Washington, July 19.-The Ameri-

the naval powers OF the world, Only
Great Britain surpasses it. France.
which for many years has held second
place, has given way to the United
States, while Germany, long a rival
Of the United States, is also surpass-
ed.
The wonderful strides made by the
United States navy are set forth by a
statement just prepared by the navy
department.. 1t gives THE rating OF the
worlds naval powers Great Britain
maintaining its policy OF supporting
navy equal to the combined forces
OF the two strongest naval powers.
easily holds first place. In the table
prepared by the Navy department the
United States Is ranked third, but on
the basis of the fleet as it exists to-
day the United States would be sec
ond. Only when vessels under con-
struction are included in the estimate
does France surpass the United
States table it gives total which
puts cur navy i'm second place, with
clear lead over France.
The fighting ships of the American
navy aggregate the enormous total
of 6S5,OOO tons Other vessels embrac-
ing a tonnage OF $4,000 are under
construction The total tonnage, built
and building, aggregate $4,000 The
best France can show against this
is built 629 900 tons; bnilding, 172.-
900 tons; total sol, 900 tons.

source of 'worryto the government has
cen distanced by the Un6ted States in
the matter OF naval strength. The
kaiser has total tonnage available
1t present of $4,000 tons. He has
building 100000 ions OF warships, Civ
mig him total force OF $4,000 tons.
At the tine of the Spanish-Ameirica an
war, GermVny's navy was much
stronger than that of The United
States. The great boom given to our
navy f5llowing the struggle with
Spain resulted in overhauling Ger

Alleged Thief Appears to Have More

SANTA ANA. March 4.-Clyde Tay-
lor. a we'll known character about town,
was arrested this morning and put in
Jail, and tomorrow a complaint charg-
ing felony will be sworn out against
him.
Taylor. it is alleged, went to Judge
J. w. Towner's barn after midnight
last night and stole the judges auto
mobile, but after taking it two blocks
found the crank was missing and then
returned to Towners residence and
awakening Mrs. Towner told her he
had lost the crank of his machine,
which he explained was the same make
as that owned by Judge Towner, and
asked for the loan of a crank to get
his automobile in action.
He was turned away empty handed,
as Mrs. Towner did not recognize him
and was afraid to open the door. Later
Taylor went to a house almost directly
across the street, and after trying in
vain to start the car with a crank from
a washing machine he found in the
back yard, awakened Max Reinhaus,
the householder, and tried to borrow an
automobile crank.
Reinhaus telephoned for an officer,
and investigation discovered Towner' S
auto where Taylor had left it near the
curb on West Fourth street, having
dragged it by hand for several blocks.
Taylor is an old offender, and only two
months agone was arrested for petty
larceny, but relatives came to his aid
and settled the matter out of court
