FACTS ABOUT UNITED STATES
NATIONAL DEFENSE

Mr.. B. F. Haines of Bristol town
ship called our attention to the fol-
lowing facts about United States
National defense which appeared in
the Dec. 28, 1888, issue of THE
National Tribune" publ shed at
Washington. D. c., and which fig
ures are of course reliable.
Strengths of the armies of the
various countries in the year 1882
are given as follows: Russ a, 49,
S73.6OO. France, 6,975 005; Italy,
o,4sS 141: Spain 2,S24,50o; Japan,
2.177, 500: Poland, 977 100;
china, 925 500; Rumania, 1.730,-
900: C e-hns'ovak a, 1927, 900;

1t WI t1us be seen that Russia
stands fret in Army strength, and
United States 18th.
In regard to Naval strength the
follow ng IS given. Both Great Brit
ain and the United States began re-
Guctions in 1922 from about l.
100000 tons each. to Great Brit
aims 100000 N 1924 and the
United States 100000 Great Brit
ain gradually reduced to 1882
when she had about 500 600 tons
The United States reduced more
mage of 100000 about 1926. Great
Britain shows a level of 100000
through 1884. with a slight decline
by 1886 down to 100000. The
United States reached the 500,
900 level in 1882, declining to
about 100000 in 1884 and slightly
over 100000 in 1886. Meanwhile
Japan, from 100000 in 1922. reach
ed the 100000 level about 1925 and
crossed the United States

A Tribute -.
With the closing of the game this
week with the Marietta Reserves,
there VII likewise come a severe
blow to the hopes of M. & M. for
many future victories. As we paid
respects to Captain Lewey White
house in football, we also extend
our feelings of regret to Captain
Bill Whitaker in basketball. What
"Lewey" did n football, Bill has
accomplished in basketball. Instill-
ed w tn fine sportsmanship and a
bulldog tenacity, Bill has led M. e.
NJ. to four victories, and has led us
to defeat but twice. "Wee-lah' has
shown fine bit Of basketball Prov
ess and displayed his never-glve-up
Qualities in many close contest.
Perhaps BITS spirit gave M. & NJ.
the power to exc out one 20 mt vic
tories over Byesville and Crooks
Vile and led the attack against
Caldwell so successfully; perhaps
his being elected from the game at
GIOuStcr va the lOul fOuse Qu-CA-
ened the footsteps of defeat; rer-
haps he will close his M. & NJ. bas-
kctball career th week in a blaze
of cory as he mas hacked and hewH
his way along Dear Mt. Airy's'
hard path Bin has earned himself
a place among the athletic greats
of M. & NJ and deserves the admir-
alton, and with sincere regret, we
salute our captain and bid him a
deep farewell from future B g
Red" cage representatives NJ.
& NJ. Basketball Squad.

With CrooksviIIe
The M. e M. athletic representa-
tives played host to Crooksvllle
last Friday evening, and came out
of the battle with one defeat and
one victory. The Little Reds"
were confronted with the huge
task of stopping the fast-stepping,
powerful CrooksviTle sextet The
game was fast, close throughout, and
thrilling in every meaning OF the
word. The two teams presented
fine brand Of basketball, and the
game wound up with the Little
Reds" on the little end of an 1915
score. The girls showed real class
and bode i'll for every alien repre-
sentative to come.
The boys game likewise was fast,
furious, and close, with the Big
Reds" holding an advantage
throughout, which they carefully
protected as Capt. Nelson and his
mates threatened seriously to pull
the game from the fire, but fell
short and 'ceded the victory 1915.
The whole M & M. team fought
hard and earned their victory, OF
which they should be justly proud.
This week the boys journey to
New Concord, Friday, for a big
Six" league game, and return Sat
urday to play Marietta Reserves In

The grade school cage team has
recently played several games ana
has emered victorious in all OF

fine basketball skill and deserve to
be watched in the future.
