Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.
ROME, July "a, 1910
Commandante Limo, founder of the
Italian Navy League and the leading
Italian writer on naval matters, has been
interviewed on the state of the British
naval defenses. Commandante Limo con-
siders that it is a perfectly futile argu-
ment to say that the British fleet has
never been so large as it is today, and
that, therefore, the British citizen can
sleep soundly in his bed. The size Of the
British fleet, he says, must be considered
in relation to that of Germany and Aus
tria-Hungary together
Commandante Limo fears the establish
ment of a German cOaling station in the
Mediterranean, and looks upon the main
tenance of British naval supremacy as a
boon TO his own country. The British
fleet, he says, is purely offensive, for the
configuratton of the German coast line is
such that no naval defenses are needed
because no foreign force. as the French
realized in 1870, could effect a successful
landing there. Nor Is it to be supposed
that the south German populations. which
have no direct interest in the sea, could
pecuniary sacrifices for the creation of a
navy unless 1t had a definite aim. At the
present rate of construction, concluded
Commandante Limo, Great Britain will
find herself before long faced by a Ger
man fleet able to fight her single-handed
and with fair chance of success.

Treason, desertion and spite are al
legged to have been some of the causes
for the failure of the liquor interests
to come back" in Winchester this week
at the special election held for the pur-
pose of determining whether the citi-
zens would indorse local option, which
had been tried for two years. Two
years ago the Anti-Saloon League forces
carried the town by 100 majority, out
of total of S32 votes, and this week
they increased the majority to Isl, out
of total of 943.
When the liquor interests presented
the petition to the court asking for an
election they Set forth the limits in
which they would ask that license be
granted in event of d victory. Several
people who own property outside the
proposed limits, and in which whisky
have become offended, and worked hard
to defeat their former allies. These
men are supposed to have landed many
dry" votes. The Anti-Saloon League
people, however, claim that the people
We're satisfied with conditions under
local option.
Among those who made speeches at
Anti-Saloon League meetings were Maj.
Holmes Conrad, the noted Winchester
and Washington lawyer, Speaker Rich
ard Evelyn Byrd OF the Virginia house
of delegates; Seaborn Wright, the
Georgia lawyer; Anti-Saloon League sec
retarieS and local ministers. Under ex-
listing laws, another election cannot be
held for two years, and in the mean
time those who think they must have
their liquid refreshments will continue
to order liquors and beers from the
mail order firms of Washington, Bal

points.

County Has a Comeback"

When the city board of health met
yesterday to confer with the county board
concerning the proposed removal of an
old public lavatory In the heart of the
city, on ground owned by the county, and
which has threatened to produce another
clash between the city and county officials,
the former were taken by surprise when
the county board presented an altogether
different matter, to the effect that water
from the city's sewerage disposal plant
had polluted an important stream in the
county, and that the pollution must stop
at once.
1t is said that during the day the water
is clear, but that at night 1t becomes
filthy, and cows belonging to dairymen
refuse to drink it. 1t is thought the mat
ter will have to be taken to the courts
for settlement.

The controversy anent the Glidden tour
continues to be waged with interest and
some of the facts brought to light have
caused wide discussion and excitement
among those familiar with the inner
working of motordom, on account of the
popularity of the situation One par
ticuar phase has been cited in an inter-
view given out yesterday by the attorney
for the disqualified ~mpany, and is as
follows.
A. A. A. in diSqualifying II. 0. Smith and

able interest because of the popularity
of the ruling. The point which has been
brought forward as the most pertinent
in the argument is that in disqualifying
1ot only Mr.. Smith, the entrant of car

referee, but also Ihe company manufac-

Obtained an injunction restraining the

that in disqualifying the company it has
entirely ignored the fact that this COM
pany was not an entrant in the 1910 Gid
den tour, and could not have entered a
car had it been desired, in view of
the plain provisions of the deed of gift
of the Gldden trophy. Moreover the
company is not and was not a proper or
necessary party to the injunction proceed
ings and has violated no rule of the con-
test board. Just why it was DISQUALIFIED
is present question. In so far as the
