WANTED. AN ENGLISH WAR COLLEGE.

CAPTAIN MAY PLEADS FOR ONE LIKE THAT AT
REINFORCEMENT DOCKS AT DEvoNPoRT.
The United States Naval War College at New
port, r. L. seems TO have met with a quasI-ap-
prova. by some Of the British Navy officers. for a
strong rlea for a like institution has been made by
CAPTAIN May. who is the Captain Mahan or the
English service In recent valuable essay on
naval tactics Captain May pleads earnestly for
tactical school at one of the naval ports, where
officers could learn something OF the art OF war
as a whole Spencer Wilkinson. in recent treatise
on the same subject said: THE study OF war finds
no place in naval curriculum" There are spe
cialties such as torpedo work and gunnery. In the
English service. but these are not combined into
one whole There are also large fleets in commits
sion. which have series of evolutions once in
a while, but in these only portion OF the officers
can serve. And in connection with this Captain
May adds; IAN officer can go for years without
ever seeing the simplest fleet evolution carried out
and such thing as instruction In tactics Is simply
non-cxistent.'
The old adage, He who fights and runs away"
etc. is put in a new form by what CAPTAIN May
says concerning the advantages of combined exer-
cises Of torpedo-boat sQuadrons and large ships
such as those which have been carried out In
French manoeuvres. He considers that the mod
ern we-protected battle-ship will not be quickly
put out Of action except by the torpedo. A method
Of fighting that gives commanding position Tor
possessed by feet which turns It's sterns to the
enemy and fights running away-that Is. firing tor
pedoes from the sterns
The Importance Of Davenport as naval station
is to be demonstrated by the British Admiralty. IL
has begun a scheme Of extension which in costli-
ness. II not in importance, will eclipse anything
heretofore attempted. and will convert Devonport
into the largest and most efficiently defended
arsenal in the world. The scheme includes the Gre
alton OF tidal basin, with an area OF 352 acres
1850 feet long 1000 feet broad and with depth Of
81 feet below the coping stone Leading from this
BASIN which will be entered by tidal caisson. Will

According 20 the programme OF reorganization
Of the Dutch Navy, there are TO be laid down

land and Fliesland, and with a speed Of % knots;
six armored cruisers Of the same type as the
