Lady Doyle, whose husband, Sir Ar.

On crimes and criminals, concurs with
him in bis idea about Sing Sing. The

nothing less than disgrace for state

didn't need any reports; saw the
place.
Il don't wish to pose as an authority
on English PRISONS" the novelist went
on, ''but doubt II we have any as In.
sanitary as Sing Sing, except perhaps
In very remote districts. Certainly
there are none in London or the larger
cities.
"The cells ought to be knocked three
or four into one. AS to the types Of
prisoners whom saw there, l should
say that 1t struck me that the great
mistake Of the penal laws is in their
failure to allow freer scope for treat
ment Of the individual.
But is there such a thing as an
American criminal?' he asked. There
In Sing Sing siw great numbers Of
men evidently Of foreign birth. Your

In all Of these opinions Lady Doyle
echoes her distinguished husband.
Sir Conan Doyle married Miss Jean
Leckie Sept. 10, 1907. She is his Sec
ond wife, and gives her husband much
sympathy and inspiration in his pro-
fession Of story writing. DR.. Doyle has
given up entirely the practice Of medi-
cine.

Increase Of Our Army
Would Be Inexcusable
Extravaganza
BY JOSERH L. BRISTOw. Senator
From Kansas
THINK that the European war
demonstrates that all we need

I THINK that the European war
demonstrates that all we need
for protection is a good feet of
submarines. 1t seems to be the
practice of European navies to keep
far out at sea or close in to port,
and a submarine manned by fifteen
or twenty men will sink BATTLE
ship that cost eighteen million dol
lars and is manned by more than a
thousand men in less than five min
utes. THE LEVIATHAN is APP
PARENTLY HELPLESS TO DE-
FEND ITSELF.
We do not need any more army
than we have now, and the increas-
ing of our army would be useless
and inexcusable extravaganza.
WE CANNOT BE ATTACKED BY
ANY ARMY OF ANY coNsE-
QuENcE. IT WOULD BE UTTERLY
IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANY NATION TO
TRANSPORT TO OUR SHORES AN
EFFECTIVE ARMY IF OUR COAST
WERE SUFFICIENTLY GUARDED

A Missouri housewife was cleaning

with clothing and was shut in. Just
ten days later some one in the garrett
heard pussy's feeble cry. and when the
lid was lifted 1t had barely strength
enough to crawl out.
1t had torn the clothing in the trunk
all to pieces in its clawings and had
gnawed the sides nearly through In sew.

singular circumstance was found In
the manner in which the cat took care
of itself after securing liberty.
Milk and meat and water were sci

a show Of dogs, usually Of the pet
class. This year the show was held
as usual, and 1t happened that girl

Is that Alice did not dream that her
dog would win blue ribbon (Which
means 1rst prixe). when she entered

lieved that her pet was about the cut

she was also aware that amongst 30

allied, a. It turned out, for to her dog
was awarded the blue ribbon a. the
best Of its breed. She was so over

-
THE war

At the half yearly general meeting
OF the Togo Kisen Kaisha, Mr.. Asano.
president of the company. stated that
the European war had dealt heavy
blow to their San Francisco and South
American services.
The estimated losses through the
Anyo Maru taking shelter in port for
SO days amounted to Y150,000, while
the Kiyo Maru's similar lying up for
~ days cost Y170,000. There were
other losses also to reckon with, be-
sides reduction in the government
subsidy. Altogether. as would be seen
from the report, there was a net loss
on the half years working of Y145,S11.
and consequently the directors could
not recommend payment of dividend.
= For the present period, however,
what with the rigid economy in expen-
diture being practised, and the un-
precedented activity now shown both
in the goods and passenger services.
there was a prospect. If nothing unto
ward occurred, of being able to pay a
IL per cent dividend on the preference
shares and of to per cent on the
ordinary shares.
The report having been adopted.
Messrs. Asano, Okura and Shirafshi,
were reelected directors. The net loss
carried forward, after deducting the
Y7S,996 surplus. brought over from the
previous haf-year. was Y137, 1875.

Nd AUSTRALIAN
MEAT TO Army
ON HAWAII

The embargo on the expectation OF
meat from Australia TO Hawaii Is
again in effect. say officers in the
Oceanic Steamship Company. The
steamer Ventura due at Honolulu TO
morrow morning is reported to have
left Sydney without the regular ship
ment for the United States army.
Heretofore it was agreed that ap.
proximately 20 tons of meat would
be permitted to leave Australia for
the islands under a guarantee that
it be used solely by the United States
government.
The beef supplied TO the army on
Oahu is contracted for with the Ha-
wall eat Company, which has been
making importations from Australia.
When the embargo was first placed
on Australian beef, the Hawaii Meat
Company which was bound by con-
tract to deliver beef to the army here
at a price based on Australian quota
lions, secured the accessory assur.
ances from the commissary depart
ment that the supply was to be used
for the government only. and this
proved satisfactory to the Australian
authorities. At no time has the army
figured as a direct importer.
The Hawaii Meat Company's con-
tract expires June 80. and when
tenders for the next fiscal year were
asked for some time ago, the same
concern was again low, but at price
per pound in advance of the present
contract, based 1t is understood on
American beef. A contract for only
six months instead OF a year was en-
tered into, the army officials hoping
that conditions would change before
the expiration of that time and the
price again drop.
The Ventura is expected to steam
to San Francisco at O'Clock tomor.
row evening. II left Sydney with
room for more than 100 cabin pas
sengers. About 20 travellers have
been booked to the coast at the agency
of G.. Brewer & Company. It is stated
there is sufficient accommodation for
all applicants.
