How Germany Builds a Navy.

S%A
While appropriations for the United
States navy have been more or less
buffeted about in committee and on the
floors, of the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives, we have had in recent
years a very conspicuous example OF
the beneficial results accruing from a
continuous and regular naval shin
building policy, such as that at pres
ent under way in the German empire.
Beginning with 1898 the Germans have
been acting on a definite program
worked out for several years in adj
vance. 1t has been known far ahead OF
the time of beginning construction Just
how many vessels of the various classes
were to be laid down each year, al
though later acts have much increased
the numbers and sizes. The act of 1898
contemplated the acquisition Of a navy
including 20 battleships, eight coast
defenders, IL large and 20 small cruis-
ers, besides six d~estroyers, to be laid
down annually. This total nclude a
number OF ships already in existence
and work was prosecuted on the 9TH
ers at the rate OF two or three large
ships each rel In 1900 a supplement
tary act increased the battleshtps to
38, III large cruisers to IA and the
small cruisers to 3S. In 1906 the large
cruisers were increased to 20, and the
destroyers to be aid down each, wear
We're raised from six to II. In 1907 the
active life OF all vessels was declared
decreased to 20 years, after which new
construction would fill the place or
each vessel so retired, without such
construction being included in the reg
ular list for additions to the navy.

Truth and
Quality

appeal to the Wen-Informed in every
walk of life and are essential to permanent
success and creditable standing. Accor-
ingly, it is NOT claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir of SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but ono of many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it ~cleanses,
swcctens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any facilitating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
It acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all objection
able substances. To get its beneficial
effects always purchase the genuine
manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co, only. and for sale by all leading .drug~
gists. la

POLICE METHODS IN WARSAW.
Arrested All the Men of a Certain Name
and Imprisoned Them.

warsaw Correspondence Pail Mall Ca
zette.
sherlock Holmes would not find much RI
praise In the methods employed by the
warsaw police when trying to trace Grim
mans. An instance of their brilliance is
now making all those not Immediately con-
cerned therein laugh. Some time ago Mr.
Hautke, a manufacturer, was shot while
leaving his works, and the murderers
could not be found.
The other day rumors ran through tba
town that one of the criminals was named
Mal1ckl. The police heard this rumor. OH
tanned the addresses of all males in War
saw bearing this name from the munich
pal address bureau, and arrested them
without delay.
Then they sent for the murdered mans
relatives, confronted them with some hun
dred Malickfs In turn, and asked, sis this
the mar who murdered Mr.. Hautke? 2" AS
none OF Mr.. Hautke's relatives was with
him at the time of the murder their an
swers WERE. without exception. II cannot
say and they were finally dismissed.
But the Malickis were not SO fortunate
and are still under arrest pending further
inquiries. Some of them begged the rela-
tives to say they were implicated in the
murder, SO that they could at least he let
out on ball. AS 1t Is. though they declare
they know nothing of the crime, they are
packed in cells Xix herrings In a barrel
and are likely to remain there till the real
cuiprits appear.
The incident sounds more like ono !,
GogoIs sattres on Russian bureaucratic
methods than OF plain fact. All the Ma
lexis vow they will employ their frst
hours OF liberty in tracing and lynchinp
those who foated the story Of their i'm
plication in the murder.
