Great Britain'S Defense Policy
 Concerning United States
NEW GROUPING OF NATIONS
Distinguished English Statesman Writes an Able Paper-Great Brit ain May Never Take Up Arms
 Against United States.

By fhe Right Hon. Sir Charles W. Diike, Bt M. P.
 Copyright in Great Britain and United
 States, 19O5)
 The recent remarkable changes in Great Britain's defense policy, officially ex plained in various ways. or as strikingly left unexplained by vague ministerial statements. have real meaning of widest international moment at this time, when new grouping of the powers seems im- minent and of more particular interest and importance to the two great English speaking people. These changes mean, as is proved by facts which can be set forth, that the present British govern ment frankly and profoundly believes that Great Britain will never again wage war with the United States.
 In the case of Venezuela most dan gerous complication between the United Kingdom and the United States, by which
 the opinion of both nations had been ex- asperated, melted away and the arbitra- l ton on the Venezuelan question contrib uted to tho happy relations which now exist between the two greatest naval pow
 CTS of the future.
 l MT. Balfour's recent statement of the results arrived at by the imperial defense 1 committee of his cabinet was divided by him into three parts. The first, home da fense, resting on the predominant fleet, he expounded at great length; the third, the defense of India and the future of l Afghanistan, he sufficiently explained. l The second he omitted. It was to have been concerned, he told us both before and afterwardss with colonial defense. I The heading, Colonial Defense. stands in the middle of the speech, and covers about one-twentieth part of its contents. | All, however, of substance that is found under 1t is an answer to my inquiries on the single case of the abandonment | of St. Lucia as a defended station; and l this answer does not contain a policy; | but only asserts that Jama1ca would be 1 better" As, however, the backyard at l Jamaica has been closed, as the whole | of the West India garrisons have been re-
 duced to the lowest point consistent with the maintenance of social order in time | of peace, 1t is obvious that MT. Bal four felt himself unable to give the req
 sons which govern policy in this part

 the admiralty explaining the new distribu- ton of our fleets appeared. when the naval
 stations at Halifax and Esqumalt were virtually abandoned we were only told

run tend to lasting peace Had there been any hope that Russia might regain the command of the sea against Japan it would have been difficult for France to have been behind Germany in support of her ally. and friction between France determined though she is on peace) and ourselves would have resulted. So, too, any dismem berment of China to the ad- vantage of Russia or Germany. protested against by the United States in pur- suance of the policy of the open door. II aintained by the United Kingdom and Japan. but followed by a declaration that America would not go beyond the mere expression of a wish might also have caused a certain coldness between the rress and people. though not between the governments, of the Englsh-speaking powers. As things stand, however. the success of the Japanese arms does not seem likely to cause the government of Japan to change it's policy or to set up demands inconsistent with the trade ob- iects which. as regards China. the Uni ted States and Great Britain pursue in common with Japan.
 l am not. as a rule. among the most sanguine of the observers of the policy of nations. but on the present occasion may, for that very req son. allow myself L. express the hope that the new group ings of the powers which may follow the close oi lne Tar eastern war may rather be in the nature of alliances of guar antee of status quo. combined with simul- taneous reduction of ornaments. at least In the Pacific than fighting alliances look ing towards war.
 That Germany would refuse to bind her self not to station more than a. certain limited force in the Pacific ought not to from bar to such an arrangement as I suggest. inasmuch as the powers who were parties to the undertaking might take note of the facts concerning the dis tribution of the powerful German squad rons, and set them against mere theory. T. Is so certain that Germany will keep the bulk of her fleet in home waters, as the best means ofsstrengthening her dplo- macy. that her refusal to come into an international arrangement might safely be treated. as, having little bearing on the naval situation. 4 merica has hither- to shown a most .lauda ble reserve in the matter of alliances, She has. however, become what we style far eastern power

ourselves and the United States will be
 settled by arbitration, or at least with
 out resort to arms. When the alliance of the three Emperors was in it's strongest
 force, and at a moment when the rulers of Russia and of Prussia were acting to- gether in everything and swearing eternal
 friendship, Russia built her quadrilateral iH northwestern Poland, and Prussia ex- pended vast sums upon the Notifications of Konigsberg. The military and naval advisers of governments take, indeed, but little account of temporary friendships, however close. It is their duty as prud- ent men to prepare for a future which may be very different and not to be caught mapping by the formation of new groupings of the powers. Our govern ment have stated in both houses of par liament that when war breaks out" or. less clumsily, when need arises" men and machinery for our West Indian and American dockyards will be sent out" Every sailor knows that the navy will pever undertake such convoy at such times, and that this explanation does not meet the possibilities of dangerously

that concentration had become desir-

that Concentration had become desir- able.
 It seems mere idle burying of heads in sand to pretend that we are unaware of the real meaning of this great change
 At a still later date we had a debate on navy estimates, in which the secretary of the admiralty said few words which were more important in the information shed upon the subject than was the Primo Ministers speech, but which. unlike inc speech, attracted no atentlon It was ex- plained that the admiralty had not given Gp the policy of possible protection of trade routes by local patrol and that Bermuda. alone of our transatlantic naval stations was to be maintained. This fact shows that the withdrawal of the gar rison from St. Lucia, formerly considered most important on account of it's con Venienee for the future Panama canal, the closing of the dockyard in Jamaica and the similar steps which have been taken generally throughout our American stations are based on policy rather than upon mere strategy AS patrol bases they would still be used.
 It is clearly the view of the present government, and the matter is one in which their decision cannot be reversed by their successors, and is. therefore. final, that all future differences between

fleets We shall never be able to count on the benevolent neutrality of European powers, and must either have our own coaling stations or be in a position to
 seize and occupy temporary bases Tenn porary bases far from home are, how ever, not always easy to find-witness our blockades of Brest and of Toulon- and are always drag to the fleet at the commencement of a war Everything has to be conveyed and conveyed to them, and it may be asserted that the need for protected coalng stations is still as great as it was shown to be in a pre- vious state of naval policy by the Car narvon commission. The argument of the British admiralty that circumstances have changed through the greater radius of action of modern ships may affect some bases, such, for example, as Wei hai-we, but does not affect our West Indian stations when considered all to- sether. These facts once more show that the grounds for the change made must be political gather than strategic.
 The belief, then, of our government as to the permanence of good relations be- tween ourselves and the United States stands established by the facts, as does tneir confidence in the friendiness and love Of peace of the French republic by the conventions recently concluded. The completeness of the Japanese naval vic tory gives ground for hope that these undt' standirgs between ourselves on the one hand and France and America on the other will not be exposed to the strain to which continental Intervention, nomi- nally fer peace, but really on behalf of Russia, would have subjected them. Japan may think it necessary to continue the war until. by the taking. of Vadivostok, she has deprived Russia of the tempta- tion to renew the struggle after a few years. However friendly we may be to peace, it is not for us to weigh upon Japan in a decision with regard to which the Japanese may plead that continuance of war at the moment may, in the long

You Get Up

In the morning tired, 1anguid, and frequently with headache that is almost unbearable. You have been nervous, restless and sleepless night after night, and gloomy and irritable during the day. This nervous exhaus- ton affects the heart, lungs and otherforgans that ;depend upon the nerves for motive power. Then the sstotnaOh fails to di- gest the food; the heart action is weak, and circulation poor, and the kidneys and liver in- active.
 What you ,needis not stom- ach, head. kidney or liver med icine, but Dr. Miles Nervine to soothe and feed the nerves and build nerve tissue.
 ''My wife was subject to severe mem tai strain which resulted in o, nervous ers spells, which increased to such an ex- tent that for over year she would have a spell every day of from four to six hours duration. She required the constant attention of her physic- ian and attendants. She suffered great pain and anguish. The best physicians attending her could give no relief, and she finally became almost of unsound mind. As last resort I neEan giving her Dr. Miles Nervlne. and Tonic, and noticed that ber spells next day were not so severe. and they gradually dis appeared altogether. She has had no recurrence of the spells, and is gain ing in health and strength.

Dilke's Career.

The Right Hon. Sir Charles " Dilke, Bart, Privy Councillor, IL. NJ. J.P., MP, is the leader of the centre liberals who hold the balance in the present lib- eral party in the British Parliament.
 He is recognized by all parties as one of the ablest opponents of British foreign policy and a statesman of sound views. The conservatives and liberal unionists look upon him as the critic of their naval and military policy most to be feared, because of his wide technical and general knowledge, and also on account of the influence he exercises in those matters on the Whole of the liberal party. He is fre- auently taken itno the confidence of the present teonservative1 government on questions of foreign policy. He was con- suited in connection with the Anglo French agreement, particularly with re- gard to the Newfoundland question. Born in 1Sl3, he has had a most distinguished career in politics and in public life gener- ally He has been under secretary of state for foreign affairs. president of the local government board, twice president and twice vice president of the Cambridge Union society. and was chairman Of the royal commission for negotiations With France in 1SS0-2 He is a first authority on international politics. and has written several standard works. but he very rare ly writes in the public prints. He enjoys the confidence of all sections of the lib- eral party. alike of the followers of Lord Rosebery with whom he differs on the question of imperialism: and the support CTS of Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman. with whose ideas on retrenehment as re- eards defense expenditure he is unable to agree.
