BRITISH NAVAL
PLANS CHANGED

ia, London, August 26.-Premier Asquith
impaired to the house of commons this
afternoon the results of conferences on
imperial defence held recently in Lon
dom, His statements confirmed in every
way the information already given in
these dispatch es. The only new point
of interest relates to the proposed re-
modelling of the Pacific fleet, which
both Australia and Canada tn ink should
be of appreciable strength. The re-
modelled fleet will consist of three
units, the East Indies, the Australia
and the China squadron, each unit to
be composed of large armored cruiser
of the Indomitable type, three cruisers
of the Bristol type, six destroyers of
the River class and six submarines. 1t
las been arranged that New Zea lond
and Australia present the empire with
vessels of the Indomitable type instead
of the proffered Dreadnaughts, and
these ships will form part of the Fa-
cifc fleet. Subject to the approval of
the Canadian parliament, 1t was agreed
that Canada sh ould make a start by
building cruisers of the Bristol class
and destroyers of the River class,
making use of both Pacific and Atlantic
ports for this construction work.

Judging from a recent article in the
Washington Post the society woman of
the large cities leads a strenuous life,
indeed. She is described as being SO
busily engaged in planning her costumes
and with her social duties that she has
little time to keep abreast with the af-
fairs of the day. Hence a novel exped-
ent which is told of thus in the account
is gaining popularity.
THE claims of the time of woman
of society in the swiftest whirl of Lon
don life," the story goes, "are now SO
great that she cannot be expected TO keep
up with the latest news of the world, the
smartest talk about the new books or
even the latest notes of fashions. With
her social duties and their necessary
preparations she has her hands full. 1t
is to supply her with these necessary at
tributes of conversation that intelligent
young women in London are devoting
sometimes daily, and while their patrons
are In the hands of the hairdresser, dress
maker, etc, they talk to them about the
interesting affairs of the day, telling them
just what is new in politics, art and liter
ature In this way my lady is able to
acquire sufficient information to appear
with credit. 1t sometimes happens that
one of these universal providers of small
talk may literally coach her employer for
some particular function she is going 10
attend perhaps dinner that will demand
a certain amount of acquaintance with
politics. or science or literature. Her
duty is to make these subjects as clear
and comprehensive as she can in as short
a time as possible. So successful has this
new field been that the number OF In
telligent. well-informed girls who now
earn a good living in this way has great
" increased during the last year. II the
woman of society finds that she needs
to have decided opinions ON any particular
subjectsit is the duty of her mental stimu-
liant to have them also on hand. 1t is
not to be doubted that some resourceful
woman will introduce this same system
of Frightening up the minds of society
in Washington next winter"
While this, of course, can hardly be
taken seriously. it offers clever sugges-
ton.

and not for scientific purposes. Coeain-
ism is peculiarly an American vice, as
has been stated in previous articles The
bulk of it is manufactured by American
chemists, and the greater portion of the
stuff manufactured is used by its Amer
lean slaves. Its cheapness and the ease
with which it can be taken through in
halation, without recourfe to the hypo-
dermic needle of morphine or the outfit
of opium smoking, have given 1t such
popularity that the drug seems to have
shifted from the profession of medicine to
the mre of vice. Cocaines reputation at
present is more than shady In every
