EF The feet which England is laying
in front of Constantinople is doubtless
the most powerful ever assembled under
one fse. Twenty years ago such force
Of ironclads with their terrible guns could
have successfully encountered the com.
bined fleets of the world, and could have
taken and destroyed any iortiasation
within their reach.
But fleets, no matter how formidable.
play but subordinate part in modern
warfare We may glance over all the
wars for quarter of century without
finding single instance In which the re-
suit has been greatly affected by naval
successes. There have been examples
Of brilliant achievements, but no decisive
actions.
The reduction Of Sebastopo|, com
menced on the water, was completed on
the land. France and Italy against Aus
tria. Prussia against Austria, United
Germany against France, cur war OF the
Rebellion--none OF these present naval
victory equaling even that of PERRY on
Lake Erie.
Turkey had splendid feet--new, and
e4nipped with all the modern improve.
ments, yet II did absolutely nothing for
her. The fne navy OF Russia proved
equally as impotent.
While ironclads arc frequently useful,
and at times almost indispensable, no
such results can be reasonably expected
Of them now as formerly. The terrible
power which thus neutralizes naval prov
ess is the torpedo.

1t was the expression of an opinion in ad
