Although the Russian navy has been
considered n negligible quantity in the
war, it will probably give a good ac-
count Of itself.
When war was declared Russia was
adding 10 her navy eleven dread
%noughts, including battle cruisers.
Eight Of the eleven were laid down
IN the Baltic and three in the Black
Sea. Four battleships, OF $4,000
tons and carrying twelve II inch
guns, We're launched In the sum
mcr ANA autumn of 1911. and the
presumption Is that they are now
in commission. Three other bat
tIeShIpS of the same class We're after
ward laid down, M In 1912, another
IN 1913 and the third last year. Be
fore the end of 1912 four giant battle
cruisers were begun these ships will
lie of 32,000 tons and carry main bat.
tcrlcs Of twelve IA inch guns. The
four ~battleshipS that should he com.
p,ctcd and commissioned. as also the
great battle cruisers, were intended
for service in the Baltic.

and nineteen submarines. 1t NAV bp

type have been completed. The
Minister Of Marine. Nice-Admiral

and interchangeable energy. For four
years he has had charge not only Of
the construction of ships but the
training of officers and men. Under
his direction Of affairs, and with the
cordial support Of the Duma. the new
navy, modern in every respect, has

Emigrant From New Haven.

To II EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir. II
Is sad indeed to learn from your CORE
spondents on minated Hearts how
unreformed and lacking in cultural and
artistic development man Is to-day.
The idea of a man expecting to reach
n maiden's heart by any Of the strains
OF Bach, Chopin. Beethoven or even
LISTS 'Liebestraum' is at least one
reason why there are so many bachelors.
Let man educate himself so at least
he can give an outward appearance
OF appreciation of some of the soulful,
s~yncopated compositions learn to dance
the aesthetic, graceful, up to date dances (:
practise gum chewing so he can do 1t
as delicately and unnoticeably as
young Ladies' do give up his boorish
hahi of dining and acquire the refined
custom OF swallowing things taken
from the tin. then the psychological mo-
ment Is Mt hand. The electric spark
flashes. his magnetism will be just too
fascinating and e can make his choice.
His married happiness will not he an
Illusion either.

Making Up the Contraband List rs
She Goes Along.

England's declaration of cotton as
absolute contraband' suggests that
before the end Of the her contra
band list may Include every product
that the enemy wants for any pmr-
pose. Yet early In the conflict Eng
land took the Declaration of London,
with some notifications, as her chart,
although she had never ratified It
The Declaration (Article 2S) put cot
ton among the articles that may moi
be declared contraband of war" 1t
was ON August ~. 1914. that "the
Kings Most Excellent Majesty" or
dered "that during the present hos
tilittes the convention known as the
Declaration of London shall. subject
to the following additions and modifi-
cations, be adopted and put in force
by his Majesty's Government as IL
the same had been ratified by his
Majesty"
Cotton VA not mentioned in the
additions and notifications" which
made over or qualified certain pro-
visions of the Declaration to suit the
British point Of view. Previously.
on August 4, an Order in Council an.
npunced a list Of c%ontraband articles
repeating the list of the Declaration.
but transferring aircraft and accesso-
ries from the conditional to the abso-
lutte column. Now by the Gdsctte
cotton is made absolute contraband."
and despite the precedent established
by England for herself during the
Russo-Japanese war, when she pro-
tested to Russia that cotton should
not he made absolute but conditional
~contraband.
The question Is raised why Eng.
land recognized the Declaration of
London at adj in her second Order in
Council, and We suppose the answer
is that 1t suited her convenience, just
as It pleases her now to put cotton
on the absolute contraband list.
ut ought not altogether TO be left
to the discretion of b~elligercnts," says
OPPENHEIM, Ito declare any articles
they like as absolute contraband."
Evidently England does not subscribe
TO that doctrine. whatever she may
have thought Of It In the past.
