WASHINGTON, D. C Aug. 10.
What is the secret of the wonderful
spirit of the American navy which
electrified England when she saw
our destroyer fleet keen to start the
U-boat hunt after a grilling race
across the Atlantic t
It is team work, built-up by years
of co-operation between officers and
men.
Admiral W. S. Sims, commanding
our ships in European waters, is
largely responsible for the develop
ment of this spirit. Here is his
.statement of principles and "rules of
Wie game" which lie drills into his
subordinates:
Tenm Work Essential.
"War is a vitally important game
of one team against another, and if
your team is not adequately trained
it will suffer defeat.
"The basis of team work is Ipyulty
and initiative. To promote these:
"1. Always lot your general mis
sion lie understood. The American is
always willing to co-operate when
his. intelligence is enlisted.
"2. Invite suggestions and con
sider them carefully. Hold confer
ences. ".'). Make use of competitions.
"4. Be sure you know thoroly the
subjects of nil your instructions.
Knowledge of your job commands
respect.
"15, Encourage your men to come
to you for. information and take
pains to supply it.
Train in Initiative,
"(i. Train your men in initiative
by "putting it up to them" on proper
,j;ccnsions and explain why you do it.
"7. When you have inspired loy
alty in all your men more than half
your troubles will be over, for there
after initiative will give it intelligent
direction and adequate opportunity.
"8. Maintain discipline with mini
mum reference to higher authority.
Always be considerate of inexperi
ence. "9. , Never destroy or decrease a
man's self -respect- by humiliating
him.
"10. Do not let the state of your
liver influence your attitude toward
your men.
"11. Remember the purpose of
punishment is correction : never let
. the spirit of revenge enter.
"12. Avoid, ns you would the
plague, hostile criticism of authority
or even facetious or thoughtless crit-
icism with no hostile intent."
BELIEVED 10 BE LOST
TACOMA, Aug. 10. The British
steunier Erlesburgh, which sailed
from this port June 30 with a cargo
of flour for Havre, is believed by lo
cal shipping men to have been lost.
No report of the vessel passing thru
the Panama canal has ever been re
ceived. In this connection it is re
called by waterfront men that one of
the sailors signed on the Erlesburgh
was reported, after the vessel left,
to have been n German from one of
the interned ships in South American
waters and an attempt was mado to
wireless a warning to the Erles
burgh. British Vice Consul Agassi
admitted today of having notified of
the presence of a German on the
Erlesburgh, and he had wired his in
formation to the embassy at ash

NEW YORK, Aug. 10. Express
ing confidence In the soundness of
the chartecter of the Russian people
for self-government, Elihu Root, head
of the special diplomatic mission to
Russia, in two addresses here last
night at this city's official reception
to the mission denounced the part
played In that country during its time
of peril by "men corresponding to the
I. W. W. here, the extreme socialists
and anarchists with whom the Ger
man agents made common cause."
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who
also spoke, at the meetings, first at
the 'city hall and then at the cham
ber of commerce, likewise declared
that "organizations like the I. W. W.
are criminally aiding German propa
ganda in this country," adding:
"Let us make those who oppose ob
stacles to the success of the war feel
that they are unhung traitors."
He further said that "until the
United States has placed five million
men In the fighting line, we will have
no right to consider .ourselves as
standing level with Canada In this
fight for democracy," and advocated
the putting of American soldiers "in
masses on whichever front vhey are
most needed."
In an address at the Union League
club, Mr. Root declared there are
"still some Americans who do not
quite understand why we are fight
ing.
"If they did," he said, "these pro
Gorman traitors who are selling out
our country, who are endeavoring by
poposltioii' and obstruction in con
gress to make our preparation for the
war ineffective, would be suppressed.
"Thore are men walking about in
this city tonight who ought to be tak
en out and shot at sunrise. Under
stand, it is only a question of time un
til they will meet this fate."
MADRID, Aug. 10. Premier Dato

the public opinion and he believed
that order would be rapidly restored.

TOKIO, Japan, Aug. 10 The
downfall of Buddhism in Asia iw pre
dicted by critics here.
A crisis in the affairs of this world
old spiritual' organization seems im
minent. Charges of scandal amoug the
priests of the Hongwnnji, one of the
ancient Buddhistic sects. have
aroused historical scribes to unus
ual activity, and a furore of written
discussion on the merits and demer
its of the order is now in progress.
Tukashirau , Beiho, Buddhist
writer, strongly urges the removal of
the administrative headquarters of
the Hongwanji from Kyoto to
Tokyo.
"A determined effort should be
made," he says, "to restore the credit
of the Hongwanji, which has fallen
so low. At such a limo like the
present, when morality is so much
neglected, the Buddhists, as spiritual
leaders of the people, ought to do
their utmost to bring about reforms
both among individuals and the na
tion.
"The importance of the mission of
Buddhism has been forgotten by the
quarreling priests."
"In Japan the tendency, ns in Eu
rope and America," says another
writer, "is away from churches and
creeds, which have lost their power
of influence and attraction. Only by
Buddhists outside the ranks of the
priesthood organizing a strong and
powerful movement, und taking the
affairs of .the Hongwanji into their
own hands, is there, likely to he nny
improvement in conditions which
have become an open scandal in this
country."
Reviewing ancient history in which
a policy of military - flight fulness
and the slaughter of women and chil
dren are mentioned, the critics refer
to more recent times for their chief
instances of scandal.

Governor Ernest Lister has issued u
proclamation appealing for an eight
hour day in the lumber industry of
the state, which has been crippled be
cause of strikes. Need of the indus
try in government war work is the.
reason given for the proclamation. H
is believed here this is tho first time
a governor has ever issued a proc
lamation for nil eight -hour day.
The governor said the appeal was
a duty because the state council of
defense, the national council of de
fense, thru Secretary of War linker
and citizens had failed to el'.d the
strike. The governor asked that the
eight-hour day be established on the
basis of nine hours' pay with time
and a half for overtime, if the mills

Fuilure to appear for physical ex

If a man does not npear before
his local hoard when culled unless
he applies by reason of absence from
his district to have his' examination
transferred to another board, or enn
give n very good reason why he was
unable to appear his name will bo

only one, to clear his record.'
