Twenty-Eight Warships in Year.

The most notable feature of the year
1911, from d strictly naval standpoint,
will be the fact that the number of
ships of the dreadnought type launched
will be equal, save one, to the combined
total for the three preceding years. A
cruisers. armed on the singie-caliber-
gun principle, have been put into the
water this year. eight of these, includ-
ing the two colonial ships, being
British.
This proportion to the worlds dread
noughts is not so good as il was in 1910.
when out Of total of nine launched
Britain's share was four, but on the other
hand, the number of naval powers. pos
sessing ships of this type afiOat has been
added to this year by France. Russia,
Turkey. Austria, Spain and the Argen-
tine Republic. that a proportion of
slightly over three to one cannot be re-
garSied as otherwise than satisfactory.
Great Britain's position in dreadnought ITS
exemplifies the business adage. We lead !;
others follow as out of siXtyfour afioat
she owns twenty -four. Germany follows
with fourteen the United States comes
next with eight, Italy and Russia each
has a quartet, France, Japan, Spain
Brazil and the Argentine Republid two
each. and Austria and Turkey one each.
The proportionate figures will necessarily
fiuctuate from time to time but a sub
stantial lead by Great Britain is assure |
if the new first lord acts up to his pro-
fesson of faith that I'VE must have a
navy so strong to make 1t beyond
