RussIA's NAVAL POLICY.

Everywhere preparations for war, and much earnest talk about them. The head men of Russia want big fleet, but it is thought the Duma will oppose this policy though perhaps not for the reasons that move the Russian Admiral Rojcstvensky to op- pose it, He has not forgotten the ob- ject lesson taught by the promptitude of the Japanese onslaught at the out break of the late war. In his recent interview with Parlsian journalist, in which he expressed his dlsapproval of the policy proposing the immediate reconstruction of a mighty Russian fleet, he said: Suppose that, as q mat ter of fact. the ships were put on the stocks. Japan would at once assume the offensive and take from us tho north of Sakhalin, the mouth of the Amur, the Ussur and Kamchatka. If this new war broke out, we could not count on France, since she, being bound by the entente cordiale. could not join in a struggle against Japan, the ally of England Are we ready to sacrifice the milliards which those battleships would cost? Let us spend them, but let it be for consolidating our land army and strengthening our land defences We shall thus more eflicaciously preserve our possessions in the Ear East.
 This Is plausible reasoning. Ger. many had a big army before she had much of navy England has biz army and a big navy. The United States has a small army and q com. parativcly small navy, but both re. markedly efficient for their sizc

MRS. WHITES WONI<.

It takes a woman to meet an emer- gency. They are telling in Missouri how Mrs. Janc White, who lives near Macon in that state met tho ono that confronted her Mrs. Whitg was left a widow nine years ago, With six small children on her hands, and q forty acre farm on which there was a mortgage of $500. She did not ad- vertlse for husband, nor did she ask for ncighborly assistance, She rolled up her sleeves and went to work to educate and make home for her children. She plowed the land her self, tended the crops and reaped the grain. She raised hogs, cattle and other sock, and in five years she had paid the mortgage on the farm, cloth- cd and educated the children and had money in the lank.
 No wonder Missouri Is proud of Mrs. White, And all over this coun- try there arc women doing their duty as hravely and completely as Mrs. White did hers Her sex Is some times called tho superior one. Per haps it always ought to be.
