NAVY MAN IN
TALK ON SER
VICE WAS HEBE
CAPTAIN STATEN SPOKE AT THE
CITY LIBRARY LAST EVE
TO A SMALL CROWD.
BEEN IN NAVY THIRTY YEARS
Says Winning the War Depends on
Our Getting Troops to France,
and Supplying Them.
From Saturday's Iaily.
Last evening at the auditorium of
the public library. Captain Staten
addressed a rather small crowd, but
a very much interested one ,on con
ditions in the navy and marine ser
vice of the United States and the im
portance of keeping a line of com
munication open between here and
K u rope.
The meeting was opened by a
patriotic song, after which Rev.
Truscott offered the invocation, and
E. II. YVescott, as chairman, intro
duced the speaker. Captain Staten
said that the matter of winning the
war depends largely on our getting
troops to Europe and supplying them
after we have gotten them safely
over-sers. This is the proposition
that confronts the United States, and
if we can do that we have the war
won. but to do this we need ships
and more ships, and we will have to
make them in increasing numbers
fa: ter faster faster.
Of first class battle ships, he said
we have about fifty and for plying
the Atlantic, we have to have about
five colliers for a large battle ship.
At present we have 2 4 colliers and
are sorely in need of nearly three
hundred more. 15y the aid of Eng
land we have been able to land some
troops in France, and are at this
time lauding about ten thousand a
day, which if we could keep up the
average would, in the course of a
year, place us in a position to do ef
fective fighting. Captain Staten de
clared that so far we have lost more
on the sea than we have lost in
land battle. The intention of the
United States is to supply 30,000
airplanes, which will require a mil-
alone. In order to put these mil
lion men and 30,000 airplanes on
French soil, we are in need of eight
million tons of new shipping, and
the only way to get it is to build
it. Good progress has been made,
but the unions, which are composed
quite largely of Germans and
Austrians, SO per cent of the mem
bership being foreign born, are ob
structing the matter of ship build
ing by just at this time having in
troduced in congress bills making it
unlawful for any one to offer in
ducement to workmen to speed up
their labor, even though they nrny
be well paid for it, the proposal be
ing to carry the bills on the ground
that men would over-burden them
selves through greed for the added
wage offered. This is not true, and
the number of men broken down in
health through overwork is so small
in a score of years as to be insignifi
cant. Captain Staten dwelt at con
siderable length and desired to have
the people get in touch with their
congressmen to the end of having
the anti-efficiency bill defeated, in
order that the ship building pro
gram may be speeded up to a rate of
production that will insure troops
going forward and supplies follow
ing them in large quantities. For
what would it avail us to send our
boys to France and then not be able
to feed them or supply them with
arms and ammunition.

From Friday's Pally.
Last evening, to a house crowded
almost to its capacity, was held at
the Parinele theatre the annual de
clamatory contest given under the
auspices of the Daughters of the
merican Revolution.
The evening's program was begun
by the singing of "Freedom for All
Forever," by a chorus directed by
Mrs. Mae Morgan, after which Glad
ys KalTenberger, the first speaker on
the program gave a reading entitled,
"The Unknown Speaker," which was
well rendered and elicited much ap
plause.
Miss Henrietta Waintroub follow
ed with a humorous number entitled
"Xo News," which she rendered in
excellent manner, also receiving evi
dence of gratification.
"Your Flag and My Flag" was
sang by the chorus. Miss Una Crook
followed with "Now Father's Talk
ing," an amusing character-sketch
in which she impersonated the
Grouchy Dad who arrogated all to
himself. An excellently presented
humorous number, was the general
verdict.
Miss Goldie Kaffenberger followed
with a piece of much merit, in which
she showed long preparation and
unmistakable ability in delivery, as
her number was highly applauded.
Alter another number, Miss Helen
Pcntias gave a reading entitled,
"Talking Over the Telephone," in
which she demonstrated her ability
to please an exacting audience and
the people were demonstrative of
their satisfaction to a marked de
gree of applause.
Wm. Sprecher, a popular young
man of the high school, had to
wait until his greeting had some
what subsided before he could be
gin, but, once started, he sailed
right in, and with "The Gladiator,"
a dramatic utterance, produced what
the judges and the audience pro
nounced as being near perfect.
Then followed a sketch. "Knit-
piece very difficult of delivery, yet
well rendered by the young speaker.
This concluded the speaking and
as a closing number the chorus sang
"When the Boys Come Marching
Home Again." While the prizes were
being awarded Miss Altman rendered
a violin sole, which was certainly re
ceived with much pleasure by the
audience.
There still being a little time be
fore the judges were ready to report,
the Marseilles,' set to American
words, was sang by the chorus.
The 'judges then having conclud
ed their work, Mrs. Hazel B. Smith,
one of the members of the D. A. R.,
in a very pleasing address named
the winners, both of the evening's
contest and also of the essays which
have been a feature of the last few
weeks of the school year.
Wm. Sprecher was awarded first
prize for his oration and Miss Una
Crook received second prize. In tha
essay writing contest Miss Josephine
Manners, Eighth grade received the
first prize and Miss Marie Nemetz of
the Seventh grade was awarded sec
ond place.
This concluding the exercises, the
audience stood and joined in sing
ing "America."

the quicker the easier it will be. The

Elenor Iliber next delivered "The

a manner that showed understand

"The Unknown Speaker" and it be

Miss Kaffenberger, one could not

But my aunt s washerwoman s sis

Heard a policeman on his beat
Say to a laborer on the street.
That he had a letter just last week
Written in the finest Greek
From a Chinese coolie in Timbuctoo,
Who said the Indians in Cuba knew
Who got it straight from a circus
clown.
That a man in the Klondike heard
the news
From a gang of South American Jews
About somebody in Borneo
Who heard a man who claimed to
know
Of a swell female society rake
Whose mother-in-law will undertake
To prove that her seventh husband's
sister's niece
Has stated in a printed piece.
that she has a son who knows a
Zula chief
Who knows that Red Cross funds are
not used for relief."
