Sound last summer, was opened il disclosed that each of the seamen who had been lost was at his post of duty doing what he could 10 save the ship. They could have been no greater heroes if they. had died in action.

 "On the occasion Of the recovery of their bodies, ] wish 10 express 'again my sympathy for their fam flies and friends and the pride that Ithe nation was being represented by 'such gallant men in it's navy.

SIX COLLEGIATE . TRAINING UNITS
Naval Courses to Be Established
 at Schools

Washington, July 10 cP'-Estah- usbment of six collegiate naval training units, at Harvard, Yale, Georgia Institute of Technology, Northwestern university, University of California and the University oi Washington, is planned by inc navy department 10 supplement present efforts 10 build up an adequate and self perpetuating reserve of naval officers. The units will be open with the fall semesters, students to b' carried through a four year course in naval science and tactics. Grad mates will be commissioned as re- serve ensigns.
 The plan is an adaptation for naval purposes Of the army reserve officers training corps system. ul- timately at least one unit will be set up in each of the Ii naval dis tricts.
 Under present law the strength of the naval reserve officers tram ing corps is limited to 1,2oo stu dents or 900 men under training in each of the six colleges. The tnstl- tutions named applied for installa- ton of the units and have made preparations to open naval training departments. An initial minimum enrolment of 50 students Is re- ouired for the first class, but the navy department hopes that they will start off with so men. Enroll ment in succeeding years will be based on the strength of the class remaining under training at the end of the school year.
 The same basic course will be given as is provided for midship- men at the naval academy. It will he available to students Of fl years or over who are American citizens and who have been passed upon as possessing qualities which probably would make them successful as naval officers. They will be furnish ed with uniform and other neccs- sarv equipment and the last two years of the work will cover an ad- vance course, on a minimum of live hours d week. Summer camps and cruises will be arranged 10 supple ment the college work.
 Captain A. H. Rice and It. Com mander L.. S. Stewart will direct the course at Harvard while Cap tain F. D. Berrien and It, Com- mander Lucien E. Green will per form a similar function at Yale.

I false benediction but recent events,
when there was an enforced ideness
in English cities of toll, proved once
again that idleness is greater curse than hard
labor of the most tedious kind.
Apart altogether from financial loss, there
was real joy in getting back to work among
those who had been tout" for those 10 days Of
social discomfort.
One saw it on the faces of the workers. They
were glad to return to the old drudgery on bus
step or station platform, keeping regular hours
again, forgetting grievances in the good old joy
of punching tickets or trundling luggage.
If all the years were playing holidays,
To sport would be as tedious as to work.
So old Shakespeare said without an eye on
propaganda to keep the workers busy. Ger
tainly my experience bears out this philosophy.

hardest hack WORK. than have a lot of time
