AN ENGLISH NAVAL AUTHORITY.

 ed Sea Battle.

ed Sea Battle.
 Vice Admiral Lord Charles Beres- ford. who sailed yesterday for Idver.s pool aboard the Oceanic, said that II the Russian and Japanese fleets met at sea he believed that the Japanese would win because of the superior marksmanship of their gunners and their ability to outmaneuver the Rus sians. tle," he declared, will be so great as to startle the civilized world. The only redeeming feature of the hght Will wars for years The horrors will be great. Japan's defeat, however, would not mean England's defeat as many suppose Japan was forced into this grabbing of territory to fight for.
 "The reason I think Japan will win in the coming fight Is that she Is the better gunner of the two. Ihere m IS nothing in numerical strength. The secret of success in a naval battle lies in placing ones ships to advantage and letting the gunners do the rest Japan will win the hght py getting the ta- su. number of telling shots, even though Russia has the greatest number of ships.
 great war for many years after this. England and America hold the secret of peace. If these two nations should mass their fleets no other country or group of countries would dare fight them.
 England and America must come to- gether on that question. War with all its shocking loss of life has begun to make thinking people ponder. A uni ted fleet, one bunting. one language one spirit of patriotism, combination of the only two nations of the world which have volunteer navies and arm ies, instead of a conscript system, would be able to keep the peace" for the American battle ship Missouri. on which he recently spent several days as the guest of Rear Admiral Evans, declaring that she had not an equal in the world.
