Under Construction With Great Brit
ain Close Second.

London. May 5.-A parliamentary re-
turn was issued this morning giving
the number of war ships built and
building of the seven strongest navies
in the world. 1t credits Russia with
only one completed submarine boat.
Russia is credited, however, with four
teen others in course of construction
but a footnote points OUT that 1t is
uncertain whether all these have ac-
tually been commenced. The United
States comes first in battle ships
building with thirteen in course of con-
struction, followed by Great Britain
with twelve. The latter is constructing
seventeen armored cruisers against
eleven for the United States the third
in order being France with nine amor
ed cruisers building.
