Ike Benefits of War.
Withmit going to the lengths of
praising war in the German man-
ner, there is no doubt that war can
work great good. We know that
the British Empire can be built up
by war, and the present conflict has
acted on us like a tonic, and pro-
mises to eolve many problems
whien have worried patriots, says
London Answer, The modern Ger-
man. Empire is the result of war -a
doubtful blessing, perhaps, but it
was the sante campaign Which
brought forth the France of to -day.
The fratricidal conflict 'between
North ann South welded the Unit-
ed Stades together more completely
than'years of peace, and the defeat
of thirteen years ago has broeght
the Boers more power and greater
freedom than they might have hop-
ed for without it, Unsuccessful
wars and defeats in • battle often
have equally good' results. Where
would Russia be without the Crim-
ean and Japanese wars? And Italy
rose °tit of her defeat at Novara.
In time Germany herself may re-
cognize that the ebatterin.g of her
abtempe ab World rule has brought
her even greater prosperity.

IT IS EASY TO REPLACE SHIPS
BR I TA IN'S GREAT STRENGTH
ON TILE SEA.
Dente). mating Mines Responsible'
for Dentruetion el the Allied
In an article reviewing the eink-
ing of tbe British battleships Irre-
sistible a»d Ocean, and the French
battleship Bouvet, in the Dardan-
elles, the New York Herald says:
If any doubt were entertained of
the enormous lighting strength of
England un the sea, it might be set
at rest by the mere annummement
that ships of equal sthength to
those lust are being sent forward
et ol e.
take their places in the Darden -
1s
The signincent featei aof the eft-
gagement as :t imprenies the tr-
dinary man lies in the taut .that the
combined squadrons of British and
Ftench waeships, those :which were
pushed into the Dardanelles first
to engage by direct fire the forts
just below and at the narrows, were
nut only able to hold their positions
but actually silenced the fire of
Turkieh batteries. The Mon squad-
rons were represented by the Queen
Elizabetfi, the Inflexible, the Aga-
memnon, the Lord Nelson, the Tri-
umph and the Prince George on the
British eide, arid by the Suffern, the
Ganlois, the Charlemagne and the
Bouvet ou the French side.
• It is for the opportunity to en-
gage by direct fire that the allies
have steadily prosecuted their mine
sweeping operations in the .Dardan-
ellea, for no naval commander
:would be -warrantedin pitting
heavy battleships squarely against
shore wrieks in narrow waters until
assured that the channels were frce
of mites.
Mines Chief Obstacle.
The irony of the whole affair is
seen in the fact tbab the disaster
whieh overtook 'the Ocean, the Ir-
eesistible and the Bouvet came not
from oibservation • or stationary
mines, sinee these had all been
cleared out by the painstaking and
hazardeus work of the mine sweep -
0X0, and counter mines, but by
floating mines.
-The waters in the Dardanelles
are eharecterized by strong Mir-
-rents which run steedily mit of the

These current mines have alt the
destructive powers of a. tin -peel()
•
fired by a submarine. They contain
.gue-eolton chemges, the same es
operative mines, the usual 'charge
weighing 500 pounds. The mines
float along with the current, and
are invi•sible, since they are weight-
ed so as te keep stennerged et a dis-
tance of about liFteeit feet below the
surface.
A ring attached to the up and
tlown chain seems to giro direction
to the _mine, keeps it in the 'current,
and prevents it from shooting: off
shormeard. Ones the miees are
launched fair with the enrrent they
may be depended upon bo float true
