ANSWERS


1. The signatures attest the "Unani-
nous consent of the states present"
The voting was by states, and the vote
of each state that of a majority of It's
deputies. Hamilton signed this attes-
tation for New York, though, as he
was the only deputy of the state pres
ent, he had not been able to cast the
vote of his state for the consent, only
IL states voting on the final Question.
There is an even greater discrepancy
about the signers Of the Declaration
of Independence. Some seven Or eight
members present on July never sign
ed; seven signers including Richard
Henry Lee, Of Virginia, Who proposed
the resolution of indeT Evidence, we're
not present on the day; and eight
other signers were II members or

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Toda1-Premier Ker-
ensky dismissed Korniloff as COM
mander-in-chief of the Russian armies
whereupon Korniloff marched upon
Petrograd at head of a division, and
Kerensky ordered his arrest with all
his generals, bringing Russia once
more to the verge of bloody civil war.
Kerensky's fellow ministers re-
signed. He took personal command of
the armies, and set himself up as alb
3olute dictator, with the All-Russian
Council of Workingmen's and Soldiers
Deputies supporting him.
The problem presented by the 10000
j. S. negroes among the 900 men
nobilized by the draft, was disposed
IF by the announcement that they
would be trained in separate organiza-
ions and the intimation that they
would be used behind the lines in
France as laborers.
Formation of the 18th Division, Ma
sional Army, was being completed at
Camp Upton, so miles from Manhat-
IAN on Long Island, with some of these
'87 900 who had been drafted Sept. s.
Among them was Irving Berlin, who
was to write at the camp a famous
war song, "Oh, How Hate to Get Up
In the Morning!"

years ago today in Augusta, Ga. His
campaigns are still studied in foreign
war colleges, and there is no doubt
that in Wheeler and Nathan Bedford
Forrest, the Confederates had two of
the greatest cavalry leaders in all his
tory. The result of the war of '61-65
might have been different had Wheel
err and Forrest had independent COM
mands, instead of been subordinates to
infantry generals.
Wheeler was the only Confederate
general who later became a general
in the u S. Army. The Spanish-Ame-
rican war was the reason, but Wheel
err incurred considerable wrath below
the Mason and Dixon Line in conse-
quence, nevertheless. Virginia's Sen.
Carter Glass recalls that during the
conflict of 1898, Jubal Early, comrade
of Wheeler in the Confederate army,

HOW ONE BOOK HELPED BRING ON
 WORLD WAR

A great many different kinds of men help to shape hlstory-lnventors, soldiers, statesmen economists, and ndustrallss. But srangest and most far-reach- ing of all is the contribution occasionally made by the man who writes book
 The publishing house of Little Brown 6, Co.,, in Bos- ton is celebrating it's centennial this year. and in it's records there IS the story of how man-whom most Americans, by this time have completely forgotten helped to bring on the World War.
 This man was Rear-Admiral Alfred Thayer Mahan of the U. S. Navy. He died in 1914 just the getting under way; but it back in 1890, when he was captain that he brought out book called The Influence of Sea Power on History
 Now here was book to which the ordinary reading public paid little attention. It was not popular" work the average reader passed it in favor of the latest novel he could hardly be blamed. But it has tremendous influence
 Captain Mahans thesis was that sea power was the amportant factor in nations rise to greatness Con- trol of the sea wars he asserted even when the army got the credit. Napoleon's grand army he re- marked never even the British feet-but in the end 1t was the British feet and the armies of the coalition, that caused Napoleon's downfall
 The influence of this book worldwide It was quickly translated into German French Russian Span ish, Italian and Japanese In England it was hailed as the bible of imperialism The German kaiser order ed every officer in his navy to read it. the the Japanese mlkado did the same All the globe this book persuaded soldiers and statesmen that they could buy national security only at the price of big navies
 50 the great worldwide naval race that led up to 1914 was begun. There were other factors involved of course; but is hardly going too far to say that it was Rear Adm Mahan who touched it off. He provid- ed the ratonazation of this impulse toward bigger naVa aranentS he 1t was who persuaded the nations of the earth that they needed more battleships.

In view of North's heart bid, West
made the somewhat unusual opening
of his fourth-best heart. Declarer, of
course, won the trick with his nine,
and at this point should have insured
his contract by playing the ace and
queen of diamonds. Actually, de-
clarer made the inexcusable error
of failing to count his tricks, and i'm
mediately led the 10 of spades, losing
to Easts king. East returned heart
and Vests jack was allowed to hold
the trick. West continued with the
king, and at last declarer woke up
and saw that the contract was in
danger.
He ran off his three spade tricks,
West discarding a small diamond.
Declarer could still have made his
three no trump by playing his two
top clubs and then throwing West in
with heart, forcing him to lead
up to the tenace in diamonds. But
declarer could not be sure that the
end play would be successful, and
SO finally played his. ace and queen
of diamonds, hoping that the king
was either blank or in the East hand
Such, however, was not the case and
declarers carelessness had cost him
a laydown game.
