Under Cromwell England for the first time felt the power of a strong navy to .build up a great nation. It' IS true that Queen Elizabeth had repelled and de- stroyed the Spanish fleet, but she as- sembled her ships only to resist inva~ sion, and her important maneuvers were on-the defensive. Cromwell built the first fleet that England had yEt seen created for the purpose of crush— ing her enemies and striking down the . oppressdrs of free religion. Spain, still aiming at universal empire, received her first staggering blow when Crom- well, daring to throw away the tradi- tional policy which England had hugged for four centuries, Dallied him- self with France and made war on Spain. His enemies said then, and for long afterwards, that be destroyed the balance of power in Europe. But Crom- well cared nothing for political maxims when they stood in the pathway of that human liberty of which he' was the champion. Holland sent out her fleets more terrible than the old Spanish ar- mada; but Cromwell’s generals, acting on sealed orders penned by his own Iliand. beat the Dutch admirals and sent their ships to the bottom.- ..» .._.._ Jones to Build a, Factory. ‘TOLEDO, May 8.-—Mayor Jones’ Gold- en Rule park, which has helped to make the mayor famous, is to be closed.
