| 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 SUBJ
jects, but the scrap left the Japs with
a few more battle-ships and a splendid
plan for strengthening their navy
without e%xpending great sums Of
money and contracting new loans.
Going farther into the probabilities
of the new style of warfare which
seems imminent, We may nave battles
of the air-a 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 o 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
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-
flict 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 it looks dark for
the dogs of war and just as inky for
the men of peace, who would keep the
CANNES tied. But come what will.
within a generation or two the world
IS to be given some new fighting force
which will astound the nations, not in
on the secret, to such an extent that
there will either be an entire cessa-
ton of all hostilities or some two will
get together and n will be made
such a beautiful example of that the
watching nations will decide that Gen.
Sherman was right about war.

THE STORY.

IN the eyes Of the wicked King
L Ahaz, the prophet Isaiah was but
a hinderer and meddler in the
affairs of Judah. When he preferred
to be let alone to manage the affairs
of the nation the prophet would come
with some message which he claimed
had been given to him by his God. And
generally these messages of the
prophet were directed against his evil
wayr, and charged him with leading
the nation into idolatry which would
end finally in severe punishment up
on the nation.
"A trouble-maker, anu u bearer of
evil messages" was the way in which
Ahaz had come to speak of the proph-
ct. What did that somber-robed,
sanctimonious-looking Individual know
about ruling a nation? What business
had he coming around telling him
what he should and should not do? He
knew how he would serve God and he
knew how he would seek favor with
the nations about by fellowshiping
with them in their idolatry. A nation
could not be a law unto itself, and if
the interests of judah were to be Sc
cured, she must make allies of some
of the strong nations.
1t seemed utter folly for the proph-
ct to talk about the favor of God
being Of more value than the favor of
kings, and more than once he had re-
torted that victory seemed to be on
the side of the strongest army, and
pointed with triumph at the increas-
ing power and strength of Assyria.
Il would that the nation had such
an ally" he exclaimed to himself more
than once. "We would then have
nothing to fear from the other ma
tions."
But he knew that Isaiah would op-
pose any such alliance and he feared
the influence of the prophet upon the
nation, for the people believed in him
and would have resented any open vio-

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 way it's being done, this
being the official announcement given
out by the Japanese admiralty bu'
reau at Tokyo:
THE Japanese admiralty has de
cided upon a 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 12-inch guns and IA six-inch
will henceforth carry four ten-inch
instead of IA six-inch, so that their
principal armament will be brought up
TO eight pieces of heavy .caliber. In
fact. their fighting strength will be
doubled. Similarly in the case of YES
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 II six-inch which these vessels
originally carried.
when the programme is carried out
it 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 a speed of
Is knots. They will be $50 feet long
over all with 80 feet beam and a draft
of 25 feet. Their armor will be seven
inches and their armament will con-
sist ct ten Pinch guns, some six
inch and ten 4.7-inch. One of these
ships is to be built at .Kure."
Every year naval efficiency is
reaching a higher plane and experts
declare it to be a physiological GER

warfare on the water must come. That
has been the trend of events from.

history to the time when the Morse.

naval budget, the largest in the his

of Germany, it was reported at the
time, addressed a personal commune.
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-
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 W 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
a possibility was to see the British
budget reduced.
President Roosevelt's feelings on h
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 and
they dealt a solar plexus blow to the
project, from which it only half Pc
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
go even farther next year in expendi-
lures for warships, and the only block
to the great amount expended seems
to be the devising of some new mode

however, the airship is to be a factor,

men fought from RATS. Later came
their crude canoes and then the
Vikings. Several hundred yearo
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-

The sixteenth chapter Of 2
Kings tells us how futile was the
effort Of the prophet to restrain
the king and keep him from ma

then, did God send his servant to

that King Ahaz would not heed?
Why does God to-day send his
messengers to men to plead with
them and warn them Of the fatal
mistake of making alliance with

Why? Because he is "mercifuI

One of the most notable productions
of the local season will be that OF
..Salomy Jane" in which Miss Eleanor
Robson will appear at the Academy to-
morrow evening. Miss Robson, in a
comparatively few years, has reached
the very top of the ladder of theatre
cal fame. 1t has been only little more
than eight years since this actress was
playing a minor role in a New York
production. The next season found her
leading woman for kyrle Bellew, and
q year later she was starring in Il
play of her own. That is mounting the
ladder pretty rapidly; yet Miss Robson
made the ascent without losing her
head-a noteworthy fact. Miss Robson
does not owe her success to a pretty
face, or any special charm of person
ality. She is not one of the beauties
OF the stage. AS nearly every one
knows she is rather a frail looking
little woman, with serious eyes and a
face that is intellectual rather than
pretty. 1t is her work that counts
and her art needs none of natures en-
doWments lof beauty to enhance It's
value. AS matter of fact. the face
that is merely pretty is least fitted to
depict the varying emotions. The
merely pretty" face has only the two
extremes 10 depend upon-laughing and

love, hatred, anger, yearning, grief and
sorrow-are not most adequately ex-
pressed in the pretty face. The actress
