been drafted into the reserve with nu-
cleus crews, the admiralty placed at Ad-
miral Lord Charles Beresford's command

match for the combined fleets of any two

tion. criticism OF the policy of the ad-
miralty has been almost silenced by the
publication of the building program. For
eign experts may condemn the large bat
tleships OF the Dreadnought type, but the
Brtisher believes in them and the an
nouncement that within two years Great
Britain will have n fleet numbering n
round dozen of these monsters. has been
received with the greatest enthusiasm.
