hcials of the State Department in an
effort to settle the claims growing out
Of the recent fatal shooting of one
American and the wounding of another
in Canadian territory.
The cases are those of William Smith,
who was killed. and Charles Dorsch,
who was wounded. Both of the men
resided in Buffalo. n. Y. and the shoot
ing occurred while they were duck
hunting in Canadian waters. The shots
were fred by Canadian militiamen near
Fort Erie, who took the ground that
the Americans had not only no right
to hunt in Dominion waters. but had
violated military order forbidding
unauthorized persons to approach the
international boundary armed. Deep re-
gret over the serious effect Of the Ca
madam shots was expressed at the time
and Canadian officials expressed a will
ingness to compensate Dorsch and the
family Of Smith.
The amount of the sums to be paid as
an indemnity for the shooting has not
been determined. State Department Of

difficulty in making satisfactory ad-
iustment in both cases.

GREAT RELIGIOUS
REYIYALS.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The revivalist has been an important
figure in Christian history from the
time Of John the Baptist to Billy Sun
day. Each great revival effort has left
some distinct impression upon the
progress Of the church. John the Bap-
tist prepared the people to receive
Christ. His sacrifcial life in the will
derness indicated the abandonment Of
temporal affairs required of the leader
who would guide a people to spiritual
truth. The apostles emulated him in
giving up their vocations to preach
Christs message to the multitude, who
in most cases received It gladly.
st. Francis stands out as the great
spiritual revivalist following next to
the apostles. He and his followers un-
doubtedly brought higher spiritual
life before the minds and hearts of the
people of the twelfth century. After
the revival Of st. Francis had fallen
into the background. Savonarola en-
tered upon his great work in Florence.
the influence of which was felt
throughout Italy. Thousands who
spired to renounce worldly things and
devote their lives to religious fervor.
Women crowded the public squares,
fiinging down their ornaments and
snowy clothing before him. He made
nuSe Donures OF VhHlties' oestfoy Ing
cards. dice. carnival clothing. books of
licentious poetry and obscene pictures.
The violence OF Savonarola's denunci-
atoms did not spare those in authority
or even the Pope himself. The revival
list was charged with heresy. although

nounce some OF his teachings He re-
fused this, SO was excommunicated and
charged with many crimes, OF which he
was innocent. His enemies were finally
able to have him put to death with two
of his disciples, but the gospel he
preached lived after him.

They went to England first in 1873, re-
turning to their own country little
later. Their revival meetings held in

Worlds Greatest
Religious Revival.

of a number of religious efforts ex-
tending over most of Europe. Martin
Luther in Germany. Ulrich Zwingli In
Switzerland and Tyndale in England
were each working in his own way for
spiritual awakening. Each converted
thousands of people to experimental
Christianity by his own example and
inspired eloquence. Preceding them
were Wickliffe in England and Huss in
Bohemia.
The early revivalists labored under
great physical peril. They violated the
laws of the government in denouncing
the evils of established religions. Often
they suffered penalties Of persecution.
Imprisonment. torture and even death.
These penalties only added to their fer
vor and increased the influence they
had over their followers.
During the century following the ref
ormation the English church acquired
so much ritual and form that the true
spirit Of Christ seemed hidden. The
revival Of the Wesleys was needed to
bring Christianity once more before
the people as a living issue. The lead
er Of this revival was John Wesley,
who became associated with Mora
Wan missionary named Peter Boiler.
Under his influence Wesley received
the revelation Of conversion and imme-
diately began to give it to the world.
His first important appearance was at
out of doors to a company Of more
than 5000. This was the beginning OF
the great revival which swept over
England like a mighty wave. Wes-
ley's work extended over half CEN

PREFER DREADNAUCHTS
TO BATTLE CRUISERS
Naval Experts Willing to Take
Faster Vessels Only - Ad-
| dition to Program.

Naval experts figure that it will require
an annual naval appropriation of $780,.
100000. instead of the present average
of s140.O00.00O. il Congress decides to add
to the present type of naval vessels a
suitable proportion Of battle cruisers
such as have played prominent part in
the recent naval engagements in European
and South American waters. That esti-
mate is based on the theory that there will
be no interruption of the permanent plan
of naval Increase which contemplates the
addition of two dreadnaughts each year.
Ii the naval experts were required to
choose between building dreadn2 ughts or
battle cruisers they would unhes;tatiugly
turn to the dreadnaught type. and it is
stated by prominent officials that nothing
yet has occurred in the naval battles Of
the present war to change their original
belief regarding the superiority of the
dreadnaught type.
Dreadnaughts Placed First.
They are quite willing to accept prop
er proportion of battle cruisers, but in
sist that the first requisite is the compile
ton of the plan whereby the navy is to
possess forty-eight dreadnaughts Any
attempts to interfere with the steady and
constant addition of the latter type to the
navy would, it is stated. be strongly re-
sisted by the naval officials unless the ad-
dtions were over and above the allowance
made for the execution of the general plan
for a dreadnaught for every state in the
Union.
Admitting the advantage of high
speed poSseSsed by the battle cruisers
in certain cases. the naval experts feel
that they would stand no show what
tver against corresponding number
of dreadnaughtS because of the heavy
armor and defensive qualities of the
latter type.
Ample to Protect Coast.
No European feet could successfully
attempt to land troops or reduce the
fortifications of the Atlantic seaboard
so long as the United States has even
the twenty-one battleships which now
make UP the Atlantic fleet 1t would
of battleships, and even double the
number of battle cruisers could not ac-
complish that feat.
These experts believe that if the Ger
man fleet which was driven to cover in
the North sea after the loss .of the
Blucher had included even one or two
dreadnaushts. there might have been a
different ending. 1t is argued that no
battle cruiser of the Lion or Tiger type
of the British navy would have dared
to come within range of the guns of
such a dreadnaught. which, with her

In 1898 he began to hold special Sat

He also conducted many revival meet

years after the inauguration Of the

A four-week campaign in Melbourne
brought about 5000 converts. Several
months spent in different parts of Aus

The report OF this awakening stirred
all Christendom. Since then con-

Sometime ago Chief of Police Smith
arrested several persons on the charge
OF larceny for robbing gas meters. The
chief obtained a confession of guilt and
the three boys were held for court.
When the time for their trial came, for
some reason they were released. This
week, in the City Of Wildwood, there
we're ten houses or apartments entered
and meters robbed according to a state
ment by Mayor Smith. The question
which now confronts the taxpayer Is,
are the meter thieves encouraged in
Cape May County, or is there a new
set of thieves here, owing to the treat
ment the county gives a criminal?
