Marjorie's Battleship Picture . Marjorie Sterrett's battleship pic-! ture "Defense or Tribute," has incur-j red it-> name by reason of the fact j that the New York Tribune and many) other newspapers throughout the country are endorsing the picture as an argument in favor of preparedness, a subject which little Alurjorie Star-: rett, a public school girl of Brooklyn! aged 10. has helped to vitalize in the pages of the Tribune. Marjorie wrote to the editor, enclosing him a dime, i and suggesting the formation of a fund for the purpose of building a bat tleship. The New York Tribune ac cepted the idea and is carrying on a great campaign for collecting the; money; other newspapers throughout the country are giving the campaign! | the utmost publicity. And "Defense j > or Tribute?" the rights of which are! controlled by the Public Service Filmj I Company has been chosen as the Bat-1 : tleship picture. "Defense or Tribute?" is an argU-1 , ment for preparedness in the form of] |a series of historical dramas, based] , upon incidents in the annals of thej •lews, the Gauls, the Italians, tho | I French and others: the North Ameri-i can Indians. All the peoples were the' I victims of unpreparedness; and their! j fates are taken as a moral to "adorn j the tale" of this film, Which advocate ; peace by way of preparedness.

Punxsutawney: "1 wish to congratu late you on the stand you have taken in consenting to become a candidate for President in Pennsylvania at the approaching primary. lam sure that your candidacy will meet with the general approval of the people of Pennsylvania, and that Jeii'ersou i county and this congressional district will stand by you. 1 believe that party ) unity in Pennsylvania this year over shadows every other consideration and i wish to assure you of my hearty sup port." From John M. McDowell, Cham-j bersburg: "I am very glad to see the announcement that you are willing to allow the use of your name to be j used as a candidate for President, as a means of effecting 'a union with the Progressives.' To me this seems the best plan yet suggested to bring about j a union of the two factions of our: grand old party, once so useful and efficient, now so divided and weak ened. We must agree upon some one who will unite the two factions into' one party, upon a sane, sensible. . patriotic, down-to-date platform, or President Wilson will be his own suc cessor and the Republican party, most likely meet its final defeat and death as a party." From J. B. Hersliey.

As chairman of the! Republican city executive committee 1 of the city of McKeesport. voicing the sentiment of a large majority of the fifty members of said committee, 1 assure you our best efforts will be put forth to assist you in your under- j taking. 1 am at your command."

'The dome j is too big for the foundation,' reads' the caption of a Tokyo cartoon in which a group of Japanese 'advisers' j appears in the foreground evidently prepared to offer their good counsel to Yuan on the principles of building; construction. "In another cartoon Yuan is rep resented as a monkey trying to catch the moon (throne) in the river. Again: Yuan is seen just having discarded his j presidential hat, and in the act of; reaching for the crown. The foreign : nations, headed by John Bull and Japan, knock vigorously at his door, but Yuan, having, as it seems, a i guilty conscience tells them to keep j out. "That China, after all, is merely a' shadow, is expressed by anot her Jap-; anese artist, who portrays the yellow; kingdom (or republic) casting a huge shadow on the ground—but Ihe rising] sun, which is responsible for the! phenomenon, is labeled, 'Japan.'"
