On June 21, the following letter from Lord Charles Beresford was published ma Londen newspaper

*June 10, 190L
It would be most improper and prejudicial MY DEAR ———, to disciplino if I were to give you details as to why I am so extremely anxious when consider. ing the want of strength and the want of proper war organisation of the British Fleet in the Mediterranean.
I have communicated my views in as strong and clear Anglo-Saxon language as I can ean- rasud to properly constituted authorities.
My duty and business out here as second in command are simply to oboy any orders that I may receive, to the level best of my ability, and not to the offer any criticism which might be some public.
"Yours very sincerely,
"CHARLES BERESFORD." The words printed in-italics confirm the facts printed in the Message from the Mediterranean. To the people of the United Kingdom, and the Empire it is a matter of supreme indifference whether this letter was printed with or with out the knowledge and consent of Lord Charles Beresfond. The only point that concerns the wont Department which has pleaded guilty to nation as a whole, as apart from the Govern neglect of the Mediterranean Fleet, is whether Lord Charles Beresford's statement is true. Since the speeches of the Secretary to the Admiralty and the First Lord of the Admiralty in the two Houses of Parliament aloit that the Fleet is unready for war, there is no longer any question in debate as to whether the- alleged weakness of the Mediterranean Fleet is well founded. The fact is admitted. All that I will permit myself to say on this subject is that, believing the country to be in danger, I senapted the responsibility of publishing & letter the origin of which the Cabinet has prudently abstained from investigating. Sir Harry Bawson, with greater authority and no Charles Beresford a year earlier, less publicity, had said the same thing as Lort

It is also a mistake to suppose that the most ardent Navy Languer believes that apathy reigns at the Admiralty.
