For a hundred years England
has policed the waterways that
commanded the seas. She has
had the ships of war and the
ships of commerce. She has held
the strategic points, islands,
rocks. She has been, what she
boasted, the ruler of the waves
and the mistress of the oceans.
1t can be said in her favor, that
on the whole, her sea-dominion
has been equitable and tolerable.
Indeed if it had been otherwise,
the nations would have been div
en- to league in order to change
an intolerable condition. A ty-
ranny of the seas would have
been less easily endured than a
despotism on the land. And the
fact that the nations, even if
they g%rumbled, have been con-
tent to leave the custodian of the
worlds sea routes in British
hands, demonstrates the tolar.
ableness of the British rule

Mr.. Geo. M. Serpell was called to
the bedside of his son, Robert, at
Washington and Lee and when the i'll
was diagnosed as appendicitis he was
taken to Richmond. After examina-

await future developments. Mr.. Ser

the attack might be renewed in ten
days it might not in five years. The
advice of the eminent surgeon was
