i V1 i JaktiL "iff i\ *r$ j^i^^f^* Union New Serial Man of the Hour FOUNDED ON THE GREAT PLAY I Illustrated by Berder. Rvder and Jones The Publication of this Great Story will Shortly Commence in Th Princeton Unio "The Man of the Hour" is a merciless ex- posure of the knavery of the political boss as practiced in our great cities. It is a story that will appeal to the multitude and it will pay those who do not at this time take the Union to subscribe at once. The Union's Serials are Up to Date 9 s^**^ Wpppipiiiliiuii luge Battleships In Theory. All nations which are ambitious of great sea power want ships as large as those of any other nation hence the contest for size makes ever newer and larger creations necessary. The way the contest stands at present among naval experts is explained by the Scientific American. Modern tac tics, this paper says, call for -line ahead formation"that Is, with each ship of a fleet steaming in the wake of the one ahead, with a wide interval between them Thus a line of four eight-gun ships will be but half as long as a line of eight four-gun ships The line of four eight-gun ships will attack the four four-gun ships at the head of the line of smaller vessels and overcome them by mere preponderance of metal, then attack and dispose of the other four smaller ships It is assumed that the fifth and sixth ship in the line of four-gun ships will do a little execution while the eight gun ships are smashing the four lead ing ships, but that the seventh and eighth can do nothing, owing to the long range Upon the theory that naval battles of the future must be fought out just this way, the authori ties of the rival powers are proceeding when they put- millions into mam moth ships But perhaps some future Nelson or Paul Jones will happen into a fight and apply the big "D" to tac tics It all seems to be a question of what thirty-two twelve-inch guns on one side can do to thirty-two twelve inch guns on the other side A Jones or a Nelson might not be disposed to keep a dozen, moie or less, of his guns out of the scrimmage and let four big ships have their own way with th^ four little ships at the head of his line Torpedoes seem to be left out of cal culation in this theory of naval war fare Even then there may arise some daring commander, not sound on ap proved tactics, who is himself as good as a whole arsenal of torpedoes Once a small ship does the trick for a big one, the small and lively "terror of the ocean" will again be in fashion Carrying American Gash to Europe. The returning immigrants from the United States who passed through the port of Hamburg in one day recently exchanged $18,000 for the currency of their native countries, to be used in railroad fares and pocket money for their journey home The most of them had on their persons drafts and gold which represents savings to live on or to invest at home The communi ties where these returning adventurers settle will find them very desirable acquisitions If they put their money and their practical knowledge to use It is assumed abroad, and to a cer tain extent here, that the departing emigrants from our shores are going home for a visit, because there Is a prospect of a long period of Idleness In this country. This may be true, but it is noticeable that the bulk of the emigrants who return through Bremen are natives of countries which have recently Invited and even urged their exiled people to come back to the fatherland If they are wanted at home it Is most probable that the rulers will contrive some means of keeping them now that they are on the spot comfortably supplied with money earned In America Japan, insisting that China shalV apologize and indemnify her for the seizure of a Japanese steamship, will, of course, have her own way Either tutelage or terror must be the condi tion of China In her relations with Ja pan until she learns how to free her self or until some combination of pow ers stronger than Japan does the free ing for her The battleship cruise may prove to have an educational value. The sailors have been permitted to see a bullfight at Lima, and as many of them are fa miliar with football mixups and with ring contests they are now qualified to give an expert opinion as to which is the most brutal It Is estimated that Mark Twain dur ing his lifetime has made $700,000 by his writings and lectures. At 30 cents a word it looks as if Mark has suc ceeded in financing the whole diction ary. Somehow when a man dies from the effects of handling dirty money he gets more space in the newspapers than one who dies of starvation. Proclamations to abolish the czar of Russia will probably amount to just as much as the czar's proclamations against discontent and no more. With Russia penniless and Turkey without cash, the war is much more likely to be of the typewriter variety than anything else The general opinion seems to be that while the United States navy is a little "off" in spots, it would be exceedingly bard to whip. If, as an army officer declares, "Ger many could capture New York easily," war isn't such a terrible thing after all.
