from $25 to $50 per month.

ficulty, on which the British and
Americans take diametrically differ
ent positions.
The Americans have asked for the
right to build 5000 ton cruisers SO
that eight inch guns could be mounted
thereon, and have requested that no
attempt be made to place a definite
limit on the size of secondary
cruisers.
The British seek low tonnage
cruisers with six inch guns.
The Japanese do not really enter
into this cruiser controversy, as none
Of their cruisers are due for replace
ment before the expiration of the
projected treaty in 1896. They have
iour 1900 ton cruisers carrying eight
inch guns, but these could be taken
care of by special disposition in the
treaty. i,' q 2.iu-
The Americans are not only in
sisting on the liberty to mount eight
inch guns on secondary cruisers, but
are contehding that any agreement
to restrict the number of 10000 ton
cruisers to about IL must be condi-
tional upon this very freedom of
action as to size of armament Of
the smaller cruisers.
LONDON July 10 (Rl-The report
was current in London newspaper
quarters this evening that the return
from Geneva of w. G.. Bridgeman
and Lord Cecil was surprise to the
government, which had not been
notified of this, and the assumption
was voiced that the naval conference
had broken down.
This was entirely unconfirmed, and
nothing official could be gathered in
support OF this aspect of the case
1t is Understood that the cabinet
discussed the Geneva situation during
the day, and Premier Baldwin had
talks on the subject with the foreign
secretary, Sir Austin Chamberlain,
Lord Balfour and Admirals Beatty
and Jellicoe. XII
No official statement with refer
ence to these meetings was issued,
asking him and Lord Cecil to come
to London, to discuss the situation
before Premier Baldwin's departure

Helping Santa Claus
-Assisfdnfs Needed

HER children had had such a
L jolly Christmas. Their Joy
and delight had been q Joy and de-
light to see. But that Christmas
afternoon she heard Of a story that
saddened her. A little girl and O
little boy had gathered a tree from
the woods and had left Il for Santa
Claus to trim.
Eagerly Christmas morning they
had gone down stairs to see the
tree, but It was just as they had
left It. Santa Claus had not come,
and they had followed all the rules
they had been told about calling up
the chimney to him.
Their family were both poor and
lacking In imagination. Struggle
and iii health had driven any lurk-
ing imagination from them.
{ So she went that evening, her
arms laden with tree decorations
and odds and ends Of candles and
toys and asked IL she might trim
the tree. The next morning the
children were told that Santa Claus
had not forgotten them-he had
had to dash over to the next town
to do so much that he had been
delayed. Santa Claus needs his
assistants, and no job In the world
is much more fun than that of be-
ing an assistant 10 Santa Claus
