which had befallen the members OF

AN ENGLISH ALLIANCE

FAAah That the Anglo sa1o. Race Should

R1&natkoD

London, March 2l.-The remarkable
unanimity Of the approval of both
classes and masses of the mere sug-
gestion of an Anglo American alliance
cOinpels belief in the desire Of the
British public for an entente with the
United States. The fact that most OF
the cable dispatches from America
have proclaimed that the suggestion
has been seriously discussed Is heart
lily welcomed here, and is regarded as
extremely important and gratifying.
as evidencing friendly spirit.
There are" as n diplomatist put 1t.
"inspiring hope that the differences OF
the past will be buried and that An
glo-Saxons in the near future will be
found issuing identical notes to all op-
posed to their common interests" The
diplomat continues: 1T IL not any
stretch OF the Imagination to say that
such q union has been longed for by
the best men in Great Britain many
years, not only because 1t is a known
fact that all the statesmen of Europe
realize that n close alliance between
America and Great Britain would con-
stitute not only the surest guarantee
Of the peace of the world. but would
afford proof that the reign of law and
individual liberty is to be extended for
the benefit Of mankind. in spite OF the
efforts to extinguish it made by reac-
tiOnary rulers and governments"
The weekly newspapers pay consid
cradle attention TO the subject. The
Speaker says:
at is impossible for the statesmen
Of either country to find nobler OBJ
ject to which to devote their energies
and their lives. Whatever the actual
relations In which the governments Of
London and Washington regard the
matter, the American people may be
assured that il they wish for an agree
meDt the people of Great Britain will
wish for one. Wo do not wish to ask
the Americans to fight our battles, just
as we feel convinced that they are too
proud to desire that we should fight
theirs. But what we do wish, and
what wise men on both sides must
earnestly desire. is that each nation
shall feel that II has In the other a
friend and a brother. on whose SYM
pathy II can rely in time Of need"
The Spectator. noting the good feel
ing expressed in the United States,
says:
"lt does not flow from any desire to
court the old country because it may
be useful. but is due to the reported
coalition on the continent against Eng

of ammunition for one Of the big guns

and any one can realize that we will
need an enormous amount Of powder
before our navy goes to war, for It
takes nearly half ton every time one
of the big thirteen-inch guns Is fired.
There We're 80 tons Of powder on the
Maine when she wen, down, and her
magazines were only half filled. The
big battleships and the first-rate cruis-
ers should never go into action without
a supply of from 500 to 800 tons, or,
my, an average of 700. There are elev-

er require 100 tons. Then there are
sixteen second-class ships which ought
to have 500 tons each in their maya
zines, or total of 5000; forty-two
third-rate ships which should have at
least 300 tons each. or a total Of 1860
tons and seven fourth-rate ships which
should have 200 tons each, or total OF
] 400 tons. Without counting the tor
pedo boats, it requires about 10000
tons Of powder to ill the magazines Of
our navy before 1t would be safe to
send the ships into action.
The sea soast defenses, with their
monstrous eight. ten and twelye-inch
guns require several times as much.
The four-inch rapid-fire rifle requires
sixteen pounds Of powder to carry
projectile weighing thirty-three pounds
four miles. The five-inch gun re-
quires twenty-five pounds, the six-inch
rifle fifty pounds, the eight-inch rife
$50 pounds, the ten-inch 500 pounds,

are four of these guns each on the bat
