THE DEFENCE OF TRADE.
.4dmiraItys Report on Recent Brit
ish ManeuUreS.

London. Feb 1S.-Fifty-five per cent of the
merchantmen which took part in the naval
manoeuvres OF 1906. designed to show the extent
Of risk TO British shipping in time Of war, were
lost" The Admiralty report, however, ex-
plains that the percentage would have been con-
siderably lower if all the merchant vessels in
the area Of the manGuvres, 10 the number Of
over four hundred, had participated. As It was.
the attack OF the dfty-seven ships Of the "ene-
iny's" feet was concentrated upon fewer than
hundred merchant ships.
The Admiralty adds that the high percentage
OF loss would be alarming, except for the fact
that the success OF the "enemy's" feet was
achieved only at the expense Of the complete
disorganizaton of his fighting forces. II hostili-
ties had continued, the beginning OF the third
week OF the way would have seen all his COM
Ynerce destroying ships either captured or block
AIDED in their defended ports. The Admiralty
concludes that the losses Of the respective fleets
prove that. although q temporary commercial
crisis might possibly be caused in London by an
attack on British shipping, the complete defeat
Of the aggressor could not long be delayed.
