greater than ten miles
After witnessing a rerielc Of ten Of our best

these massive structures pass, some OF us
wondered how long they could contest with
the superior range. gun-power and speed OF
the modern battle-cruisers of other nations.
To those interested in naval development it
was obvious that only four out OF the ten
would make real showing under modern
battle conditions.
