That the German Navy is, relatively, 155 the costliest in Europe may be proved by afow Huminative figures which I can Touch for as accurate. The Imperial dock- jarda absorb an enormously dispro portionate outlay every year. The dock- yard at Kiel employs 7,700 vorken; to supervise them are necessary 4 navai officers anit 901 yard official? At Wil" belmaharen the figures are still more striking: 7,100 workmen, printeded by 32 naval officors and 994 yard of ficials t At Danzig the figures are: 5,000 workmen, 17 marcal officers, and 400 yard officials. Thus, the average! works out at one overseer frú évérý zoveR hands. In British Government dockyards the average, I understand, is one official to thirty workmen. The differenos is doubt- less attributable to national characteristica,
pon which this is no place to dilste... Bearing the above figures is mind it will be conceded that the building of a warship in one of the Impezial dockyards must of necessity be a most costly air. Turning to the upkeep of flest units we find the mg { same expensive conditions prevailing over here. The German Navy regulations lay down that a small protocted cruiser may every fiscal year expend £10,000 on repairs, refitting, and ship's accessories. I am given to understand that for the same, elmis
