I Even supposing that a continuous
| supply of sufficient food could be
brought into the country, which is ex-
| tremely doubtful, it would undoubtedly
| be brought in at such greatly enhanced
| prices as would place it quite beyond
| the purchasing power of the poorer
| classes 1t is manifestly useless to
| have navy equal to those of any two
powers, or even three, if it is possible
for those powers, without sending a
single ship to sea, to raise provisions to
| famine prices in this country by finan-
| cial operations only. Similarly it is
| plainly useless to have the strongest
possible army-a universal service army
to guard us from invasion in the not
| impossible event of a naval disaster, if
| 1t is in the power of our enemies to
| starve US into submission in about six
months or so without landing a single
man.
1.-THE state would have to feed seven
million Of the population in the event
Of war with France and Russia and
eight million in the event Of war with
France, Russia and Germany. But we
are at present completely dependent
upon Russia and the United States for
food, and there are only four and
half or five months food supplies in the
country at any time. We ought, how
ever, to be able to make our food sup
ply last for two years. This could only
be done by arranging in our scheme of
imperial defense to guarantee the navy
In the event of disaster, so as to enable
it to utilize to the fullest extent our I'M
riyalled resources for naval reinforce
ment and thus eventually to raise the
siege Of the British Isles and regain
command of the sea"
Captain Murray dealt in detail with
the remedies proposed before Mr.. Yer
burgh's committee, declaring that it
was earnestly to be hoped that the royal

Germans are smart business rlen and
so are Americans. This being SO Ger
man-Americans ought to be extra
smart in business. One of them seems
to be about as smart as they make
them. He has plan for the establish
ment of American stores, under Amer
| lean management, to sell American
boots and shoes in fifteen different
cities in Germany and Austria, the
cities in which there are to be- stores
including Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfort,
Dresden, Leipsic, Vienna and Munich,
and the first of the stores to be opened
will be in Berlin the last of next week.
Not only will the stores be American
in management and stock, but even the
American plan of closing at 6 o'clock
every night in the week except Satur-
day will be followed, and no business
will be done on Sunday This is in
marked contrast to the German custom
of keeping open till 8 p. m. and doing
business seven days in the week.
This is a bold move, but it has good
chances of success. American boots
and shoes are good shoes, and the Ger
mans will miss it if they don't appreci-
ate them and buy them.

NONE TRIO UBEE.

It is fast becoming evident that if the
United States is to maintain its com
mercial supremacy it will have to
fight for 1t in the great industrial war
which has begun. What is going on in
several European countries is indicated
in report made by the United States
consul at Trieste, who calls attention
to the fact that the tariff Treaties of
Austria Hungary expire in 1902, neces-
stating a general revision of the GUS
toms laws. There Is a strong move

THE BRITISH FOOD SUPPLY.
Want Of Food May Render All Means
of Defense Ineffective.

In a lecture delivered by Captain S.
L. Murray, Gordon Highlanders, at the
Royal United Service Institution, the
food supply of England was discussed
and a method of organized safety was
proposed as follows:
LAS we are at present organized if
our enemies could but manage to de-
at their mercy, to conquer us by an
overwhelming invasion or to starve us
into submission, whichever they
pleased. Yet, if our nation were but
properly organized for defense we pos
sess ample resources within ourselves
to enable us to bid defiance both to in
vasion and to starvation But these
great defensive resources we have not
as yet even attempted to organize.
"The discussion in Germany, France
and Russia as to the possibility of in
vasion should open our eyes and cause
us, before it is too late, to make the ne
cessary preparations for defense.
These might be comprised as: First, a
navy increased to n three power scale
instead of a two-power scale; secondly,
an army on the principle of universal
militia service for home defense, and
thirdly, a food supply department to
guarantee us against starvation. That
we could easily raise enough revenue
thus to put our imperial defense on q
proper footing l have been informed on
very good authority. 1t is with the last
IF these equally necessary components
IF a thorough and properly reasoned
scheme of imperial defense that 1 pro-
pose to deal, The question of our food
supply lies at the very root of any prop
erly reasoned scheme of imperial de-
'ense, because it determines our stay
ng power in the event of European
war.

THE TRAGEDY OF MRS, Mr1LER.

| THE Tragedy OF nhS' MiLLEh'
The tragedy Of Mrs. Malinda Miller,
| of Wells county, Indiana, is worth some
attention, Mrs. Miller went through a
severe struggle between love and what
she called duty. Love conquered tenn
porarily, and then her idea of duty
pressed upon her so that she felt obliged
to hang herself. 1t appears that Mrs.
Miller told her first husband before he
died that she would not take a second
husband. She broke this promise, and
when she woke from her dream of hap
piness last Saturday evening she con-
cluded that, having broken her promise
to her first husband she was in duty
bound to prevent herself from profiting
by the broken promise. So she went
into the barn, put a rope around her
neck and, perhaps went to join her
first husband. Anyhow, she went
somewhere.
OF course Mrs. Miller was a weak wo-
man. If she hadn't been she wouldn't
have promised her first husband not to
appoint a successor to him, or she
would have kept the promise, or, if she
hadn't wanted to keep the promise, she
would have calmly broken it and let 1t
go at that 1t is difficult to admire her
for breaking her promise and then
killing herself to set matters right, On
the face of things it doesn't look as If
she had treated either of her husbands,
or herself, just right. But there is no
accounting for some things. She was
a woman. How a man may look upon
his promise to his wives is illustrated
in the case of Julio Castelanos. who Is
fleeing from the Gila Valley to Mexico
leaving at least fourteen Wives-all
living and none divorced-behind him.
1t is not expected that he will commit
suicide because he has sworn and !
changed.

IRA FEN.

AS is we'll known, it is Mr.. Carnegie,s
plan to give in such way that other
people will also give. He has offered to
the city Of New York s. 1900, 900 to pay
for the cost of sixty-fve buildings to
contain sixty-fve collections of books
and sixty-five corps of clerks for taking
care of their distribution among the
people. 1t will cost the city something
like 100000 a year to maintain these
libraries, to say nothing of the cost of
the sites and Of the books themselves
So if the city accepts Mr.. Carnegies
gift in ten years it will contribute as
much as he has offered. 1t is interest
ing to notice that Mr.. Carnegie's offer
has stimulated generosity in several
New York men. Abram s. Hewitt,
John D. Crinmins, Charles A. Schieren,
Charles A. Moore, William Berri, Will
liam H. Reynolds, Bird S. Coler, w.
Bourke Cochran, j. j. Coogan, Justice
Scott and Samuel Untermeyer have of
fered to give land TO the city on which
can be built, and it is thought
to be more than possible that the city
will not have to buy a site for a single
library. If siXty-tive generous and
spirited men in New York join
with Mr.. Carnegie in his work for the
good of the city the spectacle will be a
decidedly cheering one.
