IMPORTANT EVENTS

T ONDON, Eng. Dec 13-In the
ugliest structure in London. the
- Crystal palace, which we are try
ing to save for the nation by popular
subscription as a memorial to the late
king Edward, It is now proposed to hold
a British Dominions exhibition in 1915
to show the national resources and
priucipaI industries by means Of a col
lection of objects illustrating the his
tory and present activities OF the BIT
iSh people in all parts OF the globe
The year 1915 has been chosen for the
eXhi bitiOn for the following reasons
II is the year during which the next
imperial conference viii take place; II
is the year when the prince Of wales
will celebrate his Z1st birthday ana II
marks the centenary Of the battle OF
Waterloo, since when peace has been
maintained between the British and
French nations
A Country OF Armies.
Great Britain viii soon become a
country Of armies While other coun-
tries, nay, even Germany, is satisfied
with one we have besides our regular
and territorial armies, an Ulster army,
with headquarters at Belfast, Nation
alist army with headquarters in Dub
lin, and Miss Sylvia PanShursts PEG
pies army" with headquarters IN Lon
don
The latter promises to give US a very
hot time when parliament reopens. The
suffraget leaders assure US that they

army will attend the sale and rescue

The army will storm the house Of
parliament and, invading Downing
street it will seize all the ministers and
put them into the newly opened subter-
ranean dungeons under the tower
London will be the liveliest town IN
the world and Americans coming over
here to see the show will be charged
admission.
II we are to believe German papers,
our present first lord of the admiralty,
Winston Churchill, is an even smarter
person than most people willingly con-
cede him 10 be, As my Amer
lean readers may remember, our
naval maneuvers this year were
suddenly stopped by an admi-
rally order Ostensibly IN order to
conceal the fact that the part OF our
navy which was playing the enemy
completely beat our defending squad
ron and in real warfare would have
been able to cover the landing Of hos
tile army strong enough to capture
London within fortnight. Everything
was done to prevent this fact from
leaking out and becoming known to the
people, and the government seemed to
be in great distress when the cOnser-
vative press published the sensational
piece of news.
Now German papers tell US that the
whole thing was a beautifully managed
ruse on the part of Mr.. Churchill to ere
ate a scare which would make ii easier
for him to get the enormously increased
amount which he has now announced
that he intends to ask for on next
years naval budget The Germans as
sert that while ostensibly everything
was being done to keep the success Of
the hostile fleets attack secret,
Churchill informed his bosom friend,
F. z. Smith, of his scheme and Mr..
Smith told lord Roberts all it was in
tended that the old fireeater should
know and lord Roberts. who enjoys as
much as anybody to see his name in
the papers, informed the editors over
the phone Of the dreadful revelation
made by the maneuvers and the gov
ernment's frantic efforts to prevent the
facts from leaking out.
