Succession to AdmiraIs.

frDm the LONDON MALL
During the recent cruise of division of
the Mediterranean fleet, under Rear Ad-
miral Lord Charles Beresford, complete
innovation in the usual methods of COM
mand was tested with successful results.
Many naval officers of the modern school
hold that the fighting fleets of today re-
quire spare admirals, and that in their
absence disaster may ensue at a critical
moment of battle. The death of the COM
mander-in-chief and of his second in COM
mand Is one of the most likely events of
future wars at sea, since the fire of the
enemy will infallihly be concentrated on
that portion Of the flagship where the d.
recting brain of our fleet may be expected
to be found. The only alternative to the
provision of duplicate admirals Is to in
trust the captains of the various battle
ships In succession with the responsibility
of controlling and maneuvering the whole
fleet. This is the plan adopted by Lord
Charles Beresford Night and day for
week the division under his command has
been Unanswered by the various captains,
with the result that valuable experience
has been gained all round, and a sensible
addition to the efficiency of the feet sue
cessfully effected. A captain of a battle
ship under present circumstances when
promoted to flag rank has never handled
a fleet. The importance of Lord Charles
Beresfords innovation Is scarcely to be
measured by statistics or parliamentary
reports, but the common sense of the plan
should command 1t to the board of ad-
miralty.

When is library not library? when

suggested by the presidential address to

and what be says is that there is always
a tendency among such as are close to the
abyss OF insanity to cleaye to the nubIic
library Mr.. Fortescue's remark reminds
us OF some amusing and characteristic evil
dence which Carlyle gave to a Commission
on the British Museum half century ago

state OF imbecility. They are sent there nv

Next Monday evening Anna Held will ap
pear in her new musical comedy at the

Held in 1.-The Little Duchess" will do the
best work Of her career as a Coincidence.
The musical comedy was written by De
Koven and Smith. and Manager Ziegfeld,
jr., has given 1.-The Little Duchess a most
gorgeous setting. The scenes Of the COM
edy are laid in Ostend, where photographs
taken there this summer by Mr.. Ziegfeld
have been reproduced for the scenic en-
vironment, and the musical melange
abounds with fun, wit, bright sayings and
doings. Miss Held Is to have strong sup
port this season, including Charles Bige-
low, Joseph W. Herbert, George Marion.
Eva Davenport, Sydney Barraclough, the
famous English baritone. and Charles
Swain. The chorus is composed Of young
women of extraordinary beauty.
Miss Held in one of her acts is to
appear in boy costume. and If photographs
speak truly she makes very handsome
lad.
