Lord Twedrnouth, -the cabinet minister who bo recently -put Mb foot Into It." figuratively speak- inc. through his "private correspond ence" with the German emperor regard ing British naval armament, occupies ne of the most difficult billets at the 'disposal of the prima minister. Placed as foe la between the "devil" of the t"two-power standard" party and (he ""deep sea" of the "reduction of naval expenditure" enthusiasts, the first lord tot tne admiralty resides In a veritable 'Jiornets nest The position, however, Carries with It a substantial consolation Dn the shape of a salary of 2J'5r00.t2 Near, almost three times that of Us Counterpart in th -American govern went. the"ecretaryshlpu of the navy, as "well as a handsome house, and Incl 1 dentally, although not necessarily, a peerage. If the incumbent does not al ready possess one. Yet few men who have any knowledge of the position envy , Lord Tweedmouth his Job. . The first lord Is the political the British navy. He is the gag which the prime minister places en tot navy . k . l f.rti from (he miblic. It is not considered necessary that he should know enougbabout the navy to tell the difference between a gunboat nd a first-class battleship before he tackle hia Job. but he assumes fhnr of the greatest nary in the world and rules H with autocratic authority, Jie la the superior of the other members or the commission which rules the navy of Great Brltalnths senior second, third ,'jind Junior naval lords, the elyft lord -ind the parllamenUry tand financial secretaries. These eight men are in ; theory supposed to - discharge the at Tlee of hWh admiil-thBriUsh navy, but In reality-the first lord Is the whole show and the others simply art as his "dvisers. As a.matter f tact the only members of ' this com mission who know anything at all about the navy and its needs are the fn'2r second, third and Junior naval lords. They have grown up in the service and are men 'of high tha very highest rank In the navy. Yet as factors in in fluencing the naval policy of ths coun try they hardly figure. i . v;;'"i' Different Method. . ' . .', '', In the United States, when the secre tary of the navy makes his annual re port to conrress, he embodies in his document the reports and the recom inundations of the heads of the several subdepartmenta under his wing. No such thing happens when, the first lord "of the admiralty makes bis report to i parliament The mouths of the naval lords.-the practical men In- the navy, who really know what Is needed, are i closed. They cannot open them except " to eat nd talk about the weather. The only mouthpiece or the departmenc is the first lord, who tells parliament .'and incidentally the neortle. Just what t he pleasea, and no more. He can gross- ly misrepresent .the condition of ..the fr navy, and even iarnore or distort the In Z, formation and opinions furnished to him by his naval advisers. The latter can .make no public protest, and the first lord, like a certain famous politician, i;can say, with a grin, '"What are you 1 going to do about it? - The Only re- x, course for the. naval .lords Is res I en a- i ion, arier ' wnicn taey can wag ineir tonirues snd tell what they know.

Lord Tweedmouth, the Incumbent of this difficult position and the center bf that "tempest in a teapot" which so recently ' threatened to sever the al ready torn and battered bond of good feeling between - Germany and Great Britain, is a man of 68 years. With Ms black hair end close cropped black beard he does not look his age. He was at one time the owner of Brook House, one of the finest residences In Park. Lane, the Fifth avenue of London, but he has disposed of It to Sir lOrnest Cassel. tho boon companion of the king. His wife, who died three years ago. was one of the daughters or tne sevenin Duke of Marlborough and a great soci ety hostess of London during her mar ried life. owns ig airewerj. Besides being the owner of SS.000 acres in .Jnvemess-shlre and Berwick shire, Lord Tweedmouth Is a large shareholder in Meux's, one of the larg est breweries In England. He was sup posed to nave neen nara nit aoout inree years ago y tne general siump in me brewery trade, when either by compul sion or choice he disposed of not only His town nouse ana country seat out lso of . his ' .magnificent collection or in tings. - He has, however, retained la extensive collection of Wedgwood china, said to be the finest in the world. Lord Tweedmouth is very rona or Americans, and one of the "treasures he never falls to show to visitors to his home, from the other side of the "her ring pond" Is a half-crown piece (60 eenlsIt l set In a frame and under-; neatn it are tne woras "Honestly Earned." It came Into his hands when ' his father was still alive and the pres ent Lord Tweedmouth was the Hon. Edward Majorlbanks and Liberal . whip ! in the house of commons. He was standing in the lobby one day when two American women entered ana aexea mm If he would show them about. 8a Mr. MarJortbRnks took them about the house and explained all the "sights."; Upon taking leave of their guide, the elder of the two women took a coin from her purse and presented it to the future ?ner with her thanks for his kindness, hat Is the half-crown which is one of Lord Tweedmouth's most prized posses sions today and which hangs In a con spicuous place over his desk In his library. ' London, May The denunciation of anarchy and anarchists by President Roosevelt and his recommendation that there should be further repressivs leg' Islatlon dealing with the problemsre- sented by anarchy, will proably lncreaa the affection with which these "enemies of mankind" regard England as a plaes of domicile. In this country, however, a sliest but keen battle, In which on one side vigi lance Is never relaxed, la continually f oing on between Scotland Vard and the orelgn and English anarchists who re sldn In London and the provinces. The number of anarchists In Eng land, chiefly owing td immigration from other countries, where more stringent police methods prevail. Is certainly greater today than was the case a few years ago: out aiiuuus.ii iiibj i yv( actively interfered with, practlcawy every man among- them, their plans and their movements are known to the de- tecttve officers who belong to wnai is known at Scotland Yard as the special; branch. . , . I In London there are strong colonies, divided into different groups, in Boho, and the district abutting on Tottenham; Court road, and in ins east ena. n most important section is the Freedom group. Itpubllshe a monthly paper called the Freedom, which has a circu lation of about 8,000. -Around Soho there are the French, Italian Oerman and Spanish groups, and in the east end there is a large colony of Jewish anarchists, who pos sess a clubhouse and publish two Jour nals. The former has a circulation of about 3,000 and 'the latter of 6,000. Both are printed In Yiddish. There Is also a Russian a-rouo in the east end. The total membership of the various London Jrroups' is between 1,000 and 4,000. Groups have also been estab lished In SO provincial towns, including Liverpool Leeds.- Sheffield, - Hull, - Nor wich, Birmingham, Manchester, Swan sea, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The arrangements made by the spe cial branch at Scotland Yard to shadow the anarchists are most elaborate. Every anarchist arriving in England is met and -identified at the seaport or at the London termini. So exhaustive are the precautionary measures that it may be said with con fidence that there Is not a single an archist group in this country which does not number in Its ranks one or more members who are police Inform ants. 2 ' - , .

I am not selling Madison Villa in lots but in acre tracts at from $550 to $800, according to choice, in a district where plat ted lot property is selling to as high as $l;500 the acre. Frankly, Madison Villa would be selling in lots instead of acres had I my way, but there are other parties interested who insist upon having the property sold out at once, hence this opportunity. 1 . The absolutely staggering fact is this, that within 20 minutes or a comparative dis tance from the business center you cannot buy a lot for what I can sell you an acre of A No. 1 soil in Madison Villa. An acre which you can divide into lots yourself if you like, or grow pn it anything that you want to grow. v; . , mm Have just been put on the market.. This is the first announcement. There are just 80 acre tracts in the property. Madison Villa is so situated as not to have been seen by everyone, being in a district just opened by the Salem Electric line. The cars, which are the finest in the West,. are now in operation, and you don't have to cross any drawbridges. This new line will make a tremendous change in values in this section, but remember, youVe got to own something in order to participate in the profits.
