The Open Turret a Menace to Or Nav,

The Open Turret a Menace to Our Navy
The Needs Of Our Navy, by
Henry Reuterdahl, in the Jan.
uary McClure's is an article
which should staggerthe average
man with a new and distinctly
unpleasant idea. Mr.. Reuter-
dahl points out that many of the
faults of construction which
caused the complete destruc..
ton Of the Russian navy between
one rising and setting Of the sun,
are to be found in our ships.
The most important protec
ton Of a battle-s ship, outside Of
the hull itself, is that given to
its magazines. Never since the
use of powder upon fighting
ships, has there been such
danger to the magazines as ex-
lists in every battleship and
armored cruiser in the Ameri-
can feet. 1t is a first principle.

The open turret is a conical
shaft leading straight down into

Deafness Cannot Be cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infamed condition of the mucous Inning of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inaamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness-is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO It's normal
condition, hearing Will be destroyed forever;

which is nothing but an infamed condition Of

sued statement Sunday, pointing out
alleged violations OF the present in
surance code by the companies in the
recent election of officers and the al
legged inefflciency OF the department
of insurance in conducting the super
vision of the election. The statement
says in part:
THE international committee has
maintained for months in both the
Mutual and New York Life canvass a
force OF watchers and translators and
every effort has been made to protect
tho interests of policyholders who
have voted against the old manage
ments, but the rulings Of the inspect
ors have been so uniformly against us
and being fully satisfied that it is i'm
possible. under the present conditions,
to secure fair count of the votes as
cast. we withdrew our watchers.
From the beginning the companies
with the assistance of the department

The statement .han sets forth in de-
tail the various forms of irregularity
charged, and declares that afiidavits
show it was practced on a wholesale
scale, but these aifidavits, the state
ment asserts, were refused considera
ton. Illustration was given of fam
lily which was recorded as casting five
votes. the statement adding:
Investigation showed that not q

cent election and that they had moi
resided at the stated address in ovel

The statement further says.
Numerous instances developed where
agents had sent in proxies and ballots
bearing the names of policyholders
who had been dead for years, while
many ballots were cast bearing the
names of former policyholders who
had allowed their policies to lapse.
THE officers of these companies
and the department of insurance are
responsible for this condition of af

In the Interest of Univer-

BY AN ENTHUSIAST
W. 7. Stead Maps Out Program
for Arousing Interest in the
Congress at The Hague.

New York, April S.-W. 7. Stead oc
cupied the pulpit in Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, last night and sci
forth his views as to the opportunity
which was afforded to Americans by
the coming Hague conference oi
arousing other nations to sense oi
the Importance of making immediate
progress toward the ideal described
by the phrase "the United States ol
the World"
He urged that at the coming peace
convention IL representative Ameri
can men and women should be select
ed as the nucleus of a pilgrimage ol
peace. These persons would then ap
peal to the American people for theii
endorsement by public meetings oi
signed memorials. Armed with this
evidence of national support, they
would in the first case go as a deputa
ton to the president and to the secre
tary of state, asking them to Instruct
their delegates at The Hague to sup
port the above program.
Then they would approach the Brit
fish ambassador, informing him oi
their intention to start at once for En-
gland in order to appeal to the British
people for their support In pressing
their requests upon the king and his
ministers. The other members of the
diplomatic corps at Washington would
also be apprised of the object OF the
pilgrimage. Then would come send
off banquet at New York and the pill
grims of peace could start in the first
week of May for their tour through
the capitals of Europe.
Mr.. Stead said that there was ne
doubt that they would receive ar
overwhelmingly popular reception In
England, where the ground already
had been prepared. At London they
would be Joined by four pilgrims from
each of the three Scandinavian coun
tries and the Americans and Scandi
navians, together with IL British pill
grims, would present their petition tt
the king at Buckingham palace and tt
his ministers in Downing street. The
SO pilgrims would then cross over Il
Paris. 40
Receptions by the president of tho
republic and his ministers, the mu
