In view of the statement\nthat Great Britain has been compelled\nto withdraw her naval 'forces from the\noutposts of 'the empire, In order to\nstrengthen the forces at the centre and\nthat she Is able to maintain naval\n'forces neither in thc North Atlantic\nnor In the North Pacific, where admittedly such forces are needed, I\ncannot but express my personal regret\n\u25a0that Canada is not undertaking to\ncarry out tho naval agreement of 1911\nbetween Great Britain, Canada and\nAustralia, whereby Canada nssumes\n\u25a0Lhe responsibility for having the forces\n\u2022\u25a0necessary,'both In ships and in men\nto protect these naval bases; to fly\n.tie white ensign on 'these seas; to\nprotect the trade routes as well as tho\nhonor and Intergrlty of the empire,\njust as Australia is doing now.\n\"For over 25 years Great Britain has\nbeen asking us to take part In the\n\u2022naval defence. Surely the people of\nCanada have had time enough to make\nup their minds as to what out naval\npolicy would be. Surely it is not necessary to defer longer a statement of\n';hls policy. The whole of the address\nof the prime minister wns a most\ncogent argument against further delay\nand ns a Canadian citizen, may I express thc earnest hope that the government will sec Us way clear before the\npresent bill goes through the house 'to\n\u25a0undertake the manning and maintaining at the ships which it is proposed\nto build and definitely to assume thc\nresponsibility on behalf of Canada of\nprotecting the naval'bases of the North\nAtlantic and North Pacific as provided in the terms of the naval agreement of 1911.\"\n'NEW ZEALAND WILL  FOLLOW\nEXAMPLE   OF   CANADA\n(By Dailv News Lensed wire.)\nWELLINGTON, N.

G. FOSTER, Editor and  Manager.\nSATURDAY, DECEMBER 7,\nPOLICY WINS GENERAL\nAPPROVAL.\nJudging by despatches the statesmanship ol Premier Borden's naval\npolicy appeals as strongly and as generally in the Old Country as lt undoubtedly will throughout Canada,\notice the first partisan criticisms of its\n\u2022provisions have been said. In his\ntoollcy there is nothing In any way\nrepugnant to Canadian self-respect nor\nIs the contribution proposed beyond\nreason, while at the same time its effect will be one of real service to the\nEmpire and a substantial acknowledgment of Canada's duty and\nResponsibility in the matter.\nThe only question which has arisen\nIn certain circles in the Old Country,\napd Premier Borden broached the sub'\nSect in presenting his policy, Is as to\n\u2022j^bether Canada shall have a voice\niii the councils of the Empire, that is\nWhether she shall have a say In determining the use to which the fleet\ntoward which she is to contribute a\nshare will- be put. That Canada, as\nwell as other self-governing Domln'\nIons, shall eventually have a voice ln\nImperial defence affairs is assured.\nBut whether conditions are as yet altogether ripe for this Is a question\nwhich may be argued.\nWhile such a move would make for\nthe -consolidation of the Empire, it\nwould.be unfair to Canadians to suggest *.that they are anxious to keep a\nstring upon their contribution to the\ntoiperlal navy. The three ships to be\n\"built are intended for the defence of\nthe Empire, wherever and when danger may threaten.\nBut it must be remembered particularly that these ships are not given,\nnor is the Imperial navy maintained\nttr the purpose of making war. Both\nare for defence, not offence. This is\na faot which should not be lost sight\noi, butitlsone which Mr. Henri Bourassa and his followers in Canada fail\nto take Into consideration. If the Empire is attacked the whole resources of\n'Canada as well as of the other overseas Dominions are available for Its\ndefence nnd will be cheerfully devoted\n'to that cause, voice or no voice\nthe manner In which they shall be\nemployed. At the same time the very\nfact of the over-seas dominions having a volcrf In Imperial defence affairs\n-would keep each part of thc Empire in\ncloser touch with the other and thus\nrender more effective any general\nScheme for the protection, not only of\nthe mother country but also of the\nOther portions of the globe over which\nfloats the Union Jack.\n. It Ib in no spirit of militarism that\nCanada is contributing to the Imperial\nnavy, nor Is it in any spirit of militarism that the navy is being maintained.\nConditions are such, however, that\nGreat Britain Is forced to yearly spend\nmillions upon millions to provide\nagainst possible aggression In any and\nevery part of the empire. As long as\nthis necessity exists it is only right\nthat Canada and the other over-seas\nDominions should do their part In the\nmaintenance of the navy that Is as\nmuch theirs in time of need as it Is\nthat of the people of the mother\ncountry who, up to the present, have\ncontributed practically the entire cost\nof Us upkeep. And neither Canada n\u00b0r\nany other part of the Empire, it is to\nbe hoped, will ever be found lacking\nin this respect.\nnext,'than\" was extended to'Miss'Bar-\nbura Wylie, the militant suffragist who\nrecently made remarks in this neighborhood.\u2014Ottawa Journal.\nThis Date in History.\nThe first general assembly of the Territory of Missouri met in St. Louis a\ncentury ago today, Dec. 7, 1812.

Shel-\nfert, Milwaukee, was Implicated in the\nMcNamara   dynamite   conspiracy.\nSlielfert. as one of the labor officials\ncharged with the explosions on nonunion work, had waited weeks to testify\nand he was on the stand less than SJ\nminutes, explaining what he meant by\nthat phrase. About a month before an\nexplosion In Milwaukee, on March 10,\n1911, when an unloading hoist and a\nsteamer near the dock were damaged\nby dynamite, with SGO.OOO loss, HhellVrt\ntook the place of William K. Reddln,\nbusiness agent of the Iron workers'\nunion, who was sick for four days,\nDuring that time Slielfert wrote a letter to John J. McNamara at Indianapolis. Using the phrase, the witness\nsaid he referred to efforts to unionize\nthe Job, for McNamara required reports\nfrom all local unions as to the prospective work for members of the union.\nSlielfert asserted he first learned of tlie\nexplosion from newspapers the ollowlng\nday. Ortle McMaiilgiil confessed to having actually placed the explosives. Red-\ndin, also a defendant, testified that members of the union wanted lo work for\nthe contractor on the local job, but\n!*'rank M. Ryan, president of the union,\nrorbade them until the contractor was\ninduced to employ only union men on\nthe jobB throughout the country. This\nresulted in a proposal that the local\nunion   withdraw   from   the  International.\nlaid the witness, and an appeal was\ntaken to allow unions every where to\nwork locally regardless of the general\nstrike condition in ISifi and which Is still\ngoing on, Reddln said in response to\ndemands from the Minneapolis headquarters he sent Information about construction work at Clinton, Iowa, which\nafterwards was 'blown up. He said McNamara also required him to forward\nnewspaper accounts of the explosions at\nMilwaukee and Green Ray, Wis.

Dec 6.\u2014The bear campaign was resumed on the stock exchange today and prices gave way before another determined onslaught The\nmovement was less general and of shorter duration than yesterday's. Quotations gave way from one to six points\non the break, but later the market recovered handsomely. While there was\nlio Important change In tlie factors\nwhich determine the state of what Is\nknown as speculative sentiment, there\nseemed to be lesn uneasiness on the pait\nof security holders. There were evidences of forced liquidation yesterday,\nwhereas today's 'movement appeared to\nbe due more largely to bear selling. The\nmarket was helped hy a sobering down\nof the fluctuations among the minor\n\u2022\"-\u2022pedalties, whk-h broke so violently yesterday, presumably because of discrimination of lending securities against the\nsecurities ns collateral. While the banks\nstill maintained this attitude the result\nwas not noltceable since yesterday's\nihnvement discharge of large holdings\nof these less stable securities. The market began the dav calmly and bear traders devoted tbe first hour to testing tbe\n)tBt here and there. Then selling Increased and during nn hour of great\nnctlvity prices went down rapidly. Some\nof tbe prominent. isHiies broke under yesterday's low points to the bottom prices\nof several months ago. Steel sold at\nWA. Amalgamated at TOV-s.

Losses were largely made\nup and at the close there were some\nnet gains. Short coverlnc played a considerable part In the rally.\nIt was the opinion of some bankers\nthat the deficit In hank reserves reported Inst week would be greatly reduced\nor possibly eliminated in this week's report, owing to the recent lltiuidallon of\n\u25a0docks and attendant reductions of the\nJoans and to a shifting nf loans to out-\nof-town Institutions.

It Is, therefore, of\nconsiderable Importance that tbe\nteacher shall be able to give a good\nexample of tone quality and of style\nIn singing.\nHurry and insincerity are two features of life in America upon which\nsome future analyst of history may\nplace his finger, as he calls attention\nto the weak ptnees in the condition;-\nof our epoch. ffJot only do these evils\nenter Into tne lives of business men\nand society women, but they ereebj\nnto the' professional work of the inu-'\nsician, if he is not strongly armed\nagainst them.\nFrom the,nature of his work, the\nmusician must, to a large degree, abstract himself from the hustle and\nhurry that form the atmosphere of\nommerclal life. To concentrate his\nthoughts properly and to maintain un-\ndimmed the esthetic ideals so necessary to artistic being, tbe musician\nmust keep himself free from commercial methods. Por the larger portion\nevery day he must close the door\nto  the  echoes  of \"the  strenuous  life.\"\nIt is hard to keep from the music\nstudio the pervasive hurry that Is the\nvery atmosphere of the day. Students\nwish lo play the scale prestissimo. It\nrequires firmness on the teacher's part\nto keep them to anything slower than\nan andante. They wish to jump from\nprimary tunes to advanced \"pieces.\"\nThey would gallop through a sonata\nand skip over a nocturne. They mint\ncomplete .their, musical .education (save\nthe mrtrk!)  in a yenr or; two.     '\u2022\nIt Is hard not to be infected by this\nspirit, which rushes in every day.\nwhenever the door Is opened. It\nsweeps in as a hot breeze from the\ndesert, shriveling up the sane anil sure\nmethods of the pedagogue. The greatest work of- the music teacher la not\nto give an idea of scales, chords and\ntunes, but to inculcate methods of\nmental activity that are too often missing in the home and school. Tlie pronounced enemy of these methods is\nthis spirit of undue haste, the blighting \"rustleltls.\"\nSide, by side with this tendency to\nrush and hurry is another, which, for\nlack   of  a   better   name,   mny   be   de\nnominated \"inBlriceriiy.\" H has Its\nbasis in the seiisfttii>n:ilism of modern\nlife, which, after :iU. may not differ\nso much ln kind as ia degree from\nthat of former years. In lhe musical\n'life It shows Itself in frivolous compositions printed'in riotous covers, In\nsongs Hint drivel silly sentiment hnd\nin methods thatJ pmider to personal\ndisplay rather than lo increment of\nability. Writers' In every age have\ndecried the Berisatloimllsm of their\nown times. It is never stronger than\ntoday, though-we' do not revel in the\nmawkish sentiment.-lity so prevalent\nhalf a century ago. A recent jeremiad\non tho subject hit the nail accurately\non the head, and may well be quoted\nhere. Said the writer, anonymously,\nbut pointedly, \"Thi- .-.nsatlonallsm of\nlhe press is only a part of the sensationalism of the time. It' Is evinced\nin a-thousand ways: in the fantastic\nluxury of the brainless rich; In the\nspeed madness of *nitomobllists* in\nlho crudeness nnd violence of current\nworks of fiction; In thc gulgarltles of\nthe stage; in the Increasingly dangerous feats of tho circus. All this is\nonly a part of the spirit of excess\nwhich is rife.\"\nFundamentally, love of sensation\nbreeds Insincerity and both demonstrate a working away from the realities of life. It Is true that the realities, by their sordldnoss and incon-\nKonialtty, in mnny eases, drive the\nhuman being toward outside, sensationalism for relief, hut eventually the\nantidote works as much* harm as the\nbane!\nSentiment Is lo be cultivated,- sensationalism Is to he shunned. The\nteadher of music dwells1 largely on\nmatters of sentiment, after the pupil\nhas pnsst'fl the period of 'Incubation.\nthe primary tecKhlcal period.'

The girl of 10 comes to her\nmusic with nn appetite too used to\nhighly spiced reading to enjoy the\ndepth of a Bach, the thought fulness\nof a Beethoven, or the cleanly sentiment of a Mendelssohn. Rag-time is\nthe pabulum she \"adores,'' and a mus-\nlent comedy pot-pourri her highest aspiration. With all this, the musician\nwho appears before tbe public will\nhave to watch closely lest bis own artistic ideals be infected. The mosquito\ncalled popularity will carry to him\nfrom others the malaria of sensationalism. The results of the infection\nwill make their nppearanee on his programs if the disease is not quickly\ntreated by Doctor' Conscience.\nWith such a niorbld nnd salacious\nopera as Salome, coming .' from the\nmost capable ol composers, pandering\nto sonsual and sohsalinnal tastes, the\nlesser musician can only turn to the\npure, clear light of the classics for his\ninspiration, and 'tb the musically vir\ntuous men who penned them* scorning\nto depart from their high ideals to\nmeet the wishes of thc sensation-mongers of their day.\nTo sum up: hurry and Insincerity\nare two prevalent! evils agunst which\nthe musician must set his face determinedly, if he would have bis life\ncount for the betterment of artistic\nconditions in this country. In other\nwords, the cultivation of conscience\nmust be carried on hand in band with\nInstruction to others, and with accumulation of material things.\nPredicts United States\nOf Balkan Peninsulat\n5.1 ^  W , ,        -___    \u25a0       I\n(By.Bally News Leased Wlro.V\nLONDON, Doc. 6.\u2014In the : Dally\nTelegraph Dr. Dillon, writing from\nVienna, takes a hopeful view of the\npeace situation and Insists that all his\noptimistic prophecies are being verified. Casting his eye over the Balkans , he reports this conclusion:\n\"From what has come to my knowledge of late I am firmly of the conviction that an empire will come from\nthe Balkan coalition within 12 months\nafter the conclusion of peace and that\nBulgaria, Turkey, Roumania and Albania will constitute, In reality lf not\nIn name, the united stales of the Balkan peninsula.\nOn the conference in London and\ntho partition of Turkey, lie goes on:\n\"At present the differences that divide\nthem are becoming more important\nthan the common aims which still hold\nthem together. Saloniki is the apple\nof discord for Greece and Bulgaria.\n\"Another possible prize which fires\nthe imagination and nerves' thp arm\nof Greece is possession of the Islands\ninhabited by Greek populations which\nno longer will he contented to remain\nunder the sway of the sultan. That\nthe Hellenic government will try hard\nto incorporate them is certain.\n\"It is a matter of indifference to\nAustria-Hungary which of tho competitors succeeds ln obtaining possession of the bulk of the islands, excepting, however, thoso which command\nthe entrance to the Dardanelles and\non that account are regarded as under\nthe Immediate guardianship of the signatory powers of the treaty of Berlin. If Greece wero to lay claim to\nany of these the matter would have to\nbe referred to those powers,\n\"I am informed from Constantinople\nthat the porte is resolved to refuse the\ncession of any part of autonomous Albania to the Balkan states. This\ndocislon would, if carried out, relieve\nAustria-Hungary of tho necessity of\nIntervening between Servia and Turkey, for if Albania is declared autonomous it follows the Servian occupation\nmust end as soon as the peace treaty\nis signed. But should Turkey Burren-\nder^.tiie Albanian -seaboard to Servia,\nand I am,,disposed; to regard this as\nmost unllke-ly, then Europe collectively\nwould doubtless take the matter in\nhand and demand the evacuation of\nAlbanian territory, without delay,. . in\nboth   tile\nWould  lie.\nso    case*    AuslnftrHung-^ry\nTelleved'Jof the itet'esslty -ibf\nintervening.\n\"That Furope's summons will be 6d-\neyed by Servia seems now probable\nenough, always provided \u25a0\u2022the civil au\ntho'rities at Belgrade continue to wield\nthe supreme nower, for yesterday the\nsemi-official Servian organ Samoup-\nrava announced tho decision of the\ngovernment to submit unhesitatingly\nto Europe's decision.\n\"Under these circumstances the\nclouds on the poll-Meal horizon will\ndrift away, as I always maintained\nthey would. The largest part of Tur-\nkey in Europe will foe partitioned\namong the belligerents and Instead of\n6,250,UGH inhabitants which it numbers\ntoday, ii will count only 1,750,000,\nThis loss, added to that of Tripoli and\nCyraenica, Is tlie greatest ever sustained by tbo Ottoman empire in one\nyear. Turkey's boundaries in Europe\nwill be henceforth marked by the river\nMarltza down to its estuary in the\nGulf of Fnos, where It enters the AC.\ngean sea.\n\"Bulgaria's extended frontiers will\ncommence on the opposite bank of the\nMaritza and reach to the shores of\nLako Okhrida. 'Bulgaria will also\nannex a strip of the Aegean coast line,\nwhich comprises Deadeagatch and Ka-\nvala and will also retain about half bf\nthe vilayet of Adrianople possibly\nwithout possession of thc city Itself\nand altogether the entire bulk of her\nnew acquisitions' will presumably\namount to three-quarters of her present area. Roughly, Servia will gain\nas much, Uskub, Prlsrend and part of\nNovlbazar and Old Servia will also\nbe added to King Peter's domains.\n\"Montenegro, which was first to open\ntho campaign will also receive a considerable accession of territory but\nwithout Scutari to which Nicholas attached such importance, and also without a war indemnity, which Is a still\ngreater disappointment, for Montenegro is sorely in need ot ready money\nand unless a loan can bo speedily negotiated serious difficulties may be encountered In Nicholas' llttlejTcalm.  ,\nGreece, too, has no so-H reason to\nbo dissatisfied with her stSBre pf flpoU\nSouthern Macedonia, EhjMrlSfc the peninsula of Chakldlke and Crete will destitute her reward for tho risk she ran\nbeforo the.reorgaaieaitioifflBther^cniy\nwas complete.

The Servian minister In Paris may be asked\nto take the place of one of the plenl-\npotentarles whose names were originally put forward. It Is not certain\nwhether there will be two military representatives for each state. This Is\nthe subject of conversations now between Belgrade and Sofia. Gen. Boyo-\nvlch, chief of ataff of the crown prince's .army, no doubt will be Included in\nthe Servian nilssion. The Austro-Ser-\nvlan situation remains unchanged.\nAuetria-Hungary, however, having extracted a promise of support from Germany on the Albanian question, is now\nturning, to Russia and asking in substance what she will do.\nIt Is unlikely that Russia will satisfy\nthe curiosity of tho dual monarchy\nmore than she has already done. Servia knows that so long as she maintained the spirit of moderation, counselled >tiji St. Peterbsbiirg, she can\ncount on the approval of thc czar's\ngovernment. But It is known that\nServian statesmen have no Intention\nswerving from the conciliatory policy already indicated. But if Servia\nagree to the principle of an Independent Albania, ln obedience to Europe's\nwish, difficulties may then begin.\nTt Is evident there will be difference\nof opinion about the frontiers of the\nnew state. It Is Austria's desire to\nshut her own eyes and thoso of the\nother powers to the truth that thiB\nmust be ascribed to the \"Vienna cabinet's present high-handed and rough\ntreatment of Servia.\nThe government of the dual monarchy is opposed to an International conference, but If it must accept the inevitable, it hns'innde up its mind to\ngo to it with- a convention wrested\nfrom Servia already in its hands. This\nIs the conviction of all Servians with\nwhdm I have talked.\n' Austria-Hungary says: \"Now Servia,\ncome Into a commercial zollverelh with\nns and you shall have your port on the\nAdriatic. If not, we shall bar your\nway tonfrea outlet to the,:eea.\"\nEngland Holds Key.\nIn either case Servia would remain\nunder the tutelage of her northern\nneighbor. \"Will Europe seo her sign\naway her Independence?

The\nGermans are a people with robust\nminds. Relations between the two\ncountries steadily improved, side by\nside with every evidence of our determination to maintain our naval supremacy, and the best way to make\nthese arrangements thoroughly healthy\nand comfortable is to go right on and\nput an end to this naval rivalry by\nproving that we cannot be overtaken.\"\nWarship From Malay State.\nThe rulers and council of the Federated Malay state, which is a British\nprotectorate in the Indian archipelago,\nhave offered to give a first-class armored ship to the British navy, the\ncost of which will be $11,250,000, and\nthe secretary of state for the colonies\nhas sent a telegram accepting the offer.

It seems more\ntlian probable the only way out of the\ndifficulty will be by the government\neither giving way and acceding to the\ndoctors' demands or by paying a fixed\nsum to all those who are insured and\nrequire medical attendance, and compelling them to make their own terms\nwith the doctors.

Lord Furness, who\ncommenced life as an errand boy and\nbefore his death either owned or possessed substantial Interests In over\n300 of Great Britain's merchant vessels. His father began life as a farm\nlaborer and married when earning\nonly 14 shillings a week, after which\nliia father started a small corn merchant's business In Hartlepool and at\nthe age of 17 he took his son into partnership. A year later, in 1870, the\nson went to Sweden to endeavor to ap\nrange for the import of flour from\nthat country direct to England instead\nof from Hamburg, from which port up\ntill then most of the flour had been\nreceived. While at Gothenburg he\nheard that war had been declared between Germany and France and that\nthe port of Hamburg was blockaded,\nHe immediately bought all the flour\non the markets of Sweden and Den\nmark, with a result that he cleared a\nnet profit of $250,000 from the transaction, and this before he had reached\nthe age of 19. Seven years later he\nstarted a wholesale provision Blow,\nwith a capital of $500,000, and it oc-\nurred to him that much money could\nbe saved by owning ships for importing his goods Instead of paying heavy\nfreight rates to other shippers. He\ntook over the management of a shipbuilding concern and shortly after established the Furness line of steamers. He\" w^s a glutton for work and\nbecame Interested in the management\nof large engineering and steel works,\nor collieries, insurance, companies,\nbanks,\"quit works, Argentine meat\neompanifJB, , American railways and\nAustralian mines, and at one time was\nchairman of 15 companies. Notwithstanding this vast amount of business\nactivity he found time for politics and\n\"was Liberal M, P. for Hartlepool from\n1891 to 1895, and again from 1900 to\n1910, when he was created a peer,\nhaving been knighted as Sir Christopher Furness 15 years previously. He\nis succeeded in the title by his son,\nthe Hon. Marmaduke Furness, who\nwas horn in 1883.\nDeath has also removed another\nBritisher who was known throughout\nthe English speaking world as the\nauthor nnd maker of two of the moBt\nattractive and profitable farces ever\nput upon the English stage. W\nPenley commenced his career as a\nclerk In a city office and showed no\ninclination for a theatrical life, but he\nsoon proved too funny for a commercial office and his comicalities cost\nhim his job. He then turned his attention to play writing and at first\nproduced \"the Private Secretary\" and\n\"Charlie's Aunt,\" both of which had\nphenomenal runs, the latter establishing an easy record, being played in\none London theatre for 1.466 nights\nand ever since then has' been \"still\nrunning.\" Penley, had his doubts in\nthe early days of this play and sold\na half share to E. H. Hartmont for\n$4,000, who has cleared a profit out\nof his investment of over $150,000.\nAfter a few years' work Mr. Penley\nretired with a fortune of- half a million dollars, and was 61 years of age\nat the date of his death.\nMri Homebody Said-\"This  REGAL  SALT is simply\ngreat.
