JELLICOE URGES
STRENGTH ON SEA
Tells Australia Empire Depends Abso-
lutely on Safety of Sea
Routes

sydney, Australia. July 9.-(Correspond-
Yiscount Jellicoe preached a policy of
preparation for war in some of the
speeches he has delivered Nhere while
visiting Australia to inform the Austral-
ian government concerning matters of
naval policy.
when discussions take place on such
subjects as the league of nations or the
question of limitation of ornaments,
trust it will never be forgotten that the
existence of the British empire depends
absolutely upon the safety of its sea
communications, said Viscount Jellicoe
at sydney, where he addressed the Navy
league. Before the war, he said, Great
britain suffered from a lack of sufficient
ships to guard the long lines of COM
munfcation between London and Aus
tralia and, he added, 1t is up TO the
British empire to see that we are never
in want of sufficient policemen afloat in
the future
Speaking of the deadly risks run in
the last five years., the admiral said,
zone can only hope that in the future
sufficient provisions will be made both
by the mother country and by the over
seas domnions to insure the impossi-
bilitv of defeat of the British navy
After giving some information to show
how long it took Great Britain to pre-
pare for Germany's submarine campaign
Viscount Jellicoe said: The lesson
am trying to preach is preparation for
war. / would like to say very serious
ly that it seems to me the conclusion is
| forced upon us that the British empire
depends now more than ever upon naval
supremacy" sss.
Leaving Sydney early in July the ad'
miral started on a months tour to north
ern Australian ports and of the coast of
New Guinea and adjacent islands.

Washington, August 16.-The rapid rise
of the United States as a naval power the
past two years is graphically demonstrat-
ed in figures showing the sea strength of
the various world powers, compiled by the
navy departments office of naval intel
ligence. They show that the United States
close pressed by France in 19ifafor its
place as third naval power in the world,
is now second only to Great Britain, and
is at present pushing to completion a
building programme that will make the
American navy, for the first time in re-
cent history, formidable contender for
first naval honors.
A little more than two years ago the
figures show Germany, then. second
naval power, boosted more than 100 more
ships of all classes than the United
States, with total tonnage exceeding
that of the American navy by nearly
200 900 tons Great Britain's fleet at that
time numbered a total of $50 ships aggre-
eating 2,375,564 tons, as compared with
Gerrnany's 262 ships and 1,05S,240 tons, and
the United States 1853 ships and s6o,0ll
tens.
Today Germany, now in third place
among naval powers, has paper navy
of 45O ships of all types, totallng S2s,e87
tons. These figures do not include Ger
man vessels surrendered to the allies or
Russian vessels in the hands of the Ger
rams. Regarded from the standpoint OF
fighting efficiency as distinguished from
number of ships and tonnage, Germany
is outclassed by both France and Japan
her navy being composed almost en-
tireiv of old and obsolete vessels. The
pride of Germany's sea power was sur
rendered to the allies at Scapa Flow
where many of them were sunk by their
officers and crews.

 OfF TEMPORARILY '

The change of quarters of the Nenana club from their old place in the Bowen building to the Ne mana Commercial club chambers in the Union Hall building, will ne- cessitate many changes in the uses the club rooms have been put to in the past.
 Owing to the very limited space now available, and the fact that the arrangements made with the Nenana Commercial club for the use of their quarters are tentative, the quarters will not be available for the ladies' card parties as hereto fore.
 This is only temporary arrange ment and just as soon as the club has satisfactorily arranged it's affairs and has again gone into occupancy ,of quarters of its own, the card parties and other functions in which the ladies can also take part, will probably be resumed.
 Announcement of this will be made in due course.
