GREAT BRITAIN'S
NAVY is GREATER

LONDON, England. March is. -
Speaking in the House of Lords this
evening, Lord Tweedmouth, first
Lord of the Admiralty, defended the
policy of the Government in refrain
ing temporarily from laying down a
large number of hattleships and said
that the construction of battleships
Just now partook largely of tho ma
ture' OF an experiment
Great Britain's three vessels of the
Temeraire type, he declared, were in
nnitely superior to the Dreadnought
type, and the three vessels OF the st.
Vincent type would be an improve
ment on the Temeraire type. In the
spring of 1911 Great Britain would
have three squadrons of four ships
each OF the st. Vincent type. No
power in the world would be able to
assemble such fleet of first-class
battleships, Lord Tweedmouth de-
clared, and he could almost say that
combination OF all the Powers OF
the world would not be able to put
an equal squadron on the sea.

THINKS FLEET SHOULD
... STAY IN PACIFIC

BERLIN. Germany, March II. -
Count Ernest Reventlow, the naval
specialist, has published in the Tag
liche Rundschau an appreciation for
the voyage made by the American
battleship feet around South Amer
lea, The writer doubts very much,
however, whether the naval strate-
gists at Washington will advise the
Fleet to return to the Atlantic by
way of the Suez Canal, after IL has
visited Australia and the Philip
pines. Count Reventlow, who is ra-
Their closely in touch with the Ger
man Admiralty, considers that the
political effect OF the American ma
val demonstration will be largely
lost unless the Fleet remains in the
Pacific until the Panama Canal Is
completed.
