ENGLAND HAS LOST PLACE
Lord Brasssy Says She is No Longer Leader
of Mercantile Marine,
CALLS UP QUESTION OF SUBSIDIES
Claim Made that Grear Britain IL Not
Getting Her Full Share of the
Atlantic Trade for Lack
of This.

LONDON, July S.-Lord Brassey, liberal,
initiated q discussion on naval matters
in the House OF Lords today, during the
course Of which he deplored the fact that
Great Britain had lost the place 1t once
held with its mercantile marine. The ques-
ton on subsidies he thought must depend
on the action OF the other powers. All the
naval powers Of Europe gave liberal sub
sides, while President Roosevelt and for
mer Secretary Gage had recommended this
policy. 1t was contrary to British policy
to foster industries by bounties or protec-
ton. but to pay for a reserve OF auxiliary
vessels would certainly be to. the public
advantage.
Lord Selborne, the first lord OF the ad-
miralty, In the course of a reply referred
to the Atlantic shipping combine. He said
it seemed to him that the balance was
one OF disadvantage to the combination,
because 1t necessarily placed very large
powers in the hands Of a few men. The
government disclaimed any sort OF jealousy
OF the Americans. They had an American
marine OF their own and they had a per-
feet right to a full share OF the Atlantic
trade. 1t was to British interest that they
should have 1t. 1t should not be an almost
British monopoly. On the other hand
Great Brltaln COulu NOT ahptu w " iNSS'
squeezed out Of the Atlantic trade. The at
titude Of the government. therefore, was
not one Of hostility, but Of anxiety, and not
until they had formed an opinion OF the
whole question could they wisely and fairly
enter into agreements with one party or
another. It would never do to rely in the
event of war on the merchant ships of other
nations for the purpose OF British carry
ing trade. Great Britain had fallen be-
hind in regard to vessels OF high speed
because it had not given heavy subsidies
like other nations. The expense OF so large
a subsidy policy was so insidious that In
his opinion the substituting OF. commercial
corporations should and must be confined
TO a limited number and for a special and
definite purpose. While merchant cruisers
had their proper place in time OF war,
they could never be substituted for naval
cruisers nor would the possession OF mer-
chant cruisers even diminish the shlp
building vote for the navy.

IN THE Jim RIVER VALLEY
Cereals and show Marked
v%Ivacity, but Potatoes and
Flax VIII BE short.

HURON, S. D., July s.-(special.)-
Weather the past week has been more ben
efcial to corn growth than for the past
month, and that crop has made splendid
progress in and throughout this part Of
the state. In many parts Of the Jim river
valley where corn was damaged by frost
the crop is fast recovering, and with the
warm weather there is reason to believe
there will be a fair yield.
Corn not harmed by frost is in excellent
condition: some fields are weedy because
the ground has been too wet to cultivate.
Wheat is fast maturing in this part Of
the state; the heads are large and filling
evenly and the straw Is long and strong.
The crop bids fair to be one OF the heaviest
harvested in many years.
Barley and rye are as far advanced as
at this date last year and in much better
condition; the heads are larger than usual
and filling to the very tips.
Oats will be one nt the best OF crops.
They are maturing rapidly and harvest will
be about as early as last year and the crop
much larger, and indications are that it
will be of much better quality.
Flax Is backward except in early soyn
FIELDS. The acreage is small and the crop
is likely to be light.
Potatoes were very seriously harmed by
frost, and this crop will fall far below es-
Inmates. Those in market are small and
reports indicate that the damage is more
serious than supposed.
The hay crop will be one Of the greatest
In the history Of the jim river valley; It is
strong, of excellent color and abundant
even where gross heretofore was regarded
as almost worthless.
Rains the past week have been mostly
In local showers, but covering the larger
part Of the valley. Some hail is reported
to have injured crops along the north line
Of Beadle and the south line Of Sphinx coun-
ties, but the damage is not as great as re-
ported two or three days ago. Farmers
are securing help, which at best will be
scarce, for the gathering Of crops.
