ENGLISH NAVY IS
 ACTING ON WELL PREPARED PROGRAM

London, Jan- 14.-The query. so of ten asked in the papers what is the navy doing? ?" is beginning to make the navy people angry. One officer has answered in the following man ner:
 ..It is aggravating tq hear the un- thinking person imply that we are do- ing nothing. Herr Bal1in, manager of the Hamburg-Amerika. line, says we are lurking in our harbors. Let me say that from the first of August to the middle of November my ship has sailed 17,000 miles, and we have never been very far from the grand fleet. We are playing our own game, not the Germans. The minimizing ask why we do not go in and attack KieI, Wi1helmshaven, Cuxhaven and Heliogoland. Not much. We have our own plans, and the Germans are certainly not going to lure our sp1en- did fleet into their ,mine-infested areas and under their Actresses, with the added danger of submarines.
 We are not out to fight fortresses. We are after their ships. Guns are put into ships so that they can be moved about, and the Germans are not increasing their efficiency by re- maining under the protection of their forts. We are adding to our eff1cien- cy every day, taking every opportup- ity for the practice of gunnery, the use of torpedoes, and also battle tac- tics, practicing under every condition of weather. As things stand, the seas are clear for British trade. Let those who say we are doing nothing imagine what would happen if we were really doing nothing What would become of our islands in that event?
 Our time will come to get into the lime1ight. Meantime, we are content to watch and wait..'

DYE STUFES TO BE
 R0vlDED BY ENGL ISH
Modified Methods Adopted By Britain's $ Mills at Once
 Because of Patent Laws

2 Washington, Jam 14.-An English technical college has Justified it's place in the industrial scheme by inventing a. process for applying sulphur dyes to wool. silk. artificial silk hemp, and miscellaneous articles, such as ostrich feathers The process. compared with the aniline dye process, is so much cheaper in machinery and in waste of the goods dyed, so much more con- venient in it's lower temperature and it's application to all kinds of material in the same bath, and so much more effective for delicate work that Ger many has probably lost her English dye market forever.
 England could test out the method promptly because large supplies of sulphur dyes were lying idle in the Lancashire print mills ready to be used for cotton. Over a score of firms have now adopted the modified meth cd for other textiles. Some of their new product is proving it's worth in the battlefields of France.
 One of the reasons why England so quickly and widely gets the benefit of this invention is the fact that no one has been allowed to monoDoIize it. Each firm using it pays royalty tp the patentees.
 The chief handicap upon American invention in the present emergency IS t4I0 ty11S up OF VaF1OuS IOrnulae and processes through patents Tn most foreign countries 8 patent must be used commercially within three years of it's taking out or lose it's force, Here a patent holds good whether used or not, It is often more profit able for a weH-estabIished firm to buy up 8 patent and keep it idle than to allow it to fall into a competitor $ hands.
 A change in the patent laws that would insure to the public the benefit of any valuable invention would give the United States a fair field with foreign trade rivals.A She needs nc favors, for England does not often reach the goal first, as she apparently has reached it here, in a matter of technical skill and ingenuity

COLLIER WILL BEAR ART TREASURES TO.
 PANAMA EXPOSITI0

Paris, Jan 14-An art collection on navy collier is a departure from recognized artistic standards which now is being arranged. When the U. s. s. Jason leaves Europe it will carry as part of it's cargo many works by American artists for exhibition at San Francisco. As an added in centive the Panama Pacific Exposi- ton has. reserved a special section for the works of nonresident artists.
 Juries composed of recognized mas ters in Paris and London have weeded out much of the undesirable or freak ish, until decidedly representative collection has been obtained. The war has had little appreciab1e effect as with only one or two exceptions, the jury is the same as was chosen to meet early in August when the outbreak of hOstiIities made it neces- sary to postpone the meeting indefin- itely.
 From the 75 works which were submitted to the Paris jury, IT were
 accepted. They consisted chiefly ot fgures and landscapes of Brittany seventeen are Charles Thorndyke
 Edwin O'ConneIl, Lionel Walden Park Dougherty. Max Pohn and sev- eral others.
 The jury composed of Walter Me l Ewen as chairman, Walter Grimen W. T. Dannat, H. A. Tanner, MyroT Barlow and Harry Vanderweyden 1 have all decided to send some rep resentatfve work. Many of the ex-
 hibitors express anxiety concerning
 Transportation. Special care is nee essary in packing, as owing to the ldampness and moisture in "a ships I hold, the risk, of the canvasses be. coming Tnildewed is great. Many other difficulties have been expert. enced, such as obtaining consular re. ceipts. in order that the pictures and frames may be exempt from duty.

Gunpowder and Rain.

London, Jan 14.-English scien- tists have again been compelled to as- sure the public that neither the smell of powder nor the concussion of gum fire has the slightest connection with rainfall. From several sources it had been asserted that the heavy and per sistent rains recently experienced in Southern England and Northern France were attributed to atmospher- tc disturbances produced by artillery fire at the seat of war.
 Like the supposed influence of the moon upon weather, the popular be- lief that powder brings rain is base less g writes a scientist in the Times.

Germans Flee Rome.

Rome, Jan. 14.-According to a special police census just completed, while the number of British. French and Russian residents in Italy has greatly diminished since the war, the number of Austrians and Germans has considerably increased. It is es- timated that there are now about 700, 900, besides many natura1ized Italians of Austrian or German orig in.
 The German and Austrian embas- sies, fearing that the publication of the census pre1udes expulsion, are now encouraging repatriation and are issuing passports and recommend ing the departure Of their nationals as soon as possible. Many Germans have already left and others are winding up their business and selling theirs property here.
 The embassies admit the expedien- cy of hastening these departures to prevent eleventh hour confusion.
