space to the subject, bonuses and prizes are
still being offered and many firms are de-
cliniug to employ men except they become

The Admiralty announces that Lord
Charles Beresford will yacate the command
of the Channel Fleet on March twenty
fourth, and that the more important vessels
will be commanded by Sir Archibald Berkely
Milne, forming a second division of the main

Charles Beresford will probably retire ON

NOUS discussions.
