BIGGEST LINER
TO SAIL SOON
'•Majestic," Taken Kroni Ger-
many Carries 5,000 People.
NEW YORK, May 5.—The popu-
lation of h small town could be
housed on board the world* won-
der liner, the Majestic, which Rail*
from England next week on her
maiden voyage to New York In di-
mensions she far outclasses the larg-
est steamships of the ^ast, such an
*Gi Olympic, the Aqultanla and the
Mauretanla.
The amazing site of the Majestic
may he Judged from the fact that
she will be able to carry over 6,000
people, including 4,100 passengers.
If reared alongside the Wool worth
building would overtop the flagstaff
by 164 feet.
Bigger Than Armada.
In every respect the Majeitic I*
floating palace. Her tonnage is 66,-
000, or almost as great as that of
the whole of the 13;' ships that com
posed the Spanish Armada. And tin-
space occupied by her cabins, state
rooms and engines is equal to that
of four hundred detached houses of
etght roome apiece.
Even the highest class hotel
surpassed by her magnificent ap-
poiutmenta. Apart from the huge
restaurant, lounge and library, there
In a swimming bath, cafes, tennis
courts, a flower conservatory, a hall-
room. card rooms and a winter gar-
den and stage. The swimming bath
will contain more than one hundred
and thirty tons of sea water, and
there are also Turkish and electric
baths.
^levators on Ship.
Electric lighting Is employed
throughout the great vessel. Ifileva-
tors, which run from keel to boat
deck have been installed, and there
is one in the engine room for the
use of the crew. An electric switch-
board controls the 15,000 lights and
ventilating fans. Then, too, there Is
a complete telephone system extend-
ing to every part of the vessel.
It will be an expensive matter to
run a ship of this size. The cost of
a round trip. It is estimated, will be
something like 1500,000. For each
voyage at least 150,000 pounds of
meat. 56,000 pounds of fish, 70,000
pounds of flour and 16.000 pounds of
sugar will be required.
Seventy Cooks.
In addition, the larder must in-
clude about 120,000 pounds of pota-
toes. 10,000 pounds of butter. 6,000
pounds of tea and coffee. 80,000 eggs,
5,000 gallons of milk, and an amaz-
ing amount of poultry, vegetables.
fruit and wines.
There are eight separate kitchens
with seventy cooks, twenty-five bak-
ers and fifteen butchers, while
"kosher" kitchens for Jewish travel-
ers will be available.
The new liner, despite her great
bulk, has proved herself one of the
fastest vessels afloat. Her glgantb
engines are capable of driving her
through the water nt a speed of
about 30 miles an hour, while in the
course of a voyage she will use about
5,700 tons of oil.

her, feeling a rising tide of exclte-

did we see the vital importance
which Lillian attached to the scrib-
bled words and figures.
i Through the open window the oc-
casional whir of a motor car, the
. clatter of a farm team, the voices
, of school children punctured the
i peace of the sleepy village. As far
• as outward seeming went we were
! leagues away from ugliness, sordid-
ness, crime, and yet I knew, without
understanding what it was all about,
that Lillian held in her hands the
symbols of a monstrous evil reptil-
lian something which was slimily
i crawling underneath the surface of
I our national life, waiting its chance
j to attempt the closing of Its colls.

j "You've dono something for your

though her voice was so low that it
could not have been beard outside
the room, there was that in its
timbre which rang iusplringly in
our ears. "I'm wild to get these
into the hands of the only man who
can handle them. Have you any-
thing else to tell us?"
"Nothing, except that Anton told
Joe to watch for a man with a motor
car who would pretend to be his
cousin, and who would come for him
when be was ready to leave the hos-
pital. He gave Joe this cousin's ad-
dress. commanded Joe to write when
he was permitted to leave, and also
asked if he thought the hospital au-
thorities would let him leave more
quickly if he took his nurse along.
There Is evidently no lack of money
in the people back of Joe and An-
I ton."
I "No. there isn't," Lillian comment-
ed. dryly. "What did Joe answer?"
Katherine laughed with a trace of
embarrassment.
Joe Declared emphatically that he

Joe after you leave the hospital with
him. It's going to be a risky busi-
ness going into the bouse where I
think I shall have to send you, but
there'll be at least one other govern-
ment operative in the bouse, and
others outside, so 1 think we'll be
able to reduce that risk to a mini-
mum."
"I fancy you know I'm rather used
to 'risks' of various kinds," Kather-
ine said quietly.
"Do 1 know it?" Lillian returned
empatically. "But that's no reason
why we shouldn't safeguard you in
every way possible, and we're going
to. Were you able to write down the
address of that phony cousin?"
"A Girl in a Thousand,"
"No, but I did a strenuous imita-
tion of Madge, and remembered It,"
Katherine replied. "My memory
isn't so bad on a little sprint. It's
on the century runs where Madge
shines that I puncture a tire. Here
It Is."
She repated a name and the ad-
dress of a New Jersey town distinct-
ly, as Lillian nodded to me.
"Get busy, Madge," she said, and
I accordingly concentrated on what
Katherine was repeating, soon had
the name and address tiled away se-
curely in my memory, and knew that
whenever they were needed I could
repeat them accurately.
"That's all I have to tell you,"
Katherine was saying as 1 finished,
and Lillian moved decisively toward
the door as she spoke.
"Then Madge and I will lose no
time getting home."' she said. "You
must have Dr. Pettit take you back
to the hospital on the double-quick,
also. And I don't need to tell you to
keep a sharp lookout and to let me
know at once whatever you hear.
You're a girl In a thousand, Kath-
erine Blckett, and I don't care who
hears me telling you."
I knew that the half-mocking
words were praise Indeed from Lil-
lian, saw Katherine's face flush with
pleasure as she listened. And then,
Lillian, drawing me with her, hur-
ried through the door and down the
steps to the car.
"Step on her. Madge." she com-
manded. "I'm mighty anxious to get
home and have another little confab
with dear Katie."

and Industrial activity the better it

Britten continued:

"France should cease the wasteful
and extravagant measures of keeping
armed forces in the Rblneland. I
predict that no world industrial pros-
perity will be possible until Europe
is made economically sound. This
can be done only by general disarma-
ment. an agreement to keep peace,
and the return of the rapn-power of
industrial pursuits.
"The more light that is thrown on
Germany's financial and industrial
capabilities at the Genoa conference,
the better it will be for all parties
concerned. France should realist

"These thlnm having been done,
every one will benefit, as the re-
moval of all troops in the Rhlneland,
in accordance with my resolution
now pending in the committee of for-
eign affairs, means that German pay-
ments of approximately $100,000,000
a year can be aplled to payment of
reparations instead of going to un-
necessary and unproductive military
waste for which there is not the
slightest excuse."

W. J. Bryan, demolishing Darwin's'
evolution theory, and proving that
all the science you need is to be
found in the Bible, has overwelmerl
doubting professor with two ques-
tions :
Number 1. "Are you willing
to put in writing a statement
that you believe that you are the
descendent of an ape?"
Number 2. "Do you believe in
the miracles as reported in the
Old and New Testaments? '
Darwin never said or wrote that,
men were descended from monkeys.
Concerning miracles, what would be
I Mr. Aryan's explanation of the in-
teresting events that followed
Joshua's command:
"Sun. stand thou still upon Gideon,
and thou, Moon, in the Valley of
Avalon." We know what happened,
for it Is written in Mr. Bryan's text-
hook of science:
"So the sun stood still in the
1 midst of heaven, and hasted not to
uo down about a whole day."
Not to be outdone by the Sun, "the
Moon stayed, until the people had
avenged themselves upon their ene-
mies-for the Lord fouglit for Is-
rael."
The moon goes around the earth,
the earth goes around the sun at
least, that is the modern theory,
which Mr. Bryan probably considers
ungodly. Why not let religion and
science go their separate ways and
avoid unnecessary ridicule?

meteorites, more probably, as the
text indicates, enormous hailstones.
All that is far more interesting
reading than anything in Darwin,
except perhaps his book on the ex-
pression of the emotions. Let's hope
Mr. Bryan never reads that, it
might give him apoplexy, for it pre-
tends to show that babies learned to
say Mama, reaching out with their

"Prove all things, hold fast that

ing "Raca" to the Darwinians, let
him beware.

Wandering from Bryan. Darwin,

modern make, you learn from a
Canadian interesting, prosaic solid
facts that, of course, will not shake
the belief of any good spiritualist,
just as no science could possibly
shake the Innocent beliefs of Mr.
Bryan.
t'onan Doyle specializes in ghosts
and shows photographs of spirits,
one with a bullet hole in the temple.
He guarantees them genuine. And
although it is outside his specialty,
he tells of "two little girls" that
took photographs of fairies. Neither
of the "little" girls, says he, knew
anything about photography.
The Canadian reveals the fact that
of the two "little girl" photograph-
ers, one seventeen years old, is the
expert assistant of a professional
photographer. The photographs of
fairies were not doctored in any way.
and did not need doctoring. They
were pictures of life-like toys, photo-
graphed among the pretty wild flow«
ers.
What a wonderful lecturing team
would be "Bryan and Doyle." Mr.
Bryan lecturing on old fashioned
belief. Conan Doyle following with
a convincing talk with spook
photographs - on up-to-the-minute
ghosts, both winding up with "Down
