NAVAL WORK LAST YEAR.

The London Timess-' review Of foreign
naval work for the last year is gratifying to the
American reader. II is true that it reminds us
that we stand alone among great powers in hav-
ing no naval programme" but ii shows us that
we are. nevertheless, getting on in compara-
.ively good fashion France has g fixed pro
eranlue Of naval construction which viii last
until I90e'0!, Germany's is prearranged as far
as 1915 RussiaTs seven years programme will
expire IN 1a05-06 and she is even now arrang-
fng another TO succeed 1t; Italy's runs from 1901
70 1872 and Japan has Just finished one six
years programme and is beginning another,
America alone lives in hand to mouth fashion
determining each years work for itself alone;
yet this country's showing Of activity for a
year at least for the last year. is the most i'm
posing Of them all.
France was engaged upon no fewer than
twenty-five large vessels, a greater number
than any other had in hand. OF these nine
were battleships. with an aggregate tonnage
of I'D 9ls, and sixteen were armored cruisers,
with a total Of 154.997 tons. Germany sur
passed France in number Of battleships, with
ten, aggregating l23.962 tons. though their aver
age was smaller than Frances, but she had in
hand only four armored cruisers of 35,54S tons
Russia was strongest of the three in battle
ships, with ten, of 132, 75S tons. but had only
one armored cruiser of $500 tons. Italy came
fourth on the list with seven battleships of &c.
974 tons but only one armored cruiser of 400
tons The figures for Japan are not given but
they were inferior 10 Italy's. OF course, the
British navy outranked all these but its figures
are not included In the review
Now for the United States We were at
work last year, according to this same authority,
upon a total Of twenty-four large vessels OF
these thirteen were battleships a number con-
siderably exceeding that of any Of the Euro
pean powers named. Their average tonnage was
IA 1l2 or 4j5 tons heavier than those of France
the next heaviest: and their aggregate tonnage
was 1S3,451 or more than $4,000 tons more than
that of Russia's, which stood next in total
weight. AS compared with Germany, we were
at work ON three more ships than she and near
ly 60,o90 more tons. In battleship construction,
therefore, America was easily preeminent. In
armored cruisers we vastly surpassed all ex-
cepting France. TO which country we stood sec
ond IN numbers and total tonnage, though we
surpassed her In average tonnage. Thus we
had eleven cruisers TO her sixteen, aggregating
10000 tons TO her 154 997 but avera ging IL, $40
tons TO her 9.s25. It may well be contended that
olr eleven big cruisers ar: equal TO her sixteen
smaller ones.
Finally, it Is TO be observed that our grand

As is always the case in largely manipulated
market quotations reacted as suddenly and with
as little logic as they advanced, finally develop
ing more or less rregularity. Aside from fair
investment demand produced by the distribu-
ton of February dividends there was little evil

have grown exceedingly cautious of unexplained

encouraged by the pronounced ease of money.
yet hesitation was introduced into the financial
situation by Treasury absorption of funds and
the certainty of an unfavorable bank statement
Railway earnings were fully maintained at their
record breaking rate and the Industrial securi-
ties received the support of a favorable legal de-
cision regarding the Steel Corporation. Net
changes for the week in the average of the sixty
active railways and the leading industrial and
traction stocks comparatively small but
there were noteworthy gains in the bond de-
partment.
Many consecutive weeks of increasing reserves
IN the associated banks and the restoration of a
more rational ratio between loans and deposits
resulted in an abundance of money available at
easy terms, and produced much the strongest
financial situation that has been experienced of
late in the local market. Although February

Apples Worth SI.25 Apiece.

Eastern Washinston apples on sale
at II hotel In Vienna for 1925 each
were seen by X. Il. Strahorn and
Mrs. Strahorn of this city who have
just returned from an extended
European tour. Mr.. Strahorn said
yesterday: "We had no difficulty
In striking good American dishes
nearest to our hearts, and the cui-
sine was unusually fine. At Vienna
we noticed an unusually fine box Of
yellow Bellfower apples, which,
from the label on the box, we saw
came from eastern Washington. l
told the waiter would like some Of
these apples baked for our dinner.
Before executing the order he stam-
meringly inquired whether l would
be offended II he asked me whether
would like to know what those apples
were worth. l assured him that l
would like to know the price, and
he said they would cost us five marks
apiece, or about sl.25 in our
money. We don't eat baked apples,
you can bet. ."-Spokesman- Review.
