The excuse is the general one of modern mill
tarism--that competitive war preparation is the
price of peace. From the financial viewpoint OF
the taxpayer the high cost OF peace is about the
same as that of active hostilities.
At any rate, the most recent practical lessons
of war are applied with marvellous results OF
progress to the worlds navies. and in no country
is this more strikingly exemplihed than in the

I'VE desire that the American navy shall be
the most powerful and efficient In the world; but
we consider that new inventions have displaced

to make further appropriations for these types OF

Conservative statesmen in the United States

for armored ships-sums estimated in the aggre-
gate at more than $10O0O,OO0-as bad invest

One of the best athletic enter

was that which took place at the

Tuesda night and the big audience
present left the gymnasium well

In the main event Johnny Math-

forfeit the match to Jimmy Paris of
Greece after 26 minutes of the fast

ing a ligament in his shoulder torn.
Up to the time OF the accident the
match was very hard fought and
honors were even, although several
times during the bout it looked as
though Mathews might gain fall.
The Greek boy did some very
clever work and got out of several
tight places by his cleverness and
gameness. Both men were in excel

verdict.
