pendix A to the annual report Of MIR.
DANIELS, declared that "thc navy of
the United States should ultimately
be- equal to the most powerful main.
TUNED by any other nation Of the
world"
Admiral DEWEY and his associates,
of course. had In mind the British
navy. Three months before the war
In Europe II vas building fourteen
dreadnoughts Of $4,000 aud $500
tons, four to carry main batteries of
$50 inch guns and ten to be equipped
with 10 inch guns. Five of these
ships, including the now famous
Queen Elizabeth. were to have a
speed Of twenty-five knots. by this
time they ARE probably all completed.
II not all in commission. Other
dreadnouehts have since been laid
down in British yards, where con-
struction Is going on at high pres
sure speed. II may be observed that
the fourteen dreadnoughts building
In England in the spring Of 1914
should have no great difficulty In dis
posing Of u first line Of battle in q
fight on the high seas. This We un.
dertake to say Is the judgment Of our
" naval experts. men like Admiral
BRADLEY 4. FrsKE and Admiral
KNIGHT himself.
The British ships would have the
advantage OF guns OF longer range
and greater Furnishing power. and the
five ships of the Queen Elizabeth
class could manPuvre at higher speed,
three knots faster Mt least, than
any of u battleships. To clear the
air Of misconceptions 1t is we'll to
take n group OF the most modern
ships Of the British navy and com
pare II with our own line Of battle
fleet when n member Of the General
Board tells "A committee OF Congress
that tho United States should have
rs great n fleet as any other sea
Power in the world. What a heart.
breaking stern chase II would be for
our constructors, even II the neces.
sary appropriations could be ob.
tanned from Congress. The fourteen
dreadnoughts building in the British
yards in 1914 are less than one-third
Of Great Rritain's first line OF battle,
II battle cruisers are included, and
there need he no hcsitancy about In.
Guiding them.
II Great Britain comes out Of the
war with her fleet of drcadnoughts
almost intact-the AudaciOus has
been torpedoed-she will certainly moi
abandon her building programme
Will" any other nation is planning to
acquire II navy as large as her own.
American naval experts might we'll
be perpleXed to calculate how the
United States could cut down Eng.
lands lead by 1925. the year which
Admiral KNIGHT names for the ron.
summation of his plan TO make the
United States fleet equal to any in
the world. We could take the lead,
of course. IL the British and German
novies were to destroy each other In
III" North Sea, but Admiral KNIGHT
does not have such a 'debacle" In

Prisoners under sentence of death
are never left alone for a moment. In
England two warders are in attend

possibility of suicide or escape. Three
clear Sundays of life are allowed to

allowed, but not even the most init
mate relatives may kiss, embrace or
even take the hand of the prisoner.

any food within reason, may smoke
and may read what he likes. Just be.

"What am offered for this antique
violin?" he pathetically inquired. "Look
it over. See the blurred finger marks

notes of this fine old instrument the
brocaded danes of fair France may
have danced the minuet in glittering

Meant Well, But

Viscount French of Ypres often tells
an amusing story about French re-
view that he attended a good many
years ago.
General French, as he then was, at
tended the mems dinner in camp one
day, and as he puffed on his cigar he
noticed that 300 young Frenchmen had
nothing to smoke whatever.
Accordingly he sent to his tent for
three boxes of Havanas, and these
were quickly distributed among the
troops, rare treat truly. To show
their gratitude the soldiers without
consulting their sergeants lined up in
two files, marched toward the English
general, and, raising their right hands
to their caps and holding their lighted
cigars in their left hands, they shouted
as with one voice:
"Vive la Russell"
They had mistaken the uniform
