AID TO BLOCK GER MANY
CANADA, TO OFFER SHIPS
TO THE EMPIRE.
Dominion Uishes, HO1~eUcr, to Keep
DreadnOughtS an Home Waters
Ercept IN Emergencies.

ottawa. March 26.-The semi official intima-
tion that the government is about TO offer
tonal assistance TO Great Britain probably in
the form of one or two battleships of the Dread
nousht type, has been received throughout Can
ada with hearty approval. Members of the gov
ernnent and of Parliament to-day received
many messages from all parts of the Dominion
expressing approval of the proposed action, and
urging that the assistance offered be on a gener-
ous scale and consistent with Canadas claim of
heing the premier self-governing colony of the
empire.
There has been a growing feeling throughout
the country since the South African that it
was not consistent with national self-respect
that the Dominion should enjoy the protection
of the British fleet without contributing to the
expenses of maintaining the force required for
the empires defence. There is also among Ca
nadians a widespread feeling cf resentment tow.
ard Germany, which has been growing since
Germany declared tariff war on Canada. When
this country gave Great Britain a tariff prefer
ence Germany imposed a surtax Canadian
products, which answered by Canada en-
acting Prohibitive tariff against Germany's
products.
The government would have preferred to wait
a few years before undertaking the expense Of
cooperating with Great Britain in naval or
military affairs. as the credit of Canada recently
has been heavily pledged. but it thought
that the governments existence would be jeop-
ardized If it did not express the feeling which
has been suddenly manifested in the country
Canada will make clear in the message which
is to be sent 10 the British government, that
she desires to give aid along the lines laid down
at the last Colonial Conference where Canada
held that whenever aid was given the mother
land. il must be by the voluntary action of the
Canadian government. approved by Parliament
The disposal of the money voted for battle
ships for any other purpose must be con-
trolled by Canada, thus assuring the continued
right of Canada 10 the full control OF her affairs
independent Of the wishes of the British au-
thorties, 1t viii be with that limitation that
the British and Canadian governments Wilh sum
dertake TO work out plan under which Canada
can give adequate and useful aid. II, as is the
popular wish in canada to-day the Dominion
should place orders for the construction Of two
Dreadnoughts they will not be turned over 10
the British naval authorities. but will be main
tained by Canada in conjunction with naval
training system in Canadian waters In time Of
trouble they would be placed under the direction
Of the British Admiralty for service in any
waters The details OF Canada's plan, however.
cannot be announced until the wishes Of the
British government are known and Canada has
been Informed Of the most acceptable form her
ma val assistance might take.

Washington March 2s-The last vestige Of
the Roosevelt order taking marines off the bat

away to-day when President Taft, after the
subject had been considered at cabinet meet
ing directed that order be issued restoring
the marines exactly the same duties that
they performed prior 70 their being ordered
ashore.
An order was issued the day before President
Roosevelt went out Of office restoring the
marines to ships, but placing them under the
orders Of the captains of the vessels on which
they we're TO serve. Under the old order Of
things the marines had specific duties. one
of these was TO fight certain guns Of the second
airy battery. The order placing them under the
direction Of the captain made it possible to
assign them to any sort OF duty and to deprive
them Of fighting any part Of the battery In
restoring the old regulations. the President
acted upon the recommendation Of the general
board Of the navy.

BRITAIN GR4TIFIED.
Government WelcOmeS Offer of
NaraI hid from Colonies.

London, March 26.-Great interest was shown
at the Admiralty Office to-day in the report
that Canada would make an offer Of naval
sistance to Great Britain. This. with the actual
and prospective offer Of Dreadnoughts from
other British colonies. notably New Zealand and
Australia. has opened up new possibilities Of
naval expansion. The action Of the colonies
gives a practical view to the long cherished
dream of imperial federation.
The naval programme outlined by the First
Lord OF the Admiralty contemplates that the
home government shall have fourteen vessels OF
the Dreadnought type by the end of next year.
Since this programme was announced New Zea-
lands offer of Dreadnought. fully equipped,
without cost to the home government has been
accepted Australia while making the
SPECIFIC offer of a Dreadnought. has given as
surance that Australias resources Will be at
the disposal Of the home government in time
Of emergency, though the people Of the
monw ealth are urging the government to make
a specific offer of a Dreadnought and large
popular subscriptions being raised for the
construction Of batteships.
Whether it will be feasible for the colonies to
control the movements OF their warships in
time of peace naval experts not prepared
to say but it is thought that a plan could be
devised by which the colonial Dreadnoughts.
though part of the British navy. could. be
assigned to duty in colonial waters. In the
aggregate, the colonies could probably furnish
six Dreadnoughts in case of emergency.
