London, July 24.-Four more Dreadnoughts
are likely to be laid down at once, and a sup
Elementary estimate for the additional cost will
be presented to Parliament early next week
The detection Of the Labor party and the Radi-
Gals is not likely to be rious, and the general
effect of having q larger naval programme Will
be helpful in the attempt to carry the budget
through the Lords. The four new hattleshps
which will complete the quota of eight will out
class the original Dreadnought, since their ar
mament will include ten 13-inch guns in place
of 12-inch. and their displacement will exceed
25O00 tons They will also cost considerably
more, for construction and armament. They
will increase the radius Of gun fire and the con-
centration OF engine power required for maxi
mum speed. and establish England's supremacy
in sea power completely that the colonial
delegates to the Imperial Naval Conference may
clamor for the privilege of contributing TO the
cost Of construction; yet they will be highly
destructive warships for the Admiralty. since
they VIII knock out the Dreadnoughts and send
them prematurely to the scrap heap obsolete

more ships will follow the weeks pageant in the

graduation from the press over the convincing
