I was asked in the sammer of 1398 to conter buts to the Engineering Magazine, a paper dealing with the various factors which infnenes sea power at the end of the nineteenth century. I there came to the conclusion that all the most important material factors may be grouped in der the heading of speed and mobility. The prime objects to be emat by those anxious for the material welfare and efficiency of the nays in the future are necording to my view, rapid manufacture and construction of ships ongines and guns; ships of high speal and coat sadurance; and quick working guns. To these elements of naval mobility must be added: fast collection, collection, and dissemination of in

There is at prevent much room for reform in mest of these directions; and it erems to me that English naval writers, have now an oppor- tanity of doing good work by keeping the public mind alive to the vital signi fanen of this group of factors. We have unrivalled manufacturing facilities; and, while Finaca, America and Germany have lately done some sinart hits of construction, we are still abest of the rest of the world in our ability to build ships and make guns with rapidity. I do not, therefore, question the security of our position so far as these matters are concerned, though I would habuit that we do not always make proper use of our adeantages, and that, to cite an saumple, the repeated and, so far as I can learn, unpenalised delays in the delivery of certain torpedo boat destroyers ordered long ago Indicate that perhaps the Admiralty does not: attack sufficient importance to the point, But I do serionely question whether we attach its due sakte to the matter of high speed in ships, Saperior spoed is, as it has always been, the cornerstone of naval strategy; and it is now, na it never was before, the very basis of naval tastics also.
