Great BrltaIn's Belief In Friendship
Shattered.

Great BrIsaIn's Belief In Friendship
Shattered.
London When Japan recently gave
orders for = new dreadnauRht to be
built In England, the proponsnts Of the
English Japanese alliance were loud In
referring to this act ~ having been
inspired solely by an desire Of Great
Brttain's Far Eastern ally 70 prove by
friendship the pact was not obtained
with the flavor Of business bargaining,
but simply intended gracefully 10 draw
more tightly the tiles Of alliance -
All this sentiment has been rudely
shattered by Fred T. Jane, naval ex-
port and student Of international fight
ing ships.
"The report that Japan, while leav-
Ing five Of her own shipyards empty,
has ordered dreadnaught to be built
IN England to show her admiration for
the Anglo Japanese alliance, 10 some
what weak In the matter Of assigned
cause" Mr.. Jane asserts.
1.-THE actual facts appear to be that
although Japanese yards are now fully
capable of turning out moderate-sized
vessels and very good destroyers, the
brilding Of monstrous battleships IL
rather beyond the capacity Of their ex-
isting plants. This probably explains
the tremendous delays in recent Jap
anese construction. II IL far cheaper
and expeditions to have ship built
outright In England than to import
large quantities Of material to be put
together In Japan.

bodies.
Fifty were taken to the hospital, Of
whom two may die.
Among the injured is Joseph E.
Sloan, deputy fire chief, who was over
taken by the falling wall and buried in
bricks and rubbish. He is badly hurt
but may recover.
The rush Of the flames was 80 swift
and threw such terror into the girls on

The building was exceedingly in
hammable and the first gush of flames
had cut of all escape by the stairways.
The elevators made one trip, but took
down no passengers and never came
back. The only exit was by the fire
escapes, the lower platforms of which
were 25 feet from the street.
Onto these overcrowded and eteep
lanes, scorched dancing hot by the jets
OF flame from the lower windows,
pressed forward mob of women. blind

others behind them.
A net had been spread beneath the
windows and the girls began to Jump,
like rats out of burning bin, was
the way fireman described the de-
scent.
They came out of the windows like
thick treacle, rolled upon the heads of
those below them and cascaded off the
fire escape to the pavement so feet be-
low.
Some of them stood in the windows
outlined against the flames and jumped
clear. Others jumped from the land
ings, still others from the steps where
they stood. The air was full of them
and they fell everywhere-into the net,
on the necks OF the firemen, and Is of
them on the hard stone slabs.
When the awful rain ceased there
were eight dead in the street, and the
cutters ran red. Seven were so badly
crushed they died in hospitals.
