CANADA TO BUILD 4 NAVY
8 BATTLEsHIPs, TO COST $a5,ooo,-
coo is PROGRAM.
Ships to Be at Engiand's Disposal
Until Owners Shall Form Fleet
for Its Own Defense.

Ottawa, Ontario.-Under the Bor-
den governments temporary naval
policy, announced by the premier in
the commons, parliament is asked to
vote $35, 000, 600 for the construction
of the three super-dreadnaughts, to
be the strongest in the world. The
ships will be built in Great Britain,
and will be at the disposal of the
British admiralty for the common de-
tense of the empire.
They will be maintained and con-
trolied as part of the royal navy and
Canada is assured that if at any time
in the future it should be the will of
the Canadian people to establish a
Canadian unit, these vessels can be
recalled by the Canadian government
to form part of that navy, in which
ase they would be maintained by
Canada and not Great Britain.
In the event of Canada's desiring to
withdraw her ships, due notice would
be given to the admiralty. Special ar
rangements will be made to give Can
adams the opportunity to serve as of
ticers on their ships.
The government is not undertaking
Dr. beginning a system of regular or
periodical contribution. The premier
agrees that the payment Of such con-
tributions would not be the most sat
isfactory solution of the question of
defense.
The British admiralty is prepared
to give orders in the early future for
the construction in Canada of small
cruisers, oil tanks, vessels and aux
Hilary craft of various kinds. The
Canadian government agrees to bear
part of the cost for establishing the
plants necessary for the building of
these vessels.
The suggestion is made that a Cana
dian minister should reside in Lon
don during the whole or a portion of
each year.

UPHOLDS RELIGION IN HOMES
Who Neglect Family Devotions
Praises Sunday School.

Chicago, Ill,-Thomas R. Mar
shall of Indiana, vgice president
elect, who is a delegate to the Fed
eral Council OF Churches of Christ in
America, in session here, devoted his
address chiefly to the subject Of fam
lily life and the Sunday school.
He said the Sunday school is in
tended to round out family devetions,
not to take their place. In four gears
as an executive, he said, many had
come to him seeking clemency for
Maynard sons or daughters. IF these
persons had seen their duty to lay
down fixed rules of life and to teach
the higher law of living in their
homes, God would not have punished
them in the falling away of their chill
dren," he said.
The days session of the council
was given to reports and discussions
on civic work and church cooperation
for the improvements of the lives of
city jewellers.

SANTA CLAUS HAS P. 0. BOX
Charitable Institutions Who So Desire
to Get Mail From Poor Riddles
Who Want Presents.

Washington, d. C.-Postmaster
General Hitchcock issued an order
authorizing all postmasters to deliver
Santa Claus" letters to such charita-
BILE institutions as may desire to give
attention to the requests the letters
contain.
AS Christmas day approaches many
thousands of such letters are written
to Santa Claus by children of the
poor appealing for Christmas remem-
ORANGES.
The postmaster general feels that
the postoffice department should aid,
so far as possible, in the ~philanthropic
work of meeting the requests.
If the letters fail to bear postage
stamps it will be necessary under the
law for the postmaster to forward
them to the division of dead letters.

CREDITPLAN URGED
EUROPEAN METHOD is RECON-
MENDED AT CONFERENCE.
Gov. o'NeaI Tells State Executives 1t
Would Remedy National Finan-
ciaI ills in United States.

Richmond, Va.-Urging immedi-
ate consideration by the states Of
the European rural credit plan, Gov.
Emmett otNeal of Alabama declared
to the conference of governors here
that the plan would prove a panacea
for most of the nations financial ills.
Establishment of such a system in
this country" he said, will stimulate
industrial and agricultural develop
ment, will encourage thrift and econ.
omy on the part of our people, will
prevent the drift of population to the
towns and cities, and will make life
on the farm more attractive and
profitable, will check concentration of
wealth in great centers of trade, will
reduce the high cost of living and will
put our waste and uncultivated lands
in crops" ,
Gov. O'Neal opened the days dis
cussion of the rural credit system.
Both sessions of the day were devoted
to consideration of the movement. All
the state executives have been invited
to talk over the plan with President
Taft in Washington after the close of
the conference here.
Gov. O'Neal warned the governors
that the fundamental principle in the
rural credit plan was the rural banks
be conducted solely in the interest of
the borrowers, and not for profit. He
urged that a commission be appointed
to study the operation of the plan
abroad and to plan a campaign of edu-
cation among the people, as well as
to draw up model state bills.
Myron T. Herrick, United States
ambassador to France, who has made
special study of the plan at the re-
quest Of President Taft, outlined the
exact workings Of the system abroad.
