BIG NAVY VITAL.
SAYS SPEAKER
AT TOWN HALL
Marcosson AssaiIs
DiCtatorships

"The United States cannot be
smugly complacent about its i'm
pregnability and with two coasts
to defend, needs the greatest
navy in the world"
Authority for this statement is
Isaac F. MarcoSson, magazine
writer and interviewer, who spoke
last night before large Town Hall
audience in the Rialto Theater.
RAPS DICTATORS
Marcosson, who has interviewed
virtually all of the world leaders
during the last decade, character
lied all dictatorS as double
crossers." He said Americas need
for Q big navy is greater because
the British rearmament program
will not be complete until 1910 and
because Britain's recent overtures
to Italy indicate she is turning In
that direction for an ally instead
of toward the United States.
He explained that an Anglo
Italian alliance might be Salu-
tary thing because it would tend to
break up the Rome-Berlin axis.
It might be more to Mussolini's in
terest, he declared, to have a
friend in Great Britain than an
ally in Germany.
DOUBTS WAR
A general European war, in the
opinion of MarcoSSon, is remote
likelihood. Working aginSt such
possibility, he said, are two fac
tors: Countries realize they
wouldn't have much chance of
winning a material victory; no
country can count on an ally.
He blamed the present paradox
Of peace on the Treaty of Yer
Sailles and on its framing by poll
ticians instead of statesmen"
From the day it went into effect,
he said, every economic issue be-
came political one.

snapped Young.
The door opened and the Captain,
like an enraged bull, hurled himself
into the strong room, but he fell to
the floor on his face. A long black
tongue downed hint was dealer
of death in the throes of a whirlwird.
The Captain lay across my feet. In

them there whirled a shadowy arm

death for the priest.
"Finis ?" asked the priest softly.
His voice was soft and purring like
that of cat. All the treachery OF
Judas was in his polite tone. He
threw the billet on the floor, he was
caught.
Young's voice was full of triumph
as he called to me: "Put handouts

gum"
Father Godefroy pulled something
of shining metal from his pocket and
tossed it to me. But l was looking

We concealed watchers were as
founded when the clergyman laugh
ed and the shoulders of the Mate
shook with merriment. Evidently they
were enjoying some joke. The mate
returned his gun to his pocket.
A revolver against man of God!
Ho, no, what joke!
The CAPTAIN and Young Uttered but |
remained serious.
Then the Mate and the priest talked,
we could not hear their words, but
thev must have concerned the safe be-
cause both pointed at it's small draw
rs.
The priest put his hand in his pock-
ct and took out cross-a little cross
on a chain. He let it hang from his
hand and looked carefully at the safe.
"Ah, the cross of Bishop Abicourt!
It is of great value, covered with
rubies-rubies on black silver. He
wishes to have it put in the vault for
safe-keeping; he told me so this morn
ing" whispered the Captain to me and
his breath tickled my ear.
otis a strange time to come to the
vault, though" said l coldly.
"Oh, Father Godefroy often stays
up all night-in prayer. He likes to
be alone-he says that at night, God
is nearest to man." rejoined the skip
per.
"Did he tell you that? How orig

The Mate took the cross and walked
to the safe, his back to the priest. AT
this instant something happened sc

was taken unaware. It was as if &

least to be suspected. 1t would be
unusual to have a Captain as watch
man, Young would shock the thief, and
as for me-I'm out of the question be-
cause am passenger"
"That is true" confirmed the Cap
tain, relief visible on his countenance.
How pleased he was that l had not at
tempted to get the watch for my
self! He had taken a chance!
"The First Mate is the proper one
to watch in the strong room :. you
are a good adviser, Mr.. Svendrup,"
Young chuckled and clinked his glass
against mine.
The Mate appeared like a dog
which has had bone tossed to him
but fears to take it because he was
once poisoned that way. He walked
to the strong room, glad that he could
now be natural and not have to play
a role of friendliness, i.e., smile when
he would rather bite. Heswe through
the door without speaking to us

Did the Mate feel that he was being
led to slaughter? He shut the door
so that the noise resounded.
Young put out the light and turned
on the illuminated camera spy-the
"opal eye." Again a picture appear
ed-that of the First Mate sitting on
his chair and smoking. He looked
more like a prizefighter than sail
or.
l sat between Young and the Cap
tain as before, and I am sure that
each had his hand in his pocket on his
gun and that each of those Browning
automatics was pointed at me.
The monotony of watching the opal
eye made me sleepy; the blood pump
ed in my ears. Suddenly I sat up
straight.
"What was that ?"
Young's figure next to me stirred
into life. But he was still asleep be-
cause I could hear his regular breath
ing. Then I made an unpleasant dis
covery-my own Browning was not il

The proof Of value
Of any FERTILIZER
IS in the field results
TER'S g. g.

No matter what we tell you about our
Fertilizers the field results are what
count. Worcester has been making Fer
tilizers for twenty-five years and their
Fertilizers have produced unusual field
results. Better Fertilizers come from
better materials, and that is why Wor-
cester has had continual habit of max
ing Fertilizers that please their trade:
You get Fish and Tankage, Nitrate OF
Soda, Sulphate of Ammonia, Superphos-
phate and Potash in the Fertilizers you
buy of us. Fish has had known produc-
tive value since the time when the
Indians put a fish in each hill of corn.
Fish today has known productive value
and the user of Worcester's knows it be-
cause of the results produced.

The Worcester plant at Snow Hill,
Md, is near you and from this plant and
the distributing warehouses that Wor-
cester has set up for service, you can be
assured of excellent service at any time.
Worcester knows what goes into their
bag of Fertilizer. Worcester knows that
their materials are of proven value. You
can come to our plant within few min
utes from where you live and see for
yourselves just how your Fertilizer is
mixed; how we double mix; how we cure
in bins for good drilling; what materials
we have in our warehouses for use in the
Fertilizers we sell. You can see, feel
and smell the Fertilizers. Come see us
