OF the naval constructor moves at
costly figure i'm this extraordinary de-
parture. He would secure the sailors
life against the shot of the enemy by
clapping him up Ia a ship which threat

case as that OF the Irish sentry. who.
seeing another in the act OF cutting his
throat, shot him to save his ffe. The
old sailors fought in rolling seas. IL
may be supposed that the sailors OF our

The idea OF arbitration is making
headway at The Hague. 1t is. of course,
yet too early to assume that the Peace
Conference will really frame any agree
ment OF big Importance. but that the
work in the committees Is proceeding
toward real accomplishment is almost
certain. Even the German delegates
are said now 10 favor some scheme for
permanent arbitration OF certain mat
ters between nations, whether by a
standing court or some less arbitrary
INSTITUTION than that would be. lust
what sort OF question shall be subject
TO arbitration is naturally a trouble
some subject as we'll as just what kind
of a tribunal shall be established and
perhaps neither question will reach
settlement at this convention. But that
the leaven OF the arbitration proposals
is working is quite clear. The matter
OF disarmament is naturally in abey-
ance and will probably remain so. That
the nations would rush TO voluntarily
lay down their arms was not really ex-
pected. In heading FOR the millennium
the nations will doustless practice

of seamen and steamer ffremen, which
has been threatened for some time, was
declared to-day. the ship owners refus-
ing 10 accept the invitation of the Sea-
men and Firemen's Union for confer
ence fixing the rate of wages for hremen
and sailors at G6 and for sailors on sail
ing vessels at e4 monthly, a slight ad-
vance in the average wages now PAID at
the various British ports. Reports as to
the effect and thoroughness of the move
ment have not yet been received, except
from South Shields, where, it is stated
1000 men have gone out.
Many meetings have been held in the
vicinity of the London docks, the speak
ers expressing the determination of the
men to remain idle until their demands
have been granted. But traffic at this
port has not yet been affected.
1t is not likely that the strike VIII be
