A Navy for Canada.

Canada is without a navy. The
order went forth in March from the
ministry Of marine to scrap" her
little fleet 1t consisted of two anti
quated British cruisers, one stationed
at Halifax fof the Atlantic and the
other at Esquimault for the Pacific,
with a number of auxiliaries, yachts,
trawlers and various small vessels
which were employed for coast defence
during the war Since the dominion
attained the status of nationhood she
has felt the need of something worthier
the name of navy than the makeshift
which has gone Niscount Jellicoe has
inspected her doors on the two great
oceans. considered her requirements
and resources, and presented several
schemes of naval defense from which
she may make a choice.
Discussing the situation in the cur
rent number of the American Review
OF Reviews, Sir Patrick Thomas Me-
Grath says that the Jellicoe report
puts before the Canadian government
four alternatives, ranging III annual
cost OF upkeep from S5000.000, for a
coast defense of purely local force, to
s25. 100000 for a naval arm proper
Tomato in Britain's. He refers to the
adverse criticism of the report in the
Canadian Parliament ON the ground
that. the war being over and Germany
powerless. the naval expenditure would
be wasteful. But he believes that
compromise is likely.
THE Imperial Government" he says,
has offered Canada free gift of ef
feetive British warcraft costing origi-
nally Sl6,000000, and Canada pro-
poses to operate them, which will
cost her $4,000 year. while
as others are required in the flu
ture she will build them
in her own 'shipyards and man them
from the mercantile marine which she
is now working in conjunction with her
railways" This, we presume, is the
probable compromise" to which he al
hides If it be adopted, it will give our
Canadian friends an easy and effective
start. free from Indictment to am
bilious naval competition. - Boston

Chinese Claim Invention of Cards.

The invention of playing cards has
has been attributed to various nations.
India is said to have known them from
the earliest ages. The Chinese claim
them as the invention of their emper
ors and they are additionally ascribed
both to the Arabians and the Egyp-
tians.
There is little doubt but that ,hey
originated in Asia at all early date and
were introduced into Europe at the
close of the 18th century, perhaps by
the Saracens. Historical mention Of
the game in Germany is made in 1915,
in Italy in 1900 and in France in 1893.
As early as the 18th century there
was an active production of playing
cards in Germany for the European
market In England 100 years later
similar business flourished But no
sooner did they come to be generally
used in Europe than several govern
ments prohibited them as immoral. Ed
ward " prohibited the game in Eng
land under penalty, but the law was
revoked by subsequent rules because
OF popular opinion.
Suit marks are supposed 10 have
been chosen 10 represent sNmooiHdilF
the different classes of society, Hearts
stood for the clergy; clubs for the sol
diers: spades for the serfs, and dia-
monds for the merchants. The face
cards in the beginning represented act
ual personages. The French deck
showed David, Alexander Caesar and
Charlemagne as the kings, representing
the monarchies of the Jews, Greeks,
Romans and French; the queens were
Argine. Esther. Judith and Pallas. Suit
marks of the European cards made IN
Germany were hearts, bells, leaves and
acorns. Italian cards were swords, bat
ons. cups and money. The club OF
modern cards derived its insignia from
the French trefoil.
In the 18th century English cards
were embellished with heraldic designs.
The king of clubs bore the coat OF
arms of the pope of Rome. Spades, dia-
monds and hearts were adorned re-
speotivelv with the armorial devices OF
the kings of France, Spain and Eng

PERSECUTE STATE
BANKS, IS CHARGE

Washington, Jan. 23.-Complaints
from state bankers against methods
of officials of the regional banks of
the federal reserve system are being
received by members of Congress,
Representative Reavis, Republican,
Nebraska, declared today in the
House, charging that agents and en-
ployes Of the regional banks have
started on a policy of oppression to-
ward state banks that can work only
disaster"
Mr. Resvis said the trouble arises
in large measure thru a difference
In the systems with reference to the
charging OF exchange on checks"
Representative Garner, Democrat,
Texas, said he also had protests from
state bankers, and Reavis rejoined
that 1t YVES almost a universal COM
plant among members of Congress-
Inquiry by the federal reserve
board, Reavis added. was answered
with just the ordinary stei eft ,ped re-
ply that the matter wculd be looked
into
"Officers of Federal Reserve
Bank" said Reavis, have collected as
high as $4,000 in checks against a
small bank in small town and men
have gone to that bank in an auto
mobile and demanded cash on the
checks in legal tender. That is an
oppression that IS likely to ciuse a
Jank. Il amounts almost to q con-
spiracy that would close bank and
somebody ought to be prosecuted for
that sort of conduct"
