That tho general board of the United States Navy 1b not notified of strained diplomatic rela tions between Hie American ond foreign Governments wan Mated today by near Admiral C. J. Badger, nf the board, while testifying before the House Naval Affairs Committee. Thin was brought out by ques tion asked by Jtepresentatlvo l'rcd Brit ten, of Illinois, to mow that tho general board cannot know what tho navy may be called on to do. "Wo learn of strained relations very incidentally," said tho Admiral. "Were you advised of our relations with Japan about n year ago?" asked Repre sentative Britten. "That was before I became a member of tho board," said Admiral Badger. "Have you over thought of tho financial condition that will confront European na Hnno tt the close of the present war?" asked Itepresentatlvo Walter Huntley, of Missouri. "Ves, a great deal," was the answer. "What Is tho likelihood of any of them beginning another war?" "At tho completion of our Civil War." said Admiral Badger, "wo dispatched a largo army to tho Mexican border to start another war, If necessary. Then wo had a dobt greater than any nation had ever had." Itepresentatlvo Hcnsley read a state ment from Admiral V. P. Fletcher that tho closo of this war would bo an Ideal time to bring about a reduction In arma ments. "I Uon't agree, with Admiral Fletcher," said Admiral Badger. "I don't believe that tho end of this war will bring about a great diminution In armaments. It will not bo posslblo to chango the nations of tho world In tholr determination to carry out their policies." ANDERSON CONVICTED OF MANSLAUGHTER Jury Returns Verdict Against Young Man Who Killed Saloonkeeper "Guilty of manslaughter" was tho ver dict brought today by the Jury which for a week haa been trying John F. Ander son, of Ardmore, Okla., for shooting and killing James P. Campbell, a saloon keeper, of 22d and Market streets, In his saloon September 24, 1915. I,. P. Anderson, father of the defendant, a wealthy banker and one of tho Uttla Oklahoma town's most prominent citizens, bowed bis head and nobbed aloud as Sam uel Gerhardt, foreman of the Jury, an nounced thq verdict. He had been In the courtroom constantly since the trial started last Wednesday, had testified as a witness, -telling of his son's pecularltlcB, .and the strain proved too much for him. Tho prisoner maintained tho demeanor ho bora throughout the trial, calm and composed, and absolutely without emo tion. Ah ho passed from tho courtroom he placed his hand on his father h shoul der, hut the elder Anderson did not look up at him. His face was burled In his hands and bo was wocplng quietly. Shrift Buck Garrett, of Carter County, Oklahoma, In which Ardmore Is situated, sat at the side of Mr, Anderson, who has been his friend and banefactor, and tried to comfort him. The verdict was considered a victory for the defense, for It was admitted with out controversy that Anderson had killed Campbell, and It was evident that ho grounds of Insanity had been established. For tho elder Anderson tho Bhootlng added another burden to his many irouuies as a lather. Young Anderson, who la now 27 years old, had never been quite normal mentally, had been unable to keep any Job for any length of time nnd went wandering about tho country, seldom staying at home. It was testified at the trial that he was suffering from a hereditary disease which was re sponsible for his subnormal mentality. The father spent large sum"fof money for medical treatment and for his upkeep, William A. aray, counsel for the de fense, asked Judge Henry to defer sen tence for several days. Tho maximum sentence for manslaughter Is 12 years. Mr. Gray will not ask a new trial, but wllj request a light sentence, It Is be lieved. It was the contention of tho de fense that tho young man was mentally defective, and that the shooting occurred either accidentally or In self-defense. The Jury had been out since 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and was ordered locked up for the night at 7:30. it is understood they agreed on their verdict today nnd were ready with It when court convened at 10 o'clock. Among the spectators In the courtroom was Mrs. Helen F. Campbell, widow of the dead saloonkeeper.

Armstrong has been lll-nt his homo, 105 South 11th street, for the Inst 10 months, suffering from ah acute attack of articu lar rhcumntlsm, which prevented his com mitment to prison. Ho was accompanied front his rcsldcnco today by his lawyer, John Schwnrtzkopf, and nn attendant, upon whoso arm ho was leaning heavily when ho entered tho courtroom. As the court has received no offlclol notice of tho commutation of Armstrong's sentence Judge Dickinson mado out tho commitment papers for the two-year pe riod, as originally decreed by tho court. Tho formalities were gono through rapidly and .within five minutes of tho tlmo he entered court Anderson was on his way to the Hasicrn rcnltcntlnry with Deputy Marshal Kenney. Armstrong left tho courtroom protest ing his Innocence. "I havo very llttlo to say," he remarked In reply to a question. "I nm Innocent and I hellcvo the men who are, now In jail for the oftenso of which I am going aro also Innocent. Tho wheel of fnlo has turned ngnlnst mo, and although I am innocent I guess 1 must suffer."

After President Wilson nnd twlco j '( What Did Happen? Before she was married she went to church regularly. But after marriage, because her husband didn't go, she got out of the way of going. "A wife doesn't want to go alone," she said. He had nothing against the church. It didn't interest him. "Why should I go?" he asked.' "The church has nothing for me." So he stayed home every Sunday morn- , ing, just dawdling around, or played with the children or walked out with them. That's a neat home question. Vital too. Should a girl accustomed to church -going before marriage stop going after marriage because her husband doesn't care to go? That's the kind of question that The Ladies' Home Journal takes up and handles not in the usual way. But it lets a man tell his own story a business man; a good citizen. ., This man never went to church. One Saturday eve ning he saw that a minister was going to, preach on a sub ject that had a close interest to him. .He announced to his wife that he was going. She was amazed. It was the leading church in a city of 45,000. But there were only sixty-three persons in the church. "Thunder!" said the man, "this must be a remarkable preacher nothing." - ( Then something happened. "I got the surprise of my life," says the man. What did happen ? It's worth finding out for every husband, wife, min ister and church worker. Look the story up it's real in the March issue of The Ladies' ME JOURNAL Ms only 1$ cents refused to Intervene during his Illness, Armstrong was granted clemency by a coincidence through an argument In n speech by his father, before tho Penn sylvania, constitutional convention 42 years ago. i RECTOR THOUGHT HE WAS SHOT Camden Minister, Seated at Window, Struck by Misailo The Itev, Stephen Welnzyskl, rector of St. Joseph's Polish Cathbltc Church, Camden, was sitting at a window In his study today when he wns startled by a crash of broken glass, nnd beforo recov ering from his surprise), found blood trickling from his forehead.
