BIG STEBL TRUST
AROUNEN ENGLISH
Fear That They Have Lost
Their Start in the
Race

London, March 2.-Mr. Herbert AS
quith, member Of parliament for East
Fife, speaking last night at Coventry
on the defects of the British Industrial
system said: 1--WE are seriously threat
ened in our Industrial system for the
FIRST time in our history. The exports
Of the United States now exceed those
OF Great Britain. The truth is that we
have lost our start In the race and that
other nations both in opening out
their material advantages and still
more in training the industrial intelli-
gence OF their citizens. are everywhere,
and in all markets, pressing us hard" "
The Spectator. commenting upon the
American steel trust, says: while ad-
mitting that il is not unreasonable to
anticipate that within very few years
more than half the steel production Of
the world will be under the hands OF
the trust, we regret TO note the nervous
apprehension aroused here and the cry
raised for a departure from the es-
tablished fiscal principles in the inter
est OF threatened British iron and steel
trades. II is not impossible that the
vaulting ambition of the trust may
overlap itself and provoke formidable
antitrust and anti-protection develop
ments."

OFFICERS 10 INVESTIGATE
THE DEATH OF 4 MARINE

Washington, March Ia hero OF the
11en-Tsin fight, with a leading officer
in command Of marines at that time,
have preferred charges, it is said,
against a surgeon in the navy for al
legged cruelty and neglect of duty,whick
may lead to a court-rnartial and some
sensational developments.
II is asserted that a surgeon neglected
10 render medical aid to a private dur
ing the Chinese expedition. which re-
suited in the man bleeding to death, al
though medical officers say such a
charge cannot be sustained. The ac-
cusing officers are Captain Smedley u.
Butlr, CT the Marine Corps, a son of
Congressman Butler, OF West Chester,
Pa, and Colonel Meade, OF the same
corps, the letter being now on leave OF
absence and the former invalided home
soon after the first engagement with
the Chinese forces. Charges and coun-
ter-charges are presented, it is alleged,
in which Captain Butler and Colonel
Meade are said to have been influenced
probably by a report of the surgeon
whom they accuse of unprOfess' 'Onhl
conduct on their physical condition. and
finding them unfit for continuing ON
duty with the troops
Both Colonel Meade an6 Captain But
Ter were with the detachment Of ma
rines ordered as part of the Pekin re-
lief expedition. So far the Navy De-
partment has net taken any notice of
the allegations, but an investigation
