Ee was only a lad when he had his first real taste of warfare in the Crimean conflict. Later he served in Chinese waters and took part in the conflict which was rendered memor- able by the assistance given to the hard pressed British vessels by an American naval officer, who later ex- plained his action by saying that "blood is thicker than water" With the passing of the years Fisher won reputation as one of the ablest of | British naval commanders, and in l1904 he became first sea lord of the | Admiralty. In 1909 he was created a baron, and the following year he re- tired, only to be recalled by popular demand when England faced its most terrible war As first sea lord from I1904 to 1910.

PARLIAMENT DEMANDS THE
 RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH

The first legislative body of modern times to claim the rights of free speech and free discussion was the English house of Commons, which de- clared in favor of such right on this date, Dec. 18th, in the year 1891. This brave declaration marked a most i'm portant step toward the liberties of England and of all the world. Prior to that time members of the Commons did not dare to criticize the ruling powers. It was this parliament which first formed the Court and Country parties, and which had engaged in dis putes with James I. Eight years after the declaration of free speech Charles L dissolved parliament, and it did not meet again for eleven years In 1640, however, what was called the Long Parliament" was convened. It was this House of Commons that first at tackled the House of Lords, and voted that the upper chamber was useless and dangerous to the liberties of the country. The bishops were also ex- cluded from voting on temporal mat ters. The House of Peers was abol-
 ished in 1649, but four years later Cromwell dissolved the Long Parlia- ment.
