Twenty-four inches is the extreme

The workmen enter the shaft at the

People on Earth.
None Of the great nations of the
earth is half so proud Of itself as the
little colony of Barbados, a mere speck
in the Caribbean, which calls itself
"the little England Of the tropics"
Alone Of all England's West Indian
isles, Barbados has belonged to Eng
land ever since it was first colonized
by white men. 1t has never been CON
Quered by the enemy, as the others
have been. This fact naturally gives
the B%arbadians a good conceit Of them
selves and indeed makes them just
about the proudest people on earth.
England was hesitating whether she
should attack Russia the Barbadians
sent this message to the cabinet:
go ahead. Don't be afraid Barba
dos is behind you"
King George was offered an asylum
by little England when Napoleon
Bonaparte proposed to invade Eng
land.
IF you were driven from England"
the Barbadians wrote, "come here. You
will be safe with us to protect you"
When England was suffering her
worst reverses in South Africa the
Barbadians were not worried. They
knew that if matters really reached a
crisis Barbados would go in and finish
the business" as n of their newspa-
pers seriously put it.

Dancer to Navv

Washington, June l5.-Danger for the
United States navy turks in the ship
yard crisis, and President Roosevelt is
aware of it. More than one dozen war
ships of various types are under con-
struction in the various yards of the
United States Shipbuilding Company,
and If the affairs of this corporation
become further involved their speedy
completion is threatened and the naval
progress of the United States may be
retarded. No consideration will be
shown by the administration for the
persons whose financial blunderings
have brought the affairs Of this corpor-
alton to q point where the defense Of
the nation is nterfered with.
In every contract for war ship there
is provision that in the event of de-
lay or inability in the completion of the
craft the government may take it out
of the hands of the contractor and
complete IT elsewhere. Danger lies in
the probable action of directors of the
company in the event the government
should try to take away any Of the
war ships. Such action, it is feared,
would bring forth an injunction from
the creditors Of the shipbuilding COM
pany prohibiting the government from
taking the ships
