some interesting figures relative to the
British navy. Among other items
whoa ourht to give the anti-naval tax
nayers OF America, a chance to reflect Is
he expenditure during the last seven
wears OF e22 100000 for new ships. a
Glance u. the book shows what ire
Iaendous cost, and incidentally waste,
Tie British navy is to the nation. War
ships OF the very latest designs become
obsolete before they have even left the
building yards, while fabulous sums are
spent annually in refitting and altering
useless ships. But generally the British
navy shows up very well veil Eng. England has as
l05 and Russia 81. The total dispiace-
ment of the British fleet is roughly :
100000 tons, of the French navy 10000
and of the Russian navy 26,0OO.
