Oh, just beyond the fairest thoughts that throng WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS Francisco de la Barra A new honor has just come to Mexico's most distinguished living diplomat — Francisco de la Barra. He has beep invited to mediate between the governments of Greece and Bulgaria, and will sail to Europe shortly on this mission. De la Barra is well known in the United States. He served for two years—1909-1911—as ambassador at Washington, where he distinguished himself not only by his diplomatic skill, but by his courtly manners and polished English. De la Barra was born in the city of Mexico on June 16, 1863, the son of a distinguished Chilian soldier who had fought gallantly for Mexico during the French interference. The son was educated in the law at the College of the City of Mexico, and after serving in the Mexican congress from 1891 to 1896, devoted himself to diplomacy. For the first ten years of this career he gave most of his attention to the negotiations of treaties. In 1901 and 1906 he was Mexican delegate to the Pan-American congresses, and in 1907 represented her at the peace conference at The Hague. In 1907 De la Barra was made minister to the South American republics along the Atlantic, and in 1908 was made minister to Holland and Belgium. He was at that post when he became ambassador to the United States.

Oh, just beyond the fairest thoughts that throng This breast, the thought of thee waits hidden yet bright; But it must never, never come in sight; I must stop short of thee the whole day long. But when sleep comes to close each difficult day, When night gives pause to the long watch I keep, And all my bonds I needs must loose apart, Must doff my will as raiment laid away, With the first dream that comes with the first sleep I run, I run, I am gather'd to thy heart. —Alice Meynell CROSS EYES CORRECTED THIS MUSCULAR DEFECT CORRECED AND STRAIN RELEIVED BY PROPERLY ADJUSTED GLASSES.

Patrick, chief of the army air service, in a review of recent bombing tests off Cape Hatteras, makes some observations of interest and value. His comment ought to silence all push button warriors who contend that aircraft have rendered the battleship obsolete, and who would therefore scrap the navy and put our dependence entirely upon a vast fleet or airships. This conclusion is inevitable in spite of the general's statement that under proper conditions, the air service can put out of commission or sink any naval craft that floats. Analyzed, that statement means nothing, or more precisely, it means that the air service can sink any naval vessel that it can sink. The joker in such a statement is in the "under proper conditions." Such proper conditions must mean conditions under which the attacking airships can come within practicable striking distance with a minimum of danger or disturbance to themselves. Such conditions can never exist in war when the naval vessel to be attacked would be able to defend itself with smoke screens, anti-aircraft guns, and auxiliary planes fighting off the attackers. Such facts weaken the general's broad statement. His specific conclusions, however, are still valid. He declares the sinking of the New Jersey and the Virginia by bombing planes has proved our flyers' ability to hit such targets, if undisturbed, from a height of more than 10,000 feet. It is clear that that makes airplanes an important factor in any future naval warfare. At the same time it makes clear that the navy must have adequate air forces as auxiliaries both for attack and defense. In that point is the weight of the whole discussion. The bombing tests proved, among other things, that the air service is insufficiently manned and equipped. To insure the safety of our fleet, and of the country, we must have more and better airplanes. That is not because battleships have been proven obsolete but because the machinery of war has been proven to be steadily expanding. General Patrick sums up the need in an appeal to the next Congress: "We must have an air service highly trained and absolutely efficient. Without it we are inviting a national disaster."

Now and then a filly creeps, Through her feet have moved by leaps, Just an inch before the pack. But the others force her back Ere the lead be kept too long. It's a contest for the strong. Now the course is almost run; Now the race is almost done. From the bunch a horse leaps out. Listen to the rising shout! Wild excitement on each face Marks the closing of the race. Every eye with joy is keen. At the spectacle they'd seen. But my heart is sad and blue And I know not what to do. For the horse I wagered on As a winner hadn't gone. —William Manners Scientists tell us that, in time, the American race will average six feet in height.
