fishes an interview with Baron Dauoleb-
skye Won Sterneek Won Ehrenstein, the
commander of the Austrian navy, in
which the admiral is quoted as saying that
he thought the success of the Japanese
was due TO the superior education of their
officers, which was obtained In Europe,
their better discipline and their better
knowledge of the working of modern
weapons. The admiral adds that the
great lesson Of the naval battle off the
mouth oS the Yalu river was that armed
cruisers were well able to hold their own
against unwieldy battleships, and, in his
opinion, If the naval powers were we'll ad-
vised they would pay more attention in
the future to armored cruisers than to
costly men-of- war.
