HOW ENGLAND STOOD BY
AMERICA.
By Sir Edward Chichester.

Among the English naval officers
who have figured to some extent in the
South African War is Sir dwa Chi
chester, captain of the British ship I'M
mortalite. and recently in service as
em~barcation officer at Cape Town.
But Captain Chichester is best known
for the friendly and helpful service he
rendered Admiral Dewey in the critical
days that followed the battle of Manila
Bay. The German Admiral Diedrich
assumed a decidedly offensive attitude
at that time toward the American COM
mander, and tried hard to draw him
INTO a quarrel. It was in pursuit of
this purpose hat he visited the Immor-
talite, then lying in Manila Bay, and
asked Captain Chichester wha he
would do if Dewey bombarded Manila.
To this the captain replied: THAT is
known only to Dewey and myself"
Here Captain Chichester describes
more fully this famous incident:
when the German admiral sent me
ship to get me to join him in a protest
against Admiral Dewey's action. I
looked UP international law and
spread the books out on my cabin
table, with the pages, open and marked
all in a rowland when he came, ]
said, What can I do? This American
admiral is so deadly right in all he has
done, and all he proposes to do, that
If we protest Wen merely show that
! we don't understand the law And of
course there was nothing to be done,
and Ibid it." Sir Edward is said to
be both a fighter and diplomatist, and
I he certainly figured well in the latter
capacity on this occasion.

fGOOD CITIZENSHIP. !
BY Bird s. coler, of New York.

Political and civic conditions in the
United States are now undergoing
rapid and important changes. They
are nearly all tending in the direction
of better citizenship and government.
In the spread of sound knowledge,
the development of public spirit and
The growth of civic pride and political
honesty lies the safety of our institu-
tons. The masses of the people are
looking more and more to the men OF
education to lead them to a better I'M
Outstanding of the rights and duties of
citizenship. In. the slums and the
quarters Of the poor and ignorant in
every large city Of the country to-day
we find university settlements-mere
beginnings, many of them, but every
one a green oasis in a desert where So
cial and political conditions are of the
/ .owest order.
There has been a growing tendency
among men who were otherwise good
citizens to shirk public duties. They
wanted to keep out of politics and pub
ic life, but in keeping out they made

It has been demonstrated again and
lgain that really bad government is
never permanently reformed by chang
ng it's politics. The government OF
States and cities in this country thai
has been most expensive, corrupt and
lebasing has been government thai
openly violated no stature law.
The old system of stealing from the
public treasury has passed way and

oartering political influence for cash OF
stock in corporations has succeeded
The people are beginning to understand
hat the government under which they
i've, in city or State, is going to be al.
The time pretty much what they make
t. If good citizens neglect their civic
1uties the politicians will take the Of
aces and everything else that is not
chained down.
In the cities of the country there is
spreading with gratifying rapidity q
better understanding of public ques.
ions. The great principle Of municipal
ownership of franchises and control OF
public utilities has been firmly estab-
ished in our system of city govern
nent. We are not rushing blindly into
.aSh experiments Of buying and oper-
ating everything from a plants to
automobiles, but the growth Of intelli-
gent citizenship has reached that stage
where it will not permit the great char
ter rights OF the people of American
cities to be sold for individual gain OF
bartered for political power.

The Latest Machine Gun.

The English Admiralty have decid-
ed to adopt the 1903 type of Maxim ma
chine gun, and as soon as a sufficient
number can be manufactured they will
replace ali the guns of the .045 type
now in use in the Royal Navy. The
great ad yantage of the new type of
gun is that it can be supplied with
the ordinary Lee-Metford ammunition,
whereas for the Maxims now in use a
special class of ammunition has to be
provided. The mounting Of the new
Maxim is also much more convenient
