 The Japanese armored ships repeat edly sailed across the bows of the Rus sian fleet. concentrating their entire fire on the leading ships, smothering them with shells and sinking one lead CT after another. Torpedoes were fired from battleships and torpedo boats, literally by the score.
 The British maneuvers of this year in the Mediterranean vainly sought q solution of the problem facing a slow CT fleet whose bows have been cross ed by a swifter one. equally powerful in other particulars. The conclusion reached was that its defeat is almost a certainty; all it can hope to do is inhict serious damage on it's enemy.

Dewey on Lessons of the War.

Admiral Dewey gave as the lessons of the war just ended, More big ships. more big guns and good shoot ing. The American navy needs more than anything else battleships of 1S.- 900 tons. carrying 12.inch guns, with few light three-inch guns for de- fense against torpedo boat attacks" Rear Admiral Evans, commanding tho strongest American fleet ever gathered together. favors 1S,0o0 tons as min imum. with sustained sea speed Of IS knots, that is. trial trip speed of 20 knots or more.
 this question will be fought bitterly. By the end of 1906, in the opinion of Brassey's Naval Admiral. the United States will have reached the position of second naval power, with France and Germany in full pursuit anxious to regain that position. In view of the fact that until the Panama canal has been completed the country must sustain two fleets on stations about two-months steaming apart, and In view of the national stand on the Monroe doctrine. and of the further fact that all possible enemies have concentrated their fighting ships near their home ports, men prominent in the naval service believe that congress should not call halt on size or tho numoer Of ships it authorizes annual ly' Tor some years to come They urge that if economy is necessary. ths unarmored warships, as they reach the point where repairs become inn peratlNe be laid up in some quiet navy yard, there to remain until they arc tinkered up on account of wars or rumors of wars.

 four 1O-inch and 12 6-inch guns, bet
 ter armament for long distance fight ing than the Connecticuts.
 The Jiji Shimpo says the future bat l tleshtps of Japan will displace 22,000 | tons, have an armament of 14 12-inch
 guns and speed of 20 knots. while the future cruisers will displace 15,O0O tons and have a speed of 25 knots. The Nippon newspapers list of war ships about to be laid down in Japa- | nese yards includs two battleships of | 1S.000 tons. three armored cruisers of 14,oO0 tons and one of 13,00O tons. The battery Of the latest ships un- der construction In Russia is four 12- inch and 12 S-inch guns.
 The battery of the Connecticut class of six ships, is four 12-inch. eight S-inch and 12 Finch; of the Idaho class. of
 two ships, four 12-inch, eight S-inch and 10 Finch. These S-inch and '. Inch guns are of great value in actions fought up to two miles distance. their penetrating power at three miles is
 only equal theoretically to 1-2 and
 inches, respectively. about the usual
 thickness of side armor over guns; be-
 yond three miles they would only dent
 such armor. Moreover, the krupp ar nor of the Russian and Japanese ships which have been examined show
 ed very few perforations indeed, but
 many scars. proving that the theoreti- cal calculations based on range target
 practice exaggerate the power of the
 gun, and that blows striking perpendi-
 cularly on armor are rarely dealt in battle.
 In American battleships for years the element of speed has been subordi- mated to those of armament and ar
 nor. It Is the general belief of those who have studied the results of the Russo-Japanese battle that belt armor thickness can safely be reduced. par ticularly in the United States and
 French navies. which have used par tlcularly heavy armor; and they also believe that one or two knots superior speed, other things being equal. will give the swifter fleet the victory in case there is a lee shore preventing the slower fleet from edging away.
 Togo planned his battle so as to use the Japan coast as this lee shore, head ing off Rojestvensky's escape His fleet sailed to the attack from a Kor- can port. Had he chosen a Japanese port for his base. Rojestvensky's fleet would have had more room to maneu- yer in and the result of the battle would not have been SO one-sided.

BABY AT THE TELEPHONE.
An Illustration of Young America in
 the Far West.

Young America acquires the tele- phone habit early. The Portland Ore gonian relates this instance: It was a Seattle child, not yet 3 years old. who, having been punished by her mother called up her father on the telephone for sympathy. Papa" was the call that his stenographer heard on answer ing the ring. Why. it's the baby" she said to her employer. The startled man. with visions of disaster in his mind, caught the receiver and said: what is 1t. baby?" Mama banked me" came the reply.

Port Arthur. Only once was the thick belt armor of any of theseships pierc- ed by a shot. This points to the use lessness of the six-inch gun. the chief component of most battleships' arma- ment.
 Admiral Dewey goes so far as to say: At a range of three or four miles your eight-inch guns are nothing but so much dead weight upon the ship. You might as well be firing with a pistol That was what made the Span iards so furious at Manila. We pick ed about our range and they were ashore and helpless.

NINE NEW CASES.
Typhoid Reported to the Health Office
This Morning.

Nine new cases of typhoid fever were re-
ported to the health office this morning.
Eleven all told were reported yesterday.
three of them after The Stars report
closed. so that at 1 o'clock this afternoon
the nsmber OF Washingtonians stricken
with typhoid fever since July 1. from which
date the severity of the present outbreak
has been most marked, totals 361. Yester-
day the number Of patients entered on the
records as discharged from treatment al
most exactly balanced the additional new
cases reported, so that the only increase
in the number of patients under treatment
is occa asioned by the reports of today. Two
hundred and sixty eight persons. the high
est point yet reached during the pre-
vailing outbreak, were under treatment for
typhoid fever at 1 o'clock today.
At this season last year the typhoid fever
situation was the source of much apprehen-
sion as may be surmised when 1t is stated
that on August %, a year ago today. there
were nineteen cases reported, and after
ward. during August and September. the
number suffering from that disease steadily
increased.
? Health Officer Woodward said today that
he would not feel justified In making too
optimistic a prediction regarding the pres
ent outbreak of typhoid fever until he had
a slow but steady decrease in the
number of cases under treatment over a
period of ten days or more.

Social "PulI" at College.
From Harper's Weekly.


One of the difficulties that some Of the
larger Of the eastern colleges have Is to
make birds of different feather flock to-
gether irrespective of their plumage Thus
the dean of Yale reports to President Had
ley that one of the worst evils in Yale is
the segregation of rich students in expen-
sve dormtories. Evidently this evil re-
suits from a propensity of the same sort
that which inclines rich people in New
York to huddle together on 9Th avenue, or
as near 1t as they can get Dean Fisher
says the worst of it at Yale is that 1t brings
together, especially in sophomore year,
"those who aim to form the society sets
whose chief purpose in college is popularity
and social recognition" To room In the
expensive dormitories is thought says the
dean, Ito help ones chances of social ad-
vancement and this is undoubtedly true. +"
We have the same experience here. The
9TH avenue people have a conceded social
advantage of location. IF the social hon
ors of college are to have any value" adds
Mr.. Fisher, "aR men should have an equal
chance to gain them Maybe they should
but certainly they don't. We fancy that
in the big eastern colleges such things go
partly by inheritance and association and
are bound so to go. just as they do in great
measure In even SO untramme.ad and cos
mopolitan a city as New York. Hereditary
pull goes a good way socially In the
older colleges nowadays.

MAKING DREAMS USEFUL.
Daily Life the Main Factor in Causing
Our Night Time Visions.

From the Medical Record
A F. Gibson presents an exhaustive
analysis of the physical and psychical basis
OF dreams. He sums up his views in part,
follows: To sum up the argument.
dream and waking differ in degree and
form of manifestation only. not in prin-
ciple and essence. Like waking conscious
ness, dream reveals, but does not create.
The same world that surrounds the waking
Individual surrounds the dreaming, only the
viewpoints and media of observation are
changed.
AS the life experience of an Individual In
his waking consciousness receives its char
acter and value by and through his power
of response to environment, so in a similar
way the value of dream depends upon the
power of the Ego to respond to conscious
ness In its various forms of emotions. ideas
and feelings which constitute the environ
ments of the subjective or dream plane.
Waking or dreaming. the individual is. or
becomes, what he chooses to be at any
given moment of his existence.
The background for ordinary dreams con-
ssts of undigested remnants of waking

undigested life, being made up by longings.
desires. anticipat lions. idle hopes and mis-
mind during the day. are overtaken by sleep
before having reached their fruition. Hence
the mixture, in most dreams of the sane
and the insane. of truth and delusion.
On the other hand, the life lived out and
assimilated in a purposeful existence be-
comes absorbed in the formation of char
acter and leaves no residue to form the
bizarre staging for the confused dream.
And to such an individual the intuitions of
dream life, with their dazzling imagery Will

preted, may carry the Significance of pre-
