The British Empire May
Combine Against the World.
What Such A Combina alton Would Mean In
Commerce And International Politics.

G255, 262,9S7 and debt 6 1,159,2 POI ,S63.
The total revenue of Germany, France,
Russia, Japan and the United States
amounts to C Sos, 002,396, more than
double that of Greater Britain; the
total expenditures, 6 54s, 173, $50 and the
debt 92,394, $50 $50, over half of which
belongs to France alone.
The exports of the British empire
total over e650,000,0O0 and the imports
over $780, 100000. The total exports
of the five countries named above, and
whom the Greater Britain would have
to reckon with in her exclusive policy,
amountsto nearly $500, 100000 and the
imports to over e700,000,OO0.
If the Morgan specter had not APP
peared on the horizon just at this time
the immense tonnage of shipping con-
trolled by Britain would lead us to
fear that, in one respect at least, she
would have the best of the proposed

the last report, but Mr.. Morgan and
his syndicate propose to materially re-
duce this grand total. While the ship

will continue to sail under the British
flag, still the absolute control of these
ships necessary to carry out the plan
of Col. Denison has been lost, and Mr..
Labouchere declares in recent article.
in London Truth that Britain's COM
mercial supremacy is not only threat
ened, but is doomed.
Britain would come nearer realizing
the dream of Col Denison in her fight
ing strength on the seas than in any
other particular, but Germany and
Russia are making rapid strides in in
creasing their navies and France al
ready ranks second in naval strength
in the world and would be formid-
able foe for even Britain to meet. The
latter has So battleships and eight

ing; Russia, 10 and five building;
Germany II and seven building; United
States ten and eight building, and
Japan seven. Great Britain has 1926
cruisers and is building; France 81
and eight building; Russia, is and five
building; Germany, 16 and four build
ing; United States, 25 and Is building;
Japan, 20 and two building. From
these figures it can he seen that if it
was case of Great Britain gainst the
world she would have pretty lively
time of it in seeking to maintain su-

premacy of the seas and protect her
possessions which girdle the earth.
But right here is where the nice
feature of Col. Denison's scheme is
proposed to work wonders for his
united country. 1t is his purpose
to have the revenues collected from
other nations go to pay for the de-
fenses against the world and make
them invincible. In land forces the
British empire would make poor
showing against the world. She
could muster in her various branches
of the military service an aggregate
of 1854 fighting men. Russia has
a standing army of over million.
and with all her reserves called our
in case of war would be able to put
into the field fully equipped for ac'
tive service over 100000 men. IL
this vast army should sweep down
upon India the fence which Britain
proposes to erect around her possess
sions would avail nothing and India
could be painted another color on
the maps. And while John Bull was
busy trying to stem the tide of Rus
sian, French, German invasion, Japan
could give slap at the possessions
and the prestige of the British in the
Chinese empire, while Uncle Sam
might swoop down upon Canada ana
annex the northern section of the
continent and leave one flag waving
from Hudson bay to the gulf, and
that flag the glorious stars and
stripes.
One embarrassing feature to Eng
land of the proposed plan would be
that in her exclusiveness she would
no longer be at liberty to send her
titled but penniless sons over to the
United States to secure wives with
generous doweries. Then the Young
men would have to go to work or
remain wifeless. And by the way,
what a splendid opportunity King
Edward would have of assimilating
and welding together the Indians
and the Africans and the Canadians
and the inhabitants of the islands of
the sea, as he endeavored to help
them to realize that they were part
of the gigantic scheme to show the
world that the British empire could
live unto itself, give nothing out and
take in all that came to it's hand.

mean if Great Britain was able o com
pletely carry out the scheme. First of
all let us take a survey of the resources
of the United Kingdom, India and her
colonies. In the little world of her
own which it isproposedtoc create there
would be 35S,922, 1O5 people, divided as
follows: 40,9o9,925 in the United King
dom, 5,312,500 in Canada, 294 ,26G, 900 in
in India and 1S,433,6s in all the colo
MES, exclusive of Canada, already men
toned. The combined population of
Germany, France, Russia, Japan and
the United States is 32O,375,25S, less by
over 3S,o0000o than the population of
Greater Britain. But it must be re-
membered that the teeming millions
of India are included, and that they
are rather source of weakness than
strength to her.
The total revenue of the United
Kingdom, India and the colonies
amounts 20 e246,273, 4o5; expenditures.

tons to ship goods into her territory
if they pay her sufficient duty, and
with the grand total of revenue which
she would expect to realize from this
source she would expect to make her
possessions bristle with the defensive
guns and fill the seas fuller than ever
with her l,attleships and torpedo
boats. And the more optimistic are
even hopeful that there will be sutfi-
cient left to give John Bull spending
money to relieve the drain incident to
the South African war.
This, is certainly very attractive
picture from the Britisher's stand
point, and affords the speculative mind
a grand opportunity to think on. the
possibilities of such scheme, but it
is not likely that Uncle Sam or the
kaiser, or the car, or any other of the
worlds rulers will become panic
stricken and at once propose to capitu-
late to this world-defying proposition.

make the bold stroke of bringing them
under his control. Little Japan need

AUTOMATIC HAWK KILLING.
The Unique Continuance of n North
ern Louisiana Farmer That Has
Been Very Effective,

Folks in the Smithsonian institution
and other authorities say that two or
three kinds of American hawks are
harmful to farmers, and that these are
not SO very harmful; the other kinds
put in their time destroying field mice,
rabbits, gophers and kindred fauna
which work i'll to crops. Robert
Wyche, who raises cotton and such
things in northern Louisiana, pays no
attention to the scientists, however,
says the New York Sun.
There are 12 varieties of hawks in
that country, and he believes that they
all catch chickens. He is ready to
make oath that he has killed more than
one of each variety either in the act of
swooping into his barnyard or perched
upon tree with a chicken in its tai
ons. He declares that even the small
sparrow hawk, most beautiful and
diminutive of kites, will tackle chicks
not more than two weeks out of the
shell.
Wyche has used blue-whistler buck
shot upon the great gray hawks, al
most as large as eagles, and duckshot
upon the other varieties, until he has
grown tired of it, 1t takes half day
of farmers time to circumvent and
Stay gray hawk which has carried
off pullet.
Blue whistlers are used on them be-
cause they are wary and must be
picked off at rs yards. An old negro
told Wynche of a hawk-killing scheme
which he has put into effect, and now
he rests easily.
Hawks perch only on dead trees, or
bare limbs at a good height They
make themselves conspicuous in do
ing so, but are better able to look over
the surrounding country and watch
for prey.
Wyche made strong pole so feet
long by mailing scantlings together
Then he took an old scythe, ground
and whetted its edge to razor keen
ness and, tied it transversely to one
end of the pole with the sharp edge
down. Then he set the pole up firm
ly 200 yards from the barnyard and
waited.
Within an hour black hawk lit on
the scythe, grasped it with its talons
in order to steady itself on the narrow
upper edge, and cut its feet badly.
1t glanced down and struck at the
scythe viciously with its beak.
1t was cut again, and made crafty
angry by the scent of its own blood,
which always happens; a broken
winged hawk will attack anything, big
or little, that comes within its reach.
1t drove its beak once more against
the scythe and fell to the ground with
its head cut open.
Wyche has killed lot of hawks with
the scythe. Sometimes when their feet
are cut they fly away, but this does not
happen often. Almost always they at
tack the steel with their beaks, or
swoop against it and are slain.
