will recall the session of parliament
which dealt with the last British
naval budget, the largest in the his
tory of the nation. Emperor William
of Germany, it was reported at the
time, addressed a personal COmmuni-
cation to Lord Tweedmouth, who had
charge of the naval end of Englands
welfare, asking the latter to cut his
naval budget. This story was not de-
MED, but talk of it was so avoided by
officials that the British public today
believe that the letter actually was re-
ceived 1t aroused criticism from all
Britain. 1t is said that the kaiser
realized that the two biggest nations
of the old world must keep pace with
each other in this line, and perhaps
feeling that a large expenditure by
Germany was not advisable, realized
that the only avenue of exit from such
possibility was to see the British
budget reduced.
President Roosevelt's feelings on the
matter we're amply told in the record
of the last congress when he tried to
get that august body to appropriate
for four new warships. However, there
there were too many men of peaceful
and public buildings inclinations
among the wearers c. the toga and
they dealt solar plexus blow to the
project, from which it only half re-
covered-to the extent Of two war
ships. Both of these vessels have
already been launched.
With Japan, the little terror OF the
far east, furnishing up its navy, the
probabilities are that the powers may
go even farther next year in expendi
lures for warships, and the only block
to the great amount expended seems
| to be the devising of some new mode

CLING TO THE PETTIcoAT.
American Women Are Slow to Adopt
the "Knicker."

In spite of the pre-eminence of d.
rectoire modes the petticoat still re-
tains it's hold in the affections OF
American women.
The lingerie petticoat is, in fact,
more a thing of beauty now than be-
fore its prestige was threatened by
the "knicker."
1t is developed in batiste and sheer
linen and is nearly always finished
with Spanish tiounce of lace or en-
broidery.
This fiounce is generally attached
by ribbons and the petticoat ribbon
has now become an item in woman's
dress.
OF late lingerie makers have in
cluded dimity in the list of petticoat
materials and use it just as they do
mulls and sheer muslins.
Dotted swiss is still regarded as one
Of the daintiest Of materials for the
petticoat fiounce. And the fanciful
bordered effects in this goods are
reconciling many women to the fad
for colored lingerie.
The quality of the ribbons is not re-
stricted and the width Is constantly
becoming more pronounced.

the brim. Sometimes a wreath OF

crown.

their crude canoes and then the

elapsed and big nations fought from

A New SwindIe,

Wealthy farmers of Armstrong and
Westmoreland counties, Pennsylvania
have been victimized by a brand new
confidence game. Recently a man in
the garb of minister called at the
farm of w. B. Templeton, near Adrian
and asked for lodgings for the night
Templeton, impressed by the stranger,
readily consented. Next morning, be-
fore the stranger departed, man and
woman hurriedly drove up to the farm
house, and said they had heard that
preacher was stopping there. They
wanted to get married at once, and
the minister" performed the cere-
mony.
Templeton and his wife signed the
certificate as witnesses. A week later
the alleged marriage certificate turned
up in the First National bank at East
Brady as promissory note for $500,
which Templeton had to pay. A num-
Der of other farmers have been swim

given to the world, and by the exer-
tion of bits of imagination here and
there naval experts declare they fore
see one of the strongest navies which
ever kicked up spray in the Pacific.
Here's the way it's being done, this
being the official announcement given
out by the Japanese admiralty bu-
reau at Tokyo:
"The Japanese admiralty has de.
cided upon a large scheme Of rearma-
ment instead of building new ships,
the ornaments of the old will be
altered so as to bring them into line
with the most modern ideas and with
the requirements indicated by the war
with Russia. Thus vessels of the
Mikasa type which have hitherto car
ried four 12-inch guns and IA six-inch
will henceforth carry four ten-inch
instead of IA six-inch, so that their
principal armament will be brought up
10 eight pieces of heavy caliber In
fact, their fighting strength will be
doubled. Similarly in the case of YES
sells like the Retvisan, taken during
the war, their new arament will con-
sist of four 12-inch and four ten-inch
pieces, the latter being substituted for
the IL six-inch which these vessels
originally carried.
when the programme is carried out
it will have the advantage of creating
a thoroughly homogeneous fighting
force.
"First-class cruisers are to be added
to the navy. These ships will have a
displacement of 1850 tons with a
horse power Of $4,000 and speed of
rs knots. They will be $50 feet long
over all with 80 feet beam and draft
of 25 feet. Their armor will be seven
inches and their armament will con-
sist of ten 12-inch guns, some six
inch and ten 4.7-inch. One of these
ships is to be built at Kure."
Every year naval efficiency is
reaching higher plane and experts
declare it to be a physiological GER

warfare on the water must come. That
has been the trend of events from

THE TURBAN AND ITS BRIM.
Popular Headgear Is Seen In Many
Different Styles.

The tIrban so much in vogue this
season, is a round hat with close
fitting brim that turns perfectly
straight upward to height of from
two to four inches. The brim meets
the crown exactly or within a finger
space. The turban is fiat across tha
top, the width of the top being from
eight to ten inches.
The toreador, or Spanish turban,
is an exception. The turned.up brim
comes only to about two inches OF
the crown, which is oblong in shape
from front to back.
The toQue is jaunty, small hat OF
many shapes. 1t may be round like
the turban If 1t have a height of brint
rising above the crown on the left
side. The back Of a toque dips and
clings to the head. The front varies
in width in different models. 1t may

Peionolrs Usually Elaborate

So light is the line between summer
tea-gowns and lingerie peignoirs that to
the uninitiated it seems almost nom
existent. The chief difference is that
the negligee, so called, has not even
an apology for a collar, and that the
tea-gown, although frequently cut v
or square in front, is carefully trimmed
and so treated that the back of the
neck is not exposed. Peignors never
have coat effects and their sleeves are
flowing nondescript affairs, whereas
those of a teagown are always of q
distinct type, such as the puff, the
angel or the classic.

Of course every country maintains
land force, but all realize that the
best move against an oncoming enemy
is to beat them to the battlefield, and
as a consequence, the usual approach
being water, the navies of the world
