FRENCH NAVAL SCANDAL.
Great InefIiciency Due to Red Tape
Fleet in DcplorabIe Condition.

Paris. June 22--The report of the
parliamentary commission which In
vestigated the naval scandals IN France

condemnation of the naval administration
for the past 10 years. and II makes
astounding exposure OF the deplorable
condition Of the fleet for which France
as spent 500 nQo. cor since 1893
The $50 pages of the report ara filled with
details Of tho inefficiency resulting from
confusion and red tare. conditions that
make the French navy cost more than
the English or German.
AS an evidence of these methods It
Is pointed out that cast iron shells or
large calibre were condemned after
the accident to the battleship Iona
continued to be manufactured In larg-
or quantities than ever for two whole
years
The Patrie. the Repuhlique and
other ships Of this class were found

specifications required. Neither the
ammunition nor tho guns for the six
ships OF the Danton type, to be com
pleted in 1911. Will be ready before
1914, and France has not n single dry
dock capable of accommodating these
vessels when they are finished.
Perhaps the gravest feature OF the ex-
posture is the lack OF reserve coal and
