"The English have got to reconcile themselves to the fact that alongside of their own overwhelmingly strong navy, which is still in ships and guns three times as strong as the German, other fleets are growing 'lp.
 Tt is passing strange that John Bull never gets excited about the much more dangerous growth of the American sea power. There is sys- tenn in that silence and in the Brit lsh practice of only boiling within when in conflict with Uncle Sam,
 "The British have had great respect for the Yankees ever since 1776, re- spect which they characteristically ex- hlbited on the occasion of the Titanic disaster. If the German government had attempted to hold hack British subjects on British ships by force, as the Americans held Messrs. Ismay and his comrades, there would have been a storm of indignation in England such as never yet has been"
 The authors statement in regard to the weakness of the German fleet, as compared with the British, does not, of course, stand investigation. The Kaiser's fleet is far from being quite "one-third as strong as the Brit ish." At the present time it is fully as strong in dreadnaught units as the American, if not fraction stronger.

Kaiser Wilhelm II. and the Navy" is the title of new book which prom ises to be one of the best Christmas sellers. It Is devoted to telling the story of the rise of the German fleet to it's present position, and gives Elm peror William the lions shore of cred. 1t for making the Fatherland a pow CT on the sea.
 The book draws a hattering com parlson between the American and lhe German fleets, and alleges that the reason why Great Britain never dares to talk at the United States the way 1t does at Germany is that Brit ishers have long had a most whole some respect for the American Navy.
 "We must strive to build our fleet at least as powerful as the American" ]" writes the author, George wiscilenus, a distinguished official of the Navy Department, in "order that the peO- pie of the other side of the North Sea may gradually learn to understand that the Germany Navy is just as little of a luxury, as Winston s. Churchill had the effrontery to call it, as the American or the British.

The tall, spare figure of Gov. Cole L. Bease of South Carolina was the object of continual interest at the Governors meeting in the White House and in the capital generally, recently. Policemen, cabdrivers, and politicians passed the word around: That's Blease, the man who said; TO hell with the Constitution!
 The Governor did not look comfort able. He resented the idea of an in- terview, but did not miss the chance to express himself.
 "The newspaper men never quote me, but they always misQuote me" he said, when he was asked if he really meant to consign Constitutions to hot places. q was misrepresent- ed in what was said of my remarks in Richmond. Not exactly misquoted, for I did say, TO hell with the Con. stitution. But the remark was mis, represented. No man would De more conscientious than l in keeping my oath to support the Constitution of South Carolina, or of the United States, but, where black men commit crimes against white women, and are lynched for it, I declare Constitutions do not apply. For that, there is a higher law than the Constitution"
 A report of the day was that a proposition had started among the Governors who disapproved Gov Blease's language to prevent his ap pearance at next years conference by inviting the Lieutenant Governor Of South Carolina. None of the Gov ernors would confirm or deny that.

An Exile F Or Life
 Escapes

WASHINGTON, Dec 12.- In 1907 Liatt Butin, then 20 years old, a member of the revolutionary party, in the town of shtsk, Province of Minsk, Russia, was exiled to Siberia for life. A few months ago, with the aid of confederates, he escaped from Siberia in milk barrel,
 The wooden, tin-lined barrel was loaded on freight train bound for vladivostoE, and for five days and nights Butin sat cooped up in 1t, bent nearly double. When he WAS re- leased he was in a pitiable condition. other confederates successfully smuggled him over to Yokohama, whence he sent letters to friends in America, who sent him funds which enabled him to reach San Francisco.
 But the immigration authorities there decided to bar him out of the country as an undesirable alien, on the ground of his physical condition, and he was sent to Eagle island to await deportation. Russian revolu- tionists in San Francisco notified their comrades plight, and the latter succeeded in locating a sister of Bu- tin. Mrs. Gertie Wagman of 61 Third street, who at once sent here brother $2OO. Although he received the money and the authorities were as- sured that he would not become pub lie charge, they were still determined to deport Butin when the Hebrew Inn migration Ali dsociety of New York was appealed to by his sister and took an interest in the case,
 The society communicated with it's representatives in San Francisco and with Simon Wolf, it's agent at Wash ington, who laid the case before Sec. retary Nagel. After learning that Blu tin had committed no crime, but that he had been only political prisoner, and that his friends were willing to give bond that he would not become public charge, the Secretary or dered Butins release.
