ON THE MESSAGE
Comments of the London Newspa-
pers on President Roosevelt's
Message to Congress.
REGARDED As A STsTESMANLIkE,
HIGHLY COURAGEOUS DOCUMENT
A Majority EditoriaIiy Approve the
Advocacy of strong Army aud
Navy In order TO Preserve "rhc
Peace OF Justicc"-some, How
ever, Dissent.

London, Dec. S-The Daily Tele-
graph pays tribute to President
Rooseyelt's courageous recognition OF
thorny problems, and says:
1T is positive relief to contrast
his virile language on the subject of
foreign policy with the anaemic feml-
ninitles which find shrlll utterance in
England"
The Standard says that on the ques-
ton Of a strong navy President Roose-
welt will carry with him the sympa-
thetic concurrence OF most English
men.
I'VE see in this message the words
OF Police Constable Roosevelt OF the
international police" says the Daily
Chronicle In an editorial, the sentence
concentrating the aspect Of the mes
sage OF the president OF the United
States which most forcibly presents
itself in that journal
On the whole. the press of London
regards the message as a statesman
like, highly courageous and notable
document, which the Morning Post
ventures to think will do more than
any public utteranCe of recent years
to increase sympathy between Britons
and Americans" following this ex-
preston with the passage from the
message where President Roosevelt
speaks of his foreign policy AZ one
for which the English speaking world
will now and hereafter be thankful.
A majority Of the newspapers edl-
torlally approve Of President Roose'
yelt's advocacy Of strong army and
navy In order TO preserve "the peace
of Justice" and acquit Mr. Roosevelt
Of any jingolsms,
Some, on the other hand, consider
The message injurious TO the Ideals OF
disarmament and arbitration. The
Daily Graphic for example, thinks the
message will strengthen the advo-
Gates of bloated armaments in every
COUNTRY

Toxic, Dec S.-Completely riddled by
the Japanese shells fairly rained upon
Port Arthur harbor from 2O3meter
hill, the Russian battleship Poltava has
sunk at its anchorage. The battleship
Retvlzan is also so seriously damaged
as to be practically out Of commission.
The Poltava, one Of the finest yes-
sells in the cars navy, was an armored
turret ship of l09G0 tons, carrying four
I2-inch twelve 59-inch and thirty-four
small caliber guns and complement
of 700 men. 1t went into commission
in 1898, costing nearly SG,OOO,OOO.
The Retyizan which has figured
prominently in the naval engagements
of the present war is a l2,7oO-ton bat
tleship. armed with four l2-inch,
twelve 6-inch, twenty 3-inch and TWEEN
ty-three smaller caliber guns.
Another battleship in the harbor has
so heavy a list as to indicate that 1t
will be of no value in fight. The
Japanese observers on 203-meter hill
have not yet been able to determine
the ships identity.
There are reports that the cruiser
Bayan is aground.
