1874 and 1853 was to run with an en-
zine. Hose carts and trucks were
good enough In their way, but the real

the action of the American department

welcomed as a happy return for Great
Britain's refusal to sanction continental
Intervention in the wal between the

policy Of waiting for the British pro.
