what the English Navy wants.

One of the most important points IN
any navy is the battle training, the edu-
cation in strategy and tactics, given. Ii
is practically certain that our English
fleets will have to face constant night
attacks by hostile torpedo boats at the
outset Of war Yet we do not practice
these things in our maneuyers, rarely
even in our standidg squadrons, though
week after week the French Mediter-
ranean and northern fleets rehearse such
exercises.
A distinguished British officer, Cap
tain May. not very long ago wrote two
remarkable papers on tactics, concluding
with an appeal to authority to establish
a tactical school or college answering
to the French higher naval school and
similar institutions IN Germany and the
United States. His appeal has so far
been fruitless As nation we are apt
TO despise ledge and to believe that
somehow or other tout sc debrouillera
on the day of battle. Confidence III our
selves Is coed and wholesome, but IL
should not lead US TO forget the fact
that science has way Of taking ter
rible revenge upon those who despise
her H ". Wilson IN Eortnightly Re
view.
