REGAIN Naval Supremacy.

LONDON. July In an address
that aroused unbounded enthusiasm al
the meeting OF the London chamb 4
OF commerce, Admiral Lord Charles
Beresford demanded that vigorous
measures be taken to regain the naval
supremacy OF England and outlined a
plan OF naval expansion which he said
he had submitted TO the admiralty
and which contemplates the building
OF 10 Dreadnaughts in addition 10 'ho
four provisional ships already provid
ed for before March 81, 1914. and q
practical doubling OF the immense sea
force Of Britain.
THE situation is much more SER
ious than Is generally known. said
Lord Beresford, but there is no re
cess!ty for precipitating a panic"
He then proceeded 10 outline his
scheme OF naval expansion, which m
cludes 10 Dreadnaughts In addition
70 those provided for, Professionally
this year. 10 second-class cruisers, IL
commerce protecting cruisers, 2i
ships OF a new type, similar 10 de-
stroyers, but built on a larger scale,
4 floating docks, for the building and
repairing OF the larger classes OF bat
tleships. particularly the Dread
inaughts. and the enrolment OF 5000
additional men In the navy for the
purpose OF manning new naval vessels
and stations.
All OF this Lord Beresford estimates
would cost IN the neighborhood Of
1875. 100000 or s300,000,O00.

The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1909-06-01

The victory of the vets in Peters
burg Is remarkable In two respects;
nrst, In that victory was achieved
at all, In thefaee OF the trend toward
prohibition which has prevailed
everywhere in the State in all recent
contests; and second, in the majority
attained.
We cannot but believe that she re-
snls is the outcome OF better man
agement and better organic alton
shan has prevailed elsewhere. In
Petersburg the campaign for the
saloons was not conducted solely
and entirely by the proprietors OF
she local saloons, as has been chiefly
done elsewhere, but the business men
and business interests of she city got
together and conducted and man
aged the campaign as business
proposition. We cannot believe shat
she sentiment in favor of the open
saloon is so much stronger in Peters
burg, as the result OF the election
would indicate, than it is In other
places where contests have been held.
The outcome must therefore be the
result OF better methods Of defense
and attack.

The newspapers continue to dis

perhaps exOlaiDable by reason OF the
fact that the question Of revision 1.
she most important now confront
ing the American people. The Lit
erary Digest In Its weekly review oil
press comments has a discussion Of
the votes OF Democratic senators
against revision. The following
paragraph gives an Idea OF the
views of some Of the leading papers
along this line:
ut IL not necessary Co point out" says

that was needed"
The Richmond News-Leader en-
dorses the votes cast for protection
by Virginia's senators on the theory
that eight-tenths OF the people in
this State desire protection. We
cannot agree with the News-L Leader
and we think Is nearer right TO say
that six-tenths oppose. There are
