LONDON, Aug. 5.-There Is q growing
belief that the constant chatter and dis
cussion about increasing the navy are
due to the clever press agency OF men
who are interested in ship building.
Hence the public is not so easily alarmed
at the stories about threatened invasion
OF England as they were formerly.

mense strides made by the art of war
ship building In the last decade or so.
The CamperdoWn is the last Of what is
sold out Of service, the old being In
cluded to distinguish them from the ships
OF the Duncan class known as the New
Admlrals." The COMPARISON between the

structive one. The 10000 ton Camper
