MARTHA TRACY HHDLEY

OeloVeu WlIe or Rev. J. Ferry Hadley, died at her home in this city on Wednesday, February 28. Funeral services were held at the Friends church on Friday after noon at 2 o'clock. The attendance was large, including a large part or the population of Douglas. The stores were closed during the ser vices. The interment was at the Douglas cemetery. There were meny beautiful floral offerings.
 The passing of Mrs. Hadley brought sorrow to the people of Douglas. In this little Island town we have endured our portion of sorrow many times, when death or disaster had their sway. This time the sting was felt by every- one. Nothing could be more pathe- tic then the love of the native peo- pie for this good woman. She had worked among them as teacher and friend and they loved her we'll. In her death, they felt that each had suffered a personal loss.
 No one will ever know the good that this woman did. Not only among tEe natives, but wherever a suffering soul writhed under the torture of mental or physical pain, there she came with her earnest, yet modest, bearing and her hands were filled with offer ings of love and tender sympathy. No pride of position held her back. She only sought to be helpful where she could. How we'll she succeeded, a volume of words could not tell. Knowing her mod est disposition, we doubt if she that she was living re- markedly noble life, or that her works would build for her a monu- ment.

ENGLAND WATCHING
THE UNITED STATES
NAVAL CLASH IN EASTERN Wa
TERS NOT IMPOSSIBILITY.
ENGLISH ADMIRAL'S OPINION
Admiral Bridge Says the United States
Should Be Certain of Its Naval
Strength Before Becoming
Involved.

London.-The situation in China i. be-
ing keenly observed here, and the news
that the United States has ordered
cruiser squadron rushed to the Philip
pines has attracted marked attention.
This move is taken to define the atti-
tude OF the United States government
toward an attempted partition of China
by Japan and Russia.
Admiral Sir CyPrian Bridge, former di-
rector OF naval intelligence in the Brit
i-h admiralty, in discussing the dispatch
OF eruisers to the Philippines by the
United States indicated his belief that
naval clash in far Eastern waters is
not out of the question. lie thought
the United States should be certain of
its naval strength before becoming in
volved.
Il am quite certain that the dispatch
OF American cruisers to the Philippines
in itself-wouldn't have much effect.
Such a squadron would make very
little difference in the balance of naval
power unless there Is big American
fleet already ia the Pacific, and | be-
lieve there is not.
'Of course, if there is going to be
trouble it is not unnatural that the
United States government should wish
10 protect the property and lives of
American citizens. A squadron OF Amer
lean cruisers, however, could not prevent
any partition OF China, and think that
the expressed opinion and attitude OF
the United States government would
have much more effect.
The American wsrship must always
be considered factor to be reckoned
with. but this time it appears to be a
question OF numbers on the spot. The
American Asiatic fleet is very small. and
the squadron of armored cruisers would
not do much to adjust the balance with
other fleets
