and torpedo boats have been ordered to rein
force the Mediterranean and northern divis-
lon, and these two fleets, made up Of twelve
vessels, will meet at Brest on July /, coinci-
OF the German, Italian and English fleets.
Another incident has had some influence
with this haste In preparation on the part Of
the French. 1t was the sham attacks on the
defences abreast the needles Of the Isle Of
Wight by the British fleet, which is put
down for July and 8. to be followed by a
nine or ten day naval fight and series OF evo-
lutions. During this exercise, Admiral Sey-
mour will conduct the offensive, and Admir-
al Tryon the defensive operations.
