What was laekintf, said thv admiral, was authority vested in a board of trained naval officers to coordinate all the military work and keep the fleet at lighting pitch at all times. He believed no ships should he placed in reserve, but that all should be kept constantly in commission and fully manned in order that suilioient men might le trained. Asked what authority he would take from the secretary and lodge in the staff, he said he would have the entire military side of the service absolutely under the staff. "If it is a question of mounting a 1 I -inch or a l)-inch gain." said the witness, "naval otheers should decide that,' They are the men who will use the liiiis." The navy war college. Adndral Winsiow said, was a very valuable adjunct, and other nations had followed the American lead in establishing such institutions, yet it had been nearly done away with under several s'ji-retaries.

IIop!tals arc great and necessary institutions, but they should be the last resort for women who suffer with ills peculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of women after they have been recommended to submit to an 'operation have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham 's Vegetable Compound. Mere are three such letters. All sick women should read them.

He also rides them by keeping their heads up ja they cannot dive. Tho tail of the alligator is as dangerous as its mouth and Jim's agility is severely taxed in dodging this extremity when mounting and dismounting. So far he has been able to accomplish the feats without sustaining any serious injury.

Here is Wilson's Letter to Sen. Stone

"February 24, 1916. "My Dear Senator: "I very warmly appreciate your kind and frank letter of today, and feel that it calls for an equally frank reply. "You are right in assuming that I shall do everything in my power to keep "the United States out of war. I think the country will feel no uneasiness about my course in that respect. Through Many anxious months I have striven for that object, amidst difficulties more manifold than can have been apparent upon the surface, and so far 1 have succeeded. I do not doubt that I shall continue to succeed. The course which the central European powers have announced their intention of following in the future with regard to undersea warfare seems for the moment to threaten insuperable obstacles, but its apparent meaning is so manifestly inconsistent wtih explicit assurances recently given us by those powers with regard to their treatment of merchant vessels in the high seas that I must believe that explanations will presently ensue which "will put0a different aspect upon it. We have no reason to question their good faith or their fidelity to their promises in the past, and I, for one, feel confident that we shall have none in the future. "But in any event, our duty is clear. No nation, no group of nations, has the right, while war is in progress, to alter or disregard the principles which all nations have agreed upon in mitigation of the horrors and sufferings of war; and if the clear rights of American citizens should ever unhappily be abridged or denied by any such action, we should, it seems to me, have in honor no choice as to what our own course should be. "For my own part I cannot consent to any abridgment of the rights of American citizens in any respect. The honor and seit respect of the nation is involved. We covet peace, and shall preserve it at any cost but the loss of honor. To forbid our people to exercise their rights for fear we might be called upon to vindicate them would be a deep humiliation, indeed. It would be an implicit, all but an explicit, acquiescence in the violation of the rights of. mankind everywhere and whatever nation or allegiance. It would he a deliberate abdication of our hitherto proud position as spokesmen even amidst the turmoil of war for the law and the right. It would make everything this government 1 i a attempted and everything that it has achieved during this terrible struggle of nations meaningless-and futile. "It is important to reflect that if in this instance we allowed expediency to take the place of principle, the door would inevitably be opened to still further concessions. Once accept a single abatement of right and many other humiliations would certainly follow, and the whole fine fabric of international law might crumble under our hands, piece by piece. What we are contending for in this matter is of the very essence of the things that have made America a sovereign nation." She cannot yield them without conceding her own impotencv as a nation and" making virtual surrender of her independent position among the nations of the world. "1 am speaking, my dear senator, in deep solemnity, without heat, with a clear consciousness of the hi;h responsibilities of my office, and as your sincere and devoted friend. If we should unhappily differ, "we shall differ as friends; but where issues so momentous as these are involved, we must, just because we are friends, speak our minds without reservation. "Faithfully vours, " "WOODROW WILSON."
