An indication Of the immense addI.

over the navy's personnel as 1t was
when hostilities began.
One year ago the 10000 men in the
British navy included large numbers
occupying shore posts at the admiralty
offices and at the various dock yards
and naval stations. The additions
made since then are practically entire

Of determined enemy assaults.
The arrival of the car at the Gal

official statement issued at midnight
reported the capture Of 1900 Austro-

It is quite within the bounds Of pos

ships have been made ready for battle
during the past eleven months. The
original dreadnought was laid down
in December, 1905. and was completed
in October, 1906. The admiralty issued
orders that test for construction
under war time conditions was to be
made with the first dreadnought, and
the vessel was ready for the fighting
line ten months after the keel was
laid.
Beside concentrating on new fleets
of s1lperdreadnoughts, the admiralty
has been hurrying work on light
cruisers, to replace those destroyed
by the Germans. New torpedo boat
