"This wnr lias shown thnt the rom niNslotied personnels ot nnvies in pen ornl are not veil trnlned in the prar tlee of the principles of warfare, how ever skllfull and ellieient they may be In other respects." said Hear Admiral William S.

The problem differs in no r"cntiiil 1 expect from Hint of Nelson' time. The only difference is thai the conditions hne become much more complicated, the weapons nunc destructive, and the cle ment of time is vastly more important. "With both commanders determined to fight n decisive action, the issue will be decided in a ery short time, ami the result will be the practical destruction of the defeated licet. "Our problem is to dei"c means of appling our practical experience of Instalments of destruction in accord ance with the immutable principles ot warfare. This will recpiiie continuous study.

The Importance of Being Diverting 1IFE is a serious affair these days. J Folks haven't time for diversion," said our friend the Highbrow. Life without diversion is flat as a six month's bevo," said we. "Come along and see how diverting it can be." We saw men and women, leaders of their communities, sitting with their neighbors in enthralled contemplation of the gymnastics of a chap called Fair banks whese only "message" is the health that's in laughter. We saw se date heads of families roaring their own off as one Mr. Chaplin met up with a policeman. We saw finally these same substantial folks buying and reading a magazine that is primarily diverting and that never once in all its pages mentions industrial unrest, the all too high cost of living or the salvage of profits. Man can't live on work and worry alone. Hence the motion-picture and Photoplay its leading magazine. . The tonic breeziness of Photoplay wins a heart-felt welcome in the real homes of the nation. Photoplay has come to be a serious factor in American life because it real izes the importance of being diverting.

Gladys Judd Day, Librarian, Hartford Bar Library Association, Hartford, Conn., says: "We received your splendid weekly, 'Struggling Russia.'

J. G. Phelps Stokes says: " 'Struggling Rus sia' is important and admirable." Thomas E. Burke, General Secretary of the United Association of Plumbers and Steamfit ters, says: "I congratulate you on the manner in which 'Struggling Russia' is edited.

Price, Editor, Union Labor Bulle tin, says: "Allow me to compliment you upon your 'Struggling Russia,' which comes at an op portune time to offset the propaganda of ruth lessness which is finding birth in this country as a result of the so-called proletarian ascendency in Russia.
