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 its 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 expending 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 ana
arbitration societies whose one theme
is don't shoot" and these hold ses-
sions annually. 1t is said that they
really cement relations between coun-
tries and the time may come when
they will become so numerous that con
aict will be impossible without Staying
brothers. The Hague tribunal is an
other medium of the big powers, al
ways ready to decide little disputes
which threaten to develop into inter
national complications.
AS a consequence 1t looks dark 1or

the men of peace, who would keep the

To Use Old Skirts.

The advent of the tunic, or, as 1t is
called, the overskirt, has given rise
to new economy among women. This
is using up a well-cut silk or satin
foundation skirt to give an lair" to
an overskirt and bodice of a simple
striped material.
A woman who owned a smoke-gr
silk foundation skirt had it carefully
sponged. pressed out and left I'M
trimmed. She bought at the shops a
remnant of gray and white striped cot
ton voile at small price and made
an overskirt and bodice of 1t.
For the latter she used piece of
the gray silk body lining, cutting it
low-necked. taking out the sleeves and
finishing the edges with a tiny point
of lace.
The tunic was opened up the side,
cut to points. put into box plat at
back. and its edges were bound with a
three-inch bias fold Of the material.
The bodice was simply draped over
guimpe of lace and was drawn into
a five-inch empire belt of gray silk
fastened with old silver buttons at the
back.

being the official announcement given
out by the Japanese admiralty bu-
reau at Tokyo:, ..
The Japanese admiralty has de-

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
VIII henceforth carry four ten-inch
instead of IA isix-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 ves-
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
1t will have the advantage of creating
thoroughly homogeneous fighting
force.
"Firstclass cruisers are to be added
to the navy. These ships will have a
displacement Of 1860 tons with a
horse power of $4,000 and speed of
25 knots. They will be $50 feet long
over all with sU'feet beam and a draft
of 25 feet. Their armor will be seven
