Security Speech
Pleases France

PARIS. March 25.-The speech by
Austen Chamberlain, British secretary
for foreign affairs in the house of
commons last evening made good i'm
preston in French official circles. This
was by reason of it's style rather than
it's substance, for it was remarked that
there was little in his public declara-
tions that he has not already communi-
Gated to Premier Herriot.
The reassuring feature Of the
speech, it was commented, was the dis
closure that the british government
realizes that it holds the key to the
security problem.

This practice Stimulates naval game
Of six minutes on behalf Of mightier
fleet in gunpower than history has ever
reported to have staged in actual naval
battle. Each salvo from the battle
line of the eleven dreadnaughts repre-
sented a blasting belch of some 125
tons of steel projectiles.
The great battle line staggered
through the calm Pacific waters amidst
protective smoke screens at speed
of 18 knots, that is more than twenty
and one half miles an hour. Stagger

torpedoes, with dummy heads, at the

causing the dreadnaughts to veer this
way and that to avoid the one weapon
that the dreadnaught fears most.

building program of it's history. Many
Of these enterprises, notably the hotel
and school, are destined to bring to a
head other prominent construction the
nature of which will become known only
with the starting of work, or compile
tion Of the big undertakings.
Several psfsOns are known to have
medium sized apartment buildings un-
der contemplation. At least some of
these will. it ID expected, become a fact
before another winter season has ar
arrived.
Real estate men declare there is more
activity in Brownsville home sites than
ever before in the history of the city.
There are more lot statesmen than ever
before. There are more purchases than
ever before.
Brownsville dirt is turning over
rapidly
In addition 10 all this construction
scheduled for Brownsville, there prom
ises to be a great deal of activity
throughout the county. The flood con-
troll work will involve an expenditure
Of at least s1,5OO,O00, most of which
will be paid for labor.
New hotels are in contemplation for
both Harlineen and San Benito. Both
these towns already are experiencing
great activity in residence building.
A new $4,000 school building is soon
a 4 l.. F. Al
mnnity. El Jariin,S which is included in
the inmediaAe. Brownsville ,territory,
is planning TO build an $4,000 school
building.
In addition to all of which, rumors
continue persistent that at least one
new railroad system, possibly two, will
find their way into the Valley, and on
down to Brownsville.
Latest reports are that the Santa Fe
viii acquire the Missouri -Kansas-Texas
andfthGs6An Antonio, Uvalde & Gulf, as
we'll as the Rio Grande of Brownsville
and Point Isabel. At the same time,
the Southern Pacific is acquiring the
San Antonio & Arkansas Pass, with the
possibility that it will extend into the
Lower Rio Grande Valley from Fal-
furrias. IS
All in al. the outlook for Browns
Vile is oae that jusitfies the greatest
optimism Tor the months to come.
For immediate effects, let us hope
that the price of beans will keep up for
while, that the potato market will be
good as lohe as Brownsville's crop OF
6oo or 200 cars is moving. and that the
price Of tomatoes viii not be disappoint-
ing once they begin to go out OF the

the league season, but got two in
the world series. "Bucky" tied
Goose" Goslin with seven runs bat
ted in, only one less than Bob Meu-
sells record of eight made In 1923.
This year Harris is hitting .2S3
and again has hit only one American
League homer. But 1 already have
said that figures can tell only half
the story Of Harris worth.
Eddie Moore. Pirate second base
man, is one Of the rising young play
ers of the National League, fast and
a good ground coverer. The fact that
he Is hitting about rs points better in
the National League than he did in
the Southern Association is proof Of
his gameness and his ability to stand
the gaff A player who can make
such batting gain on transfer TO a
major league is not likely to be over
come or frightened by world series ex-
element
Moore is hitting .321, snappy aver
age, and he has been a fine run-get-
ter. He Is a smart youngster at bat
and doesn't swing at many bad ones.
He is a good lead-off man and also fits
nicely into the batting order when he
follows Carey. Eddie can bunt or hit
it out on the hit and run.
Before Rawlings injury he got
some consideration as Pittsburgh's
world series second baseman. Lucky

However. even had Rawlings not met

Harris showed plenty of confidence
in Zachary and Adams yesterday.
against the White Sox Saturday,
but came back smartly to uphold his
managers faith in him. There were
several long ball hitters available
when Judge was perched on third
base with the potential winning tally
in the tenth, but the pilot let Adams
know he believed him able to get that
run across by sending the substitute
in for his turn at bat.
From the second through the sixth
inning, Walter Johnson did not have
to work very hard. In the fifth
frame, he made but four pitches to
retire Davis, Barrett and Sheely.
That double play that nipped the
White Sox rally In the seventh was
a scintillating affair. Judge made a
corking good stop Of Barrett's hot
grounder and a fine throw to Ruel
to kill off Connally driving into the
plate. The catcher was up in time to
see Barrett breaking for second and
whipped the ball to Peck for the out
that retired the side.
Mostff, with splendid catches, pre-
vented Rice and Bucky Harris from
getting more safeties than they did.
His grab of the pilots loft after a
long run to right-center in the ninth
was particularly brilliant.
