The Capture of Canada.

Recently / asked a United States Army
officer how tong it would take to capture
Canada in the event of trouble with Eng
land. "About one week." was his reply
He assured me that lie was not speak
ing lightly or at haphazard, but he based
his statement on facts pigeonholed in the
War Department.
Canada is. for this reason. England's
own greatest argument in favor of the
Monroe Doctrine. Indeed. King Georges
most highly priced colonial possession is
protected as much by that message sent
to Congress 80 years ago next December
by James Monroe as is the United States
itself.
OF al the countries in the world which
might do something hostile to the Monroe
Doctrine. England will be the very last
to act. 1t has Canada to lose and moth
ing whatever to gain. But Monroe never
dreamed anything SO foolish as to pre-
tend the United States would object to
England's protecting its own American
Possessions. such as Bermuda and
Canada. hiladelphia Ledger.

is preponderance of male births
after a war. and that male births pre-
dominate in Warlike nations. Thus
we find that Servia has 100 men for
every so women, and we may expect
a still further increase of boy babies
to compensate for the heavy losses of
the present struggle. Servia is said
to have lost at least 5000 men
against the Turks, and now her very
Christian allies have probably dis
posed of good many thousand more.
But if nature does really try to keep
the balance true in the varying pro-

would be interesting to know how she
does it, Have the hopes and desires

the latest revolution started with the
announcement of the governor that

The present danger to Anne rieans

thought the nare-up would be serious.

So far as naval authorities here
are informed, the Dominican navy
consists of two or three converted
yachts, armed with six-pounders and
machine guns. They could cause
enormous damage to an unfortified
town like Puerta Plata especially since
it is largely of wooden construction
and might easily be set afire.
