Outcome of the Blockade.
The blockader will then find himself
in this dilemma. either he maintains
really strict blockade, and then there
is serious risk that his hips go the
way of the Hatsuse, Petropavlosk and
others, or he keeps them well out of
danger, and then the blockade is but
a fictitious one, and in such case
British commerce has everything to
lose. OF course, 1t is understood that
the German ocean-borne commerce is
completely stranded for the time be-
ing, but the effort of such suspension
on the large extent of German terri
tory will be nothing in comparison
with the results of such suspension in
the case of Britain, which would bring
with it absolute peril to that country,
while in the case of Germany there
would be no such danger. What pos
sible use would be those big guns of
the Dreadnoughts and the Invincibles :?
Certainly they would be useless for
the purpose for which they were orig.
inally designed, fight in the open, in
the Atlantic for example, in full day.
light, with a final strenuous effort of
the Tsushima type.
If the history of the armored ship
era teaches anything, it teaches that
every change is always preceded by
universal conviction that something
akin to finality has been reached!
Italy has so frequently anticipated
events that her program is always of
special interest. And it was quite a
very few years ago that Col. Cunt
bertfs Ideal British Battleship" ex-
cited something very like derision
from those who characterized the idea
of a battleship armed with nothing
but pinch guns as altogether too
fanciful an idea for a serious work."
Yet now every battleship is a "Cupi.
berti," more or less.

Dreadnought type, was completed dur.
ing 1908, as were most of the armored
cruisers of equal date.
Considerable progress ha been made
on Japan's other big Dreadnought, the
Aki, and two ships, the first of a new
series, are well advanced. Four 9TH
erS are projected, but none of them
appears to be yet in hand. The num-
per Of big armored cruisers to be
built is rather indefinite; 1t is doubt
fui whether more than one is actually
in hand.
One of the most interesting develop
ments of the recent past is the ad.
vent of Dreadnoughts among the north.
ern European coast defense" naviea.
OF these navies, that of Sweden is
probably equal to the Russian in ships
as they now stand. Under the new
programs Sweden, Norway and Hol-
land all project or are beginning to
build Dreadnoughts of power. quite
equal to the best battleships set afloat
by any nation few years ago. Sup
posing Sweden to build these as in
dustriously as she has built her coast
defense battleships in the past, it will
not be long before this country be-
comes an extremely important factor
in the Baltic, especially in the event
of Norway cooperating, as might well
be the case in matters involving gen.
eral Scandinavian interests.
In the South American nayies none
of the ambitious programs OF last
year have yet borne fruit except the
Brazilian. These carry IL Pinch, and
so are considerably superior to the
Dreadnoughts in gunfire, but the pro-
lection given is distinctly less.
In varying degree with each of the
smaller navies, the standards of value
which apply to the great navies are
hardly applicable, the value of any
warship being governed by its prob.
able antagonists.

heart with hatpin and strangled and
the other. whose body hung from a

was being dressed that DR.. Mckenzie
