HE navy of France ranks fourth
among the .world powers and
third among the nations in-
volved in the present trouble
in the amount of warship tonnage'
built and also the aggregate of ton.
nage built and building.
The number and.displacement of
warships of 1;600 or more tons and of
torpedo craft of more than 50 tons are. `
as follows; Two"battlesblps (Dredd
nought type)' having n main battery
of all big guns (eleven inches or store ,
In caliber) .of 40,184 tons (and 9 of
214,100 tons, building); 18 battleships
(pre -Dreadnought type) of (about) 10,-
000 or more tons displacement each aid
with main batteries of more than one
caliber of 202,675 tons; 1 coast defense
' shlp of 8,800 tons; 20 armored cruisers
' of 201,724 tons; 10 cruisers (nnarmored
warships of more than, 1.500 tons) of
49,978 tons; 81 torpedo boat destroyers
of 84.380 tons (and 5 of 3.974 tons,
building); 139 torpedo boats or 13,920
tons; 75 submarines of 28.224 tons (and
18 of 12.190 tons, building) Total
built, 346 vessels of 645,891 tons; total
addltlou to the nine building, another
vessel of this type is to be laid down
early in 1915, to be called the Vendee.
Two of those building, the France and
the Paris, were laanch'ed In 1912 and
may be completed this year. Three
others -the Bretagne, launched April
12, 1913; the Provence, April 20. and
the Lorraine, Sept 30—will be com-
pleted in 1915. Of the remaining four,
two were begun in May, 1913, 'and two
in. November, to be completed in 1916.
They will exhibit a new departure in
armament, in that their guns are to be
mounted four in .a turret in three
turrets they will carry twelve 13,4 -inch
guns, whereas earlier types had twin
turrets. The .chief advantages of, the
new method are said to be simplicity
of plan, 'economy of weight and con-
centration of lire. Three projected
scout cruisers to have been begun In
1919 have been forwarded to 1914.
The destroyers building will use oil
fuel and attain a speed of ,thirty-one
knots. The largest of the new sub-
marines, the Gustave Zede, has a dis-

12 submarines, 8, of 410 tons and 3 of
520 tons, and 1, ¢ustave Zede, of 800
tons and a speed of twenty knots. The
battleships under construction are. the
Bretagne and Provence, the Lorraine,
Flanders, Gascogne, Languedoc and
Normandie,' Ten' ships were to be laid
down in 1914, the most important be-
ing the battleship Beare (25,200 tons)
of the Normandie type.
Compared with their predecessors of
the Jean Bart and the Bretagne types
and with their foreign rivals of similar
displacements the Normandies seem to
be fine all around lighting units and,.
as one critic declares, "to be. without
Weak points and to contribute one of
the best investments the republic has'
ever made."
The names of four new Dread-
noughts, Normandie, Gascogne, Ilan-
guedoe and Flandres, are all ailed with
a fine flavor of romance and historic
achievement and much superior to the
designations. with which so many of,
the former battleships were burdened.
The dimensions of the class•are as fol.

displacement of 25,000 tons.
The 1912 program -provided for two
battleships to be laid down in the lat-
ter half of 1914. The recent naval
maneuvers having shown the impera-
tive need of 'squadron scouts, three
scouts were to be laid down before the
second battleship of the 1912 program,
and the date of the first (the Beare)
was put forward from Tuly to January.
Five submarines of 833 tons and speed
of twenty knots were also to be laid.

launched on March 10; her sister ship,
the Cerbere, is nearly completed, dia.
placement 566 tons, horsepower 6,000,
speed twenty' knots, armament one
three-inch gun. They are fitted to car-
ry 120 nines.
Ships of the navy now carry new'
powder for the big gens. The old pow-
der which had caused so many acci-
dents was still used for guns of small-
er caliber and for rhe reserve stock on
land. Only one-half of the powder re-
quired during 1914 could be made with
the staff actually employed.

Of bourse it caused a good deal of comment. Some
people said it wasn't in good taste. The parents of
marriageable daughters ,thought differently -. they
characterized the gift as "Eminently appropriate and

pressed the opinion of most shrewd men by saying:- .
"That young fellow's careej will be worth watching, not

THE WEAK SPOT
1N THE BACK.
When the kidneys get ill the back
gives out.
But the back is not to blame.
The ache comes from the kidneys,
which lie under the small of the back.
Therefore, dull pain in the back, ti
sharp, quick twinges, are warnings of
sick kidneys --warnings of kidney trouble.
Plasters and liniments will not cure
a bad back, for they cannot reach the
kidneys which rause it
Doan's Kidney Pills reach the kidneys
themselves. They area special kidney
and bladder medicine. They heal the
diseased surface of kidneys and bladder,
and help them to act freely and naturally.
Mrs. Chester Romain, Port Coulonge,
Que.'
writes: "I had been troubled with
sore hack for over four years, and could
get nothing to do me any good : until
I heard of your Doan's Kidney Pills.
I got three boxes, and took them and
now I ani completely cured."
