"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. Sims, president ot the Nnvnl
War CoHcrc, in his address following
the nwnrd of doctor of laws degree. He
urged the "Imperative necessity of nnvnl
war rolleges on a better and larger
H-nle," because of the rapidly chnnging
conditions of wnr'on the sen.
"Our strategic and tnrtlea! objec
tive!," he continued, "are the same as
they have nlwn.vs been since the earliest
days of organicd naval operations:
that is. to Strike the cncinj with n force
superior to thnt with vhiih he can np-po'-c
us nt the point of contact. 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. Hence the absolute ucccslt.
of a naal war college of as great a
capacity as practicable."

WAR UNITY TO

Lack of Definite Aim, He
Tells Graduates
URGES EDUCATIONAL DRIVE
Hy the Associated Press
Chapel Hill, X. C, June IS. War's
great accomplishments are possible,
Secretary Lane told the graduating
clnss of the University of North Caro
lina today, because war forces unity of
purpose on men nnd nations.
Its nftermnth of revolutionary dis
content, lie said, conies because war's
cessation leaves mankind without 'a
common definite purpose for which to
strle. The cabinet member inirppd
as a remedy the possibility of building
out of the wnr spirit a renewed unity
."gain, with the purpose this time of
creating n better socictj.
"This is war's superior claim," he
said. "Not its blood-letting, but its
deliniteness. Men do as they have neer
done; they accept leadership g1a(.
Potter comes to them that is abnor
mal. The force of the world is nml-'
tiplied. AVnr's objectives arc gained
by quick and sudden efTorts, because it
aims at destruction, and this misleads
many who seek to use the powers it
develops for the uplift of mankind when
pence conies.
"Out of the wnr we have come wish
ing that men may fashion the machinery
by which the ndwnturous purposeful
ness f war may be carried over into
pence. belieing somehow that it will
be so because we wish it.
"Ours in America Is not u woik of
reconstruction. Tl lornle of this na
tion is stronger, not weaker, for our
adventure. We weie walking in the
right way before, and now we shall
go faster. Wnr hns been an accelerator
to an Impulse that wnM expressing itself
in business and politics, in our litera
ture and nil our life, uu impulse to
serve men."
Reviewing the failures of present ilnj
society to biing comfort nnd happiness
to all he asked for a spirit to "tight
ignorance, injustice and disease as well
as jou light men," with accomplish
ment as sure.

"The quality of the wlie-it also has

on the kernel of the w'hent. Germany

The minister added that lie hoped

and, nboc all. that the might continue,

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.

TRUGGLING
RUSSIA"
A New Weekly Magazine Devoted to Russian Problems
Should Be in Every American Library and in
Every American Home
1st. The Russian problem is the central World Problem of to-day. Peace in Eu
rope and throughout the world is impossible without peace in Russia. The
League of Nations is impossible without Russia becoming a stable democracy
and a participant in the League.
2nd. "Struggling Russia" fights the Bolshevist tryanny and stands for the estab
lishment in Russia, through an All-Russian Constituent Assembly, of a Govern
ment of the people, by the people and for the people. By fighting Bolshevism
"Struggling Russia" performs a service of international importance. Bolshevism
is not merely a Russian phenomenon. It is a terrible aftermath of the War, an
international disease demanding immediate and energetic attention.
3rd. Every issue of "Struggling Russia" contains articles devoted to political, so
cial and economic problems of Russia, and series of important Russian Docu
ments. Every week the magazine contains an article by Catherine Breshkovsky,
the "Grandmother of the Russian Revolution."

Lib
rarians on
"Struggling Russia ' '
Cclia A. Hay ward, Acting Librarian of the
Berkeley Public Library, Berkeley, Cal., says: "We
are receiving 'Struggling Russia' and 1 consider it
of utmost value at the present time when the situa
tion in Russia is threatening not only the existence
of Russia herself but the welfare of the whole
world. I wish to express my hope for the entire
success of the Russian people in their efforts to free
themselves of this red "terror of Bolshevism, and
I am glad to subscribe for 'Struggling Russia.' "
D. S. Pinneo, Librarian, Public Library.
Norwalk, Conn., says: "Enclosed please find our
subscription for 'Struggling Russia.' We cannot
afford to be without anything so enlightening upon
the situation in Russia, and you can believe me
when I say America is eager to help the real Russia,
and in the right way not by taking the hand of
the present murderers."
Gladys Judd Day, Librarian, Hartford Bar
Library Association, Hartford, Conn., says: "We
received your splendid weekly, 'Struggling Russia.'
Russia's foe, Bolshevism, is just as great a danger
to our own country unless thorough understanding
of what it actually means is set before our people."
Mary E. McCoy, Librarian of the lndianola
Public Library, lndianola, Iowa, says: "We are
more than pleased with copies of 'Struggling Rus
sia' already sent us and are expecting just as splen
did articles in the next numbers."
Readers' Comment ( Struggling
Russia"
John Spargo, the prominent American leader
and writer, author of the splendid book on "Bol
shevism," says: "You are doing a big thing in
publishing 'Struggling Russia' bigger for
America than for Russia, even ! You are giving
us exactly whaUis wanted: carefully tested,
authoritative, documentary evidence. I want to
thank you from the depths of my heart."
George Kennan says: "'Struggling Russia'
is excellent. I am sure that all my friends will
subscribe to it."
W. J. Ghent says: '"Struggling Russia' is
admirable. It contains just the sort of material
that ought to make a deep impression on the
liberal and progressive elements and on that
part of the radical element which is open-minded
and willing to listen to the truth."
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. I will
from time to time use some of the articles in our
official journal so as to give to our members the
true state of affairs in Russia."
7'. Chas. 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. I shall be pleased to utilize the in
formation which your magazine contains in my
comments and articles upon conditions in this
country which are presumed to be a reflex of
conditions in Russia."
The first fourteen issues of the magazine contain articles by Catherine
Breshkovsky, Nicholas Tchaikovsky, Alexander Kerensky, Leonid Andreiev,
Paul Miliukov, Vladimir Bourtzev, C. M. Oberoucheff, Prof. Joseph M. Gold
stein, A. J. Sack, Emanuel Aronsberg, M. K. Eroshkin, and others.
