Although not a politician, he would like to see the friendship of Japan cultivated, for it was worth more than any amount of armament.

MAN WHO WAS GIVEN 6 HOURS TO LIVE.
CURES HIMSELF AND CON- FOUNDS 12 DOCTORS. Dramatic testimony of a remark
The United States has thirty-two cruisers, and proposes we are tak- ing the official programme and leaving aside the new proposals of the Chairman of the Naval Affairs Committes in the House of Repres sentatives to build eight, of which only two have been actually begun, so that by the time the batch has been sent afoat, five or seven years hence, the American fleet will cer tainly be no stronger in this respect than it is to-day, since quite as many older vessels will have gene to the scrap-heap in the meantime. France has in hand three cruisers and intends to lay down three more, while Italy has the same number projected, and has two oa the slips. It is true that practical-able return to health was made at a ly all these ships will be of the recent meeting of the New Health maximum Washington displace Society by a Mr. E. S.

But there is no reason to believe people were being slowly poisoned that if no conference had been held by an unnatural diet and artificial
purgatives #t Washington a smaller number of cruisers would have been begun
The tendency in most foreign countries is to invest the naval funds which are available in mor quito craft that is destroyers and submarines the number of which is rapidly increasing. Misconception prevails that such vessels are cheap in construction and maintenance, and that the Great War showed that they were "the weapons of the weaker Power." There is no foun-class life by an insurance company, dation for either assumption, but it nevertheless exists in most foreign countries, with the result that im mense sums are being spent on amall ships, relying mainly or exclusively on the torpedo.
