Owing to gas shortage business is

There is break in the pipes, not yet

or they would speedily fall into our
hands.
"The French naval authorities are
pinning considerable faith to the part
their submarine boats will play in Of
fensive operations. The type of French
boats of this class which Is represented
by the Narval, the most successful yet
launched by France, is altogether un-
fitted for offensive operations. While
their torpedo boats may be more num-
erous than our own 1t must be remem-
bered that for purposes of attack they
would need double the number that we
should for defence. So far as. warships
go we can give them heavy odds, and
for a contest at close quarters, such
as one in home waters would be, they
are the most useful vessels.
THE dream of transporting a large
French army to England while this ma
val fight would be waging is ridiculous.
France would not have the transports
at her service. neither should she convey
them to the British side of the channel
had she them to use.>
Could Do Enormous Damage.
"There does not exist the slightest
doubt that France by keeping up run
ming fight with us could do enormous
damage to our commerce because our
interests lie in so many parts of the
seas and we have such an enormous
merchant marine to protect that we are
to a certain extent the most helpless
country in the world.
Should France not be speedily van
quished by our fleets, however, we
should build and purchase war vessels
SO quickly that her ultimate humiliation
would be assured and her colonies all
taken from her. .... '..
SHOULD France carry her plans for
rendering herself obnoxious to the verge
! of insanity, WHICH now appears to be
the dream of her military and naval
leaders, Great Britain will so strength
en- her army as to be able to follow up
her victories on sea with offensive oper-
ations on land.
"The present apparently enormous
superiority of the French army over
that of Great Britain has been bug
bear which the former country has
made much capital of, but we should re-
member that her short term conscripts
are not to be classed with the average
British soldier. BY mobilizing our In
dian as well as our British army we
could place ourselves in a position to
march on Paris, instead of allowing
Johnny Crapaud to enjoy the joke OF
demolishing Trafalgar Square.
"The British admiralty does not fear
any ultimate result Of war with
France, and on the whole the effect
of her threat is salutary as it stimu-
lates our authorities to increased eff
forts to improve the efficiency of both
arms of the service.
"One proof of this is that an order
for number of submarine boats of
the Holland type has been placed by
the British government and it is like
ly that many more will be ordered as
soon as trial tests have been made.
1--WE may have other surprises to
spring on France if she really ever
comes seriously to the fighting point.
These may include new inventions
which will partially have the effect of
revolutionizing warfare"

Tired and Nervous

1t is easy to tell when your nerve.force
and vital power are slipping away from
you When your days work leaves you
weary and exhausted; when you are so
nervous, irritable and sleepless that your
nights are passed in restless tossing; when
you get up in the morning with no appe-
tite for breakfast, and go around all day
with headache; you may be sure your
nervous strength is being used up faster
than it is being renewed.

witnessed on the horse guards par
ade today when King Edward pre-

great square was lined with guards,
drawn from the various regiments.
In the center of the ground was a pur-
pie dais surmounted by an Indian
tent with silver corner poles. In the
space between the dais and st. James
park were drawn up 5000 officers and
men of the guards, household cavalry
and city imperial volunteers, all Of
whom served in the campaign. The

official buildings fronting the parade
were all decorated with flags. From

ADMINISTRATION PLEASED.
May be Accomplished
This Summer.

Washington, June 12.-News of the
adoption of the Platt amendment by
the Cuban constitutional convention
was received with genuine gratifca-
ton here. The administration off
Gals all along have felt confident that
its ratification would be accomplished
when the Cubans realized that this
government was firm in it's attitude
regarding the amendment and that it's
acceptance would be necessary before
the United States would consent to
withdraw it's supervision from the
island. Now that the Cubans have
demonstrated their good faith in the
United States it is expected that a fair
~ speedy evacuation of the island will
follow, contingent, only, upon the
establishment of a stable government
in the island. Just to what extent
the United States will require prac-
tical evidence of this fact is not de-
finitely known, but officials here think
that such steps sould be taken by the
Cubans as will demonstrate their
ability to maintain order and peace
so that the interests of all the people,
native and foreign shall be adequate
~ protected. An effective police
force and other measures necessary
to the preservation of good order and
sanitation are deemed as essential
prerequisites in the formation OF the
new government. The mere question
of the withdrawal of American mill
tary forces from the island is an easy
one and can be accomplished without
much delay. One cabinet officer to-
night expressed the opinion that few
other requirements are necessary be.
fore our withdrawal, and that our
withdrawal might be accomplished
this summer.

places on the dais and the ceremony
began. The recipients Of medals, in
a long line, marched past the king,
received the decoration from his
majesty, saluted and passed on. Lord
Roberts came first, followed by Lord
Miner, while behind them crowds OF
generals and lesser officers, whose
names have become familiar, owing to
the war, Butler, Ian Hamilton and a
host of others. Among the members
of Lord Roberts South African staff
who received the medal was Captain,
the Duke Of Marlborough.
The procession. as a whole, was
most incongruous. The officers Of the
guards, lancers, hussars and highland
ers, in dazzling uniforms, groups of
solemnly CARRIED men in red coats,
doctors who had served at the front
and half a dozen foreign attaches in
uniform. Captain Stephen L. T. Slo-
cum, the United States military at
tache, was not present. He is in st.
Petersburg. There were also groups
of time-expired men in civilian cloth
ing, policemen and wounded soldiers,
limping along in hospital clothes. The
ceremony lasted nearly three hours,
the queen standing beside the king
throughout.

HUSBAND is MISSING
Headless Body Of Woman Found
Near Lowell Fully Iden-
tilted.

Lowell, Mass, June 1.-THE woman
whose headless body was found in the
woods Sunday and whose head was
found yesterday has been identified
as Mrs. Margaret Blondin of Boston.
A dispatch from Lawrence, this
state, says that Mrs. Blondin, when
quite young, removed to that city from
Lowell with her family. Last April,
while on a visit to her sister, who
resides at Lawrence, she said she had
some trouble with her husband,
as he wanted her to draw her money
out of the bank and go to Canada with
him to live. She asked her sisters
advice about the matter, but Mrs.
Casey told her to do as she thought
best.
Later it was learned that she had
returned to Boston and was living
with her husband. Afterwards Blon-
din said she had gone to Canada.
Mrs. Casey said from what Mrs.
Blondin told her she believed that
Blondin was very jealous of her and
had treated her cruelty. She says also
that he was very penurious. Mrs.
Casey is of the opinion that the quar-
rel about going to Canada was re-
newed between the couple and that
Mrs. Blondin left her husband, went
back to. Lowell to seek work and
there met her death.

INDEPENDENCE MUST UNDER
GO ALTERATIONS.
MAST WILL Be SHORTENED
When Necessary Changes Are
Completed Big Yacht Will
Sail Again.

Boston, June 12.-The first of the
series of sail trials of the yacht In
dependence was finished today and
the big 90-footer will not go out again
until some changes have been made
to correct a few slight defects brought
out during the five days of sailing,
These changes will be shortening of
the mast, reduction of the sail area,
due to tenderness shown by the boat
while on wind and substituting a
stern rudder post for the balance at
fair which has not proved satisfactory.
The mast will be shortened 10 feet,
4 feet being taken off foot of the main
mast and 6 feet from the foot of the
topmast. The reduction in the sails
plan made necessary will be accom-
plished by the cutting of two feet
from the top of the main sail and
some slight changes in the side sails,
or a total of some 200 square feet.
This reduction will tighten tip ham,
mer and stiffen the yacht without adj
ditional ballast.
independence sailed today for the
first time under outrigging canvas
mainsail, foresail, jib, topsail and club
topsail, and IN the light breeze seemed
to slip along very fast.
independence will go into navy
yard. dry dock tomorrow, as soon as
her mast has been removed.

HARD ON DEFENSE.
Court Rules Out Important Witness in
Kennedy Case.

Court Rules Out Important Witness in
Kennedy Case.
Kansas City, June 12.-Judge Wof-
ford today ruled out the testimony of
n of the strongest witnesses pre-
sented so far by the defense in the
case of Lulu Prince-Kennedy, on trial
the murder Of her husband. The
defense had evidently counted much
on being able to present this testi-
mony and the courts order to strike
it out al considered a blow. to their
side. Mrs. Kennedy was visibly de-
pressed by the courts action.
The witness was Edward w. Lewis,
inspector for the Western Railway
Inspection Bureau and a
personal friend of the dead man.
Through him the defense hoped to
prove the theory that Kennedy had
ruined Lulu Prince under promise of
marriage, and then refused to marry
her or to live with her after marriage
had been forced upon him. The tes-
of Lewis was ordered taken
down by the court ste~nographer, but
the court declined to let it be given
the jury until corroborated.
The defense also attempted to show
Mrs. Kennedy was temporarily
at the time of the murder. The
defense had not closed when court ad-
for the day.
