OF one OF the most brilliant legal
minds in the country. yet in this very
Office had been prepared some OF the
most sensational victories ever re-

were not many. A man OF such re
nown was naturally expensive. Few
could AFFORD TO retain his services,
and in fact he was seldom called upon
except TO act in the interest OF
wealthy corporations. In these cases,
OF course. his fees were enormous. He
had very few private clients: in fact.
he declined much private practice
that was offered TO him. He had
been the legal adviser OF Howard
Jetrries, ST.. for many years. The
two men had known each other in
their younger days and practically
had won success together-the one
in the banking business, the other
in the service OF the law. An i'm
portant trust company. OF which Mr..
Jetrries was president, was constantly
involved in all kinds OF litigation OF

BY April ] there will be under con-
struCtion seven bsttleships, three ar

The estimates may fail 10 satisfy eX
tremists of the Bcresford type, but will
meet the approval of most of the mod
crates of the Conservative side of the

come from the governments own radical
supporters than from tho Unionists
The governments programme for con-
struCtion is larger than ever put forward
before, and although the details will not
be known until Nh. McKenna makes a
lurther statement in the House Of Con-
mons. il may he assumed that the five
