King Edward and Emperor William.

Y MPEROR WILLIAM and King Edward, it is re-
- ported, will have a meeting to talk it over
Both Of these estmable gentlemen have seen at
frst with Indifference, then with al arm, their peoples
drifting fast into state of enmity. The press OF
the two countries is extremely antagonstic and prob
ably does nothing but reflect the feelings of hostility
existing in the public. Now these, conditions have
SO near to that the monarchs see the
danger and will do what they to avert crisis
In this sort of work the elder monarch IS much
more of an adept than the younger. Emperor Wli1am
has never made friends tho he has by the devel
opment of genuine talent for administration gained
the respect Of Europe. On the other hand King Ed
ward has blossomed since his coronation into the
premier diplomat of the old world 1t was his fine
touch which removed the bars to amity with France
He brought about understanding with Italy which
amounted almost to withdrawal by the latter from
empire at home and abroad, brought about peace on
establishment by clearing away some of the rubbish
of suspicion between England and Russia
King Edward has "created'' the role of heredi-
tary PRESIDENT Socially he is popular because his
manners are void of suggestion of divine right.
Personally he is the idol of the English, who thoroiy
enjoy monarch who loves horse race or a cricket
match. ,
He is at the most English OF men and the
most cosmopolitan of kings The embodiment of COM
mon sense, he has done nothing since he became a
king to disturb the balance of power in the state
while he has relieved his statesmen OF large part
of the burden Of carrying the delicately balanced
burden Of foreign relations
If he succeeds in reducing the strain between Great
Britain and Germany he will have done to make
disarmament possible than dozen Hague tribunals.

TO GIVE EMPLOYMENT
FOR MARE IS
LAND YARD URGED.

In special message to Congress TODAY
President Roosevelt urges the immediate
appropriation Of 100000 for work at the
Mare Island navy yard at San Francisco
In order that employment may be provided
for many in the stricken city He also
urges the necessity for the appropriation
of money for the re-establishment of an
army supply station In San Francisco. The
message follows:
ITO the Senate and House of Representa-
tives:
II herewith inclose communications from
the Navy Department and the War Depart
ment IN reference to communications from
Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco and from
other representatives of California With
a courage and self-reliance of which we
cannot as Americans be sufficiently proud
the people of San Francisco have already
started in orderly and resoute fashion to
rebuild the city. Immediate aid in this en-
terprise should be given by the federal gov
eminent. One of the crying needs of the
situation is employment for the scores of
thousands Of men who have lost every
thing If the appropriation of $500 600 for
the Mare Island navy yard be at once
passed over 2,O00 men will Immediately be
put to work, for this appropriation will be
expended only in employing labor
The appropriation Is urgently needed as
a means of contributing toward the re-
establishment of affairs In San Francisco:
1t will also be OF material use to the navy
Furthermore, recommend that the Con-
gress act on the recommendations OF the
War Department and appropriate the
money necessary to establish building as
general supply and storage depot for the
supply departments of the army and the
transport service, on q part OF the mill
tary reservation Of Fort Mason. This

the Rhode Island senator, and at the

ject Of ship subsidy. He said that tho
time for ENCOURAGEMENT. so far an the bill
was concerned. was past-the time for as
sistance was now at hand
In hts judgment the widening and deep

United States had injured to the benent Of
the foreign shipbuilders, so that ships OF
large tonnage could reach the ports OF this
country.

ships, and that the Japanese. by that very
TACT. had become aggressors In the markets

The laboring man. remarked Mr.. Qrosve-
nor. will wake up to the fact some Of these
days that the American merchant should
ship his goods abroad in American bottoms.
and he win insist that these ships should

costs more to man our ships, then the sub
sidy which Is proposed in the bill would go
TAR toward equaHzing the situation and put
