ROME, Oct. Silt has been remarked
that the Pope in referring to Protestants
and expressing hopes Of their conver-
sion invariably alludes to Great Britain,
as the other day when he described that
country as the prodigal daughter end
expressed confidence in her return to
the fold. The members Of his encourage

land sooner or lnter will become Catholic.
A great portion of the Popes daily
prayers are offered for the conversion
Of England. a conversion which he is
equally convinced will lead gradually
to that Of other countries. notably
America The Pope is reported as say

said in this regard that such move would
be adopted only as a last resort.
The efforts of the reform party have
for some time been exerted in another
direction, namely, toward the recon-
ciliation Of certain roactionary leaders.
This has gone so far as TO include Izzet
Pasha, who is still living in London
under an assumed name. This cleverest
of all the Turks, who for decade was the
real ruler OF the Ottoman Empire, has
affirmed his full sympathy with the re-
for, movement, and it is by no means
impossible that he will return to Con-
stantinople within a month and take a
high position in the new Government.
Such paradox seems impossible, but
the difficult situation created by. the
Balkan crisis compels the new regime
to use every resource available for its
self-preservation. No man in Turkey,
it must be admitted. could do - much,
II 30 disposed, to protect the Young
Turks against their domestic enemies.
But the sangfroid which would accept
his cooperation is truly Oriental.
Another feature of the general situa-
ton which causes growing anxiety is
the great pan-Slav movement in Russia
against Austria The Cars personal
sympathies are strongly involved also,
and it is still an open question whether
Isvolsky will be able to win the consent
Of the Emperor to the conciliatory atti-
tude the Baron desires to adopt toward
the treaty wreckers.
The latest from st. Petersburg is TO
the effect that Isvolsky's position is safe

however, for Russia to turn a deaf ear TO
the Servian and Montenegrin appeals.
To do 80 in the present state of public
feeling in those countries would be to
precipitate suicidal war with Austria,
which the leaders of the Austrian policy
would secretly welcome.
The dual monarchy would expect to
absorb Servia as the result of such con-
flict. But Russia, impoverished and
crippled as she is. would scarcely tolerate
this without resort to armed interven-
tion. Russia is wisely using all efforts TO
hold in check the pan-SIav anger with
every prospect ef temporary success.

1t is also stated, among other election

the Liberal candidates, because the latter
agree to make the loan which Gov. Magoon
IS loath to do before the elections, for the
reason that he prefers that the new

of warfare which will render warships
useless.
Of course every country maintains
a 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
are strengthened to their top-most
point. Russia has not yet recovered
from it's set-to with the mikado's sub
jects, but the scrap left the Japs with
a few more battle-ships and splendid
plan for strengthening their navy
without expanding great sums Of
money and contracting new loans.
Going farther into the probabilities
of the new style of warfare which
seems imminent, We may have battles
of the ARA very dangerous mode Of
scrapping to the uninterested specta.
tor below. Probably that would be the
deadliest sort Of combat known, for in
Sinking" an airship every man aboard
would undoubtedly be killed by hard
compact with mother earth.
Then, on the other hand, perhaps
there will be no future wars, at least
among the large and civilized powers.
Of course the barbarians will break
out occasionally, but among the bigger
| nations there are now so many peace
| bodies that one has to walk about
carefully in order not to encounter
doves of peace minus feathers. There
are dozens of international peace and
arbitration societies whose one theme

within a generation or two the world

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 personal communi-
cation to Lord Tweedmouth who had
charge of the naval end Of England's
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 Roosevelts feelings on the
matter were 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 of the toga ana
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

to the great amount expended seems

was the inventor of the biggest move
towards high standard of efficiency
when he perfected the revolving,
armored turret.
What this invention will be one can
only guess and most of to-days guesses
are poor. From present indications,
however, the airship is to be a factor,
and when the inventor turns out an
aeroplane which can carry men and
shells in sufficient quantity to do real
damage. then our impressive battle
ships will be melted into steel rails.

given to the world, and by the exer-
ton 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 wayit's being done, this
being the official announcement given
out by the Japanese admiralty bu-
reau at Tokyo;
1.-THE Japanese admiralty has de-
cided upon 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 12inch guns and IA six-inch
will henceforth carry four ten-:nch
Instead of IA siy-iAch. 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 RetvisGn, taken during
the war, their new arament will con-
sist of four Finch 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
1t 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 so feet beam and a 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
shiEs 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

their crude canoes and then the
Vikings. Several hundred years
elapsed and big nations fought from
behind bulwarks on wooden ships. Eff
forts were then made to put speed into
the sailing vessels. The discovery
of the steam engine helped this.
Then came the eventual discarding of
wooden vessels. This was brought about
in America when the battle between
the Monitor and Merrimac was fought
and the fight in itself marked a step
in naval warfare. The Merrimac en-
