If Germany and England should pc
come involved in war 295 of the 5Sa
vessels would be subject to capture
and contiscation by one side or the
other. On the other hand war involv-
ing these nations would drive a large
part of the foreign carrying trade to
the one flag which could accommodate
any considerable portion of it, that IS
the French. America could not ac-
commodate any considerable portion Oh
her own trade, even though her snip
wards be worked over time and every
available vessel be hurried into COM
mission. There is just one safe way to
conduct an extensive foreign COM
merce and that is to own the vessels
in which the commodities exported are
carried. But one way for the United
States to bring this about, presents
itself, and that is through ship sub
sides Ship subsidies are needed more
than any other plan of defence. We
need them for the protection of our
merchants. War would cut off our
European market and the disaster fol-
lowing an embargo of this character
would be nationwide in extent and at
tended by such terrible consequences
that it would be many years before we
could recover.

Many African tribes count snake
flesh among the delicacies, and John
Ward says that with the Australian
natives "a dish of snakes is a much es-
teemed luxury" Many kinds of birds
eat snakes. Pigs are particularly fond
OF them. as also are some deer; but in
the old days it was understood that
deer only ate snakes in the summer, for
which reason their venison was at that
time poisonous, sagacious fiction
which it was doubtless we'll to make
widely known in times when there was
abundant temptations to Devastating
and regulations concerning close sea-
sons would have been treated with in

In Case They Quarrelled.

What would be the effect upon our
merchant marine in case England and
Germany or France quarrelled? We
are dependent upon these three ma
lions for the transportation of our
goods to foreign ports and yet we have
no means of protecting any goods that
they may happen to be carrying in
case of war. Few of us realize just
how helpless we are in this respect,
but a set of figures which have been
published broadcast throughout the
country tell the story in a striking
manner. The statistics are taken from
the reports of Frederic Caldwell, the
American Vice General at Cairo. Con-
corning the vessels which pass through
the Suez Canal during the year of 1908
he said. that of the vessels giving
United States ports as ports either of
origin or destination, 230 carried the
British and 65 the German flag and
80 vessels carried flags of other ma
TONS With the exception of warships
and transports but one vessel carrying
the American flag passed through the
canal through the year, and that YES
sci was of 626 registered tons. A large
number of these vessels carried car.
goes almost exclusively American, the
