with the systems of the Asiatic coast
would open increased and profitable
opportunities for more direct cable

which means that the Colorado feed
'ers are the best on earth.
The cattle that received this honor
was bunch of back Galloway calves
from the herd of ID. Il. Newcomb, in
the San Luis valley. Their competi-
tors were from the largest herds in
the world, from Wyoming and the
Texas Panhandle, but the judges were
unanimous in awarding the prize to
the little black calves from Colorado.
These San Luis valley calves are
from the same herd that took the
prizes at the Denver show, two years
ago. They are what is known as
grade calves, by pure-bred bulls. Be-
SA4es winning the grand championship
prize, these calves also took first and
third prize In competition with calves
from Colorado and western Kansas
and Nebraska, and sweepstakes in
competition with Texas, Colorado and
Wyoming. The cash prizes amounted
to about 500.

which won the first prize in class and
secured third in the sweepstakes. Mr.
Grubb sold these yearling steers ut

MERCIER WANTS TO
INVADE ENGLAND

Paris, Dec. 5.-General Mercier
caused deep sensation in the Senate
yesterday, during the debate on the ma
val bill, by pointing out the ease with
which England could be invaded. He
demanded that the government intro
duce into the plans for mobilization Of
the army and navy methods for the
rapid embarkation and debarkation Of
an expeditionary corps. The president,
NJ. Fallieres, interviewed, declaring that
such proposals were out of order.
In the course of his extraordinary
speech, General Mercler said:
''In view of the possibility Of war
with Great Britain, the use of the army
is not sufficiently taken into account
The times are not the same as they
were hundred years ago. Steam, the
navy, the telegraph and railroad have
rendered the problem of invasion of
England much easier of solution.
Moreover, England herself is no
longer the same. The Transvaal hns
shown that the British army, although
brave, Is not equal to the task which
England expected it to perform. The
British navy is powerful, but it has
many coasts to defend.
France, therefore, is numerically
England's equal at certain points, and
is ever her superior in the instruments
OF destruction. History furnishes many
instances of mutiny in the English
navy at the moment of battle. A land
ing In England is, therefore, not be-
yond realization.
This Is not only my opinion, but that

ism premier recently expressed signifi-
cant Tears, and if the principle of land
ing Is admitted, the practical means of
execution may be decided.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The Womans
Christian Temperance Union conren-

against the army canteen and prepared
n petition to the President, another to
Congress and to all the great powers
against the sale of fire arms and the
importation of liquor and opium INTO
the Philippine islands, or the island
possessions of the powers.
The petition to the President pointed
out that 1t has been the policy or
America to forbid the sale of intoNi-
cants to the Indian tribes and that
England, who had the greatest expert
ence among all Of the coloniZinG pow
ers of the world, had been forced 10
