 OF ALLIES IN WAR
Discussed by French and Italian Premiers at Official Dinner
 at French Embassy.

Paris, Feb. 12, a. m.-A Havas despatch, dated Feb. II, says that at the official dinner given in the French embassy the addresses delivered by Premier Briand of France, and Pre- mier Salandra of Italy dealt chiefly with the closer future relations of the allies in the conduct of the war.
 'It is in this union," said M. Briand, which is each day becoming cl ,ser both in our military enterprises and in all the phases of our economic struggle against our enemies, that a sure guarantee of victory lies"
 In reply Signor Salandra expressed the assurance that the exchanges of views which they had had with the French visitors would bring about that unity which is indispensable to the action of the governments of the al- lies.

 In the fleet were virtually all the Fighting craft which have been in ac- &tion in this war, but they showed few
 scars with the exception of an oc- 8casional dent in their armor. The zpride of place was held by battle cruisers, which in engagements from &the Falkland Islands to the Darda- #nelles have borne the brunt of the sea lighting. Unpopular with officers and zmen before the war because they were constantly coaling, and never more 8than cautiously praised by the pro- 6ponents of the superdreadnought pol pcy, these huge fighting machines hold zthe premier position in the British fnary, in which warship speed Is now zregarded as the first and most i'm zportant principle of naval strategy.
