some time must elapse before Russia
reaches final determination as to its
future course but it is anticipated that
it is likely to canvass the situation
among the friendly powers with the
purpose of ascertaining the best pos
sible basis for the conclusion of the
war. However, the French officials
do not expect such processes to ad-
vance rapidly owing to the leisurely
methods of Russian diplomacy and the
conflicting internal elements. 1t is
|certain that if Foreign Minister Del
Casse's advice is solicited it will be
exerted in behalf of the re-establish-
ment of peace but there is no indica-
ton that France will take the initia-
tive until definitely requested to do so.

WANTS THEM BACK AGAIN.
Sweden Would Have Her Sons and
Daughters Return Home

According to United States Consul Bergh
at Gothenburg in report to the State De-
partment. the Swedish government is seri
ously considering plans for promoting the
return to Sweden of such Swedish immi-
grants TO the United States as are able to
invest money in real estate. AS a step in
that direction it is proposed to send agents
to the states in the American Union having
the largest Scandinavian population for the
purpose of investigating the conditions
there and using the information obtained
for the purpose mentioned.
One of the proponents says that even now
some emigrants return to Sweden but that
the movement is counteracted by unfayor
able conditions there-such as defective
judiciary conditions. and the bureaucratic
state of society, which repels the Swedish
Americans who are accustomed to more
liberal social relations and finally the in
tolerance of the whole public in Sweden.
which does not understand the self-esteem
natural to the SwediSh-American who by
his own exertions has passed from poverty
to good economic circumstances.
He says that these unfavorabie conditions
ought to be changed and that everything
practical ought to be done to promote the
Americans are practical people, with wide
views, hardy and strong men and women,
noted for their sobriety and moral religious
lives; that a greater return of the better
classes of emigrants would also bring more
money to Sweden; that the opinion of the
Swedish-Americans is favorable to such ar
rangements, and that the American author
tiles are too nobe-spirited to put any OBJ
stacles in the way OF such movement.
although they recognize the good qualities
Of the Scandinavian immigrants. The pro
ponent says that arrangements should be
made so that 1t would be easier to obtain
land in Sweden-particniarly government
land-and loans of money on easy terms for
the erection of good homes; that attempts
should be made to bring about the return
of engineers and skilled workmen, who in
the United States have gained good po-
sitions and to invite American capital,
which would promote the utilization Of
Swedish mines, waterfalls. etc. He says
that such connections with the United
States would be of advantage economically
and in other ways.

Thus encouraged he wrote, in collabora-

money for the purpose, and the other fell

1t must be published in more ambitious
style than the old broadsheets, they de-
cided. They even had three-sheet posters
in color printed to advertise it. But that
led to a tragedy.
A Sad Comedown.
'sMy partner was suddenly taken with
what he imagined to be a happy thought
said Zangwill, telling the story years after
ward. Contemplation of these gorgeous
posters turned his brain. Armed with a
paste pot and ladder he sailed forth at
midnight to stick them about the silent
streets of London, so as to save expense.
A policeman saw him at work and told him
to come down. But the unlucky fellow had
a controversial mind. and ile began to argue
the matter from the top Of the ladder. The
result was what might have been ex-
pected-the outraged majesty of the law

The principal of the school had to go and
bail the young fellow out. ZangwiH had

mittee in charge of the school. They
read the poem, and didn't like 1t.
Their final decision was that he must
leave the school or agree to submit
everything he wrote to their censorship.
He didn't want to do either, so he left off
writing until he was able to revolt from
what he has called the 'helish torture of
teaching and go in for newspaper work.
But when, in that rebelious moment, he

Written for The Evening Star.
Fighting ships, more ships, finer ships!
Such is the supreme demand of the nations.
Money beyond computation is being poured
into the huge floating ports which the world
powers are launching. Brains. blood and
all that inventive genius or patriotism can
command are being spent lavishly and I'M
remittingly to build and to improve these
great fighting machines called warships.
increasingly complicated in its machinery,
ever growing in cost, calling constantly for
more speed, greater destructiveness and
greater safety-the naval engineer is al
most bewildered by the problems which
confront him when he is called upon to
design a new ship. The admiralty depart
ments of the nations. despairing of keeping
their old ships in the best fighting trim,
are putting their best efforts into new ships
allowing the old ones to shift for them
selves. Russia, the other day, in face of
the destruction of her Port Arthur fleet
announced that $500. go would be spent
in the next few years on her navy. Great
Britain, although possessing the largest
navy in the world. Yet announced not long
since that her admiralty was designing
battle ship of IL $50 TO 1900 tons, with ten
12-inch guns in her main batteries capable
of firing a broadside of seven s50-pound
shells. able to perforate two feet of the best
existing armOr-in other words, a ship that
would have no trouble in destroying any
thing now a1oat or yet designed.

gears below the protected deck. Each of
the discs is numbered to correspond to
door or hatchway in some vital part of the
ship.
But this is not of course, the important
part of the system. 1t is merely the con-
troller On all the main bulkhead OPEN

that the Colorado Is rammed by a careless
or hostile navigator. The man who is
nearest this emergency station pulls latch

doors are set in motion in rapid succession
within less than two minutes every door is

the safety of the ship and the safety of
her crew. leaving nothing to chance or indi-
vidual initiative, bravery or efficiency. A
man in place of safety above deck presses
button, and machinery does the rest.
Use of Electricity Increasing.
The use of electricity in providing all the
necessities of the ship is developing to an
astonishing degree. Thirty miles of copper
wire are required 10 convey the current
from dynamos to motors to the working
devices. Electricity now hoists the great
shells from ammunition rooms to gun tur-
rets at the rate of 200 feet "a minute. The
same power moves the tremendous guns
into place and an electric button discharges
the deadly broadside.
Electricity completes with the steam and
fire in the hold of the ship. serving as mo-
tive power for ventilating fans in great
number. When it is realized that the tenn
perature below deck often rises to 800 de-
grees Fahrenheit it may be seen how i'm
portant are the fans to the health of the
men. Electricity likewise operates the
ships laundry machinery. it turns the deck
winches, it Eliminates the vessel through
gear-one of the few important parts of the
ships equipment which has not yet sur
rendered to the twentieth century plan.
Men of war now have telegraph systems
of their own, aside from the wireless APP
paratus with which they are equipped. Re-
peatng telegraphs are fitted for the pro-
pe.iing engines, with dials on the work
ing platforms, and connected to transmit
tiers located in coming towers and on the
flying bridges whereby the number of en-
CINE revolutions desired can be readily
transmitted. Other devices make it posi-

Over one hundred million is a lot of
money to spend annually on the navy; it
would be more than reason could justify If
all of this sum was expended on naval in
crease AS a matter of fact, however,
hardly third of the amount asked Of Con-
gress this year for the navy is wanted for
new ships. Estimating the amount to be
appropriated at $1O4.O00.OOO, it will be
divided about like this: $6O,O0OOOO for
pay, coal, repairs and maintenance of
ships. yards and docks; $30,OO0,OOO for
increase of the navy, and s14O00,O0O for
armor and armament.
Secretary Morton expressed the popular
conception of the kind of naval establish

other day in New York: Il am in favor of
a navy SO efficient that no other nation in
the world will want an engagement with
it. 1t Is not necessary that we should

necessary that our navy should be the most

munication between different parts of the
ship is by speaking tubes. This system has
itself been developed to remarkable de-
gree. The captain, from his station, is now
able to communicate with the engine and
dynamo rooms, the torpedo directing sta
tons. lookout platforms, wireless telegraph
rooms and central stations.-s There is AN
elaborate system Of intercommunieation
between all the various parts of the ship.

Another Improvement of great value in

posed drainage system recommended by.

Power Equal to 100 Locomotives.
But II is not alone In the matter of minor
machinery and devices that there is a rush
for improvement. but the very propelling
engines OF the ship are being continually
studied In the effort to make their material
of less weight and their driving power of
greater force. The human mind does not
easily grasp the meaning Of the power con-
centrated In ship like the Colorado. Her
engines generate an energy that equals the
united power of 2Jo.0o0 men. Installed in a
loeomtive engine, II could draw ]. 200 rail-
way cars at the rate Of thirty miles an
