at the blackmailing which is being
done by several Denver papers,
against the property and interests
of a number of Denver corporations

THE BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY

In the reign of Queen Elizabeth the
ordinary expenses of the navy were
only 10000 year.
A line soldier in England costs $275
n year, and even then, says a writer in
Blackwood, he is often a mere boy or
an invalid and weakly man
Last year penalties in 81 cases,
amounting to 100000, were incurred
by constructors for the British navy,
owing to delays; they were enforced
in two cases only to the extent of $500.
The British government is the own
er of over $4,000 camels. Several thou
sand are used in India to carry stores
and equipment when companies are
changing quarters by line of march.
Britain's new naval programme pro-
vides for the building of four addition
al battleships, four cruisers and 12 tor
pedo boat destroyers, bringing the to-
tai expenditure for new ships up to
E15,O00,000.
The conditions under which British
sailors and soldiers live are far more
sanitary now than in the past. In 1865
more than II deaths occurred in every
1000 men afloat, while ten years later
the number fell to 6.s, in 1885 to 5.4, and
in 1895 to A. In the army the figures
are not quite SO satisfactory.
In the future English army medical
staffs are to have military status and
combatant titles. The word Surgeon"
will no longer be used. The army med
