London-The resignation of the
veteran sailor. Lord Fisher, from his
post of first sea lord of the admiralty,
because he and his nominal civilian
superior, Winston Spencer Churchill.

unable to work together. Is probably
the first step toward sweeping re-
organization Of the British govern

The retirement of several members
of the Liberal cabinet to make way
for the strongest men of the Conserv-

PRoGREssWEs BECOME DEMOCRATS


 some time ago. after it had become apparent tha the Progressive party was disintergrating and hearing great deal about prominent members Of that party returning to the Republican party. The Empire said that as soon as should become an established fact that the Progressive party was so of busi ness. We would discover a strong movement from ii to the Democratic party of men who would remain as long as the Democratic party accepted the leadership Of Wilson and Bryan. The statement was based par ticulary upon speech delivered at Seattle by VIII 2. Parry. who represented the Seattle Chamber of Commerce at Washington while the Alaska railroad fight was going on. The movement has now started in earnest.
 Last week at Seattle the King County Democratic Club gave banquet postponed from Jeffersons birth day. at which the toastmaster was George H. Walker. one of the leading lawyers scholars and pubicsts of that city. former president of the Rainier Club regent of the University of Washington prominent member of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and an orator of high degree For years he was one Of the strongest Republ can speakers in the West and at nearly every Senator ia election he urged to make the for United States Senator as Republican. account of his rec ognzed qualifications for that office. He supported Roosevelt against Taft and following the announce that Poindexer and other Progressyes had gone back to che Republican party he has cast his lot with Wilson and Democracy. lt IS said that he made mo- table speech in announcing his support of the Wilson administration and the Democratic party under it's lead ership
 Among the other speakers at the Democratic Jec- Serson banquet was James E. Bradford for several terms corporation counsel.

 through this thickly populated section | in profusion. In the shops situated
 within these departments most of the

 Moreover, here where is the great. est industrial development is. also. the most-intensive agriculture. Neigh. boring Belgians have not brought their farms up to a higher standard of production than has been reached by the fields of these northern French de- partments. Everywhere throughout this region, where there are no mines and factories. smiling gardens and fer tile, well cultivated farms take their place All Of the cereals. sugar beets, fruits. hops, tobacco. flax and large droves of cattle are grown upon them. Some of the best konwn dairies of France are in this territory.
