ELYRIA, Ohio, Aug. 2O.-"The
Lord has taught me that 1 owe you,

enemies Of peace are those super
ficial pacifists who believe that we
can vote war off the earth.

lieve to be injustice. We can
create practically q .warless world,
but we must begin with the removal
Of the causes which lead to war.
Very probably those who talk
sentimentally about peace would
be the first to denounce our Gov.
eminent bitterly If our coasts were
left defenseless and as a result
American territory were invaded.
War L. Final Arbiter.
las the world is now constituted,
war is the final arbiter Of many
issues and If this be accepted as the
normal state Of affairs, any nation
which hopes to maintain a position
Of respect and prestige in the world
must prepare and must perfect its
war plans. There is too much ef-
fort today to shut our eyes to this
fact. If the army and the navy
are to continue to be the final
arbiters Of our destiny, 1t is then
our duty to make them strong and
to apply to their development all
our knowledge and all our energy.
National defense demands the
securing Of an adequate supply Of
essential raw materials. They are
necessary for the successful opera
ton Of the army and navy Pro-
visions must be made not only for
q product such as petroleum, but
also for lesser products such as
iodine, quinine. etc. The tremend.
Gus importance Of raw materials
was emphasized by the experience
Of the great war. Two tons Of
steel, or tons Of copper, and 0.16
tons Of fixed nitrogen are required
in modern war operations to keep
each man in the field for a year.
Hence, no nation can wage modern
war successfully II it does not have
control Of, or at least uninterrupted
access to, a large iron and steel In
dustry and sources Of other
essential materials.
Nations are now centering their
preparedness efforts on means Of
destruction such as poisonous gas
and airplanes which are not only
deadly in their, effect upon armies,
but also upon civilian populations.
In spite Of these developments how
ever, it would appear that our bat.
tleships and cruisers are still the
backbone of our national defense"

FISHHAWKS PUT NEST
ON TOWER OF SCHOOL

CAPE MAY, N. j., Aug. 90
Fishawks in lower Cape May coun-
ty have developed educational
ideas.
i When the Fishing Creek village
school district closed early in May.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fishhawk, who We're
very DESTROYS that their young
should get an education built their
nest on the schoolhouse tower,
directly over the big. bell. During
the summer they raised a family
Of six. Prof. Durrel Hoffman said
today he was worried about what
would become Of the nest when
school opened in September and
the big bell was rung.
1t is a well-known fact that fish
HAWKS are the only birds which
repair their nests each year, in
stead of building new nests, but
it is a foregone conclusion that
the educational birds will have 10

NAVY OFFICIALS
WILL FIGHT
S[ASHES
Roosevelt and DENLY May APP.
peal to Coolidge Against
Budget Restrictions.
By H. X. REYNOLDS,

international News Service.
The general board of the
United States Navy cleared fol-
action today and prepared for a
finish fight with the Bureau of
the Budget over naval appropria-
tons.
Brigadier General Herbert M.
Lord, the Director of the Budget,
has ordered Acting Secretary of
the Navy Roosevelt to slash ap-
proximately $7O,O0O,OOO from the
estimates for the next fiscal year
and the battle is on.
Will Appeal To Coolidge.
Administrative officers of the
Navy declare that practically all
construction work will have to be
halted If the budget order is car.
ried into effect, and they are con.
sidering direct appeal to President
Coolidge on the ground that it will
be impossible to keep the American
naval establishment on a par with
that of Great Britain, as provided
by the Washington treaty, If funds
are not appropriated in accordance
with the estimates of the general
board.
Both Secretary DENLY and Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt are in full
accord, 1t was stated at the Navy
Department today, with the effort
Of the Administration to reduce Fed
eral expenditures by at least $685..
600, 900 next year, but they do not
understand why they should be ask
ed to shoulder more than half of
this reduction
The Nays construction program
provides for the building of eight
new cruisers and six new subma-
rines, and the general board insists
that these ships must be completed
and placed in service to maintain
the authorized 5-5-3 ratio between
the United States, Great Britain and
Japan.
Will Be Fought Out.
Regardless of the final decision
of President Coolidge in approving
the departmental estimates for
transmission to Congress in Decem-
Der, the whole question will be
fought out again before the naval
appropriation bill is passed.
1t was also learned today that an
attempt will be made to effect the
recall of the order of the Harding
Administration. holding in allegiance

strange sea monster has drifted
ashore on Key Biscayne, q few

two small fins, but few inches
long, back Of the gills, and
two large vertical fins, two
feet long and shaped somewhat
like shark fins. A tail or
rudder-shaped fin is the only
other. The skin is similar to

OF particular curiosity is the
rudder or tail fin which seems

There is q joint before this fin
