Captain Hebson Criticized. Captain R. P. Hobson is. the Daily Chronicle presumes, the gallant young naval officer who distinguished himself in the harbour of Santiago, ́ and still more by a kissing expedition in his native land. This reached such magnitude, indeod, that". Captain Hobson was in a fair way to kiss the entire female population of the United States when his jealous superiors interven- ed, and ordered him off to Manila, There he has been brooding over the greatness of his country, and we have the outcome of this rumination in a remarkable essay, entitled America Must Be Mistress of the Seas.' Captain Hobson is led to this conclusion by contemplating the superlative grandeur of the American people in all the departments of energy. They possess a soil which could support the whole of human life without exhausting an acre. They heat the world in physical and mental capa- sity.

that of the American Navy. Did it not whip the British in 1312? The wonder is that we retained Canada after this homilia- tion; but Captain Hobson explains that tha United States hold Canada as a hostage of the British Empire.'
Hitherto our kinsfolk over the Atlantic have shown a striking moderation in the use of their advantages. But Captain Hobson Fees that the day has come for bold and unflinching enterprise. The Monroe Doctrine must be extended over the whole

BEGIN in time. The first symptom is
hoarseness, this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recog nized and will nover be forgotten by one who has heard it.. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Cham-- berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given, all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in given this remedy as it contains nothing injurious. It always cures and cures quickly. For sale by All Dealers: ; WATKINS Ltd., General Agents.

You cannot establish the Monroe Doctrine handsomely in Asis without a navy superior to all other consider- Britain maintains FI able naval power; but Captain Hobṣwn sees in this merely a stepping-stone for American supremacy. Indeed, the pr portions would not be strained if the Navy of the United States equalled the combined navies of the earth.' Nothing less can cope with the responsibilities to which Americans are beckoned by the finger of fate' and the will of God.'

A Moscow Correspondent writes that the St. Petersburg Gazette gives some inter- esting figures about the Japanese Army, According to these figures Japan has almost trebled hor Army in the past ten years. Counting in as available for war both her First and Second Reserves, the total forces fully trained are now 509,96Q officers, non- commissioned officers, and men. The cost to the State of the men on actual service is about 250 yen per man, or not more than two-thirds the cost to Russia of her Army, which is the cheapest in Europe, and just about half the cost per man of Germany's Army, which is the most expensive. The simpler tastes of the East sufficiently ac- count for this factor; but the most striking point is made by comparing the figures of population with the Army totals. This shows that, while France takes as many as 15 per
1000 to make up her Army, Ger many takes ten, Russia six, and Japan only

In all my long experience here, said Mr Danby, I have never known of a house collapsing that has been built in strict accordance with the present Building Regulations. After the sad experiences of last year, Mr Sharp thought that no precaution should be left unutilised in order to prevent this shocking loss of life. At the same time there was no neccssity to adopt unnecessary restrictions, and he de sired to know from Mr Chatham if he concurred with Mr Danby.
The statement that the supply is satis- factory is distinctly contrary to fact, and the only officer of the department I can hear of as having visited the houses is Solomon. He spoke to my servant, but no one has made any enquiries of my next

A QUARRY CASE.
Li Ping, building contractor, of 10, High Street, Victoria, sued Chan Tung, also a contractor, for $16,000 damages for quarry- ing on plaintiff's land at Ma-ta-kok.

He was surprised to find that when the Director of Public Works penned his return at that very time he had in his hands an unanswered letter distinctly contrary to that statement.

Mr Sharp said that several complaints having been made about the table, which were confirmed in the statement now placed uon the table, he secondod the resolution, simply for the purpose of ventilating the matter publicly.
Mr Chatham said he had endeavoured in the short time which had intervened since the last meeting, to verify from the various parties whose houses appear in the report laid before the Council, the remarks made therein. He had been able to secure the information he wanted in 28 or 29 cases, and 23 of these corroborated what be had stated in the report. The remaining five or six left the matter rather doubtful

WHAT YOU
WANT TO KNOW
about a life assur-
ance company is
just what you
would want to know
about a bank or any
otlier institution
...in which you
thought of investing :-
What is the company's earning ability as shown by its past history?
What is the outlook for future dividenda as indicated by its accumulated surplus?
These two ques-
tions answered,
and the rest is of secondary importance. Any
agent of the Equitable

these questions--
