LONDON, Sept. 12.-No sign Of slack
ening in naval competition among the
nations is discernible in the returns just
issued by the admiralty showing the
comparative strength of the navies Of
the world and the huge amounts which
the great powers are spending on their
fleets.
Great Britain Is still ahead Of all other
nations in completed battleships-of

the Howe. launched in 1885. with a dis
placement of 1890 tons. TO the Dread
noUght. launched in 1906. and having a
displacement Of 1890 tcns-and in ar
nOred cruisers and destroyers.
1t Is noteworthy, however, that Ger
many IS spending on new construction
during the present year almost exactly
the same amount as the British adrni-
rally.
All the British cruisers mentioned IN
the return have been launched since
1901, whereas the ages o. the American
vessels range from 1891 10 1905, the
French from 1890 to 1905. japanese from
1898 TO 1906. and the German from 1897 10
