BRITISH NAVAL
ESTIMATES
Five Battleships, Eight Cruisers, Sixteen Destroy-
ers and Submarines to Be Built
'A despatch, f iloin London says:
The British naval estimates for
1913-14, which Weise trenouneed on
J. nurEday, total $231,546,500, ao
compared • with 1j5225,377,000 last
year. The oew building programme
provides fbr' five 'hattleshilise eight
light cruisers, sixteen torpedo-boat
destroyers and a nuinber of- eub'-
The personnel of the navy is to
be ineremeed to 140,00 officers end
men. There will be under construc-
tion on April 1 eleven battleships,.
three battleship cruisers, thirteen
light cruisers, thirtysfive torpedo-,
heat deetroyens and twenty-one
submarines. During the year now
elesin•g four battleships three bat-
tleship cruisers, five lishis cruisers,.
fifteen destroyers, and three sub-
marines were completed.
• The general opinion prevails in
the House of Commons, that the
Firet Lord of the Admiralty has cut
the estimates rather fine, although
it is conceded that they will Meet
the needs of the Government. Both
the "bigger navy" and the "little
navy" politicians are disappointed.
The former declare that the in-
creese ought to be at least 515,-
000,000 greater, part of this for new
ehipbuilding. The latter eon/plain
that the immense is out of all pro-
portion to the needs of the situation
and ignores the /secant deeleration
of the German Minister of the,
Navy, Admiral Von Tirpitz, in
which he agreed to Mr. Winston'
Ohurchill'is rule, enunciated March,
1912, that Great Britain must build
warships in the relation of sixteen
to ten constraeted by Germany.
They also 'urge that the projection
of so largo a programme of new
shipbuilding means a continuance
of Gen/ion rivalry. It is also point-
ed out that at the present moment
the shipbuilding resources 'of the
country are so taxed that they do
not ,permit ef a larger construction-
al programme.
GREAT GERMAN WAR TAXES
To Be On Capital,.Not Income, For the Provision
• of National Fund for Armaments -
Despafehes from Berlin give de, -
tails of the German Eniperor's pro-
posals to tax 'private fortunes for
the provision of a great fund to be
used for the increase in German ar-
maments. The salient figures of the
semi-official statement ssued 01 the
subject are as follows:- .
Fortunes up to $50,000, $1.25 in
every $500.
Fortunes of $50,000 te $125,000,
$1.60 in every $500.
Fortunes of 5126,000 to $250,59,
$2.50 111 every $500.
Fortunes of 5250,000 to 52,500,-
000, 55 in every 8500.
Fortunes of 52,503,000 to $3,000,-
000, 57.50 le every 5500.
Fortunee of 53,000:003 to 512,-
500,000, 510 in every 5500.
Fortunes of 512,500,000 to 520,-
000,000, $12.50 in every 5500. °
Fortunes of 520,000,000 to 525,-
000,000, 515 in every 5500.
Fortunes of more than $25,000,-
000, $20 in every $500. •
To site a concrete example, Ber-
tha Krupp 'Ven Bohlen, head of the
gyeat Krupp works, will have to
pay $1,800,000 as her share of the
war tax. '
When it is remembered this is not
a tax on income, Ina on capital,
and that it strikes every bank ac-
count of more than $5,000 in the
German Empire, it is nob -shard to
see what a vitdd blow has been
struck et German trado expansion.
And all Europe will be dragged
down with Germane,: Every caner
try of Europe will be forced th fol-
low the example a Germany in ar-
mament expansion, with a conse-
quent increase of the burden of
taxation.'
The withdrawal of so laege an
amount of capital from commercial
paths means a corresponding re-
striction of trade activity and of
the power of trade to expand. •

no* we are able to say that Har.
]and & 'Wolff are consteueting an
enonneus eteet shell inside her hull.
It, extends riearly the full length of
the ship, from No. 3 bulkhead for-
ward to the rear of the turbine,
room aft. If she collided -with ice-
bergs as her sister ship Titanic did
and her hull were ripped off by a
slanting blow she would not sink.
The inner shell would keep her
affoat almost as if nothing had hap-
pened. Harland & Vi'olff, the na-

"A serious skin disease broke out on
my face, and spread until I was in

various other preparations, but the
sores got no better. When' Zsen-Bols

it would be able to do me any good.

crobe causee baldness, and their
theory has been verified by eminent
scientists. This microbe destroys
the hair follicles, in time cauaing the -
scalp pores to close and the ecalp to
become Shiny. Then, it is believed
nothing will revivo the growth. H
treated before this occurs, baldness
may be overcool°.
