Carpenter's letter in next Sunday's Express deals with important. commercial conditions in our island possessions. He presents a good many facts not generally known. COURT GOSSIP It Great Britain in reality so (ried about a possible "Invasion" by dermany, how in it that at present there are fewer battleships in commission in 1907 19087 Besides, It fo, practically certain that the German Socialists or 20 Socialists in determined still more to Increase the feet which guarda the German coast linen and is in commission in European waters. know from the best authorthat the high sea fleet a to mented during the current fiscal year by a third squadron of battleships and attendant vessels.

Today the battle force of the German high fleet comprises seventeen ships, eight more attendant vessels for both squadrons and the flagship of the commander-in-chief, Admiral von Holtsendorit. The addition of a third squadrom, therefore, would mean that Germany would have no fewer than 25-battieshipa in commission in the waters of northern Europe. The number of British battleships placed similarly 1a eight each in the frat two of the home fleet and sis in the Atlantic feet. The Increase in Germany's commiesioned strength has been one of the most striking features of her policy in recent years, and is of far greater nificance than the increase in her gregate strength. In 1904 there were only eight battleships kept in full commission.

In the year following the number was increased to twelve and in 1906 to sixteen. at which figure it remained until last fall, when the flagship of the commander-in-chief for the first time was placed outside both the squadrons as a nucleus for an additional squadron. Should this intended increase really be carried out, the instantly ready strengch of the German battleship fleet will have been multiplied by three in eight years. In the same period the fully commissioned battle Strength af Great Britain's home-water fleet ban increased from sixteen to 32 only, A second important point to be remarked is that it is not only- -nor principally- on behalf of Grent Britain that Germany is trying to. create this new force in her home waters.

For be it understood that, though very quietly complished, the Russian navy has been revivified under the direction of Vice Admiral Grigorowitch and fast is becoming a force to be reckoned with in the Baltio, During 1911 two powerful battleships were completed and added to the Russlan Baitlo squadron; the Imperator Pavil I and the Andrel Pervorvanni. These ships are fully equal to any of Germany's first Dreadnoughts, displacing each 17,200 tons and carrying four twelve-inch, fourteen, eight-inch, and twenty 4.7-inch. Two fine armored cruisers also were completed during the year, while four Dreadnoughts, each having a broadside 50 per cent. greater than that of any German ship in ice, were launched at Saint Petersburg and are being hurried to completion under British direction. Although Queen Alexandra remains In semiretirement and undertakes no publie duties or engagements of any kinds her household la kept up in the same rogal style, and la staffed as fully as if she were still taking part in the publio, life of Great Britain.

The latest addition to Queen Alexandra's household Misa Ivy Gordon- Lennox, the clever and charming daughter off Lord and Lady Algernon Lennox and niece of the Duchess of Sutherland, Baron Warwick, Lord Roselyn and Lady Angela Forbes. The new maid of honor will be cited with Miss Vivian; the aleter of Lord Vivian, in her not very arduous duties, for which 23 per week is the emolument, and, of course, will have to so into halt mourning, as still are all the members of the Queen Dowager's household Charming manners are the Inheritance of all the Tecks Queen Mary's family. It is not surprising, therefore, to learn of the success that crowned the trip of Prince Alexander of Tech to Siam, an representative of the king of England at the coronation of the successor to, Chululongkorn, in Bangkook. Prince Alexander was accompanied by his wife, the only daughter of the Duchess of Albany, the widow of Queen Victoria's youngest son (who died in his youth), and in whose charge their children (who, by the way, benefited largely under the will of the late Lord Northcote), were left during their parents absence. The princess is the sister of the reigning Duke of Saxe-Gotha.

Nether the Duke of Teek nor Prince Alexander has inherited to the same extent as did the late Prince Francis of Teck the artistic gifts and conversational powers that made of their famous mother, the late Duchess of Teck, so popular a personality of the Victorian era.
