MAR LIKELY TO RESULT.

The fact that the Argentine republic
recently appropriated $75.000.000 for a
naval armament is of more than pass
ing interest. There is no love lost be-
tween that country and Brazil. and as
the latter has made arrangements for a
feet of Dreadnaughts. the future prom
ises a lively contest for supremacy in
South America. The craze for building
warships has extended over the earth,
and nations that cannot pay even the
interest on their debts are accumuIat-
ing battleships. the use of which will
be an additional charge upon the rev.
enues. Perhaps it is well for the great
powers to have great navies. II is
worse than useless. however. for the
smaller countries to bankrupt them
selves in the effort to appear greater
than they really are. The South Amer
