Young Mr.. Connette comes from New

BuildinY of Warships.

There are now building in the navy
yards of the United States government
and in the private shipyards of the
country under contract eleven battle
ships, eight armored cruisers, eight
protested cruisers and number OF
smaller craft. AS rule, the construc'
ton of all these ships is behind time
though the contract time for their con
struction is longer than in other coun
tries. Why is it that it should require
more time to construct warship In
this country than in Great Britaini
Years elapse between the laying of the
keel of big battleship in this country
mission. 1t is safe to say that if ships
of the same tonnage and power are
contracted for in this country and in
Great Britain at the same time
the British ship will be completed and
in commission before the American
ship is half completed toward launch
ing.
The principal trouble lies In the lacb
of competition. This has been so ap-
parent in the manufacture Of armOi
that the government has had to hold
the threat Of building a government
armor plant over the heaCs of the prl
vate manufacturers of armor to pre-
vent their entering into combination
to put up the price of armor to pro-
hibitive figures. The latest naval ap
preparation bill carries an item Of 81,
100000 to be used by the secretary OF
the navy in the erection Of an armol
plate factory in case armor cannot be
secured for ships at fair and equita
bic price, and this threat Is expected
in measure to prevent the private cor
porations from holding up" the gov.
eminent in the price Of an article which
the government must have.
The contracts for building large ships
in this country usually call for compile
ton Of the ships in about forty months,
but this time Is frequently, If not usu.
ally, extended for one reason or an.
other to about five years. In certain
types of ships in consequence, the yes
sci is almost obsolete at the time OF
launching, and in any event the mate.
rial Of which she is built has deteriO
rated greatly during the long period
in which she is lying on the stocks ane
awaiting equipment after launching
The average life Of warship is TWEEN
ty years, and after that time has
elapsed she is considered obsolete un
less practically reconstructed. The
time consumed in building is, therefore
one-tifth of the life of the ship from
the date Of the laying of her keel
This is matter that could ant
should be corrected by the secretary
of the navy with the assistance Of con
gress, and the work of correction shoult
be begun at once.

Submarine War Boats,

1t is said that Great Britain is now
development of the submarine branch
of her navy. The admiralty has de-
cided upon submersible torpedo boat
which can travel for long distances on
the surface at a high speed and can
at need dive entirely below in about
six seconds and can reach depth of
100 feet. These boats are to be of 200
tons displacement. During the present
year the French navy will have thir-
ty submarine boats in commission.
and Great Britain expects with.n a
short time to complete nineteen.

For Peace In the Balkans.


If the signatory powers keep faith
with each other, the new Turko-Bul-
garian convention which was lately
signed in Constantinople should bring
peace to the Balkans Besides provid-
ing for amnesty to all Bulgarians COM
promised in the Macedonian rising of
last year, except persons guilty Of
using dynamite; the repatriation of
refugees, the removal Of frontier re-
strctions on Bulgarian travel and
trade and the application Of the Aus
tro-Russan reform scheme, 1t contains
an agreement on the part Of Bulgaria
that the government will suppress rev.
dictionary movements in her territory.
This latter provision is of primary
Importance and the one most likely to
be violated. For years the Bulgarian
government has closed its eyes to the
activities Of the Macedonian revolu-
tionary committee, which, by the way,
is as choice gang of trouble makers
rs was ever got together. IL 1t will
henceforth deal with the members of
this committee In accordance with the
pledges of the new convention, there
ought to be no trouble about putting
the reforms into operation The com
mittee, however, has published the
fact that it is not satisfied with the re-
forms proposed and will soon renew
the guerrilla warfare. 1t will then be-
come incumbent upon the Bulgarian
government to take firm stand in
suppressing Macedonian disorders
within its territory.

BULLET PROOF OINTMENT.
10 Commands q High Price Among
Russian Soldiers.


A number OF reservists Of the Rus
sian army from Perm. Russia, on en-
training at Tchelabinsk for the far
east were observed to have In their
possession small bottles, of the kind
provided by the state for vodka. filled
with curious greenish substance, says
the London Mirror.
A few days later some soldiers were
noticed dyed a deep olive green. ami
an inquiry was held. Some Of the sol
diers admitted that before leaving
their village wise woman named
Lietkin had sold them, at ruble a
bottle. a holy ointment, the chief in.
gredient of which was marrow taken
from the bones Of saints buried at So
loviets monastery. near Archangel.
The ointment rendered any one
smeared with it bullet proof, and as
the soldiers expected that the Japanese
might attack their train at any mo-
ment they were preparing.
1t appeared that the less fortunate
soldiers had begged to be allowed to
buy some Of the ointment, and the
farther the train got east the higher
rose the price.

GIRLS AND FLAG SAlUTES.
Chicago Army Mems Suggestions on
This Subject.

This Subject.
How shall girl salute the flag?
This question, unanswered by the
president Of the United States, elected
the following solutions the other day
at army, militia and educational head
quarters in Chicago, says Il dispatch
from that city:
BY stopping her conversational machin-
cry minute
BY rising and standing at respectful at
tention.
BY prostrating herself on the ground.
This refers to subjects in less civilized
parts.
By throwing kiss.
By smiling and bowling.
BY courtesying, as is done in some coun-
tries when women meet priest.
The first proposition met most APP
proval.
Il don't think it would be possible TO
make a woman salute the flag" said
Major Funkhouser of the First regi-
ment, Illinois national guard. 1T is
not necessary. A woman's patriotism
is too well known"
The chief clerk, Mr.. Michaels, of the
department of the lakes, said:
"A woman is not recognized in the
army. In camp no regulations as to
saluting the colors apply to her. If a
woman is in the company of officers OF
men when they are required to salute
she should stop talking for minute
rise and stand at respectful attention
The women of Porto Rico, after the
surrender, were forced to salute the
flag. Sentries compelled them to bow
before the stars and stripes. If WON
en- cannot think Of any other way
courtesying would be a good sugges
ton"
In the public schools there is no gen
eral rule for saluting the flag. The
Flag Day association several years
ago sought to have children drilled il
a flag salute. The form was a military
salute, followed by repeating a pa
triotic verse on the glory of the flag.

TUCKER MAY BE
ELECT0R AT LARGE |! Ar. G: I:
He IS Being Urged BY Friends,
Available Gubernatorial
Timber.

Hon. II. st. George Tucker, OF staun-
ton, is being urged by his friends for the.
position Of cector at large on the Demo
cratic ticket this year.
n The State convention, the date Of
which is to be fixed by the State Demo-
cratic Committee when 1t meets In this
city on the Goth, will have among other
duties to select two electors at large,
one of whom Is usually chosen from the
eastern and the other from tho western
section of the State. These positions are
usually much sought, especially BY gem
tlen1en who contemplate becoming 5candl-
dates for State elective officers In the
ensuing or any other elections. 5
The suggestion OF Mr.. Tucker for this
position is therefore Of some significance.
He has already been urged as an avail.
able man for the governorshp, and 1t is
possible that he may run, in the event
that Major William A. Anderson does
not. In no case will BIO both candidates
for position on the State ticket, however:
THAT may be authoritatively stated
Major Anderson Is almost sure to be n
candidate for the goyernorship or
the attorney generalshlp, but his friends
do not yet know for which position no
will be a candidate. It may be that Mr..
Tucker will not aspire to the governor
ship next year, but MS aspiration LOT
the clector at largo indicates tina he
means to re-enteri public life actively,
and It would seem that he intends as
piring TO State office.
5 Mr.. Tucker served several years In
Congress as representative OF the Tenth
Virginia District, and besides making a
fine representative. proved himself ono
fof the most effective stunpers In the
state. He IS a fine tinker" among tho
people. ind when he went out on a
stamping tour there was usually some
thing doing'' He would mako a fine elec-
tor at large by reason of his familiarity
with national politics, cleaned during his
long and prominent service in Congress.
