16 GHENT LOSES BY RULING ON PLANTS Botanic Gardens Face Annual Loss of Two Million Francs BrnsscU, July B.—The city of Ghent which is noted for its magnificent botanic garden, is greatly concerned over the ruling of the American De partment of Agriculture, prohibiting the importation of live plants owing to danger .of insect infection. It is stated that this will mean a yearly loss of business amounting to two million francs. As no shipmertts have been made to America for the last three years it is felt that Americans have no proof as to the existence of insect menace and the authorities have re quested through the Consular chan nels that an American expert be sent to Ghent to test the soil and plants, in the hope that the prohibition will be withdrawn.

WAR ELEVATES JERSEY GIRL TO AMERICA'S PREMIER POSTMISTRESS Work of Handling Y. M. C. A. Mail In France and Rhineland a Big Job—Over 110,000 Letters Handled Daily New York. July S. —Miss Violet M. Bennett of Montclair, N. J., a Y. M. C. A. girl, has become America's premier postmistress since the be ginning of the war. This record stands not only on the volume of business handled from her post oftlce, but from the size of the office and staff, and the territory covered b>' it—an area greater than the State of Texas. "1 he territory which Miss Bennett's post office series is France and the Khineland. Her office staff in Paris consists of eighty-five secretaries, and the number of letters handled daily runs over 110.000. To make the job even more difficult, more than half of this mail has to he forwarded. This mail is not for the 8,000 Y. M. C. A. secretaries alone who are in Kurope. but is for thousands of American doughboys who have their letters from home addressed in care of the various "Y" huts. This and the expansion of the Y. M. C. A. activities all over eastern Europe has extended the post office's functions into Serbia, Greece. Turkey, Pales tine and the Murman coast. A staff of twenty-eight people is required tor the work of receiving and for warding mail beyond the Paris ter ritory. An added burden on the workers in this office is the Army manner of designating towns and post offices throughout Franco by numbers which creates complications in all forwarding work in France. At the general delivery window of Miss Bennett's office more than seven thousand people are waited on each week. A staff of eight clerks does nothing but answer inquiries for mail, sell stamps, register letters and take changes of address. One bureau does nothing but handle the mail of the \. M. C. A. entertainers. There are about a thousand of these artists anil actors, divided into 134 units, are playing one night stands for the most part. They all receive correspondence from their wide circle of friends, and their mail presents a problem in juggling that makes their depart ment avoided by other workers. Miss Bennett went to France eat i> in the fall of 1917 to do canteen work for the association. A sho ' ll time after her arrival George M.

WAITERS CONTROL HOTELS IN ROME Controversy Over Tips Ends in Strike—Restaurants Closed Rome, July 5. —Restaurant wait ers have beon recently veritable an cient Caesars in Rome for they have controlled both the public and the hotel and restaurant proprietors. Romans cannot eat outside the con tines of their own home for there is now no place to eat. All restuur [ unts are closed. The quarrel is on the unending | subject of tips. It has been the ! policy during some weeks to include | the tip in the bill. At the end of each day. the waiter's share would I amount ,to 20 per cent ot the gross j receipts in some cases. The pro ! prietors found that this procedure was not acceptable to the guests and asked the waiters to return to the former system of voluntary tipping. They refused. The refusal culminated in a strike. Some hotels were forced to accede to Ihe demands of the waiters and iin these alone was anyone able to procure food. Because these hotels were the only ones in which people could be served, the waiters clashed with the patrons. Italian officers accompanied by women were insult ed while a dignified British general, just returned from the campaign in Palestine was subjected to a some what torturesome excoriation.

NAVAL HISTORY Twelve of Them, Ordered to Be Broken Up and Sold For Junk, Played Prominent Parts in American Achievements Washington, July 8. Decision of : the Navy Department to break up and ] ' sell for Junk or use for targets twelve | obsolete battleships marks the puss- i ing of a fleet of vessels long Identi- i lied with many of the most glorious j . achievements of the new American j navy. They wrote many bright pages ! into this country's naval history dur- [ I ing their years of service and four of them have participated actively In two wars. The doomed ships, in cluding the famous old Spanish- American war squadron consisting of the Oregon, lowu, Indiana und Mass achusetts and the more modern but hardly less famous Kentucky, Kear- j surge, Alabama, Illinois, Wisconsin, ( Ohio, Missouri and Maine, composed one of the most, if not the most, ! powerful battleship fleet In the world i more than fifteen years ago. Foremost among the achievements of these famous old lighting craft Is the part they played in the Spanish- American war. The Oregon, which had been commissioned at San Fran cisco in July, 181)6, was at Mare Is land navy yard in 1898 when the mes sage was flashed to her commander that the United States was at war with Spain. On March G, 1898, the , famous old ship cleared the Golden , Gate, bound for the West Indies, on what proved to be the most epoch making battleship-voyage ever under taken. With decks stripped for action and gun crews at their stations the Oregon plowed around Cape Horn, tip the east coast of South America and arrived at Key West on May 26, ready j i for action, having made the 14,000 ; mile voyage In 68 cruising days. Cap- | tain C. E. Clark, the Oregon's com-j manding officer, was ordered to take . his ship to Santiago and there join the blockading squadron which was awaiting battle with the Spanish fleet. Making Their Fame In the meantime the lowa, Mass achusetts and Indiana, sister ships i of the Oregon, were attached to the I north Atlantic fleet and had already | arfived off Cuba, the Massachusetts j being part of the famous "flying ; squadron" under command of Com- | modore Schley. The Oregon, already famous j throughout the world for her glor ious and successful voyage to join j the American fleet in time for the im- j pending battle, gained greater glory | in the action off Santiago de Cuba [ on Sunday, July 3, 1898 when Spanish j sea power was forever humbled and j the liberation of the Philippines and ! Cuba assured. In that now historic j sea fight the Oregon ran the Vizcaya, j pride of the Spanish fleet ashore after j riddling the craft with hits from her eight and thirteen-inch gtins and then | engaged in a running fight with the j Colon which surrendered after having i been cut off from the open sea by the j Oregon and forced to head for the j beach. A shot at the-Colon from one j of the Oregon's thirteen-inch guns [ was the last shot fired during the j battle. Both the Indiana and the lowa par ticipated in the battle at Santiago, the Massachusetts, having gone to Guan tanamo to coal on the day of the engagement. The crew of the Mass achusetts, much disappointed at hav ing missed the fight, gained revenge ! the next night when that vessel and j the old battleship, Texas, engaged j and sunk the Spanish cruiser Reina j with Get-up*and*Get When you need that little extra spurt to take you around the car ahead, you know it's okeh to blow and then "step on it", if there's IMI Atlantic in the tank.

MaNHKcliUMettK Flag Ship The Massachusetts was .the flag ship of the naval vessels In charge of convoying American troops from Cuba to Porto Rico for the Porto Rtcun campaign. A few years ago the Texas, later tenanted the San Marcos, was used as a target for later battleships ut Tangier Sound in Chesapeake Bay. After the Spanish-Ameriean war the Oregon returned to the west coast where the glorious old ship, then in the height of her fame, was received with tremendous demonstra tions. She remained there on duty with the Pacific fleet until a decade ago, her usefulness gone, she was placed in reserve commission. The lowa, Massachusetts anil Indi ana participated In the homecoming of the victorious Atlantic fleet after ihe Spanish-American war and re mained on duty in home waters for many years. After the* Oregon had been placed In reserve the three sis ter ships were for several years used as training vessels and conveyed the midshipmen from the Naval Academy abroad each summer for a practice cruise. Finally they too were moored to tlie docks in navy yards, apparently to rust away. In Ihe meantime a later class of ships had been launched to add to the might of American naval power.
