Wherever the two systems have separate
tracks they have different agents, but
where neither has q line into city

NEW NAVY FOR RUSSIAN
It Can Be Created in Strength Within
Five Years.
From Pages Weekly.

From Pages Weekly.
The naval section of the Imperial Rus
sian Technical Society has just completed
an investigation as to the possibilities of
constructing new Russian fleet In Rus
sian shipbuilding yards and has arrived at
the conclusion that this can be done In
five years time 1t is stated, the Baltic
works can build eight first-class cruisers
ana the Galerny Island and New Admiralty
yards twelve frst-class battleships Krun-
stadt, with its Peter Dock. Is Ia a position
to construct armored cruisers of the i'm
proved Bayan type and seagoing gunboats
or torpedo transports. Torpedo cruisers
ana SubmerSfbeS may be ordered of the
Neva works and of Langes works in Riga.
Seagoing torpedo boats (fncluding destroy
ers), and coast defense torpedo boats can
be successfully built IN the small shippuiid-
Ing yards of Finland, Riga, Reyal and L.
bau, which may also take in hand the
construction of part Of the torpedo trans
ports or storeships required.
The Pulley works can complete in the
same period four cruisers of the Bayan
type and number of torpedo boats and
sunboats. AS to the works in the south
OF Russia. 1t is estimated that Nikoiaieff
and Sevastopol can complete four battle
ships four cruisers of the Bayan type. and
some torpedo boats. In regard to machin-
cry, orders may be placed. beside the Bal
tic works, with the Franco-Russian Sor-
moro, Briansk, st. Petersburg Metal Works
fNihoidieI Works ana those or Nobel and
Lessner (both In St Petersburg Orders
for auxiliary mechanisms may be distrib-
uted among the numerous other smaller
works
AS to guns and torpedo gear. although
precise data are not Forthcoming on the
capacity of the government works for their
production. the society is of opinion that
their output might be increased to the de-
sired degree Private works can supply
large quantity of torpedoes and projectiies
The manufacture of armor plating pre-
sents the Creates difficulty and in all prob
ability part of the orders will have to be
placed abroad, although this branch of
Industry is capable of considerable expan-
sion If only the money can be found for
the plant 4 sl--.s-a-s - - -
Points to be noticed In the policy which
has been outlined as to the constitution If
a future fleet are the very small number
of cruisers and the evident belief in the
fighting power of the submarine In the de-
velopment of which 1t need hardly be said
Russian engineers have played a not UNI
important part. AS to the battleships.
It Is an obvious necessity that a certain
number should be built, and 1t is calcu-
lated Russian yards could in ten years
build twenty-nine The policy thus sketched
out makes provision for a large feet of
gunboats, and this could only mean that
the need of the far east is still to be a
potent factor in Russian naval admlnistra-
ton.
