But Uncle this colossal floating armament was borne entirely by the taxpayers of the United Kingdom, but since then the self-governing colonies have contri- buted toward the .formation of a truly imperial navy. Although it is obviously impossible to give any exact figures regarding its present size, reliable before -the -war statistics showed there were 68 battle- ships, with fourteen building; 110 cruisers and 218 destroyers, with many others of both these classes well under way. Great Britain's naval budget for. 1913.1914 was nearly twice that for the army. Her air fleet in 1914 consisted of 1,800 airplanes and 21 dirigibles, but of course the num- ber of planes now in use on the various fronts is enormous, THE GERMAN SPY SYSTEM. Instance of One Means by Which Ber- lin Obtains Information. This story is going. the rounds , in England, and it comes'fronl an appa- rently authentic source. It is that a British patrol boat, after an engage- ment which resulted in the sinking of a submarine, picked up the body of the commander in the hope of finding in his pockets information concerning Prussian operations which might be valuable in the anti-submarine cam- paign. To the astonishment of the officers of theatrol boat, , th r e e was found among the papers in the commander's pockets a receipted hotel bill, which showed that two days had been pass- ed a short time before in a leading English oast town resort. Further investigration revealed the fact that the officer himself had been at - the hotel dressed in the uniform of a Brit- ish officer, enjoyin ..himself with the other soldiers who were there on leave and with British navy officers, The theory is that the submarine came ashore at some isolated place along the English coast and that the officer had no difficulty in getting to the hotel, those who saw him believ- ing he was a British officer on leave. The authorities realize that if it were possible in this instance it is possible in others, and there is little doubt that the Prussians frequently have been in some of the most important ship- ping cities of the British, French and Italian coasts, Because of this peril greater pro - cautions than ever before are being taken to prevent strangers from en- tering the barred zones established around all of the toWns along the coast, Any one who does not give to the police a satisfactory explanation as to who he is and the purpose of his presence in the town in question is im- mediately locked up. In such cases the courts are no respecters of per- sons, and heavy prison penalties have been ordered in numerous cases.

"The new type will be fully armed. It will be of steel construction and patterned after the present-day oil tanker, which is practically immune against single torpedo attacks, except in the way of the engine and boiler rooms. If struck there she is done for and settles by the stern, with no pow- er to proceed. The new boats will have fuel oil tanks extending clear around the ship, from main deck to main deck from the front of the boiler space to the rear of the engine room. If a tor- pedo strikes her there and blows a hole in her outer skin, the inside of the tank will act as a new hull to keep her afloat until the submarine rises to view its prey. Nene of the oil tankers have been sunk so far in the war by one torpedo, unless hit in the engine or boiler space. - Series of Compartments. • "Tho bulk on in the tankers is car- ried in a dozen or more separate tanks or compartments, into which the hull of the tanker is divided by bulkheads. This is why one torpedo will not sink her. A torpedo exploding against the hull of the ship and crushing one or two of these compartments does not sink the ship because of the relatively small size of the few t compartments punctured, compared with the dozen or so that are left intact.

Little Gertrude had been especially inquisitive all evening. Her father had answered her questions patiently, but he was becoming exasperated. Finally she said: "What do you do at the office all day, daddy?" Daddy's patience gave way. "Oh, nothing," he said. Gertrude pondered over this answer for a moment. Then she returned valiantly to the charge. "But how do you know when you have finished?" she asked. Mina Liniment linin eat Cur ae cards. Etc. To Check Tomato Worms.
