ITSNAVY FALLS SHORT
CRITICISM BY A BRITISH AD-
MIRAL AT LONDON FUNCTION.
ial Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cabesram to The Star.
LONDON. May 2S-It seems that the
great British navy is not all that ii was
expected to be by its fondest friends,
Admiral Fremantle. speaking at the an
nual dinner OF the Licensed Victuallers'
Central Protection Society of London.
called attention to the fact that all the
vessels which figured in the recent naval
disasters belonged to the home fleet.
While. as a retired admiral l am re-
luctant to criticise the admiralty" he
said. Il cannot agree that half-manned
ships should be set to run the risks of
fully manned ships" 1t would thus APP
pear that with all her vaunted pride in the
navy England is not able to fully man
her ships.
A similar charge has often been made
by the enemies of the United States on
this side of the ocean. but the probability
Is that the American warships are better
manned than the British. and in the event
of war would not be as heavily handi-
capped as her imperialistic friend. This.
however. is not the only trouble with
England's navy. Many defects in con-
struction have been discovered: in fact,
fully as many as have been found in the
American battleShips.
A week or two before the Indomita BILE,
the greatest British cruiser afloat. began
her official trials all the contractors on
the admiralty list were enjoined to secrecy
regarding work in progress for the royal
navy The new circulars were not. how
ever. actually due to a fear that particu-
lars of the big cruiser would leak out.
Some trivial fact concerning a destroyer
had been given publicity and my lords
seized the opportunity to lecture the con-
tractors on the general question.
Official Secrecy.
Sympathy is naturally with the con-
tractors. who will have to bear in silence
all the unfavorable criticisms to which
their productions are subjected, and at the
same time be held blamable for all the
accurate details that are published.
Amid all this official secrecy 1t is curious
to hear in a quarter which, as a rule.
damage which was done on the In
domita BILE during her gun trials
In some respects more havoc was
wrought on the cruiser by the blast from
the broadside guns than on the battle
ship Dreadnought, which was bad enough
in all conscience Boats in their davits
were. smashed to matchwood and deal
of the woodwork between decks was dam
aged. The gun mountings. of course. and
the ship structure stood the severe test.
and shipbuilding the vessels are there
fore undoubted successes.
Still, the wreckage of ship fittings. and
particularly of boats gives food for
thought as to what might happen in an
actual battle. With conclusion and blast
so destructive as they appear to have
been in this instance the danger to the
men behind the guns might in some cir
cumstances be very serious Are vast

soap will be directly over the water. The
supporting arm is not stationary. but is
pivoted, in order that the soap can be
dipped down into the water when neces-

BRISTOL Is FELICITATED.
All Washington Pleased With Ele-
vation-Talk of Successor


Pastors and laymen of all denomina-
tons In this city express delight over the
election of DR.. Frank NJ. Bristol. pastor
of the Metropolitan NJ E Church. TO
the episcopate.
Talk Of Successor.
This elevation of DR.. Bristol will leave
a great pulpit vacant 1t is generally be-
lieved the place will be hard to fill To-
day. however. much talk was heard OF
Rev. DR.. c. E. Locke, pastor OF the Ham
son Place NJ. e Church. Brooklyn. one OF
,Ae largest churches in Method.sn. as
the successor.
When President Mckinley was shot in
Buffalo in 1901 DR.. Locke was pastor OF
the Richmond Avenue NJ. Z. Church. the
largest Methodist church in that city. and
he took a prominent part in the funeral
of the martyred chief executive. At that
time many prominent laymen or the
Metropolitan Church here. to which Presi-
dent Mckinley belonged. became acquaint-
ed with DIR. Locke and liked him When
talk of the elevation of DR.. Bristol to the
bishopric has been heard in the past. DIR.
Locke has usually been mentioned as
probable successor.
1t is expected a committee of laymen OF
the church will soon be appointed TO con-
slider the matter. working with Presiding
Elder j. W. r. Sumwalt OF the Washing
ton district.
AS the Metropolitan Church is usually
regarded as a national rather than To-
cal church Ii is explained. its congro-
cation will feel free to call pastor from
any part of the nation. When the pulpit
of a local Methodist church is vacant the
selection is often limited to the conference
in which it is located.
Ovation Unprecedented.
although I was not present at the gen.
eral conference session when DIR. Bristol
was elected bishop" stated Rev. DR..
c. E. Guthrie, pastor of the Hamline
Methodist Episcopal Church here. \ nave
learned from others who were there that
the ovation given him has never peen
eoualed in the history of general CONFER
ences.
I'm the weeks during which the general
conference has been in session both clerl-
acquainted with DR.. Bristol and nave
come to know his qualities. That accounts
for his election and for the "ohoeriul
ovation which he received.
Although applause and cheering are
forbidden in the general conference. l am
told that for half an nour after the an
nouncement of DIR. BristoTs election was
made the convention was beyond the con-
troll of the presiding officer, and DR.. Bris-
toll was the recipient OF the ovation
Methodist ministers and laymen OF this
city l think. are greatly PLEASED py Ia
Bristol's election.
II think ministers of all denominations
in the city will be delighted by MS elec
tion to the highest honor in the GIT OF
