What Matin Says

PARIS, July 24.-That the world is
not yet on the eve Of the cessation of
the struggle between Great Britain
and Germany for naval supremacy, is
the prevalent opinion in France after
careful study of, the recent speech by
Winston Spencer Churchill in the
house of commons. The continuation
Of the rivalry between those stwo
countries causes note of regret here;
but there is an inclination to believe
that If it must go on, France should
learn lesson from England's proce-
dure and herself increase her navy.
The Matin, commenting On the sub
jeet, says it is in a position to declare
that Italy and Austria at the instiga-
ton Of Germany are about to build
additional super in re-
gard to which nothing has been per-
mitted to transpire. Italy is to con-
struct six of these vessels, each of
10000 tons displacement and capable
of steaming at speed of rs knots, while
Austria is to build three, each of them
displacing $4,000 tons. The newspa-
