The fierceness of the rivalry
between European nations for SUI.
prcmacy is as we'll illustrated by
the growth of the British navy,
which yesterday made a great
show of it's strength at Spithead.
The figures indicating that
growth were given by Mr..
Cramp, the great ship-builder of
Philadelphia in recent address.
They show that since 1SS5-in
twelve years-England has spent
$517, 100000 on new war vessels,
their equipment and armament.
During the same years the num-
Der Of officers and men serving
in her ships has risen from $4,000
to 100, 800. The fighting power
of her war fleet is estimated to
be four times as great now as
then, while in men and material
the fleet has doubled.
England has not willingly sub
mitted to the sacrifices necessary
to create this enormous sea pow
err. She has made them because
she was obliged to do SO. The
existence of her empire-even
the food supply Of her home peo-
ple-depends upon her maintain
ing the command Of the seas. AS
her several rivals build ships, she
must build more than they, or
perish. The necessity of build
ing and maintaining such a fleet
is the greatest burden on English
lndustry-a burden which would
be eagerly thrown off, if that
were possible.
Possibly because he is a ship
builder, Mr.. Cramp is anxious
that the United States also
