A mu idled Press, D it pat eh
Washington, Jan. 28..—Naval
ports figure it will require an
nual naval appropriation of $200,-
000,000 instead of the present av-
erage of 1140,000,000 if congress
decides to add to the present type
Of American naval vessels a suitable
proportion of "hattle cruisers” such
as have played so prominent a part
in the recent naval engagements In
European and South American wat-
ers. This estimate is based on the
theory that there will be no inter-
ruption in the permanent plan of
naval Increase which contemplates
the addition of two dreadnoughts
each year.
If the naval experts were requir-
ed to choose between building dread-
noughts or battle cruisers, they un-
hesitatingly would turn to the
dreadnought type and It Is stated
by prominent officials nothing yet
has occurred in the naval battles of
the present war to change their or-
iginal belief regarding the superior-
ity of the dreadnought type. They
are quite willing to accept a proper
proportion of battle cruisers, but
insist that the first requisite is the
completion of the plan whereby the
navy is to possess forty eight (481
dreadnoughts. Any attempt to inter-
fere with the steady and constant
addition of these latter types to jthe
jjmvy would, it is stated, be strongly
JFwlated by the naval of-
iiclals unleSfc the additions
were over and over the allowance
made for the execution of
the general plan fot a dreadnought
fdr every state of the union.
Admitting the advantage of high
speed possessed by the battle crjflhLrorl

Now that the Sherman Baseball
association has been organized, with
plenty of capital behind it and a
board of directors composed of
leading business of the city, there is
no question but that Sherman’s
berth In the Western Baseball as-
sociation will be filled up to the
handle.
, The signing of ••Ufed ’ Ritter by
President Murphy meets with the
approval of not only the stockhold
ers of the association but also of
the fans, and as John. Arnold ts
wont to say "w» h tfre boys, who
flip the quarters Into the box office
in exchange for pasteboard.”
Of course, there is always some
complaint no rna ter how hard peo-
ple strive to do the proper thing.
For Instance some of the fans ex-
press regret that the committee . of
three who were selected to present
the names o! the men to serve on
the board of direcors did not name
John Arnold as one of them. Mr.
Arnold has worked iu time and out
of time for the success of the pres-
ent movement and it Is pointed
out that be virtually resurrected
baseball in Sherman from the dead
and this recognition at least should
have been accorded hint. However,
as Mr. Arnold is not kicking in all
probability no one else has a right
to. But he knows the game, has
played it and has led all Sherman
tans in enthusiasm for the great na-
tional sport. He will be on baud’1
ju?v. the same as if he had had ,all
sorts of recognition and will aiyiays
be found rooting for Sherman.
“Dad” ltk-ter stated today that he
will at once set out to sign up a
winning team. He Is very much in
hope that Sherman will stand back
of him In his efforts to get his old
Texarkana T.-O. team, which Is now
owned by Snneveport. As the mat-
ter now stands it will take some-
ihing line $1,000 to get this team.
Of course, It is possible that they
will be released by Saturday or Sun-
day in which event they will be free
agents, but It Is not at all probable
that this will happen.
■ If they become free ■agents they
can sign where they want to- and
every club In the Western Associa-
tion, will want sosne of them. •‘Dad”
Ritter will be right thero on the
spot and be after thorn. for he has
orked with them and knows them.

factors in the fourfold advance was
then taken up for separate consider-
ation1^ the workers.
The plan for the membership in-
crease embraces the enlisting of the
children in the Sunday school at as
early an age as possible, the
bringing bark of lapsed members,
and the in’ereating of those outside
the organization who profess no in-
terest in any church or Sunday
school. Art earnest endeavor along
these lines could not" fail, it was

places like 1Akt'»uan, Denison, etc.,
there are thoroughly organized Su i-.
day schools with well working and
well organized and otfice-ed depart-

many of the Sunday schools was far
from ideal and an earnest effort to
bring -he.se schools in line, and per-

and appreciable impetus to the ad-

The question of training the lead

men showed the conference that al-

Dr. J. F. Fender of Wlii.’e.wright
discussed the plan embraced by
Sunday school evangelism. He
pointed out that the Sunday school
by reaching out and bringing into
the church the children and young
people, could do some of the best
and most far-roaching work in,
spreading Christ’s kingdom among
men. .
The evening session was presided
over by C. D. Buckihan, superinten-
dent of the Denison Sunday school..
After the devotional sendee, led bv
Mr; Buekman, the gathering . was
addressed b’v Atwood A. Hyde of
Sherman, secrettrrY" of the Christian
Endeavor Union, on the subject of
the Christian Endeavor ia the Paris
Presbytery.
Mr. Hyd‘> reported that there
were nine Christian Endeavor organ-
izations in the Presbytery and all
of them live and vigorous societies
and that they were giving invaluable
aid in the work of the Lord. Yet
fhe pointed out that there was a
great field for extension in this
line of work as there are fifty-one
churches in t ne Presbytery and
these nine organizations should be
inc^pased until there was a live and
vigorous Endeavor in every church
hi the presbytery.
Dr. J. A. Hornbeak next address-
ed tl ml to in g on the next thing
for the Paris presbyter :. . o
Dr. Hornbeak said that he was
■not a lecturer but a scout for tho
Lord, and had been for forty years,
lacking one. ' He told them that he
could no* fell them what his subject
called for, The Next Things for tho
Paris Presbytery, but he could men-
tion a few of the Next Things that
should receive attention, He called
attention to Mr. Hyde’s report, on
the Chrfalun Endeavor in the Pres-
bytery—nine Christian Endeavors,
ami fill y-one churches. One of the
greater* things t it the presbytery
could do would be to fill up the gap.
-Fr. Hornbeak farther said that he
did not believe that they could find
a better man for the work than Mr.
Hyde and he hoped tlia.* it would be
possible to enlist him in the wont.
Another tiling that the Presby-
tery could take up with profit would
be the energetic farthering of the
olan of the fourfold advance in
Sunday schools. The Sundav school
work ts one of t Jo greatest in which
the church is- engaged and such an
Impov'ant move toward the en-
largement of this work could not
fall to be immensely profitable to
the church.
Another great thing that the pres-
bytery could do would he the or-
ganization of a co-opera#ivp evangel
I—. —t similar to thb one
alias presbytery last
» was for every church
’ art or lor two weeks.
