The Massachusetts Legislature ap- propriated $800,000 to be used in road building in various parts of the state Every American returning to his na- tive land from abroad is expected to have a thrill of pleasure, but the man- ner of celebrating is not always the same.’ A Boston man went straight from the steamer to a restaurant and ordered a lunch consisting of a cup 01 codes with» four pieces of pie, apple, custard, lemon and blueberry. Dr. David Starr Jordan is probably quite right in'saying that American poachers are as guilty as those of any , other nation in destroying" the seal herds. It is not claimed that all men who happen to live in the United States are virtuous "and law-abiding. But, at all events, the United States Government does not encourage its citizens in their lawless work, as do those of Canada and Great Britain. A United States gunboat has been in Guatemalan waters since early in the present struggle for the supremacy 01 that country, and will remain until the disturbance ceases. During the whole of the Cuban war no United States warship has visited that island, though there have been loud demands for one. Spain should not fail to note this strong evidence of friendly feeling and confidence on the part of the United States Government. *— The convicts in the Penitentiary at Pittsburg have been discovered by the Warden to be carrying on an extensive counterfeiting establishment. They not only turned out such fine speci- mens of fifty—cent pieces that the Gov- ernment itself was deceived, but they put them in circulation. It is generah 1y understood among counterfeiters now that the only secure place to car- ry on their business is in prison, where they can set up their machinery, manufacture and circulate ad lib. and never be. suspected, the wardens tak- ing it for granted that they are too penitent to do such things. It is reported from Germany that the United States Embassy has been ap- pealed to in the cases of more than 100 young men, sons of Germans who, after having secured American citizen- ship, have returned to their native land and settled there, but new claim for their sons exemption from army duty. These men are not Americans, but Germans, and should not be per— mitted to claim American rights. Most of them, indeed, do not come un— der the provisions of existing treaties, but they are a source of annoyance, ~which their increasing number is be- ginning to make important. There should be some official action clearly defining their status in order that both they and their sympathizers in this country may understand it. There are too many foreigners, of many na- tionalities, making trouble for .their own Governments and ours under a thin plating of American citizenship. England at present is building eighty-four warships, of which thirty— four are to go to foreign Governments. That leaves fifty for home use, and as ' an increment to her existing naval ar- maments, it must be regarded as a pretty large one. When they are fin- ished, German military authorities, which now are quoted as asserting that two army divisions landed in England could in one week destroy the military poWer of that country, and that under certain circumstances they could be so landed, may change their minds in respect to the latter proposition. Before; that .would be possible the Fatherland would require a. much more powerful navy than with any existing ally"or allies ‘she‘ can now ' control, and at any future stage of its upbuilding she will find England as far ahead of her as ever.“ That country yet rules the waves, and at the rate she is building warships obviously in- r tends to rule them for an indefinite pe- . riod to come. A queer story comes from Washing— in ten that Japan was prepared to send a : number of immigrants to Hawaii, with a suflicient escort of warships to en- force their landing,'despite the prctes st of the Hawaiian Government, when ‘ lie Russian Envoy dropped a significant hint .that the enterprise would not pay, and it was abandoned. The report may be unfounded or exaggerated, hi't it Is not improbable. Russia domi- nates the Asiatic side of the Pacific. She has always been ’friendly :0 the United States. She saw the: could not make such a move as ::_;: one contemplated without stirriry with Ilil= country, and as she is well disposed J.q 31:11", _ toward Japan also, the 1eported action would be a legitimate as well as a wise one for her to take, if Japan was leal- 1y making the preparations reported. It was a friendly and sagacious way oi averting an awkward situation and. at the same time, of strengthening Russia’s prestige in the Pacific. She probably cares nothing adout Hawaii, but she could not help seeing that the controversy, if there was one, would! go far be; and the islands ’CHRISTMASEVE Gaznrrn 9 GIFTS " '9 ___FQR__._.
