The Race for N.v., Supremacy.

Inc mace Tor Naval Supremacy.
The amount of naval construction
now actually in progress in the chief
nations of Europe is without precedent.
English supremacy upon the sea is
not yet contested, but it is threatened
by possible combinations. Formerly,
it was maxim of English statesman
ship that the English feet must be as
strong as all other fleets combined.
Later, it was held that the English feet
must at least be superior to the com
bined strength of the two next strong
est. Eight years ago, parliamentary
paper required a superiority OF thirty
three per cent over the combined
French and Russian battle-ships. But
both France and Russia have pushed
the building of ships so rapidly that
this standard is not now reached.
During the last three years England
has built seven battle-ships. while
France and Russia together have built
eleven. Last summer France and Rus
sia together had fourteen battle-ships
building, while England had but
twelve.
Germany, another rival of England.
is also pushing naval construction
rapidly. She is spending now about
twice as much money annually In this
way as she did seven or eight years
ago. and the emperor recently astound-
ed the reichstag by presenting. through
his secretary of state for the navy,
plan which contemplated an outlay OF
about eighty million dollars for the
next three years. The reichstag dis
approved the plan, though it made pro-
vision for some new construction. Ger
many has now twenty-one battle-ships
and seven protected cruisers. and IN
addition three battle-ships and seven
armored or protected cruisers are build
ing.
In case of war, England must retain
vessels to defend herself against pos
sible invasion. and she has scattered
colonies and a worldwide commerce
to protect. She cannot therefore rely
upon all her fleet for active operations.
It is of vital importance to all the
material interests of England that she
remain 1.-The mistress of the seas" For
that reason. the heaviest burdens for
naval construction and equipment are
cheerfully borne. This years estimates
for new construction, for example.
amount to more than one hundred mil
lion dollars. and the vessels to be I'm

dress themselves and their daughters
without calling In extraneous aid? II
seems such a simple thing to do. es-
pecially In these days when the most
reliable patterns of the latest fashions
may be had almost for the asking, and
materials cost next to nothing.
In the first place. the trade mark, as
it were, is wanting in amateur work.
A dressmaker does everything by rule
and rote. but this want of technical
knowledge could be easily rectified
either by taking the trouble to learn
the trade. which is taught in compare
lively few lessons. or by copying in de-
tail the construction of gown from a
good dressmaker's. Finish" is also
one of the great essentials in which
professionals score to advantage. Take
the wrist of an amateurs sleeve. for
instance. and that Of a professional Of
good reputation.

AS Alexander 1 will reign,
And 1 will reign alone.
Ny thoughts did evermore disdain
A rival on my throne.
He either fears his fate too much.
Or his deserts are small,
Who dares not put it to the touch.
To gain or lose 1t all.
But will reign and govern still.
And always give the Law,
And have each subject at my Wills
And all to stand in awe:
But 'gainst my batteries II find
Thou storm or vex me sore.
As If thou set me as a blind,
I'll never love thee more.
And in the empire Of thy heart
Where 1 should solely be,
II others do pretend a part,
Or dare to share with me:
Or committees If thou erect.
Or go on such a score,
I'll smiling mock at thy neglect,
And never love thee more.
But II no faithless action stain
Thy love and constant word.
I'll make thee famous by my pen.
And gloriou, by my sword:
I'll serve thee in such noble ways
AS ne'er was known before:
I'll deck and crown thy head with bays
And love thee evermore.
