WILL Be LABOR SAVER
Machinery to Be Tried at Gov.
ernment's New Bulb Gar
den at BeI|ingham.

Some new labor-saving machinery that
VIII enable high-priced American work
men to compete with the cheaper hand
labor OF Europe Is to be tried by the De-
partment Of Agriculture in the new bulb
garden at Bellingham, Wash. The de-
partment has been at work there for two
years experimenting with tulips, hya-
cinths and all sorts OF bulb plants such
as are commonly imported to this country
and which for years Holland has had
practically monopoly Of growing. There
are several million dollars year spent
for these imported bulbs and the Depart
ment Of Agriculture figures that the
money had just as well be kept at home.
The bulb garden at Bellingham has
proved great artistic and horticultural
success. but commercially the Europeans
still have the best Of It. When the bulbs
are propagated the bottom of the bulb
has to be scooped out and the shell plant
ed. Little bullets. from twenty to forty
to plant. spring from the old stock. and
these in turn are taken OF and planted.
Handles Sixty a Minute.
The expert foreign workman. with a
special knife, can scoop about three bulbs
q minute. But the department has de-
vised q machine that will handle about
sixty q minute with unskilled labor.
The same is true In planting the bulbs.
The European method OF hand planting
has already been replaced by a machine
that plants and covers the bulbs as last
as q pair Of horses can walk.
The domestic~grown bulbs are, II any
thing. superior to the imported. It re-
mains only to see whether machlne-aideo
labor can bring the price Of production
down to a point where the American
bulb gardener can do the necessary work
cheaper than tho foreigner.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, April 29.-It is apparent that
there is a widespread MISUNDERSTANDING
OF the character of the naval RESPONSE
bilities which the passage of the new
German naval bill will cast on this conn
try, and TO assist in meeting which the
government has decided to hold in reserve
the surplus of $50, SOC, 600, which accrued
last year.
The misrepresentation which prevails
arises from failure to understand the
character of the new naval crisis, which
is already on the horizon. 1t is not a
mere matter of shipbuilding. but of vast
increased general charges for the navy.
The proposal of the government is
to add the surplus to the excheQuer
balance as an emergency fund. mainly
with view to meeting the new de-
mandS on the treasury, which are in
evitable-absolutely inevitable-on two
suppositions-first, that the German
navy bill is passed by the reichstag,
and, secondly. that the supremacy of
the British fleet is to be maintained.
There is no doubt as to either of these
points, and therefore there is no un-
certainty as to the increase in British
naval expenditure.
The serious character of the German
proposals does not lie in the number
of ships to be built over and above the
provisions of the existing navy law,
and the more numerous vessels which
will have to be built in this country to
neutralize them on the standard of two
keels to one.
If Germany decides upon three addi
tional dreadnoughts in the next six
years, then, as Mr. Churchill explained
in his recent exposition of admiralty
policy, we shall need six. This will
cast an eventual and additional bur-
den on the navy estimates Of over
twelve millions, and a further large
over and above the recent outlay of
about third of a million sterling.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1912-04-29
Additional Outlay Involved.

involve on this country cannot be less
than sixty millions. even IL Germany
postpones laying the keel of one of
the three extra battleships authorized.
and If all three ships are begun before
1917 the charge will rise to about
seventy millions. This means that in
the six years Immediately ahead-over
and above our normal outlay on new
ships of about $65.O00,000 annually, or
an aggregate Of roughly 100000, 900
sterling-the admiralty will have to
be provided with from $60.000.000 to
$40 100000, the pressure OF which will
be felt mainly in the financial years
1913-1914 and onward. There is no
doubt as to these figures, except that
they may err on the side of modera-
ton.
But this is only one side of the picture
and the brightest Germany is about to
raise the number of her officers and men
from approximately 10000 to more than
$4,000. With these men it is proposed to
place on a war footing a new squadron
consisting of eight more battleships, be-
side cruisers and torpedo craft. The high
seas feet is to be raised from a strength
of seventeen battleshfps to twenty five,
and eventually the ten armored cruisers
associated with 1t will be dreadnought
cruisers of the Invincible type, raising the
armored strength instantly ready at all
times in the North sea or Baltic to
thirty-five dreadnoughts. On this portion
u
will spend most of the money for which
the reichstag must eventually be asked.
Plan of Naval Increase.
At present we have in British waters in
full commission only sixteen battleships-
exactly the same number as Germany.
but far more powerful ships-and there
are six more battleships Of the Atlantic
fleet based on Gibraltar and Dover, and
another six in the Mediterranean. AS
Mr.. Churchill has announced, the
strength Of the reorganiZed home fleet
must be increased SO that they will be
adequate at the average British moment
to deal with any menace at an enemy 8
selected moment. Full particulars have
already been published of the admiralty s
plans, and these may be recalled. 1t is
proposed to increase the strength of the
existing squadrons and to add other
squadrons. In summary, the new fleet
scheme involves the following additions
to our present fully manned force:
An additional battleship as flagship OF
the commander-in-chief of the home
fleets.
Two more battleships for the Atlantic
fleet, which is to be brought into home
waters and join the first fleet Of the home
fleets
A new squadron of eight battleships to
be added eventually to the first fleet.
A new cruiser squadron Of armored
cruisers, which is also to be added to the
first fleet,
Two more battleships, which are to be
added to the present strength Of six bat
tleships now in the Mediterranean, which
will in future be based on Gibraltar
A new cruiser squadron of armored
cruisers. which will be associated with
the augmented squadron Of battleships
at Gibraltar.
A large number OF additional torpedo
boat destroyers and submarines, which
must be placed in full commission.

been denied because of the danger to
other travel, the answer being given
that it is hardly safe to have an au-

that the time will come when some
concessions must be granted to auto

In addition there have been invited

lied.
New York.-The one thing the
brave heart of Sergeant Timothy j.
Leary, "of the Tenth United States in
fantry, yer honor" pines for is to be-
come a citizen of the nation which he
has served as a soldier for more than
twenty-three years.
As the rolling stone gathers no moss
neither has Sergeant Tim been able to
accumulate any citizenship, for he has
been ordered about from post to post
so often that he never has lived in
any one place for the full year, which
Is a prerequisite for naturalization.
Sergeant Tim, always on the move,
always with the proud title of Am
erican citizen dancing before his clear
soldiery eyes, arrived in New York on
the steamship Carrillo Of the United
Fruit company, in charge of a pris-
oner he was taking to Washington

In one year more" said Sergeant
Tim, Il will be able to retire on a
pension and then, believe me, l will sit
down in one place and not bulge till
l get my papers-till l have the legal
right to cast my vote and to call the
flag I've fought for my flag"
Sergeant Tim was born in Ireland
He came to the United States when he
was % years old, his broad chest COW
cring as much patriotism and as ar
dent a lover of freedom as ever pulls
ated in any mans bosom. He also
loved a scrap, did Tim. So the first
thing he did on his arrival was to en-
list in the Army.
For eleven months he was stationed
at Governors island. But before the
year was rounded out he was sent
with his regiment to Alaska. More
Jumps followed, and then more, so
that Sergeant Tim has not yet been
able to call any one place his home
for the requisite twelve months.
But his time is coming, and he says
he can never be quite happy until he
can march to the polls on election
day and cast his ballot.
