passed many miles north of the town.
In Marquette the residence portion
west OF the main street suffered the
principal damage. The houses in the
course of the tornado were all with
two or three exceptions completely
wrecked. In this section there were a
rumber of modern residences, out OF
which only enc home, that of r. j
Thompson, was left standing. The

churches were among the first build
ings struck and they, together with
The parsonage adjoining the Methodist

from death. The infant daughter oi
Charles Salon was lifted in her bee
and carried to the middle of the
street, receiving only few scratches
Salon and his wife were seriously in,
iured.
The mattress upon which the baby
daughter of Rev. Smith lay, was
doubled up in such a manner as tc
cover the child and protect it from
falling timbers. In spite of the de
struction of the Smith house the en-
tire family escaped uninjured.
Mr.. and Mrs. o. S. Ellvin were car
ried on their bed distance of 50t
feet and laid down without being seri
ously injured.

In the present case Mayor
Dunno says he can enforce law and
preserve order with his police.
Surely. a city Of Over a million
people, equal in number to many

protect itself from a lawless mob.
The difficulty, however, is that
the strikers have the sympathy OF

the same element as the strikers.
1t is not forgotten that when the
military we're called out to put
down the Garments strike in this

he may be forced to call upon the

like Illinois, with her FIVE million

would do its duty. But no citizen

OF all great nations, the United

curiously enough, is reached by

RuasIa,a New Navy.

[e6N AaN 0rA~d
Without waiting for the outcome
OF this impending struggle the
car is said to have gone into the
preliminary plans for a new navy
which, according to reportsfrOm
st. Petersburg, will be more pow
erfnl than any that now sails the
seas. He has been in conference
with our own "Charliev Schwab
for several weeks, and it is said a
plan has been agreed upon that
was proposed by the American
steel king.
Disaster has followed disaster
with such mOnOtonous frequency
that there is little surprise that
the car has decided to spare no
efforts to make Russia mistress Of
the seas il money can do it. The
programme which is said to have
been approved at st. Petersburg
contemplates the construction Of
new battleships Of such proper
tions as will startle the world.
The standard Of the new vessels
will be Of 10000 tons displace-
ment and Of enormous horsepower.
These battleships will be in reality
a new and novel type Of vessel
combining the comparative invul-
nerability Of the ~battleship with
the speed and maneuvering ease Of
the cruiser.
Under the present plan most Of
the new Russian vessels r to be
built in the United States and all
will be supervised by American
engineers. Undoubtedly one Of
the purposes OF giving the naval
construction to the United States
was a diplomatic desire to cement
friendship between this country
and Russia. The contract will call
for an enormous amount Of work
which will require several years
to perform and will occupy all Of
the more important ahipyards in
this country.
It is easy to understand that
Russia hopes for no practical bene-
fit from her new naval plans dur
the present war. If her feet
Should be victorious in the strug-
gle now on, her naval plan will
probably be considerably modified
II not entirely abandoned, But if
the car holds to his announced
purpose it will mean a tremendous
naval activity among all the great
sea powers Of the world. Great
Britain will not abandon he plan
of keeping her navy equal to those
Of any two other nations. She is
already spending great sums annu-
ally in this programme. Germany
while already imposing heavy
taxes for the support Of 3 great
standing army and splendid navy,
must OF necessity increase her sea
strength to meet the changing con-
ditions, and the United States viii
scarcely lag far behind in the race
for supremacy ia this direction.
Thus the cars proposed naval
construction operations will have
an almost universal influence.
When it is remembered that not
many years ago the ruler Of al the
Russians was the principal agita-
tor for universal disarmament, the
irony Of bis good intentions at that
time, compared with the extremity
Of his present situation, can be
easily apprecited.
