more and more strained. Lord Charles
demanded that he be allowed to exercise

and that any attempt to engage in such
exercises would involve the public eX-
posure OF the state to which the fleet
had been brought by the economists.
Now comes the most remarkable
feature in the intrigue OF which this
bluff. hearty sailor is said to be a vic
tim. When the liberals took office early
in 1908 they found a naval program call
ing for the construction Of four battle
ships Of the Dreadnought type every
year. This number of great ships a

sary to keep England feet superior to

The country was aroused to this condi
ton a few months ago. and the lords of
the admiralty demanded that the govern
ment provide in this years estimates for
at least seven Dreadnoughts to be laid
down ut once. The liberal ministers re-
piled that 1t was impossible to find the
money. and the lords of the admiralty
threatened to resign. Finally they agreed
to accept five Dreadnoughts as an ire
ducible minimum. and at last-here comes
the anna zing bargain--they agreed to wink
