Learns Lesson from Germany.

The fact that the German authorities
have during the last few years been en-.
tering more officers in the navy each
year than England has forced the Mis-.
tress OF the Seas TO the conclusion that
officers are really more necessary than
new SIMPSON the theory that il a coun-
try has new material without trained men
to use it, ii is in a worse position than Il
il has plenty officers and has TO put them
in obsolete ships.
The Admiralty is 50 much interested
IN securing possible naval officers that I,
has lately published a little handbook
entitled The Entry and Training Of
Naval Cadets" which sets forth exactly
what kind Of boy Is suitable FOR train.
ing: how he will be trained; what the
cost TO the parents will be, and what his
prospects will be. In telling Just what Is
the right sort Of boy for the feet the
booklet says:
There is scope and need in the raw
for many types OF men and varieties OF
talent, for the cultivated faculty OF scien.
tihc thought and for the personal force
that assures leadership. But whatever
the variety OF talent, a naval officer Is
a man OF action. Accordingly, that boy
has the best chance who is resourceful,
resoute, quick TO decide and ready 70
act on his decision. He must be no slack
er, but keen in work and play. He should
be sound alike in wind and limb, and 10
the big and little principles Of conduct

d. Stuart Dodge. president OF the board
Of trustees Of the Beirut American College,
inferred, from the fact that he had not
been notified, that the attack OF the
brigands was not serious.
He corroborated the supposition that II
was the Syrian Protestant College to
which reference was made.
There are numberless Arab bands con-
tinually preying upon unarmed persons

been trouble with these lawless bands be-
fore, but nothing Of n serious nature

III that M Rarnes had political

ground that Mr.. Barnes had political
control here. Mr.. Roosevelt asked a
change Of venue. Supreme Court JUS
tice Chester denied the motion. but the
appellate division today reversed his
decision by vote of four to one JUS
tice Howard of Troy dissenting.
The decision Of Onondaga county as
the place of trial has aroused the re-
sentiment of the friends Of Mr. Barnes
here. They contend that, if there is
any merit in the argument that Mr.
Barnes influence might have an effect
on jurors, it should be aplied to Onon-
daga county, where the progressive
party finds its greatest strength in
the state. Syracuse, the metropolis OF
Onondaga, is the only city in the state
with a progressive mayor.
1t also is pointed out that Francis
Hendricks, the republican leader In
Onondaga. has for years been friendly
to Roosevelt and hostile to Mr.. Barnes.
In the prevailing opinion 1t Is stated
that the charges Of the Roosevelt law
yers in regard to Irregularities or
favoritism on the part Of any Albany
county officials utterly failed" but
that neither party should be compelled
to try the action in the county In which
the other party resides.
Jurors are individuals" says the
opinion. land are subject to impress
sions and influences Of which often
they are themselves unconscious, The
fairness Of the trial should be above
suspicion and the place of the trial
should be one as to which neither party
shall have reasonable ground of appre-
hension as to the strict impartiality OF
each juror"

and Wounded I

London, Nov. 26.-Thus far during
the war the royal navy mas lost 4,S27
officers and men killed and 473
wounded, while 96s are missing and
1870 are captives or have been in
termed.
These figures are contained in a
statement issued last night, by the ad-
mirality, and include, in addition to
naval men, the marines of the royal
naval division. The casualties and the
number of men captured or interned

Officers-Killed 220; wounded, 81;
prisoners, s: interned, 46.
Men-Killed, 41O7; wounded, 1876;

A great majority of those reported

lives in this manner when the cruis-
ers Pathfinder, Aboukir, Cressy and
Hogue were sent to the bottom by Ger
man submarines. while the laundering
of the Monmouth and Good Hope, after
the action with the German squadron
off the coast Of Chile, was responsible
for the loss of 1854 officers and men

said by the admiralty to be prisoners

The paper continues:
1.-The most famous case Of color
named after a battle is magenta. 1t
was invented shortly after the battle
of Magenta in 1859, at which the
French and Sardinians, under Marshal
inflicted a sensational de-
fat on the Austrians, and MacMahon
won his title Of duke of Magenta.
The color magenta is interesting In
another way. 1t was one Of the first
of the aniline dyes to be invented. 1t
was very brilliant crimson, and it had
an enormous popularity for that rea-
son. 1t was the first time that people
had seen the peculiar brilliancy Of
aniline glare. The mass OF people did
like it from the first. but people with
any pretensions to aesthetic taste
counted it a fatal defect Of the new
aniline colors. The chemists tried to
meet their criticisms, and succeeded in
softening or 'saddening' many aniline
colors. Nowadays t-impressionism
has upset aesthetics, and the brilliant
colors which the mass of unsophisti-
Gated people innocently loved all along
have now got fairly into fashion"
France is purchasing in Catalonia
goods that she never bought there be-
fore, and, with view to developing
new foreign markets, considerable ac-
tivity has been shown In the manu-
facture of tissues, electrical supplies
and machinery. The foreign market for
mineral ores have been cut off, many
mines are idle, and to avoid conse-
quent misery among the mining pop
ulation the government has commenced
public works in those provinces and
devoted 20,00O,O00 pesetas (about
$5,000,000) to the purpose.
In order to develop industries the
government has also issued decree
exempting from duty during the first
four years existence all the dutiable
raw materials which it is necessary to
import. This measure mas encouraged
the establishment of industries for the
manufacture of chemical products
which it Is now impossible to procure

pata personally has entered Mexico
City and has denounced the Aguescal-
ienets convention, according to a mes
sage from the capital given out by the
Carranza agency here.
1t was stated also the General Blan-
CO, with his troops, had reached Oriza-
ba, midway between the capital and

The Carranza partisans are 1ubilant,

Villa DisbeIieves Reports.
The Villa agents professed disbelief
Of the reports from Washington and
Mexico City that there had been dis
orders in the capital.
General Villa, who was at Tula. two
hours by train or automobile from
Mexico City, was quoted as having
said that he had received no word OF
disorders at Mexico City nor OF the
change of government.
He discredited the report, however
because he stated that Felicitas Villa
real, convention cabinet member
had arrived at Tula yesterday with the
report that Blanco was in perfect ac-
cord with the convention party.
Villa iritimated that he would hasten
into the capital with cavalry.
Carry Out Carranza Plan.
1t was declared that the Carranza
leaders from the beginning had in
tended to allow the Zapata forces to
enter Mexico City before the Villa
troops in order to demonstrate that
Zapata and Villa could not maintain
order. BY pitting the southern and
northern leaders 1t was expected to
strengthen the Carranza power.
Blanco did not evacuate previously
it was pointed out. on account of fear
Of American Intervention.
