FUTURE ARMAMENTS. GREAT BRITAIN'S NAVY,

A striking article by the late Mr. Roosevelt in the Kansas City Star xo-) pudiates the idea that America wants a navy as big as the British, and describes the reported intention of Washington to build a navy in rivalry to Great Britain's

It was announced from the pruce ship that President Wilson was going to work: for a reduction of naval armaments and for a form of naval agreement which, if it existed four years ago, would have. meant Germany's victory and the sub jugation not only of Germany's foce, but of sil neutrals like ourselves.

In winning the present war very many instrumentalities have been necessary. On the whole, the four most important their order have been: (1) The French army.

NO MENACE TO THE WORLD. Great Britain is not a military power in the souse that any of the nations of Con tinental Europe, or, indeed, Asia, are military powers. She had almost as much difficulty in developing her Army in this war as we had in developing our army, Her Army is no more of a threat to other peoples than OBIS Therefore, w Americans find ourselves, as regards the British Navy, in this position, that it is of vital consequence to Great Britain to have the greatest Navy in the world; it is emphatically not of any consequence as Great to have a big A navy B Britais, for we are not in the slightest danger from Great Britain, and in all ordinary circumstances the British Navy can be counted upon as a help to the act ourselves to United States, and never as a menace.

Because of transportation conditions, we especially recommend the use of the parcel pest. Packages up to a weight of fifty pounds work can now be sent through the United States Postal Agency at Shanghai at the rate of 12c. per pourd or faction thereof. To other parts of China we can send packages up to elever pounds in weight at the same rate of prstage. In both cases, there is no limit to the number of packages. This is a very quick, economical and (fhoient way of ordering merchandise to-day.
We guarantee safe delivery whether the goods go by mail or freight. We obtain the export license necessary for exporting goods to China.

There on the lines of the Swiss foro, it is of the
