that the Canadian Church has erected
the two archbishoprics Of Ontario and
Rupertsland. in England itself it is only
by act Of parliament that a province
and an arcnbishopric can be created. In
fact. the consent OF parliament is even
needed for the creation Of a bishopric in
England. while an order in council
that is to cay. Of the privy council
is sufficient for the creation Of suffra-
gans or for bishoprics outside of Eng
land.
For some time past a bill has been be-
fore parliament for the creation OF a
bishOpric Of Southwark destined to re-
lieve the Bishop OF London of some %
his work. But the Southwark bishopric
bill has been held up by the govern
ment itself. owing to the conviction that
il is inadequate 10 meet the require

entire problem will be dealt with more
satisfactorily by the creation OF an
archbishopric of London.
King Edwards hand is apparent in all
this. For where questions OF pTerogative

Austria Recognizes Queen praga.

In view OF all that has taken place.
Il is somewhat strange and unexpected
that the first visit paid to any foreign
country by King Alexander OF Servia
and Queen Draga. since their marriage,
should be 10 Austria. and that the first
foreign government by which they have
been welcomed abroad with royal honors
has been that OF Emperor Francis Jo-
seph j must be added. however. that

The latter was founded in 1856 by the
royal monk, George Brankovich. whose
father. the last Car OF old Servia. had
been blinded by Sultan Murat II. after
the destruction OF the Servian empire.
and ended his days there. The mOnas-
terry gradually became a center OF Ser
Wan national piety. hallowed by many
venerable Servian traditions. and IL was
there that Emperor Francis Joseph
caused Milan 10 be entombed under
magnificent monument, when the exiled
King died at Vienna, abandoned by his
only son.
There is a certain poetry in this pill
grimage Of the present King of Servia
to the monastery founded by the son OF
the last Emperor Of Servia. whose throne
was destroyed by the Turks more than
four centuries ago-at a moment when
Servian Macedonia, a part Of the old
empire OF Servia. threatens 10 join with
the remainder OF Macedonia In revolt
against Turkish rule.
The more prosaic aspect Of the affair
is the recognition OF Queen Draga BY

A Naval Program.
Wisdom of Building Ships on a Fixed
and Definite Schedule.

anu
There Is much to be said in favor
of the proposal made by Representa-
tive Dayton, looking TO the adoption
of definite program of naval con
struction.
What Mr.. Dayton suggests IS that.
prior to the meeting. Of the next Con
gresS, the Secretary of the Navy, the
Naval War College. and the general
board Of which Admiral Dewey Is
president, communicate information
10 Congress which may be of assist
ance in formulating a program. Mr..
DAYTON wishes to know first of all
whether such a program Is feasible;
if il Is, how long il should run, and
how many ships should be authorized
each year; and, finally, what steps
should be taken regarding the person
mel Of the navy.
OF course, no Congress could take
action binding upon its successor. But
il may safely be assumed that each
Congress wishes to legislate with some
reference to what has been done, and
also 10 what may be needed later. 1t
is obvious that more may be looked
for from n symmetrical plan, shaped
by the advice of experts who are
thoroughly familiar not only with the
needs of our own navy, but with all
the progress that Is being made IN
naval construction and armament
than would be possible for Congress
committees, however good their inten-
tions, who made plans on their own
responsibility, guided solely by their
OWN wisdom.
The building of German warships
Is now in progress upon a plan
shaped by the government several
years ago, and which has yet several
years to run. The same plan Is fol
lowed by Great Britain and other
naval powers.
The United States might well adopt
it. So far as American methods of ad-
ministration permit. Not only Is this
important as regards the building Of
ships. but also as regards personnel;
for we cannot put our ships into com
mission. even those already author
lied, without more adequate arrange
ments than have yet been made for
ollieering and manning them.
Lovers Of peace need take no alarm
from the suggestion Of a continuing
program OF naval construction. for
unless the United States is 10 20
wholly ont Of business as a world
power it cannot get along without a
navy that keeps pace with the require
ments of the times.

London to Form an Archbishopric.

London to Form an ATchbishopric.
Bishop Ingram is likely to be elevated
ere long to an archbishop through the
transformation OF the Episcopal see Of
London into an archbishopric. He will
have st. Paul's for his cathedral, the
county OF London and Middlesex for his
province. and there are 10 be bishops
not mere suffragans. but full-fiedged
bishops-for each Of the twenty eight
new boroughs. and one for the county Of
Middlesex not included in London.
This scheme. which is almost enough
TO take away the breath OF the old-fash-
toned member of the Church OF England.
has been rendered necessary by the
phenomenal growth OF the British me-
tropolis. the population of which, Dor
dering on 1000. 900, is nearly double that
OF Portugal. three times that OF Greece
and surpasses by 1900, 900 that of the
Netherlands and by ,O0O, 900 that of Bel
GUM. II is easy TO realize from this
that the British metropolis has become
far too large to be efficiently admins
tered by single bishop. even il assisted
by several suffragans. since the powers
Of suffragans are necessarily limited. A
measure is therefore shortly to be sub
mitted 10 parliament providing for the
transformation Of London into an arch
bishopric on the lines which l have de-
scribed above.
Il is interesting to point out that this
measure. which is said to have the full
approval of the crown. the government.
and Of the lords spiritual in parlia-
ment. will constitute merely the revival
of a former archbishopric. For the see
OF London is considerably older than
that OF Canterbury. founded by St. Au-
gustine, and the FIRST sixteen prelates
who exercised episcopal sway over Lon
don bore the title of archbishop.

This Is the remarkable editorial dec

which the political enemies Of the Hon
Tom l.. Johnson. the popular mayor of

a candidate for governor in Ohio or in
