Las grandes potencias nava1es,

Duraute mucho tempo ha ocu-
pado Francia el segundo lugar en-
ire las grandes potencias maritimas.
Sus hotas considerabanse como las
mas formidables, despues de las po-
derosiSimas de la Gran Bretaiia.
Al presente no es Francia la
segunda potencia naval; la que en-
ta' concepto Sc pone inmediatamen-
te despues de Inglaterra, es Norte
America. La marina de guerra fran
cesa queda relegada al tercer lugar,
y a1n este range casi 10 comparte
con Alemania, cuyas fuerzas nava.
les no Sc hallan respecto a las de
Francia, en- situaci6n de muy ma.
nifesta inferioridad.
Recientemente asignaba Ell AL
'mirantazgo britanico q la armada
francesa el segundo lugar; ahora le
atribuye el tercero. Y clio es debi-
do a que antes el Almirantazgo bri-
tanico para hacer la classification,
atendi6 al n1mero de las grandes
unidades de combate de cada ma
ci6n, mientras que ahora, para la
determination de la potencialidad
martina, ha tornado como base la
fecha de construction de los mas
importantes navlos de guerra que
poseen las potencias que ejercen el
dominic de los mares.
Los buques de guerra desme-
recen en- gran manera con el trans
curse de los afios. Pocos bastan
para que una importante unidad
de combate quede relegada a lugar
secundario. Y es que a Ia acci6n
destructora del tempo, hay que
afiadir otto factor mucho mas i'm
portante; el progreso que de dia en-
dfa Sc opera en- el ramo de construc-
clones navales; progreso que da q
los nuevos navfos, sobre los lanza-
dos al mar anteriormente, una in
mensa superioridad.
De ahi la nueva base de clasifi
caci6n adoptada por el Almirante
britanico. Este divide los navios
de lfnea en- dos categorfas, atendien
do a la fecha de su construction,

to carry the forbidden stuff into

filed suit to compel them to do so.

that while Sheehan may legally sell

has no right to compel the railroad
