WASHINGTON, Nov. e.--An interest
ing statement showing the relative order
of warship tonnage Of the principal
powers has been compiled at the Office
|of Naval Intelligence, which is intended
as an answer to frequent inquiries Of
persons throughout the country who
have manifested an interest in the
maintenance Of the navy and its rela-
tive strength and Importance. The state
ment shows that according to the ton
mage Of today, Great Britain leads the
world with tonnage of l,833.ll6; the
United States following with a tonnage
of 6ll,6l6; France third with tonnage
of 609,079; Germany fourth with a
tonnage Of 529.032; Japan next with a
tonnage Of 374,70l. and Russia, Italy
and Austria following in the order
named.
However, were the war vessels build.
ing by the various nations now com
pleted, the United States would be third
in the list. with tonnage of 77l,75S
following closely France, which would be
second with tonnage of S46,ll2 and
Great Britain the leader with tonnage
of ls2l,6l0. The other naval powers
would stand in the same relative posi-
tion as they, do with their tonnage Of

And her song was low,
All, morning, you pass away too soon,
You swift to 60.

Love come and drink the sweetness up
Ere it turn to tears"
