Marryat in America.

ONLY for short time was this quiet,
~ idle life to last, for in 1897 Marryat
left for America, and that same year his
"Snarleyow, or the Dog Fiend" was pub
lished, though it was really written in the
previous year. ''The Phantom Ship" also
belongs to 1887, though it was not issued
in book form until two years later. Both
these works-though a new departure in
styie-are among Marryat's best seven

supernatural, no easy thing to do, and in
the case of THE Phantom Ship vividly

copyright in those letters belong to the

With the idea of popping up for the
Whitewater game which confronts the
local team on Sunday, July 9th, Edger-
toms ball team took on the supposedly
snappy aggregation from Rockford,
travelling under the name of Osborne's
Colts. The game on the whole was
somewhat loosely played, errors being
made frequently on both sides, but
there were also several innings on the
program that were real baseball.
Tellefson, playing his initial game
with the team, showed class for ball
player out of association with the game
for several years, and when that boy
hits his stride the fans can look for
some nice hitting. The team on the
whole has been rather weak with the
maple, but have been working hard to
improve their batting and are fast ap-
preaching that stage when they can hit
when hits are needed.
Whitewater naturally comes here
next Sunday with the idea of their be-
ing easy meat, but watch the boys put
one over this club if the breaks are
with them at all.
Let's make this game real home
coming game and turn out to give the
boys the encouragement that is needed
to build ball team, and you fans will
not be disappointed with the kind of
ball game this bunch is capable of play
ing.

This does not mean they would enter
blindly upon a program OF cancella-

has little, II any. responsibility for

Britain is able to pay, and has gotten
out of the war compensations which

convince Americans, therefore. that
the British debt should be Cancelled,
and they think ways could be found
by which payment of that particular
obligation could be received without
serious injury to American industry.
But with the debts owed US by the
other countries, it is different. With
the necessary political conditions es-

It is very conceivable that with
