I do the officers and enlisted men of

States.
''In speaking to all Of you I want a
chance to say a word of special recog-
milton to the gun pointers. The shots
that hit are the shots that tell. They
are what make the navy prove itself
equal to any need. am happy to say
that the American seamen have never
been, found, deficient in the fighting
edge, the first requisite of the fighting
man. I do not praise you for being
brave; that is expected. The coward
is to be condemned rather than the
brave man to be praised.
Il expect every one to show perfect
willingness to die rather than to see
the slightest stain put upon the Amer
lean flag, but in addition you must
know how to fight as we'll as know how
to die. Then you Will be what | be-
lieve you. are, the most efficient fight
ing force in the world. I again thank
you for what you are. A peculiar re-
Vsponsibility attaches to each and every
one Of you. It has been a pleasure to
see the ship and the guns, but above
all, the men behind the guns" ~:

CHEAPER TALK ACROSS SEAS.

The of the receipt at San Francisco of
the first messags from Honolulu the Pacific
cable suggests the interesting question, How will
conigrams affect the of messages? asks
the New York World.
In peech at Sydrey, n. S. W., last Tuesday night,
Marconi remarked that while his first with
Canadian government to send wireless messages at
ten cents word he thought it probable the charge
would eventually come down cent per word
Side by side with this put Mr. Henniker Heatons
statement in the current Magazine of Commerce that
cable messages could and ought be for
per word He points the garing inequality of the
present cable rates under which messags from London
the Cape sent for less than half the charge for
from London Lagos. which is but half the Cape
Mr.. Heaon has long urged that the British and Ameri-
governments should join hands, purchase and inter-
Raonalize all the great AngloAmercan cable systems
make cable uniform and cheap all distances
To lay cable costs $1,000 per mile. A
atlantic cable represents investment of SO 600 600
A wireless telegraph system be established across
the Atlantic total cost of 100000 highly
probable therefore that in the future the cable
lines whether they remain private become public
property will find it necessary greatly to reduce their
charges in order hold their against the
cCnigrams.

WOULD BRITAIN FIGHT FOR THE MONROE
DOCTRINE?

How greatly changed within sin gle generation is the
British view of the Monroe doctrine is shown by the Wig
words with which Lord Charles Beresford in
versaton with reporter in London refers the Vene

1T has taught government lesson-that it must
try its hand again at such game without the
partnership Of the United States. do not say word

the Monroe doctrine but "by heavens, willing to
fight for it,
Admiral Beresford is typical British aristocrat,
typical fighting sailor typical Tory popular idol
the New York World. He represents dominant British
public opnionjust during Maximilian's Inflated
tempt Mexico the London Times represented British
opinion expressing the hope Napoleon would
puncture the Monroe doctrine for all time This surprs
ing change results from a better understanding
l. That the Monroe doctrine is historically of British
sanction, with Monroe and Canning joint authors
That in of general it safeguards Canada
from attack by any European power
That it is the security of British trade in South
American countries such as Brazil where rapid immi
grafton might lead annexation European countries
and diferential tariffs.
From the wish tor see the Monroe doctrine smashed
to the willingness fight for it is indeed striking
change for John Bull.
