ENGLAND WILL NOT
 BUILD NEW DOCKYARD.
Scheme Proposed Involved The Expenditure of Over Twenty.Two Million Dollars-Will Build Fewer Warships, But Those That Are Built Will be of Greater Power.

London, July 2S.-In the course of the vote of the naval works in the House of Commons today Lieutenant Colonel Arthur Hamilton Lee, civil lord of the admiralty, annoupced that the admiralty had decided not to pro- ceed with the Chatham backyard ex tension but instead to push work on the new base at ROsyth, Firth of Forth, Scotland. The Chatham eX tension scheme as explained in 1903, contemplated the expenditure of S22, oOOOOO Explaining the reasons for this step Lieutenant Colonel Lee said there was a probability that warshlps fn the future would be fewer in num- Der and greater in individual power Hence the berthing and docking space must be of the largest size.
 The admiralty had decided that Rosyth possessed greater strategical and other advantages than Chatham. The civil lord of admiralty, probably mindful of the sensation caused in Germany by his speech at Eastleigh in February last, added that he did not wish to enlarge on the strategic advantages of naval base on the east course as it must be patent to everybody. The plans he said had been prepared for naval base of the most complete description so that eX- tensions could be carried out as re- quired. The initial works would, complete in themselves, cost S12, ,500,- 900.
 In a speech at dinner of railway men in Eastleigh February ?, Colonel Lee was quoted as having said that in the recent distribution of Great Britain's naval strength. England had not so much to keep her eyes on France and the Mediterranean. but to look with anxiety toward the North sea. and that the fleets had been so distributed as to enable them to deal with any danger In that direction should 1t occur.
 Under existing circumstances, he added, the British navy would get it's blow in first. and he maintained that ''by the recent naval reforms Great Britain's strength as naval fighting power has been practically doubled during the last few weeks"
