before a very long time has elapsed the higher rank
of commander will also be thrown open to their
patriotic ambition.
The maximum of men contemplated by the
Royal Commission was 30,000 ; aid there is no
doubt but that, with a little enoouragensent from
the press and the public. that number will very
shortly be attained. A great responsibility in the
administrative management of the force will rest
in the Registrar-General of Merchant Seamen's
department, which has, in fact, lam the iustitu-
tion of the Royal Naval Reserve, become the great
connecting link between the two royal services and
that vast body of trained and efficient seamen who
in time of peace navigote our innumerable merchant
ships to and from the remotest corners of the
world. Much will, we repeat, depend on the
efficient working of this department, but very
ninth also oa causes over which administration,
however efficient, will have ao cootroL It will lie
'with the oaken of the Royal Navy frankly to as-

Minnow to wound the fesliup of fine manly fellows,
who may, perhaps, have been from their youth up-
wards too busy learning the duties of a sailor to
find time for aegniring all the artificial groom al a

consideration will be necessary in the caw of all or
