GERMANY AND ENGLAND.


BERLIN, February 24.-That the re.
cent visit of Viscount Haldane, the
British war minister to Berlin, may
result in the establishment of a rap
prochement between Germany and
England which in turn may lead to an
international agreement for the limita-
ton of armaments is probable
England is the only power in Eu-
rope which Germany considers danger
Gus. She has supreme confidence. in
her ability to handle any possible
combination of enemies on land.
But Germany now has great mer-
chantile marine and vast overseas
commercial interests which are abso-
lutely at the mercy of England. She
is beginning to realize that the task
of competing with England as a naval
power is beyond her financial ability
Hence the invitation to Lord Haldane
to come and talk over the situation
with the kaiser, and hence also the
belief here that Germany is now will
ing at least to consider the question
of the limitation of ornaments.
A communication in a recent issue
of the Berliner Tageblett which is
believed to be officially inspired sums
up the situation. 1t says:
Cannot Support Sea Power
n bn,,
expanded and important as our colon
les and exports possibilities may ap-
pear, our means do not suffice to sup
port sea power equal to that of the
first fleet, that of England, in addition
to the first army in the world. Already
our navy is so strong that it could OPP
pose any other with the exception OF
that of the English, with prospects
of success; indeed, is seems a match
for such combinations as France
and Russia or France and Italy.
Lest is eshould be thought that
our shoulders would be able
to bear the burden of fleet
equal to that of England, it should be
remembered that we hear from the
other side of the Channel that they
are prepared for every new German
ironclad at once to lay down two Eng
lish ones We have ships, we have
men, we have money too. An endless
screw, then. Only we should raise
the enormous sums that would be nee
essary only at the cost of our land de-
! lenses
With the comparatively slight eX-
| tent of our coasts, and the small mum
| bers of our seafaring population, the
| bulk of our sailors are raised inland.
Alreary the naval contingent is diff
cult to recruit. Where should we get
masses of new officers when, in con-
sequences of our numerous ships, our
naval officers corps is already sub
! jected to a severer strain than that Of
of any other power? Ships alone would
not suffice, but we should need new
harbors, docks and works of all kinds
which would swallow up countless mil
lions. And what should we attain?
With completr financial exhaustion,
the fleet would still be in the old nu-
mercial relationship to that of Eng
/ land.

Catholic History Shocks.

OdtnoIlC history onoCkS'
The announcement that Mgr. Du- |
chesnes "L'Historie Ancienne de ZEN |
Use" has been put on the Index will /.
be a painful shock to many devout /
Catholics as well as a profound regret |
to students of church history. 1t was |
only with the appearance Of the TIA
liam version that any valid cause of
complaint could be found with Mgr /.
Duchesne's history, of which the last
volume appeared only two years. ago. |.
The work received as it came out in
three volumes the imprinatur of es-
clesiastical authorities and the warm
personal commentator of the pope
the French seminaries and no word
was ever spoken against its rthodoxy,
though there were not wanting signs
that the author was regarded with dis
favor by the small circle of obscurant-
lists whose influence in the church has
lately been very apparen'
Mgr. Duchesne's opponents have
gained their end, but it is hard to see
how their victory profits the church.
One of the most distinguished and de.
voted sons of the church, as the re-
ward of his devotion. finds himself in
the painful position of having to
choose between the sacrific of his
life-work or the remuneration of his
priesthood,
Mgr Duchesne, who has been di-
rector of the French school in Rome
since 1895, was received as a member
of the Academic Franchise on January
26, in succession to the late Cardinal
Matthew, and he is universally honor
ed as one of the most distinguished
ornaments of French scholarship
Roses from Italy are not allowed to
be taken across the frontier into
! France The reason is that some Ital-
| ian roses have been suffering a dis
ease which is fatal to full and beau
tiful growth. "Diapsis pentagona" is
the scientific name of the disease, and
French rose growers and gardeners are
most anxious that it shall not spread
among their flowers
One consequence of the prohibition
is that the supply of roses in Paris
and other places is very short and
prices have gone up with a bound
The importance of the prohibition
may be gathered from the fact that
as a rule at this time of the year 5000
cases of roses are sent into France
from Italy every day.
Child Made Queen Wait.
An amusing incident is related in
connection with the Montessori schools
in Rome 1t illustrates the way in
which habits of order and interest in
work are inculcated, among very
young scholars.
When Queen Margherita visited the
school she asked a little girl who was
engaged in putting in order box of
cut-out letters to spell a word for her
The child made no reply, but went on
calmly dropping each letter into its
own compartment

Mortified at the child's indifference, ex-
claimed: but Rosa, you must pay
attention. This is the queen!" 81

GOOD SCORES
AT RIFLE SHOOTING

Several members Of Co. r., of
the local militia company were out
Monday at rifle practice, working on
the range which has been provided
for that purpose. the records
made for the afternoon were eXcep-
tionally good in spite of the heavy
wind that was blowing across the
range, and which operates against
really good WORK.
The men shot at a target 500
yards distant and four OF them stood
high in rank. Sergeant Hayes made
the best RECORD Of the afternoon
when he made a score of As out of
50 shots. Lyman Cox, Bricker,
Scheurenbrand and Hayes shot 100
rounds at the target, and they each
made a claan scoIe-that is every
shot hit the target. At that distance
the average shot will miss the target
more time than they will hit it, par
ticularly one who has not had the
practice in shooting. The wind was
blowing at a twenty-five mile gait
across the range, and in the face OF
lit Hayes made 10 straight bulls
eye, and got 10 out of % shots.
There was also a Luger automatic
pistol shooting contest. which wa,
between Lyman, Bricker and Cox
Bricker won the contest with As GU

Shortly before 6 o'clock yesterday
rose into the air with his Curtiss hi
plane for the first flight of the day.
He remained aloft for FIVE minutes
and then descended. After making
adjustments in his machine,
he made another ascent 45 minutes
later.
Both flights, though brief, were
successful and the crowd below we're

the work of the birdman.
The aeroplane, which had been
partially shattered by the disaster OF
the previous day, had been repaired
after many hours of labor during the
morning and night before by the avi-
ator and his mechanician.
The two ascents were viewed by
probably no less than five thousand
people. Not anly were the fair

but without the Enclosure vast crowds
were collected, and within a radius
of a half-mile many viewed the spec.
