HEARST PAPERS | The Lady Fly WHY KRIGA !$ FORCE NAVAL By QUILL M RS T 10 .AS B PAINE, fair Atlanta golfer, who is a contender for the championship at the tournament of the Women's Southern Golf Association at Memphis. First English Girl Presides in Court Secretary Daniels to Win Recruits' by Making Warships Train ing Schools. By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. j W ashington. M«y 2».—tm Hearst paper*. In advance of other American newspapers, exposed the fact that the American navy was not much more than halt- manned. The Hearst papers made the state ment. later so emphatically confirmed, that not a battleship in the *reat Hudson River display of last October could have gone out to sea to fight without a shortage of from three to f\ye officers and a shortage of from lfiO to 300 men. There newspapers developed the fact that few men were enlisting in the navy and gave the cause for this In the fact that our navy offered so few inducements and attractions for American youths to enlist in that branch of our country’s service. The Hearst papers are now able to give the first exclusive information that these unfavorable conditions are to be changed. Information comes from the Navy Department that Secretary Daniel* has caught the progressive movement urged so long in these newspapers and is going to make the American navy a more attractive and a more profit able place for the American youth who Is willing to serve his country and does not desire altogether to forget himself. Ships as Naval Schools. The Secretary of the Navy plan •hat hereafter every battleship and war vessel shall be a naval school — an industrial school—-a school of the sciences and incidentally of the arts. When the Secretary’s plans are com peted there will go out from Annapo- is with every naval vessel a corp ;.f trained instructors to teach th jailors and enlisted men. This corps r>f instructors will be reinforced by ,he educated officers of each ship. A battleship will hereafter be n.o idle place even In peace, and the ei listed man who binds himself to three years in the service of his country's navy can emergt* at the end of his service, if he has will and intelli gence, with an educational equipment lor a profession by which he can sus tain himself in the world. The three-year enlisted man ol the navy who will avail himself of these new and admirable advantages can come out a skilled engineer, a navi gator. a machinist or any one of a half-dozen skilled professions that point the way to success in life. Lewie Nixon has said that An nap oils is the best engineering school in the country and its graduates a.» leathers ought to do great things for the American sailors in three diligent years. More Frequent Cruises. The Secretary plans more frequent cruises to foreign ports, .-•o that the education of travel and observation may be added to a sailor'fc opportu nities on shipboard. And last, but nut least, the new Secretary of the Navy expresses the intention with all his infiuenee and authority to insist upon the recog nition of the individuality and man hood of individual seamen. An Amer ican sailor is promised that here after he shall be regarded, not only as \ fighting machine, but as a man and treated as one. This last is in line with the re rent movement so ably pressed in the navy by men like Captain Ben son and Commander White and other vigorous and progressive officers of the service. The result of this -new and ad mirable policy will be to fill half- empty Iiets of the navy and to make it, not a place for young men to bury themselves for three years and come out unfit to makt a living, but to be educated in mind, body and spirit by the finest of teachers, and come out in three years as all-round men, equipped in health and courage and manliness and with a practical profession in life. School for Deserters. Secretary Daniels further Intends io reform the system of punishment for desertions by sending young desert ers. first to prison and afterward to the place of reform, but to send each of them first to that notable school at Port Royal. S. C.. where they will be built up in character and patriot ism and an understanding of a cltl- xenV and a soldi* r'* duty, and if they ire docile and receptive to reinstate them in the navy without a prison f ernX These are wholesome reforms, and Secretary Daniels is to be congratu lated upon the good sense he has manifested in adopting them. that's THC ftUAT ) \ " picture i ever!

A man. a friend of the family, who was then considered honest and capable, was appointed trustee for the daughter’s property. On coming of age she called upon him for an ac counting and delivery of her in heritance and HE IMMEDIATELY DISAPPEARED. Ho is still among the ‘‘missing.’’ and THE YOUNG LADY’S INHERITANCE IS GONE.

The forest on either side swelled up the slopes of the embankment and crested across it in a green wave of trees and bushes The trail was as narrow as a man’s body, and was no more than a wild-animal runway. Occa sionally, a piece of rusty iron, showing through the forest mould, advertised that the rail and the ties still remained.
