PROMOTION IN FRENCH NAVY
Minister of Marine Giving High
Commands to Young Men.
Trio of Fleet Commanders with Re-
marhabIe Resemblance In Charge
of Three Powerful Fleets.

Paris. Oct l9.-Vice Admiral Germinet.
who was only promoted from the rank
of rear admiral few days ago. has been
appointed 10 the command of the Medi-
terranean fleet. His present appointment
to the most important command in the
French fleet IS without precedent in the
last ffty years.
It is a part of the policy Of N. Thom-
son. the minister of marine, to give the
high commands to the younger men. in
order to assure q more energetic diree-
ton at the maneuvers. and also to give
the squadrons the advantage of receiving
the durable influence Of an able com
mander. whose age will allow him TO con
tinue in the post for some years.
The conventional idea that the senior
in rank should be promoted almost auto
matcally is now openly dis0wned.
The appointment ef Vice Admiral Ger
minet to the command of the French
Mediterranean fleet completes a trio of
admirals who. by a remarkable coinci-
dence, resemble each other, not only in
facial appearance. but in personal char
acteristics. They also command three of
the most powerful fleets in the world.
The other two are Admiral Lord Charles
BeresfOTd and Rear Admiral Evans, who
is known as Fighting Bob" Evans, of
the American navy.
Lord Charles commanded during the
great British maneuvers, which began
on October IA, when his war ships COM
prised the Channel and the Atlantic fleets
the More division Of the home feet and
an additional cruiser squadron.
Rear Admiral Evans commands the
American battle ship feet which is about
to proceed from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific coast.

Melbourne, Oct 19.-SOme very effective
work in the way OF unmasking the nature
Of the new Australian tariff has been done
by the opposition organ, the Argus, in
this city. This paper has been especially
successful in showing how the Lyme
Deakin fiscal scheme hits the purse Of the
worker and the bachelor boarder living
in lodgings.
The tariff had hardly been published
fortnight before the Argus was able to
make the following telling announcement:
Already there is move upon the part
of clearinghouse keepers to raise their
tariffs. and so meet the increases in the
size of their weekly bills caused by the
new duties. Several large establishments
raised their prices for board and lodging
last week, and il is stated that most of
the boarding houses III Melbourne viii
