The Naval Advisory Board appointed by Secretary'
Daniels represents American talent and patriotism at
their best, says the Walla Walla Bulletin. These men,
standing at the head of their professions, are riving their
best thought and effort to the nation without any ex
pectation of reward save public appreciation. And even watching political straws

That Pennsylvanian who did not know petroleum when
for 20 years he was trying to get rid of it as a nuisance
was not destined for success in petroleum producing.
A large part of opportunity lies in preparation. The
mind must be fitted to meet it.
Few indeed are the men, Americans at least, who have
never felt an irresistable impulse to forge ahead, to be

amounts to seven thousand millions of dollars and is in
creasing at the rate of seventeen millions a day. France's !
war debt is four thousand five hundred millions, Prussia's!
