THE AMERICAN NAVY.
Lieutenant De Fnramond Praises
Our Sen Fighters.

Lieutenant De Faramond, of the French
navy, who recently arrived here to become
a naval attache of the French Embassy.
American navy. Lieutenant De Faramond
has had wide experience as Il naval obsery
er, following the japanese and the Chinese
vessels through the China Japan war and
now coming here TO study American naval
methods. Speaking of the American navy
today Lieutenant De Faramond said:
The American navy has attracted world
wide attention within the past year. and is
leading European countries to send naval
attaches TO Washington. This will be the
first time that the French government has
had such an attache with the embassy. 4
German naval officer is coming to the Ger
man Embassy. and other countries doubt
less. will follow in the same line Since
the Spanish American war this country at
fords splendid facilities for naval study.
Ii was the first real test of modern fight
ing vessels. and naval science must draw
its conclusions largely from what the
American navy accomplished during the
war with Spain.
Il think il is universally conceded in Eu-
rope that the American navy made a splen-
ala record not only IN n general way, but
in technical matters of naval detail II
demonstrated the effectiveness of the rapid
fire gun of medium calibre. rather than the
larger guns. 1t also seemed TO show that
the power of a navy Is more in its weap-
ons of attack and offence, its capa bility of
giving blows, than in its heavy armor and
capability of resisting blows.
Lieutenant de Faramond says foreign
naval observers are not only interested in
serving the large amount of naval con
struction now in progress in the United
States and the improvement it involves
From Italian statistics he shows that the
United States is today reckoned second
among the great powers in point of war
ships under construction. This tonnage
by countries is as follows: Great Britain
| 1913, 122 tons: United States. 56.425: Japan
41,520; Russia. 29. .04O: France. %, ,66S; Ger
| many, 1915; Italy, 2,972
Lieutenant De Faramond says he thinks
the adoption of the water-tube boilers in
American warships will be great inn
provement and will make them much more
effective for long cruising. This class ot
boilers, he says, has been adopted by the
British admiralty for the Powerful, Ter
| rible, and ships of that class, and quite
| generally by the naval authorities oi

STABBED DURING A QUARRlA
John Graham. a Coal Miner. in
Critical Condition.


Cumberland, Md, March 13.-william
Van Bushirk. a young farmer. fatally
stabbed John Graham. coal miner and
member of The Midland Band, AT Gilmore,
two miles above Homecoming, Saturday
night
The men were friends and, with others,
met in a saloon, where they were drinking.
quarrel arose over a trivial matter and
the sJabbing resulted. Graham. who is the
smaller man, was cut horizontally across
the abdomen and his intestines rolled out.
The physicians report his condition preca-
rious, with no hope of recovery.
Van Buskirk was brought 10 jail in Cum
berland yesterday by Bailitt Stump. OF Lo-
nacOning, on commitment by Justice
MacFarlane. He says he did the cutting in
self-defence; that a number OF men beset
him. His father, who is a farmer on Da-
Wis Mountain, was juror in the celebrated
Garlitz murder case.
II appears that Van Buskirk who had
been drinking for some time and is of a
boisteTous nature, said in the saloon that
he could whip anybody in the town. Some
one other than Graham took up the matter
and Van Buskirk stabbed Graham. The
man he was after then knocked Van Bus
kirk down with a beer keg.

There is a movement on foot to restrict

Just a word of caution. When you
