Annapolis where be left, the
British fleet of which he Is
rear Admiral, by rear Admi
ral RobJejrEvans. As a rela
tive by marriage to the king
of England he will be enter
tained in royal fashion both
at the Embassy here and toy
the President. He waft met by
thi Brftlsh Ambassador and
a Relegation of Americans
representing the Army, Na-
y nnd the departments. AN

his snite and was presented
to tne President and Mrs.
Roosevelt the Vice President
and Mrs. Fairbanks and to
all the cabinet members who
were alno present with their
families. The meeting be
tweeu the President and the
Piince was characterized by
heartiness and simplicity.
When the presentations bad
been made tbey chatted in
formally discussing the voy
agp of the Prince who spoke
of his pleasure at his recep
tion here and his admirtion
of the Capital.
The smartest affair of his
entertainment here was the
reception and dance given
for him at the British Em
bassy last night. ;. The house
is an elegant one situated
on Connecticut Avenue the
main artery of the fashiona
ble pert of the city. It has re
cently been refurnished and
redecorated by Sir Mortimer
dnrnnd. the present Arnbas

in a number of years has
been the scene of some enjoy
able thnneh very exclusive
social affairs, Mias Dnrand,

sador, is a charming girl

horsewoman in the city. It
Is probably due to her incli

rather depressing mansion

of officers of the Army and
Navy and of officials in civil
life besides the diplomats who
were necessarily among the
tnyited that there was but a
sprinkling of the "merely"
rich or, fashionable. . Today
the Prince will be busy. He
will drive about the city and

be entertained jit luncheon
at the Wew WIIlard by Lieut.
General Chane. Id the after

an idea of the exoert hore
manship of the troops there.
In the afternoon another re-
ception and io the eyenlng a
dinner at the White House.
Sunday will be scarcely less
strenuous for there seems tc
be an unwritten law that a
guest of - such distinctions
mast not be permitted n n y
time for rest or relaxation
and Monday be will leave a-
gain for Annapolis and pro
reed with his fiet to New
York where society is lying in
wait for him.
The Prince is a handsome
man of middle age and his
manner, has been so demo
cratic and unassuming that
he has received the warmest
welcome everywhere. At the
reception given him by Gov
ernor WarfHd in the Execu
tive mansion he placed every
one at ease by his simple and
hearty appreciation of every
thing American. He request
ed Mrs. Warneldtosbowhim
the house and when she had
done so he thanked her and
saiu, "it is cnarming, so
home like and cozy. It is just
the kind of a house I like to
live in." When the Governor
returned his visit he took
him to his private cabin on
the war ship, the Drake, and
showed him the picture of
uis.wue ana cnuaren ana
spoke of the pleasures of a
quiet home life
The fleet that accompanies
him lis off Annapolis and
constitute as fine a display
of war vessels as one could
wish to see. . Iu addition to
the British and American
squadrons anchored there,
tbers is a line of torpedo
boats, the prison Ship Sante
and several Government ten
ders.
" Were the country sudden
ly plunged into war the Na
vy would find half Itself in no
condition to win battles."
This is the unequivocal state
ment of Rear Admiral C. W.
Rae, Engineer in Chief of the
United States Navy in his
annual report. The need for
a special training for a body
of men to become eugineers
in the navy was urged in
these columns but a week or
so ago. Tnat tbe navy is
crippled for tbe want . of en
gineers is well known in the
Department but the official
utterances of the Engineer in
Chief of tbe Navy, calls it to
the attentioa of the public.
The Personnel bill passed by
Congress is renponsible for
the lack of trained e n g i n-
eers, tor by merging ine
corps of engineers into the
line of the Nay the whole
corps of specialists was abol
isbed and their duties trans
ferred to the line. For three
years nothing has been done
by tbe youuger lineofoffi-
cers in quamying specially
for engineering and Admiral
Rae asserts that the situa
tion is alarming. He propo
ses a plan for quickly supply
ing the Navy with engineers,
which provides that all the
young officers must be given
engineering duty and to rank
engineering iu the examina
tion with seamanship, navi
gation and gunnery. It fur
ther provides for engineering
specialists whose duty shall
be engineering and who shall
not perioral sea duty after
reaching the grade of com
mander. , t. What ; a welcome
such a proposition will re
ceive in the Navy Depart
ment is not hard to 'guess.
This departmennt - m o r e
than any other is fossilized
and though in Naval affairs
progress means constant
change, the Navy Depart
ment regards with odiom any
effort to introduce new ideas
or customs.
As a result of the recent in
yea tiga tion in thi Agricultu
r a I .Department Secretary
Wilson ha 8 issued two offi
cial orders with a view to pre
venting the repetion of the
scandals. The first provides
that employees shall not
have any connection with
firms, corporations or com
panies from whom the De
partment buys or to whom
it awards contracts, but it
is the secoud that is causing
jamentarion among the em
ployes. It provides that no
officer shall perform or be en
gaged upon work for other
companies or institutions. It
has been tbe custom of a
great number of employees
to engage in outside work
which their connection with
tbe Governmentwork, the
information and materialsit
furnished and the special
training it afforded made
possible and which frequent
ly doubted tbe salary p a i"d
by the government was ac
cepted as a matter of course.
i tie new rule will cut this
out and reduce the income of
a large number.

To live and receive God's
countless blessings, day by
day, and; year by year
should call forth constant e
motions of love and grati
tude from the heart and
thanksgiving from the lips.
He who is ungrateful is vi
cious in heart. He has no ap
preciation of the good provi
dence of God, and is content
to live on a moral plane low
er even than that occupied
by tbe brute, which often
times does seem to appreci
ate what is done for its com
fort.
In tbe revolution of anoth
er year our people have been
called by the Chief Executive
of our nation to assemble in
their places of woisblp and
publicly' render our thanks
to God for bis loving remem
brauce of us, and for his boun
teous supply of our wants
It is peculiarly appropriate
that we should in accordance
with this devout suggestion
make 1 pnblic expression of
our respect t and regard for
God, and of ournopreciation
of His great'goodness.
mis nas for many years
been a national custom with
us, and Thanksgiving Day
has become one of t b e few
days kuown as national bol
idays, when ordinary busi
ness ceases to be transacted
and people turn to other
thoughts nnd occupations
for the day. Many observe
the day religiously, as it
should be observed. Too ma
ny take the day, however,
as a time for mere secular en
a ' .
loymenr, games, visiting, re
creation and pleasure seek
ing in general, unmindful ot
the real meaning nnd inten
tion of the occasion. But in
spite of the secular spirit
which asseris itself, there is
tbe u n i v e r s a I conscience
through the nation, that the
day is meant for thanksgiv
ing to God, and that there is
a call to religious thought
and expression.
If it is right for the individ
ual to be, grateful in heart
and thankful speech it is al
so right that tbe nation
to be, for the nation is hut
tbe aggregation of tbe many
individuals whose interests
and lives lie iu I he same great
plane. It has been raid that
the corporations have no
souls. This has been main
tained by those who wish to
he free from responsibility
for many actions and cours
es which they would n 0 t
dare not to be responsible
for as individuals. , But the
assumption i s monstrous.
Corporations are made up of
men who are responsible to
God individually, nnd men
cannot escape tbe moral re
sponsibility for wicked and
dishonest courses by simply
joining hand and hand.
Nations are but bodies of
' ,
men, eacn one 01 wnoni is
responsible to God, and each
at a I .1
one or wnom is enoweren
with blessings from the in
dulgent hand of the heaven
ly Father. Nations must not
be secular and irreligious and
godless. They must live in
accordance with the divine
aws. or they must pay tbe
pio<v. Our own nation has
religious antecedent and la
beritance. ' We are under ths
influence of Christian teach
ings as few nations ever have
been. Many millions of our
people possess an individual

We should be christian fa
our life, our conduct and our ,

formal thing, then, for us to
observe this Thanksgiving
Day. Let us do it with deep
religious feeling. Let us seek
God'- continued favor, and
thank him for his goodness

Bladder troubles almost always result
from a derangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained Quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If yon are feel

taking Dr. Kilmer's 5wamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through tbe day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary ;

It stands tbe highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
