There has been a great deal OF

between these two countries, at
least for a long time yet. As I have
often stated. a sufficient naval
force is the surest method OF keep
ing the peace have no wireless
communication with the future, so
if there should some time be trou-
bic. don't say / said there would
always be peace"
How about the criticisms of the
present battleship construction. as
to faulty features. ammunition
hoists. armament and armOring Of
the fighting machines. Of which the
magazines have mace so much?'
"AIl bosh, Our battleships are the
best in the world. ship for ship and
date for date, and we can show 'em
any time they want 10 start some

Sam. All he needs is more battle

no attempt upon him whatever, and
I that he was promptly removed and con-
[ fined below during the rest of the voy-
