can Englishman,s Home

Apparently an Englishman is never
so happy as when he is scared about
some impossible danger hat he be-
lieves is threatening the empire. When
his fears of war with France are lulled
he has dreams of a clash at arms be-
tween England and Russia or some
other country, while there is always
the nightmare of German invasion
hanging over him. When the English
man gets a good scare, the recruiting
stations of the army and navy are
thronged with men who are anxious
to go out and spill good red British
blood in defense of the Union. Jack.
The British have been having just
such a scare, with the usual result.
The latest scare was caused by a
drama, THE Englishman's Home"
from the pen of Guy du Maurier, the
son of the brilliant George du Maurier,
the artist who wrote "Trllby". and
other successes. THE Englishman's
Home" has been suppressed by the
British censor of plays, after a run of
some weeks, which resulted in having
nearly all of the middle class Britons
shivering with terror. The play is one
of war and conquest, built with a de-
sign Of soaring the loyal Britons into
rallying to the support of the endan-
gered country.
The scene of the drama is in a
"middle-class" English home on a
foggy holiday. The father is playing
solitaire and waiting for his roast
of the family are planning picnics and
tennis games as soon as the weather
clears a bit. The patriot hero, who is
in love with a daughter of the house,
about to be invaded by a foreign foe
The family laughs at him, but he IL
built of stern stun and rushes off tc
enlist. Then the scene shifts to an.
mans home is invaded by the foreign
foe. The IONS are shot and killed
The father rushes to the lawn and Is
shot down. while the house is blown
to pieces by shells. The H~ighlanders
and different royal regiments rush tc
the rescue, but the invader conquers
and he yoke is on the British neck
Clearly the purpose of the play IL
to emphasize what certain military ex
perts have pointed out, England's un.
preparedness for defense against ar
invasion. While. the play does no
name the invader, 1t is clear that Ger
many is meant, and the censor hal
barred the further production of tn,
drama. He is a loyal Briton and will
not stand for any performance, aver
on the mimic stage, which represent,
England as being licked by any ma
ton. However, the play has served
its purpose. When Il was first pro
duced, the British army was shor
about $4,000 men. The scared Britoni
hurried to the recruiting station ant
now the formal announcement is mad,
that the army has been recruited I,
its full quota. Still, the English ar,
wont to look upon the French as al
excitable people.

A GREAT
Some Magnificent Distances by Way
of Contrast.

New York journal of Commerce.
Apropos Of Judge Gary's remarks on the
greatness of this country, a man given to
dabbling in impressive statistics remarked
last evening: Yes, 1t is a great country
much greater than we are apt to realize.
why take one state, Texas. and consider
its ma gnitude. Do you know that the, area
OF Texas ia 25 $50 square miles. which is
equal to 170,O99. 300 acres. Split this into
lots equivalent to those In New York city,
that is to say, twenty per acre, and you
have 3,4O1 $4,000 lots. Now the population
OF the world is estimated at 25o,0o0,00 but
add 20 per cent to make sure nobody will
be left out and the total is 2. 7eo,OOc,OoO Give
every man, woman and child in the world
a building lot in Texas and there would
still remain an excess OF 1904 lots. The
allowance OF twenty lots per acre provides
amply for highways. Yet" he added,
Alaska is about double the size OF Texas"

A general feeling exists in congress
against making appropriations In aid of
expositions in this country. The expo
sition business has been very much
overdone, and the government has
been compelled to foot a good share
of the bills in every exposition that
has been held, with the exception of

tor Hale's WEAKNESS with expositions
had been confined only to those of the
domestic variety, there would be little
opposition to his attitude, but he has
placed the nation in the ~unenvlabIe
light of refusing participation in the
expositions of foreign countries. an
act which Belgium and Austria will
be slow to understand. American
manufacturers and importers who
have been using every effort to in
crease the nations trade in foreign
