FAT pIcklnes AHEAD

| Mess THE FIGURES given in the
Associated Press dispatches rela-
tive to the programme contemplated IN
the naval appropriation bin are ineor-
reet. It looks as If somebody was pre-
pairing for the biggest kind Of rake
OF. For instance, the bill provides for
the construction Of a battleship Of the
first class. It's displacement is TO be
10000 tons, the same as the Connects
cut. Kansas. Louisiana, Vermont and
others now under construction. The
cost is to be $7,775,0o0.
This is more. by s3.500 900. than any
1900 ton battleship now in commits
sion or under construction. Why2 Has
amor plate increased in value since
the keel OF the Connecticut was laid in
1862? The Connecticut is to cost, COM
plete, SAFE, 600. Where does the differ
ence IN value come III? It would be
possible to understand why the new
shin might cost a few hundred thou
sands more, but sS,500,O00 is entirely too
great a disparity. Who is going to get
the money?
In this same naval appropriation bill
we find two frst-elass cruisers Of 1850

Of $3.50, 600 each. The cruiser Nebras-

than $3.50, 900 on drst-class cruisers?
are they TO have goId-mounted guns?
Are the furnishings and trimmings to
be so immensely superior To the other
cruisers as TO be worth upwards of
=, 500, 000 more than they cost? 1t is
difficult to believe this will be the case
Then we are TO have three scouting
vessels 10 cost 100000 each and two
Golfers at $4,000 each. The entire
programme proposes an outlay of S2S,-
SS5. 600. and if some people fail to make
a good thing out of it a good many of
us viii have another guess coming to
us. We want the navy of the United

MORE POWER TO THE JAps.

< ENTIMENT N THIS COUNTRY Is
- so unanimously with Japan in her
fight with Russia as to be worth study
ing.
Primarily the Anglo-Saxon is almost
always with the under deg, and sec
Ondarily the Anglo-Saxon doesn't like
the Russian system of playing the
game. In this particular case Japan
has u grievance that dates back to the
conclusion of the war with China when
the little islanders were robbed OF the
fruits OF their victory after they had
spent their money ana their blood for
victory. Russia, aided by France and
Great britain, made the Japs Telin-
quish their hold on Port Arthur and
Manchuria; and the robbery had hard
" been accomplished before the Rus
SLAMS had seized the territory justly
belonging 10 the Japs. Since then the
car has been steadily promising to
Telinquish Manchuria, and just as
steadily pushing forward his troops
with a view 20 permanent ownership
OF the Chinese province
Right here is where the United States
has a definite, tangible interest in tiae
situation. Before Russia got into Man
churia. Americans were doing a good
Share of the import business. particu-
larly in cotton goods and machinery;
after the Russian occupation, while
Secretary Hay got plenty of promises
as 10 what Russia would DO some time
or other. the promises were not re-
allied. Russia controlled the situation
and was quite willing 10 make a prom
ise every fifteen minutes to keep Hay
III good humor so long as she retained
possession of Manchuria and handled
all the business done there.
Ia reality, Japan has undertaken TO
fight the battles Of all ChristendOm
against Russia, the battle for CONNER
cial freedom in Manchuria, ''the open
door" as it is known, and for this
reason. if for no other, Japan has the
sympathy Of the AngIo-Saxon world.

SOCIETY


One of the most brilliant gatherings
ever held in the city was the reception
given at the University club last even
ing. The large new club house was
thrown open from garnet TO cellar and
was filed during the entire evening
with a gay thrOng of guests. The main

palms on the lodges and all around

and at the north end in the aicOve a
bank Of palms hid the musicians from

In the reading room on the east side
of the hall Frederick Lyon, president
OF the club. assisted by several of the
former presidents, received the guests.
Besides dancing cards and billiards
were enjoyed. and the many spacious
and beautiful rooms were filed with
groups of friends. Refreshments were
served in buffet style in the ladies'
dining room, which was decorated in
green and silver with American Beau
ties for a eenterpieee. Punch was
served on the main floor and also on
the lower floor in the card room. The
gymnasium was fitted up for a Turkish
room and delightful cosy corners and
hooks were found on every hand.
In the rooms above stairs every COM
fort and convenience was arranged for
the guests, and even the private rooms
were open for the wraps and for in
sDection. Altogether il was the most
cordial house warming possible and
made both hosts and guests feel the
beauty and s0lendor Of the new club
home.
The men of the club were ably as

ladies. the supper room being in charge
