London. April 6.-Princess Louise.
Duchess OF Argyll. is to-day spoken OF
as being one of the most clever women
In London. as well as one of the most
resourceful. Her newly acquired fame
dates from. the st. Patrick's Day exhi-
bition and sale OF the Royal Irish In
dustries Association. which was held
under the patronage of the King and
Queen at Londonderry House. by per-
mission OF the Marquis and Marchion-
ess OF Londonderry.
The Duchess was a patroness OF the
stall of the Irish Distressed Ladies'
Fund. She did not visit the exhibition
until late in the evening, Just as IL was
about to close. when she learned to her
dismay that the booth of the distressed
ladies had not received the expected
amount of contributions.
Mounting a chair. she began to sing
In clear. full soprano. the old hymn.
Come All Ye Faithful" In a minute
''all ye faithful" embracing practically
everybody present. had gathered around
to hear her singing. When she had
concluded two verses she made a few
brief remarks in behalf of the Irish
Distressed Ladies' Fund. with the re-
suit that. when she departed half an
hour later, the booth had received more
patronage than any other In the exht-
bition, and she went home contented
that she had accomplished what she
had set out to do

MED by the Prince OF Wales and attend

and Col. w. Lsmbton. motored to the

He was received on behalf OF the navy

dent of the Royal Naval Rugby Union:
by Field Marshal Earl Roberts and
Lieut.. Gen. Horace Smith-Dorrien on be-

NEEDLE SOCIETY
PRAISES WORKERS
"Midinettes" Appland Aged Histor
ian Who in Honeyed Phrases
Lauds Their Cleverness.

Paris, April 6.-Some symbolism must
have been suggested to any person with
imagination by the grand annual meet
ing OF the Needle Society In the huge
hall Of the Trocadero. In the chair was
the grave historian. NJ. Thureau-D Dangin,
perpetual secretary OF the French
Academy. and by his side was Count
Albert de Nun, leading spokesman of
the royal Catholic party in Parliament
and one Of the best speakers in France.
Around them or below them In the hall
were women of fashion in wonderful
dresses, side by side with the girls who
had made the dresses.
''L'AuguiIie' is society for bringing
together capital and labor" in the
dressmaking trade, and employers and
employed alike belong to Il. This was
the coming OF age of the society, being
its twenty-frst annual meeting. After
the report was read savings bank books
were distributed among deserving sewing
girls. Then the grave historian. NJ. Thur
eau-Dangin. got up and spoke In praise
Of the Midinette. A learned and severe,
perhaps rather q dry-as-dust scholar, de-
livering a academic eulogy of the girls
who make Paris fashions, was perhaps
one of the most French things one could
be present at or listen to. 1t was a sort
OF epitome of France from the Academic
Franchise to the Rue de Ia Paix, the one
represented by its perpetual secretary.
and the other by the girls who eat their
lunch from street-barrows in the inter-
walls of dressmaking between noon and
o'clock, and thus earn the charming
name Of Midinettes.
Accidentally eloquent, NJ. Thureau-
Dangin spent as much of his academic
eloquence upon ,prsising the midinettes
as IL he had been In the academy on
some great forensic occasion. and the
midinettes, who did not understand half
his long words, applauded him furiously,
taking that delight In weIl-turned rhe-
toric which is instructive IN the simplest
French breast. What he said was. as a
matter of fact. true. though he said II
rather grandiloquently.
He spoke of the honesty. the purity,
the courage, the charitableness. the en-
durance, and the hard work Of the midi
nette. That fairy with the nimble fin
gers" he exclaimed. There Is probably
more hard work done. and quicker INTEL
ligence employed by the midinette. other
things being equal. than by any other
manual worker IN the world"
After they had applauded their acad-
emic panegyrist, Count de Nun, unfortu-
nateiy not being induced to speak. the
midinettes exercised the right OF suffrage
and elected their officers and committee
for the year.

NAVAL EXPANSION POLICY S7ARTLES ENGLISH LIBERALS
two Battle Ships to Germany's One" Is Winston
Churchhirs Slogan

London. Aprf: 6-while the announce
ment recently made in Parliament by
Winston Churchill in regard 10 the naval
policy OF the present government has
been hailed with cheers by all the jim
goes of the country. and while many
Liberal statesmen realize that the policy
Of Mr.. Churchill may be the only one
possible under present circumstances, 1t
Is no source of Joy to the real friends OF
peace and progress.
The British shirbuilding programme is
arranged with regard TO the completed
action of the German feet law rather
than to the precise number OF ships
turned out from year 10 year. Hitherto
the general rule has been to construct
Dreadnoughts on the basis Of about three
British ships to two German ships. hay-
ing regard to the full balance or power
In this now dominating category OF war
vessels. This has. of course, meant a
total advantage of more than two TO one,
considering England's vast superiority In
the pre-Dreadnought battle ships.
The New Tax Burden.
The question is now: Has this stand
ard been raised by Mr.. Churchill?
Tho programme means. in its normal
working. that If four, Dreadnoughts are
constructed this year, three will be begun
next year and four in 1914. But what will
happen II the proposed German additions
20 the navy law come into effect? Ap-
parently. England starts from that mo-
ment on a basis of two keels to one for
each German addition to the present
basis of her fleet law. In other words,
Instead of building three Dreadnoughts
next year, England will build five. The
reason is that the admiralty is making
an increasing allowance for the decreas-
ing number and value Of the pre-Dread-
uought types But the fact remains that
II the revised German plans go through.
England will this year be building four
Dreadnoughts to the German two, and in
1919 five to the German three, with the
usual vast and costly compliments in
the shape OF fleets of cruisers Of differ
mt types and a shoal OF destroyers and
submarines.
What does Germay propose to do? 1t
Is very difficult to tell. for no one knows
yet how great will be the influence the
Har-hating Socialists will exert, or how
much the improved diplomatic position
N London will modify the rather threat
sning plans of the government
The whole Liberal party in England
and probably no man more than Mr..
Churchill himself-hopes that modera-
ton will prevail IN Germany, and that
LIMOGES will be silenced, for every addi-
ton to the German feet weakens the
protest of British Liberalism, and adds
weight to the automatic force in this
country, which makes for greater and
greater fleets. The process is endless.

carpenters were replaced by plasterers,
