GROWTH OF eNGLAND's NAVY

While in the year 1911 there was
wider discussion Of measures for the
promotion o. universal neace than
ever before. the nations did not relax
their efforts to be ready to meet
such issues as are decided by big
ravies There was nothing incon-
sistent in this: the lesson that pre-
paredness for war makes for peace
was mastered long ago. but the rate
AT which Great Britain is developing
her fighting fleet suggests the ques-
ton where the growth Of navies is
To- stop. Last year England launch
ed eight dreadnoughts. each equip
ped with lS.5-inch guns; two armor-
ed and two unarmored cruisers.
tWenty-three torpedo boat deStroyers
and five submarines. or her forty
new fighting ships. eight carry guns
superior in range and penetrating
power TO the twclve-inch guns on
our OWN dreadnoughts. Utah. Florida.
Delaware and North Dakota. The
United States. however. will pres
emily have guns afloat more power
full than any on England's newest
craft; the New York and Texas will
carry fourteen-inch weapons. Then
Great Britain's turn will come again.
Last year was the greatest in her
history in respect to war ship build
ing and the vessels launched in 1911
will cost nearly S6.5OO.0O0 1t is
not strange that in urging ratifica-

Taft should have thought it worth

While the speed with which Eng

armament now in use is impressive.
and may appear 10 Germany to have
peculiar significance. at least one
British naval expert. Charles Gaunt.
believes that the dreadnoughts
launched last year and others now
building will soon be out-classed.
According to Gaunt, the battleship of
the future will have a speed of forty

power may ultimately point to the
he is right: but that increase in gun

seem altogether impossible. What is
certain is that any adj
vance made by one nation in the ef-
of its fighting machines will
quickly be matched by other powers

The last time the question OF the

have greatly increased. Before 1f''
the Lord Mayor received his income
from ancient dues. For instance, Lord
MAJOR Brass Crosby in 1870 received
e4251 and spent C 66S5. and ohm VIII

Mayor received a fixed stipend Of

used to pay about ib3300 per annum

subject of the Lord Mayors salary

and 1869, the former recommending
a salary of ib65OO per annum and
the corporation paying the expenses

PLEA FOR WATERWAY.
william X. kavanaugh Says Gul
to Lakes Ditch Is Needed.

Much interest has been aroused in
Washington by statements made in the
opening address Of President william X
Kavanaugh, Of the Lakes-to-the-Guli
Waterways Association, which convened
IN Little Rock. Ark, a few days ago
President Kavanaugh declared that a
deep waterway in operation from the
Lakes to the Gulf would materially re-
duce the cost Of living to the millions
of people of the Mississippi Valley. in
the proportion that 1t would lower the
cost Of transportation.
President Kavanaugh maintained that
the proposed deep waterway would cost
far less than the Panama Canal. and
would benefit the country TO a greater
degree. He and the convention adyo-
Gated the immediate building of the wa
terway in the interests of economy and
facility in transportation Of products be-
tween the Great Lakes and the Gulf OF
Mexico.
These views Of Mr.. Kavanaugh are
based upon an address delivered by o.
p. Austin, Chief of the Bureau OF Sta
tistics of the Department of Commerce
and Labor made before the association
last year. Mr.. Austin in his address
went deeply into the subject and proved
by facts that the proposed waterway is
feasible from the engineering standpoint
and that II would furnish a much need

South and the North for the products OF

BELIEVE
THEY HAVE BOMB
Car Chaser Finds Something that
Looks Like Double Shotgun
Cartridge.
LABELED N1rRoeIYcERm

An Internal machine labeled Ninety
per cent nitroglycerin'' and bearing the
appearance OF two shotgun shells fas.
tened together with an electrical appli.
ance was found yesterday afternoon or
the seat Of passenger car in Union
Station by a car cleaner and turned oveI
TO Chief Viett, OF the Terminal force.
The ominous little packet now reposes
beneath several feet Of water and mud
on the Virginia shores near the Highway
Bridge. To 1t is tied string and or
the other end OF the string is stake
marking the spot where the machine ia
buried
1t will be raised this morning by the
police and turned over to an expert
in explosives for examination. The ut
most caution was exercised by officials
in handling the bomb for fear that a
fingers pressure on some part OF the
delicate mechanism might cause an ex-
plosion.
Despite the efforts of the police and
Terminal officials to keep the discovery
a secret, details of the finding Of the
machine became known last night. After
receiving the machine from the fright
ened car cleaner Viett at once began
an Investigation.
He found that the car in which the
a train which arrived from New York
shortly before noon. The empty coach
was moved to the yards, where the
cleaners boarded It and began work. The
bomb was found in the crevice between
the seat and the back Of the seat
As it reposed on plush over padding.
there was little likelihood Of the bomb
exploding by jolting in the car. The
cleaner lost no time in ridding himself
of the peculiar contrivance. Viett also
hastily forwarded it from his possession.
He turned the bomb over to Maj. Syl-
vester, who in turn handed II to Chief
of Detectives Boardman.
Detective O'Dea was given the bomb.
and he carried 1t 1t to the harbor pre-
cinct, where he was Joined by Lieut..
Dean. Together they walked over the
Highway Bridge and deposited the little
destructive engine in soft mud. where
water might have an opportunity to de-
stroy its explosive qualities.
The machine has the appearance Of two
shotgun shells fastened together with q
wide band of hardened rubber. There is
an attachment that seems to work as a
trigger. Just how the machine Is eX-
ploded Is a question which the police did
not care to determine. How the bomb
was left on the coach seat is also a ques-
ton which the police cannot answer.

Serious made luacy OF their school IA
cilities was the principal question before
meeting Of the Rhode Island Avenue
Suburban Citizens' Association last
night, held in the Sherwood Presby-
terrain Church.
Members brought to the attention of
the association several signs Of over
crowding noticed In the first few days
Of school. They said that the eight
room building does not furnish room
enough for the pupils now in attendance
even after The sewing and cooking
classes have been removed from the
building into rented quarters and double
hrst and second grades established.
The general sentiment Of the meeting
was that the association should begin a
new school building.
Several new streets are now being
opened In this suburb. and building oper-
ations have been active. AZ q result.
citizens believe that the school enroll
ment In the Langdon building will rapid
ly increase. The fact that an enrolment
Of forty-eight has already been made In
the kindergarten in spite of the in
clement weather was pointed to in sup
building Of the extendabIe type 10 de-
sired.
Another matter upon which the asso-
ciation passed was q recommendation of
parking site in their locality. which
was made at the request OF the Com
missioners
The association recommends that the
Commissioners take as the site for the
proposed park q square from Thirteenth
to Sixteenth Streets and from Hamlin to
Jackson Streets. This square 10 well
grown with large trees. is hilly, and but
