MORE BATTLESHIPS.

As an indication that the Euro
pean nations expect long war two
TENS in Yesterdays papers were
significant. These brought from
both England and Germany the in
formation that the tremendous in
ternational competition for fighting
machines on sea is to be kept up.
England officially states its navy
will have an accession of strength
within the next twelve months OF
not less than ten first class ships,
fifteen cruisers, and twenty de-
,troyers. Germany declares that
members of the reichstag have eN-
pressed their readiness to guaran-
&c the necessary sums for replac-
,ng lost ships and immediate ex-
ecution Of The measures adopted in
l912.
The race for sea power will 60 on
cyen though the German feet, bot
led up in the Elbe, is helpless. The
Kaiser is determined to keep up his
program, and England, perforce,
must build more ships to maintain
that supremacy which it considers
c ssentiaI to its continuance as a free
country.

THE REPORTED VICTORY

Since the first encounter OF the
German invaders and the allies at
Mons and Charleroi on August 23
The world has been holding its
breath, fguratively speaking, wait
ing for a decisive battle between the
hundreds of thouGands of men under
arms on both sides. There have
heen much skirmish fighting, many
nitched battles, in several of which
more men were engaged than was
the case at the battle of Gettysburg,
and at least two encounters on Il
grand scale. Thanks, however, to
the excellent work of the allied COM
manders, their armies, constantly re-
treating, have been kept intact.
There has been no rout.
Now another great battle is on,
and it would seem the Germans are
making their most determined at
tempt to crush the allies. They are
pouring new men on TO the nrlng
line and have brought their forces
ITO action in such Il way as to in
dicate a plan to crImpie up the
allied line, if possible, throwing the
left wing back into Paris and sur
rounding and capturing the army in
the center.
At the very start of this engage
ment the allies seem to have won an
r advantage through a victory over n
nrtion of the German right wing.
r he extent of this Is not yet estab-
shed. BIZ. if the pending battle is
be a decisive battle a -ictory for
he allies in the beginning will have
IN excellent effect on the morale of
ne troops.

knights in armor. Feudalism, which
had been built upon knightly
prowess in battle, tottered. From
that time the king and the common
people rose in influence, the feudal

when it does come it will determine
the fate of militarism as Crecy de-
termined the fate of feudalism.

DIPLOMACY'S USES.

It is reported that the German
chancellor and the foreign minister
nave resigned, as result of the
Kaiser's bitter criticisms.
He blamed them first for England
getting into the war, and second
for Italy keeping out.
Seemingly, the Kaiser was Wiling
to admit that he himself made the
var. He merely wanted diplomacy
to insure, when he was ready for
his war. that things would line up
so that he would be sure to WIN.
1t was rather too large an order,
and diplomacy broke down under
the strain.

loaned by the owners for a play-
ground, and this venture also
proved SO successful that the lot
was later bought by the city for
a public playground, now called
Rosedale Playground. This was

residents of Noel House. Through
this settlement also the first school
