The new German Navy Estimates are pretty much what they wars expected to be, although the inclination in. some quar- ters is to magnify the increase they show. Personnel, stores, and maintenance of ships and dockyards can easily absorb a lot of money, especially if the estimating! The larger is for growing demands
carring and nonrecurring expenditure may not, however, be a great as it seems to be, because at the comparisons are with last year's main Estimates, plus the Supplementary Estimates. But the greater provision for gunnery practice reflects a disposition on the part of Ger many to follow the English example in the matter of training. There it very likely a large increase here, though the gross in- cresa doas not show it. The addition of £690,000 in the non-recurting expenditure

provision is for only two armoured ships & year but, this rate of construction will Almost certainly be exceeded, However, the fact that Germany will definitely lay down four ships next year" is made the basis by the wild men" on this side of the North Sen of an argument in favour of the Laying down of eight Britian shipa next year. The view
reasonable
ed is that ex will exfice. There is a feeling however, that apart from the: Australian and New Zealand arming crui sers, there will be none, Consequently the wild men are emphasising the British need of capital ships by surgeering that the Minas Gerace and her sisters tow being constructed may not be for Brazil at all, but for Germany. The view is also expressed that the British Government ought not to allow the contracts for the Argentine ships to go to Germany. How it can prevent the Argentins people placing their orders where they choose is not easy
to see.

It isunderstood in official quarters that the British Government has prarisionally Approved the building, both at Chatham and Portsmouth, of works for the rolling 1567 of armour plates. The idea was first aug- gested about twelve months ago, but its execution was postponed for francial and other reasons. Even now there is a division
of opinion upon the subject among the higher officials at the Admiralty, it being contended that the scheme, if carried out, would prove unfair to contractors, while offering little, if any, advantage on the 1 score of either efficiency or economy.
