The Dutch government recalls it's
earlier protests against the British
and German measures relating to the
proclamation of a zones in the
North sea, and continues:
With all the more reason the gov.
eminent is obliged to object with ex-
treme energy against the regime now
announced, which not only applies to
much vaster areas but also acts on
neutral ships, whatever their cargo or
destination, and without discriminate
ing as to whether their presence in
said zones is voluntary or not"
1t is further pointed out hat even
had Germany qualified the new meas

struction of neutral ships would be
contrary to international law, which
only permits the c~onfiscation and o

The responsibility of the eventual
destruction of Dutch ships and the

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of a neglected
scalp; Of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of Its luster, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching Of the scalp, which
II not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and dle-then the

tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a % cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderlne from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. It will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance Of abundance; an Incompatible
gloss and softness, but what will
please you most will be after just a

Washington. - Secretary Lansing,
speaking at a banquet of Amherst

though the United States %undeniably

be spared the terrible calamity of be-

time" he said, "of anxiety for us all;
a time Of heavy responsibility for
some Of us. We are looking forward
into the uncertainties of the future,
and we are striving to read what it
holds in store for us and for u coun-
try. We can hardly close our eyes to
the fact that we are standing near to
the verge of the wal which for two
and a half years wasted the great EN-
pires Of Europe and brought untold
woes to mankind. "Ominous though
the situation may seem, there always
is the hope that our country may be
spared the terrible calamity of being
forced into the conflict. II is now, as
it has been from, the beginning, the
wish and ehdeavor of this government
to remain at peace with all the world

NAVY IS STRONGER

United States Makes Best Show

MAJOR VESSELS NUMBER 22e
Present Comparisons With Other Ma
tlons Difficult Because of Secrecy
Maintained by Countries
at War.

OF the two branches Of the armed
forces of the United States-the army
and the navy-the latter is by far the5
more formidable when compared with
the armed forces Of the other great
powers.
According to the latest records, the
American navy totals 1907, SOP tons
displacement, taking into account both
ships built and building.
This tonnage compares with the
following for the great powers on July
1, 1914, or about three years ago.:
Great Britain, 2,T13z56; Germany,
100000; France, S99,915 Japan, &c.,
DIG; Russia, T01,253; Italy. 497,815,
and Austria hungary, 372,OOs.
In the period since then these great
powers, all at war, have increased
their navies by giant strides. They
naturally have kept their naval de-
velOpments secret, but it is known, for
Instance, that in the first two years of
the wal Great Britain launched a new
navy fully equal in size to the whole
Of the United States sea fighting
forces.
Exactly how the American navy
compares with others today is impos-
sible for most experts to say. Perhaps
a few s~ecret-servlce men In the employ
of the big fighting governments know,
but If they do they are keeping this
valuable information for their own IA
TONS purposes.
The number of officers and men in
the United States navy on July l.
1915, was 5000. This compared with
pre-war strengths on July 1, 1914, Of
10000 officers and men for Great Brit
ain Germany, 79,107; France, 63,846;
Japan, 1913; Russia, 52,463; Italy,
Bo,913, and Austria-H Hungary, 1881.
1t has been stated in newspaper dis
patches that the officers and men in
the British navy now number $4,000,
and that a round million workers are
constantly employed in Great Britain
building new ships of war and repair
ing old ones. Less is known about
Germany's naval strength as developed
under the stress of war, but she is sup
posed to have between five hundred
and eight hundred new submarines in
commission.

Naval Militia.
To REINFORCE the navy there Is to-
day no regular reserve, although one
is contemplated. Former navy men
would be urged to re-enlist, retired Of
icers would be called back to the quar-

be utilized as far as found available.
This force is now organized in %
states, the District Of Columbia and
the territory Of Hawaii, and has a total
enlistment Of S,517 men. New York
has the largest number Of naval mill
tiamen-1,49S; and other leading
states in this respect are California,
