Gen. Miles Opinion Anent the
New Canadian Vessels.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2i.-t'lf Canada has
built and armed three vessels for serv-
ice on the lakes, as described by the
officers of the revenue marine service
at Washington, it amounts to declara-
ton of war;" said Maj. Gen. Nelson A.
Miles today, abiding 10 the report that
the dominion has increased its armed
force on the great lakes. ~ do not
want to be quoted as saying that Canada
or Great Britain means war;" said Gen.
Miles. 1.-THE fact is, though, that these
three vessels are In direct violation of
the treaty of 1917, which limits the war
vessels that either our government or
Great Britain can maintain on the lakes
to certain number, and limits their gun
power. The action of the Canadian
authorities in building the three
vessels described by the Of
ficer of the revenue marine
service violates the treaty in both par
ticulars. England can send large
fleet of light draught war vessels up the
st. Lawrence river into the great lakes,
which could burn every town from Du-
luth to Detroit. and the singular thing
is that the United States could DO
scarcely anything by way of defense. so
far as doing battle on the water is con
cerned; for, while we have some light
draught warships that could get through
the canal, we could not get them to the
upper lakes, for the reason that they
would have to pass through British
possessions, and that Canada or Great
Britain would not allow"

She said nothing more tender then, being

'eThat is joke, dear; his people would
never let him marry a little penniless chit

Lizina shook her head sagely with little
proud smile.
"He will not mind his people He will

in his eyes she was only little child still.
"Why, baby, you speak like a wsomanp'
he said stupidity. 81 am glad this lad goes

He wished to say all this, but the words
choked him in his throat. 1t seemed so
cruel to set before the child the harsh, mean
demands of life, the merciless rules and
habits of that narrow world of theirs, which
was bounded by the river and the sand on
one side, and the cornfelds and orchards on
the other.

He thought of his little girl, safe and
happy for her lifetime in that pleasant and

beautiful and impossible. 1t hurt him to
look on it, as the sun dazes the eyes at
