the Navy Department indicate that the
Powers Of the world are actively increas-
Ing their naval forces to an unusual degree.
In this movement Great Britain takes tho
lead by n wide margin. with France second
ana and Russia tying with .Ee
United States, for the third place.
Great Britain is stronger. according 10
expert opinion, than France and Russia
combined. with plenty OF leeway.
n position of the United States. ac-
eording to foreign estimates. should now
be as near France as that Of either err
many or Russia. which have both n.5a
great strides Of late years toward the sX-
pansion OF their nayiss.
n naval programme Of Increase
continues the second largest extant and IS
exceeded only that OF Great Britain.
As the second ranking naval Power
France will probably continue to be the
second mistress OF the seas for many wears
although. according 10 Lord Brasscy. she
Is not making the advance that her posi-
ton calls for.
At present she has building three great
hattleships. each of 1855 tons displacement:
and three of the same type Of over 1000
displacement.
germany Is following a programme OF in
crease agreed upon some years ago and de-
signed to place her ahead of Russia and she
United States in amount OF tonnage COM
pleted. When IL comes TO Great BritaIn's
s~tupendous plan of naval increase. that q
all other nations looks small in comparison.
Great Britain, 10 maintain a naval force
equal to that Of any two other naval Pow
ers combined, is forced to expend millions

her present list OF increase it is easy to see
that she must continue for years TO be more
powerful on the ocean than any two ether
countries combined. Three battleships OF
$500 tons. two OF 15.0OO tons. six of 1860
tons and three more recent ships OF Ia.0CO
tons comprise her great feet OF battleships
now under construction.
