London, Feb. Following the

members to parliament today are
preparing to intoduce measures fol
the better protection of England. II

Particular attention will be paid
TO the protection of the nations

BY the way of effecting the de-
sired improvements economically,
experts. who have investigated the
situation, favor entrusting defense
to fiotillas of torpedo boat desreyers
of too ancient type for active SER
vice elsewhere.
AS the destroyers now on active
service are superseded by more
modern vessels, they, in turn, could
replace the still older coast defense
craft.
In this way, 1t is pointed out, sew
eral years work will be obtained
from boats that otherwise would be
due for the scrap heap.
The older destroyers have some
fighting value, and in fotillas could
do effective work against a single
modern vessel.
Other plans are for the construc-

COMMON SENSE
FOR COMMON LAW

II am aware that it is contrary to
the weight OF authority as our
courts attempt to apply the common
law to situation to which it is en-
tIrely in applicable. In England no
river is deemed navigable wherein
the tide does not ebbe and flow and
such is the common law, but in this
country the courts finally cut loose
from the doctrine and decided it was
inappllcable to conditions in America
and that the test of navigability was
the fact whether or not a stream
could actually be navigable. In
other words, the American courts
substituted common sense for COM
mon law"
That is a part OF an interesting
dissenting opinion of Justice Nc
Bride in the case of D. F. Finn and
NJ w Moon, who commenced an ac.
tion in the Coos Bay circuit court to
restrain VIM. Vaughan and ]. A. Nc
Donald from erecting a splash dam
in the Coquille River. The inferior |
court sustained the contention of the |
plaintiffs and the supreme court af-
frmed the lower court, but Justice
Mcbride dissented from the major
ity opinion and the interesting argu-
ment set forth in the support of his
was entirely overlooked
at the time of the decision of the
case.
Doctrine Absurd.
Continuing Justice Mcbride says.
Il think to take our rules in regard
10 riparian water rights on floatable
streams from a country which had
not floatable streams and no timber

water test to navigability would be

LIBERAL and common sense rule that {
