OF this great naval game could be I'M
derstood only by naval experts, but the
result was that the fleets representing
the English squadrons effected the de-
sired union. In the case of the Eng
lish maneuyers, in which one hundred
and seventy vessels participated, the
problem was to defend the English
channel and its approaches and ST.
Georges channel from the attack of a
hostile fleet, bent on destroying COM
merce. Here, as in the case OF the
French maneuVers, the victory rested
with the enemy. According to the cal
culated results, the attacking fleet lost
only three cruisers. three torpedo boat
destroyers and three torpedo boats.
while it sunk dozen cruisers, two
gunboats and eight torpedo boat de-
stroyers OF the defending fleet, and
captured an indefinite number OF mer-
chahtmen. Both in England and
france there has been sharp criticism
recently on the efficiency of the navy.
Inc disappointing result of these
maneuVers Is likely to strengthen the
demand for improved construction and
a reformed administrauon.-Yo Youths
