IN EVENT OF WAR.
Exigeucies That Might Arise IL England
and France Should Fight.

Ahas ANhSo ~ bhHhs
and France Should Fight.
In the event of war between Great
Britain and France the first and most
important part of the struggle would
be for the command Of the sea, says
the Nineteenth Century. Should Great
Britain succeed in retaining the COM
mand of the sea France would thereby
be reduced to a condition of impotence
so far as offensive operations are con-
cerned and would sooner or later be
obliged to submit to the will Of her
rival, although 1t is true the war might
last for a long time. II, on the other
nand, France should succeed in wrest-
ing from Great Britain the command
of the sea and in keeping 1t Great
Britain would be much more helpless
and impotent than France in similar
plight would be that the war would
terminate quickly. In word, France,
even without the command of the sea
or anything approaching to 1t, remains
capable OF prolonged resistance, firstly,
because she is self-supporting coun-
try; secondly, because the French ma
tional sentiment and strength are al
ready concentrated within her borders
and, thirdly, because she stands among
the best equipped Of the military pow
ers, while Great Britain, deprived Of
the command Of the sea, would collapse
with relative rapidity, firstly, because
she Is in no sense self-supporting
country; secondly. because her ma
tional sentiment and strength are scat
tered over the world and cannot be
concentrated save by way Of the sea,
and, thirdly, because she is not a mill
tary power, according to the standard
set up by Germany, France. Russia and
Austria-Hungary.

wh.r. Peter tn. ors.. Lodged.

In the quaint town Of Zaarndam, in
Holland, Peter the Great came in 1897
to learn the trade of shipbuilding. He
worked like any ordinary workman,
under the name OF Peter Michaelhoff.
He lived by himself, doing his own
washing and cooking his own meals in
his hut Of two rooms. The cottage.
which now leans in all directions, still
contains the rude furniture which the
great Peter used-a bedstead. table and
two chairs. II Is incased In building
erected for the purpose and over the
mantsl . tablet erected BY AlsxAndAs
Of Russia IN 1914.

Women ON Russian Railways

According to Russian correspond
emit the chief Of the Riazan-Ural rail-
way has asked permission from the
minister Of communication to permit
those women who have been passed by
the railway school at Saratof to be en-
ployed on the railway as station-mas-
tiers and substation-masters, luggage
inspectors and telegraph superintend-
snts. since in that part Of Russia there
Is great lack Of educated and reliable
