This picture shows a group of seamen gunners straining to fire a final shot at the enemy as their ship sinks beneath them. Such incidents are common in modem naval warfare. It is for light cruisers that the ordeal of battle ia most strenuous. Their light build renders them liable to destruction by a single shell, while their duties frequently call on them to engage at the closest range.

Dr. Wilkins,

Accused of Wife Murder. IjONG BEACH. N. Y., March 20.-Dr. Walter Keene Wilkins pleaded not guilty when arraigned before a Justice of the peace today on a charge of murder in the first degree, in connection with the killing of his wife at their home here, February 27. He was remanded without ball to the Nassau county Jail at Mineola. Mrs. Wilkins died after being struck over the head with a hammer, and Dr. Wilkins told the polide he'and his wdfe had been attacked by burglars. Dr. Wilkins, who was arrested at the Pennsylvania station. New York city, last night, soon after his arrival from Baltimore, was brough here today for arraignment. The elderly physi-

Scandinavian Newspaper Man impressed by His Visit. {Chicago News} Erik Palm, of the staff of Ostogen, leading newspaper of Linkoping. was one of the party of Scandinavian newspaper men who recently visited the United States as the guests of the country. Writing of his chief impressions, he says: "Shall I say what made the best impression on me? It was the American

smile.

“On this side of the Atlantic Americans are generally depicted as a very serious ‘business folk, 1 who have neither time nor desire to smile, but only forge ahead. Jostled and hustled in the struggle for existence and for millions. But we saw nothing of this serious business type, whom we expected to find so richly represented. Instead, we encountered smiling people, excellent -as comrades. genial, merry and good company. I saw on the wall of a club on the Mississippi a verse that began thus; *8mile and the world smiles with you.' This seems to be the Americans' slogan, for I have never seen so many smiling peo-

ple.

“The Americans are a fine people, who give the impression of something w'holesome, robust and strong willed. Among the soldiers whom 1 saw l could not detect one who seemed undersized. "Talking of .the army reminds me of a scene at the big camp at Great Lakes, outside Chicago. We drove around In an omnibus, with a lieutenant as guide and a sailor as chauffeur. During the run they eat and chatted quite intimately. “This episode seemed typical to me of the democratic spirit prevalent in the American army and among the American people in general. In that direction we have much to learn.’’

[New York Time*) For a country that has boasted of its enlightenment and has gloried in the possession of a common ideal of freedom and democracy, the figures which | the surgeon-general recently gave out j provided something of a shock. Whereas the census bureau had led us to believe that the percentage of illiteracy was no greater than 8 per cent., the army rtgures for men of draft age put it at 24.9. or one-quarter of the population While the report as first made seemed to indicate tl*at in some cases. . particularly In South Carolina, the white men were perhaps more illiterate than the negroes, it appears that there must have been some confusion in compilation. for it is now explained that at ! Camp Grant, for instance, the examination of white men alone resulted in ! the designation of 24.9 per cent for the so-called Beta test for Illiterates, the ‘ figure reached IS per cent, for the negroes. and for 50.0i» white and colored \ men combined the result was 29 per

' cent.

The fact remains that of 1,662,256 men j examined 586,196 were unable to read American newspapers or to write letters ! home to the family. They were unable | to read and understand signs about ths camp or to understand a written or 1 printed order. In factories they would have been unable to understand signs and instructions intended to protect them from accident. The significance of this state of affairs can only be realized when it is stated that injuries in manufacturing establishments occur only half as frequently to those who can read at to those who can not. Above all. It stands out, that while the soldier was supposed to be aware that he Was fighting for the ideals of his country, and to know at least the background of historyout of which grew Germany’s guilt, in plain truth he knew only so much as his next door neighbor told him, or, in a minority of the cases, what he could glean through the doubtful medium of

the foreign-language newspaper. Wide Difference In Figures. How widely the array figures differed

from the census results is indicated in the census tabulation for 1910. Of 71,680.270 persons ten years of age and over 7.7 per cent were declared to be illiterate. Of the whites, who constituted 893 per cent, of the population. 5 per cent, were illiterate, and the negroes. who constituted 10.2 per cent, of the population. 30.4 per cent, were Illiterate. Between the draft ages the percentage of Illiteracy waa even lower than the average, that Is, about 7 per

cent.

Speaking of the problem of Americanization recently. Professor Franklin H Giddings. of Columbia university, remarked that the discrepancy between the army and the census figures showed that somebody had been doing "some tall lying." and that the bureau of education appeared on the face of the figures to be the tallest liar of all. But he pointed out that the explanation probably lay In the difference in standards employed and that the correct figure would be found somewhere between

the two extremes.

Among the first to engage In the army psychological work was Captain M. K. Trabue, who was a member of the psychological division of the army sanitary corps and later on the personal committee of the office of the adjutantgeneral. He Is now back at his post as assistant professor of educational ad ministration In Teachers' college, Columbia university. Not only has Pro feasor Trabue Intimate knowledge of the army tests, but he is familiar with the methods used In obtaining ths census figures. He calls attention to several factors contributing to inaccuracy In the census. The personnel of the force consisted largely of those who merely wanted a Job and naturally had no scientific Interest in the result obtained. The testa given for the selection of the workers were technical in nature and were not designed to bring out the gensral Intelligence needed In tfie work, perfunctory questions wars used to teat literacy, and no instructions were given to the enumerators for

guidance.

Among leading producers of steel there has been no change in the feeling that price reductions at this time wtTl not produce the desired revival in buving.

“Can you read? Can you writ*?" Any answer was accepted even from those who were obviously loath to be considered ignorant, and no check was taken to verify the fact. And It was further true, according to the professor. that even a conscientious enumerator might get the correct answer to his questions and yet fail to report the truth, for ability to write one's name isomething which many learn to do mechanically and the ability to read a few words, might technically be regarded a.s ability to read and write without enabling the individual to read anything about what in going on in th* world or to communicate In writing with anybody else on earth. It follow* that the census standard was no standard at all. but simply served to build for Americans an abode in a fool's par-

adise.

"On the other hand." said Profesaor Trabue, 'the army classification was carefully made by men trained in the universities for that kind of work. It waa based not upon ultra-scientific standards but upon common sense. W* attempted a special test at first, but abandoned it early In the game. To find out whether a man could read we gave him a series of words. Under thoae that denoted an animal, the man was to plae* the Jetter A; under those denoting & flower, the letter F; under boys' names the letter B. and so forth. However, after using this for a short time I found that it would give enormously high figures for illiteracy and that they would not give a picture of the real situation, for a man might be able to read simple English in an ordinary text, yet not be successful in this

tost. . ,*

"After that I addressed groups of 250 men in this way: 'We have here two sets of questions to test your fitness as soldiers and to determine the grade of w^ork you car. do. One test requires ability to read and write and the other does not. One is no easier than the other, so you will gain nothing Ip making a choice one way or the other. Now. we want firot those w-ho can read an American newspaper so as to under•and it fairly well and who can write a letter home such as will be understood by your family. These will take the first test, and the others who can nor read and write will take the second.’ The men, with few exceptions, told the exact truth about themselves. We checked this up later, asking those who, supposedly, were illiterates to fill ou' their names and addresses at the top of the answer blanks, and watching to sec whether any of them unconsciously started to do it. Of course, any who could not read and had declared themselves literate were quickly detected when thev glared blankly at their ques-

tion sheets.

Tremendous Problem Ahead. "There was no suggestion of a divi-

sion into the ‘sheep and the goats.' jn fact, the introduction always was, 'Some of you have not had a chance to learn to read English and we have devised a separate test for you.’ The lest for the illiterates was intended to be 1 Just as difficult as that for literates. ' but in practice it proved to be slightly eaaier. However, a man who tested in

ue highest grade in Beta proved to be

tost as intelligent as a Grade A man in Alpha, and very quickly picked up the

English language.

"The whole question simmers down to j the deplorable fact that 2S per cent, of i the men in the country lack ah undtr1 standing of the most important medium in the spread of common ideals. They j live apart from the rest of the world. Before us is a tremendous problem.
