What 13 very likely to ho nt tho
head of tho list of "articles of tho

word of this author may be taken
the navy of tho United Stntes, when

than an aggregation of painted ships

"Tho most Important protection of
a battleship, outside of the hull Itself,
Is that given to lis magazines. Never,
since the use of powder upon lighting
ships, has there been such danger to
to the magazines as exists in every
battleship and armored cruiser In tho
American fleet. It Is a tlrst principle,
recognized oven In the days of wood
en frigates, that powder must not lie
passed directly up to tho gun-deck
thtotigh n vertical shaft. Tho open
turret of the United States battleship

In the practice of the world.
"The opeh turret Is a conical shaft
leading straight down Into tho hull of
tho ship. At tho top of this Bhnft tho
powder Is loaded Into tho heavy gun;

tho magazine; around thtsjiandllng

AMERICAN VIEW OF
LABOn IN HAWAII
Tho Council Dlults (la.) Nonpareil
publishes tho following editorial un
der the title "Hawaii Wants Amer
ican Settlers":
Gov. W. 1'. Krear of Hawaii, who
has. Journocd to Washington In
hopes of Interesting tho congregation
al pulse-string holders sunictcnlly to
Insure the pnssngo of bills In which
he Is interested, has Incidentally let
It bo known that ho has n plan for
the solution of Hawaii's labor prob
lem, concerning which moro or less
Is known In this country,
Governor t'rear says tho hope of
tho llawallaus lies in the American
peoplc,Whom he wants to Interest; to
in I grate to tho Islands In sulllcleiitly
large nuniberB to wive the day for
them. Discussing his plan, Governor
I'rear sajs, "Vfo uro trying to replnco
the Oriental laborers with n moro de-
sliahlo class of aliens from Huropc."
lie Indicates thnt that much of his
plan has nlit-ady partially succeeded.
"We have," he says, "succeeded In
getting a number of I'ortugticso nnd
Spanlnrds, who nro proving them
selves excellent citizens and valuable
laborers," nnd "If wo could get more
Americans In the Islands It would ho
n great help towards tho end desired,
for If they could bo had tho planters
would prefer them."
There Is no doubt of tho accuracy
of the Governor's -last statement, for
theio Is lib higher typo of laborer
tbun the American. Hut Americans
can hardly bo relied upon to glvo tho
desired relief. l'nncy American
workingmen emigrating to tho Isl-
I'liils and thero competing with for
eign laborers In tho hopo that event
ually they tho Americans will
crowd out tho others. It could, never
bo accomplished save In tho Imagina
tion of thoso who might make the
wIbIi father to tho thought.
So certain appears Governor Krcnr
of tho ultlmatn success of his plan.
However, that hV goes on to clplalh
Mint after the planters had employed
tnU Americans, ''tlin Orientals; flml
Ingork scarce, would leayo of tjn'Ir
own accord." i

Tinds. Americans for that purposo will
bo found soon enough, but ns for
Americans going thero ns laborers,
tho suggestion Is contrary to .tho
economic tides nnd won't scour.
London, Kng Dec. 22. William
Stead, editor of tho Review of Re
views, (n nn nrticlo Jn tho Dally
Mall, Justifying his recent advocacy
of Gicat Urltatn's icply to Germany's
r.nvnl program byiylng down two
Dreadnoughts for every ono Ger
mnny builds, argues that Germany
has weakened Instead of strengthen
ed her position In tho world by build
ing a fleet, lilicauso tile wholo German
navy virtually Is a hoatago In the
hands of a stronger naval power."
"For any power to hayo a fleet on
tho high soas," says tho writer,
"which s not tho strongest fleet
nlloat, Is an Incronso not of strength
but of vulnerability. Tor lnstnncc,
tho American fleet In tho Tactile Is
supposed to bo a menaco to Japan. In
icnllty, If It' ventures In tho northern
I'aclflc Unce Sam will be bound over
lo good behavior to tho whole value
of tho Meet. Tho United Stntcs, In
vulnerable cm land, Is venturing her
bond Into the Jaws of tho Japaneso
Hon, and whllo tho fleet remains in
tho I'aclflc, Americans will bo civil to
Japan."
