Twice that many outsiders are in the city in all, it is estimated by those.in charge of arrange- ments for the big convention, Do you realize what that means? “Never in the history of all Shrinedom has a city received and entertained the imperial council so royally,” says Frederick R. Smith, the imperial potentate. : The highest official of the Shriners is en- thusiastic over our city. “You are going to send every visitor away boosting your town,” he says. SIXTY THOUSAND PERSONS, ALL PROM- INENT IN THEIR VARIOUS COMMUNITIES THRUOUT THE UNITED STATES, BOOSTING FOR SEATTLE! THAT’S WHAT IT MEANS. So be good to ’em, folks! TOO ALMIGHTY QUIET RED NEWELL, “father of the reclamation serv- ice,” who has for years borne a reputation as one of the best and brainiest men in the interior department, has been ‘quietly shelved,” as Gilson Gardner puts it. Well, let’s knock the “quiet” out of it. We demand that Secretary Lane explain why such a man has been shelved. Looks like dirty politics, Mr, Lane, but what is it? SUBMARINES, CARGOES of ammunition, trunks full of dynamite—travel to Europe must be a dream, nowadays “Speaking for myself | should like to see 250,000 Chinese come now to the United States. We need them to do our work. Our own native young men are now indignant at the suggestion that they perform manual labor.” “China has solved probleme we have not even attempted to solve—the problem, among others, of living on 10 or 12 cents a day.”—Extracts from a recent address by J. J. Hill, A LITTLE BIT OF MOST ANYTHING le 'STAR—WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1915. GET PLENTY OF THEM I’S real good news, if the report emanating from Washington is true, that the naval con- struction program which will be submitted to the next congress will call for the immediate building of a submiarine fleet equal to Germany’s, or ap- proximately 52 new submarines. The naval oper- ations thus far in the European war have demon- strated the effectiveness of the submarine while, to a certain extent, belittling the dreadnaught. We of the United States, after having witnessed the old world throw off the mask of civilization and revert to type, will feel uneasy, to say the least, until we are convinced that our country’s security rests not in paper defenses alone. To set the public mind at rest a lot of naval constructing must be done, and that very quickly. If we are ever to be assailed, it will be within the next few years, quite likely, before the taste of blood has been forgotten by Europe in renewed commercial activities, and while its armies and navies are still in training, as it were. A battleship building program upon a large scale, undoubtedly would take years to complete, and the dreadnaught by then would possibly be superseded by some newly devised naval war en- gine. But a fleet of submarines can be built in a very short time and at a fraction of the cost. ” For coast defense, for which purpose only we trust they would be needed, if at all, the sub- marine is supreme. With a great fleet of these vessels, as modren as those of any nation, we would feel fairly safe from danger of invasion. By all means, let’s have them and let's build them in Uncle Sam's own workshops. And at the same time the sixty odd submarines we have “TOWN SHOPPIN’ Wiy ABS OLIVIA - SOLE Be HOME RIGHT Soon i RecKon NOTHIN’ DOIN” STELLA, YOU DONT GET mE ON THAT GAS Bike NOSIREE. || amvisr’ Hore ——— WE PROMISED TO CONTINUE THIS srr TO-DAY, SO HERE iT 161) Bertha Brighteye’s Decision, o GOODNIGHT! | BE MINE!

Then, and not until then, will the people of the United States, even the extreme peace advocates, regain that sense of security essential to whole-hearted effort at the commercial world supremacy which we should attain: before the effects of the European war have worn off. AN ANCIENT NAME IS FLANDERS EDITOR THE STAR: | sometimes read about Flanders In the war reports from Europe, What country or territory Is meant by Flanders? Does It refer to Belgium? Will you tell me some thing about It? TERESA M Way back in the ninth century that territory that extends along the North sea from the Strait of Dover to the River Scheldt was known as Flan- ders, It was ruled by France, but its government was directed by the counts of Flanders, who were famous for their wealth and political power. In 1529, when Flanders was freed from homage to France, part of the country was claimed by Bel- gium, and part was acquired by France; the re- mainder became part of the Austrian Netherlands. When the new kingdom of Belgium was formed this latter portion was divided into what is now known as East Flanders and West Flanders. The cities of Bruges, Ypres and Ostend are located in West Flanders. Ghent Is the capital of East Flanders. When you read about Flanders in the war reports it’s doubtless these Belgian provinces that are referred to, tho both Belgium and Holland, which were both part of the ancient Flemish principality, are ders. .

The conversion of this small p is not worth while, and Mr. Bryan’s mission seems to be to preach at people beliefs they already possess. It looks like superfluous labor by a man whose high character and high talent might move things that need moving. WHISKY! HISKY is a good thing in its place.
