7 London. May 8. 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

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. In'
-Z deed, such a thing came very near to
. nxppening some years- ga Bir wii-
Ham Harcourt once made- the public
statement "that his naval advisers
; considered that everything was satis
a, factory and shipshape In the navy.

' 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(

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

the center bf town, and although the transient carfare is 10 cents, the fare for people
living in the .district is the regulation five cents. 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. Your investment in Mad
ison Villa will multiply over and over again iaii.,iiiibr..y9itnj.Qt9. opinion of the
shrewdest men in Portland means nothing.

OTHER FEATURES
. f . -
Every acre in Madison Villa is cleared and in cultivation. There is no rock nor gravel
the ground is rich and will produce anything that will grow in the state.
. , In this and every large city distance b measured by the time required to make it. Such, '
in tact, governs the market. Appraise Madison Villa, then, from a standpoint of actual dis
tancedistance measured by minutes, price or possibilities and you absolutely must admit
that it's the most wonderful opportunity on the Pacific Slope today. As I said before, it is
not my pleasure to dell, but majority rules, so take your choice at these prices.
Take the car from Front and Jefferson, and come and see Madison Villa today. ' Don't
misunderstand me the transient fare is 10 cents, but the fare to Madison Villa residents 5c
and only 18 minutes' ride. Get off at Alder Springs. Agent at the tract (Sunday), or for
