Turkish government, the number of

construction or contracted for by the
leading nations of the world reach
ed a grand total Of exactly 100 cost

dollars. The ambition of Turkey tc
become a Dreadnought naval power,
announced some time ago, was def.
nftely realized today, and the gov
eminent of Chile also entered the
lists this year by placing orders fol
two sDreadnoughts. The action, OF
Chile followed that of its neighbo1
and rival, Argentina, which, has two
Dreadnoughts building. Brazil has
two Dreadnoght type warships san(
another building, thus giving Soutf
America q prospective total of sevel

friendship Of the Latin-Am ericant re
pnblics a thing to be desired.
1.-The firsts sDreadnought was begu1
by the British government only 81:
syears ago, and the great activity
since then is a tribute to the suppos,
ed supremacy of this type of sea
fighter. Great Britain leads in the
number of D~readnought, with Ger.
many second and the United State:
third. These three nations, with
Brazil, are the only one havin,
Dreadnoughts completed and ready
for their death-dealing business
France has not a solitary Dreadnogh'

dered by that nation. Japan has
two Dreadnoghts launched and near

 The nominations of w. R. Webster and X. w. Bell, the former supplant- ing A. M. wooster who has served fearlessly, faithfully and impartially upon the board of education, were made without opposition.
 Candidates for selectmen were nom- mated as follows: William w. Wolf, of the Tenth, by R. Arthur Brown; Daniel Smith, of the Ninth by Fred ton, of the Tenth, by Frank H. Day. This drops Frank Braithwaite, of the Eleventh. Upon a resolution by Secretary Kelly, the chairman appointed these five delegates to revise the party rules: A. J. Northey, A. L. Delaney. William E Seeley, A. J. Bodine, and Charles Blaekhan.
 Chairman MacFayden appointed Delegates Banks, Northey and De- Laney to bring in the candidates. Most of them were waiting in Cor oner Wilson's office in the Warner building to hear the tidings. Led by Chairman MacF'ayden the delegates joined by few of the spectators gave the standard bearer three cheers in a perfunctory fashion.
 Coroner Wilson read his speech of acceptance and while his voice pene- trated throughout the hall, the speech did not inspire any remarkable out burst of enthusiasm. Of the other candidates, Mitchell, Cooney, Ortlepp, Seeley. and Bell were called to the

The de- fense attorneys StrenuouSly objected and the judge took the matter under advisement, promising an early decis- ion.

 The roll call disclosed the tafdi- ness of Former Alderman and Fourth District leader James E. Burnes, who 1aters arrived on the scene; and the presence of Attorney John s. Pull man, former city court judge, with the proxy of Mauritz P. Olsen of the Fifth and Thomas Arnold. Jr., with the proxy of Howard Bayette.

 The platform was presented by Seth B. Jones, and adopted by roll call vote. Then Chairman MacFayden called for the mayoralty nominations.

 COLLEGE EDUCATION IS TOO INDEFINITE

New Haven, Oct 25-College educa- tion is too indefinite, according to Ida Tarbell, the writer, in the Yale News, today. 'I should like colleges to turn out young men practical enough to be able to relate to life what they have learned.
 Tt seems to me that athletics are given more prominence than is their due, though I am far from underrat ing their vaIue.''
