Where is the race of the nations for naval supremacy to end? Germany's al leged Instant preparedness for war has caused the British admiralty to plan the building of 21 battleships In the next five years, at not less than $73,000,000 expense. Senator Tillman's resolution call ing for plans for the "biggest'Warshlp1," to be called the Terror, which passed the Senate, is likely to arouse a more mili tant spirit in this country and help bring about the expenditure of millions for new ships. The reported offensive and defensive alliance of Japan and Russia and the hinted designs of Japan on the Mexican coast will not lessen the activity of the navy yards. England faces a serious problem In the poverty of her people, and there Is unrest throughout the world .because of the advancing cost of living. Can It be that the powers believe that the enormous expenditure for armament Involved In the race for naval supremacy will lessen this unrest? Advice to Boyi and Glrlf. Save your pennies and send them to the Hyde Park Savings bank. That bank receives either pennies, dlmea or dollars. Why? . Because it wishes to encourage the children to be frugal and to have a lit tle bank account of their own, even though the initial deposit Is the small est possible sum. Children who commence an account on a penny, a nlckle, or a dime, often grow Into capitalists later on. The way to become a capitalist Is to commence now to save the pennies. Lying About Taft. The unfairness of Roosevelt and pro gressive speakers and newspapers toward President Taft has never been surpassed In all the tide of time. It of fends every man who possesses the rud iments of Judicial sense, and Invites the contempt of all honest folks. How soon, alas, lying becomes a habit!

It will Interest the people of Brattle boro and other readers of The Phcenlx to know that the contract for building the Boston & Maine railroad bed from the site of the proposed Connecticut river railroad bridge south of the vil lage up through the railroad yard along side the Central Vermont tracks has been awarded, that work under that con tract was begun Wednesday morning and that the road will be In operation, according to present plans, this year. An agreement has been reached also whereby the Boston & Maine company will make the changes in the railroad yard and on Vernon street, although President Charles S. Mellcn of the New York, New Haven & Hartford company stated over the telephone Wednesday forenoon that the agreement had not been signed. All that remains to be done In that connection, however, Is a formality and the Boston & Maine com pany Is going ahead with preparations for closing Vernon street to traffic and having n large force of men put to work on the proposed changes In a very short time. The contract for building the Boston & Maine roadbed on this side of the river has been awarded to the Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins corporation, the con tractors who are building the roadbed on the New Hampshire right of way from the Hinsdale end of the bridge site to South Vernon. Acting under this con tract some of the 75 men employed at the bridge site set up a pile driver Tuesday and on Wednesday morning the work of driving piles for the trestle which will be used in making a fill for the permanent roadway on the Vermont side was begun not far from the north west end of the bridge Bite. The work Is under the supervision of Engineer H. L. Ripley, who has been giving Bpecial attention lately to the operations at the river. As Is the case on the New Hampshire side, the roadbed on the Vermont side will be built for one track, but all the rock cuts and masonry will provide for two tracks, as will the bridge. The con tractors will have the roadbed constiuct ed so that the railroad company can lay the rails this fall, and the other work in and about tho yard will be well under way this year, but the changes for which Brattleboro contributed $43,000 will not be completed before another season. The American Bridge company of New York, a branch of the United States Steel corporation and one of the largest bridge concerns In the world, is making the bridge, which will cross the Con necticut at a point about opposite the Snowflake canning factory. The structure will cross the river diagonally and the approach at each end will be on a curve. When complete the bridge will consist of five 80-foot girder spans and two 250-foot truss spans. It will rest on two granite abutments and six gran ite piers. For two of the piers, which will be constructed where the water is so deep that It Is not practicable to build them by the ordinary cofferdam method, the open caisson method will be used. Piles will be driven, which will be Haw ed off level under water with a horizon tal saw. For each of these two piers a caisson will be built, which will consist of a large water-tight box open at the top. The bottom of the caisson, which Is call ed a grillage, will consist of heavy tim bers fitted together so that they will be water-tight. The caisson will be floated to a point directly over the piles, and inside it the construction of the granite pier will be begun. As the work pro gresses the (weight of the granite will gradually sink the caisson until the bot tom, or grillage, rests securely on the piles. Then the sides will be removed, but the thick grillage will remain and the pier will be complete. Piles will be driven for three of the four other piers and the ends will be sur rounded with concrete, upon which the masonry will be built. For this work ordinary cofferdams will be constructed and from the Interior of these box-like structures the water will be pumped out to allow the workmen to build the ma sonry, as was done when the foundation for the Connecticut river dam at Ver non was put in. The remaining pier, which will be on the Hinsdale side, and the abutment on the Hinsdale side will rest on rock foundations, so It will not be necessary to drive piles for them. They will require the construction of cofferdams, however, as will the abut ment on the Vermont side, which will rest on piles. To facilitate this work and the work of erecting the bridge a temporary trestle 900 feet long is being bHllt across the river, on the up-stream side of the bridge site. This trestle now extends from the Vermont side about half-way across the river. An opening 40 feet wide will be left for the use of motor boats and this opening will be spanned by Iron girders. A railroad track is laid along the trestle as fast as the latter Is built out Into the river; and upon this track will run locomotives, cars and lo comotive cranes for use in the bridge construction. Grillages for the caissons are now being built and the cofferdams are being put in. To aid In the river work the men have built a deck scow 25 by 50 feet, and three pontoons have been shipped In, which, when fastened together, form a lighter 28 feet wide and 67 feet long by which material may be transported from place to place. There are also on hand two large pontoon pile drivers, two Brown-hoist locomotive cranes and much light equipment. In their work on the New Hampshire side the Holbrook, Cabot & Rollins cor poration now have 13 locomotives and six steam shovels' In use. A seventh steam shovel will be added to the equip ment in a short time. The Vermont State School of Agricul ture, Randolph, has many applications for the fall term, Indicating that tho new Institution has found its place In the state. The school was founded In 1910 by special legislative act and tho re sources now consist of what was the Randolph state normal school plant, equipment, Income from school and and permanent endowment. The state also appropriated J20.000 for purchase of land, tools, machinery and stock, and pro vided further an annual maintenance fund of $10,000.

In a recent consensus of artistic and technical opinion regarding tho most notable works of man in this opening of the 20th century, the cutting of the Isthmus of Panama, although Incom plete, stood at the head of the list. This Judgment was passed after consideration along the lines governing the ancient declaration of several millenniums ago, which named as the "Seven Wonders of the World" the hanging gardens of Babylon, the Temple of Diana of Ephes us, the Jupiter ot Phidias, the mauso leum at Artemisia, the Colossus of Rhodes, the pyramids of Egypt, the pharos at Alexandria. Another canvass has been made, In which the Intellectual, humanitarian and absolutely scientific element was given prominence over the spectacular. Ballots were sent out containing 56 subjects of scientific and mechanical achievement, and scientists from tho membership lists of foreign universities and royal acad emies were requested to mark the seven that appeared to them to be the most wonderful. Seventy per cent of the ballots were returned. Wireless received 244 votes, the telephone 1S5, the aeroplane 1C7, radium, 105, antiseptics and anti toxin 140, spectrum analysis, 126, the X-ray 111, they being thus chosen the seven greatest modern achievements. The Panama canal received 100 votes, an esthcsla 94 and synthetic chemistry 81. This array of achievements of the later race holding the earth today is Impressive In tho advance which It marks In the higher mentality of man kind and the solution of problems of existence only darkly Imagined, If at a.11, in the old days. Boston Post. Alaska's Wealth. The territory of Alaska has yielded to its owner, the United States, 1206,000,000 In mineral wealth": in fish and furs this bleak possession has yielded J222.710.036, and It has paid directly Into the United States treasury $14,792,461 In cash. Adding the tribute of fisheries, furs, minerals, and cash, the people of the United States have within forty,two years taken $444, 102.500 out of Alaska. This territory was bought rrom Russia In 1867 for $7,200,000, The figures of wealth yielded In return for this Investment, according to the testimony of Delegate James Wlckersham before the committee on territories on March 29 last, were suppllod to him by the treasury depart ment. Costing. but $7,200,000, and nn av erage of $200,000 annually for the main tenance of Its government, the territory has returned to the Uniter States $10,000, 000 a year.

There is a great demand for tenements and most of the articles used in the construction of a home are cheaper now than they have been for several years, especially in the line of Clapboards, Shingles, Pulp Plaster, Cement, etc., which are usually most expensive. People have come to realize that the best grade of Red Cedar Shingles are far ahead of any slate or prepared roofings to use on a house. 95 per cent of all the houses built in Springfield, Holyoke and other small cities are covered with cedar shingles for the reason that they are much cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. A nice grade of red cedar shingles makes as good a looking roof as you can possibly have and they are much cheaper than slate and will cost less for repairs. These will last for at least 40 years. We will furnish you the material for a house on very easy terms, so that almost anyone can build a comfortable home. If you are contemplating building a home, come in and talk it over.
