Head Pains, Gout, Lassitude
Readers see for themselves that those in a position to pick and choos whether they are Royal Personages, popular celebrities, experienced doctors, nurses, mhletes, &c-without exception unhesitatingly select Phosferine as the one certain remedy for all nervous disorders. All these distinguished people positively attribute their increased energy, efficiency, or prowess, to the revitalising potency of Phosferine, and their opinion Is again confirmed by the celebrated beauty, Mrs. Una de Louth, who finds the wonderful tonic imparto such a delightful feeling of youthful vigour, that she can retain her good looks without the least trouble. Mrs. Una de Louth is deeply grateful for the inestimable service Phosferine rendered her in completely curing gouty bead pains, and so effectually dispelling the nervous depression and lassitude which endangered her exceptional beauty, that she has kindly permitted us to publish her happy experience of Phesterine for the benefit of other readers.
Quite driven away.
Mrs. Una de Louth (the beautiful and talented Society reciter, and daughter of a late well known Member of Parliament), writes: I have great pleasure in stating that your Phosterine has done more for me than all the doctors, for long standing and severe gouty pains in my head. Indeed, I have had instantaneous relief after taking only a few drops of your wonderful world-famed remedy and I would never be without it in the house again on any consideration-I treasure it among my household gods.
I always find Phosterine helps me and invigorates my system to a wonderful extent, and before, acting or reciting have never known it to fail. It is in my opinion a tonic that has marvellous and lasting effect, and all who have tried it agree with me that I do not over-rate it in the least."--8, Lansdowne Square, Hove, Sussex.--November, 2, 1908.

The only points to be noted in these figures are that the speed of the German ships has not been officially stated; and that the secondary armament of the armoured cruisers" is still a mattor for conjecture. By the analogy not only of the new German Battleships, but also by that of the Blucher, which is a fairly close approxima tion to the Von der Taan type, though on a smaller scale, items certain that the new "arm- oural cruisers" will have a powerful secondary battery. The argument to follow is not con- carmed with the emet extent of this battery; the thesis in hand is concerned with this fact that it has been pretended, in glorification of the Dreadnought type, that all nutions have copied it, whereas in sober fact the new German ships are essentially different from the Dreadnought type. The development of the argnment, necessarily involves some technicality, but as few technical terms as pos sible will be used, and every effort will be made to avoid anything which might soon obscure to uor-Service readers,
THE "DREADNOUGHT" TYPE The essential characteristics of the Dread- nought type are two, viz., high designed speed and an armament consisting exclusively of gans of the largest calibre. The chief remaining features are large size and great cost, which are the inevitable consequences of what has been described as "the all-big-gun battleship of high speed." In the Invincible type the same charac. teristics are present, but in an even greater degree, that is to say, greater sacrifiers have been made in order to attain extreme speed, and the departure from procedent involved in the nature of the armament is more marked even tlies it is in the Dreadnought herself.
THE NEW GERMAN WHIPS.
In the Nassau the horas-power is very much lower than that given to the Dreadnought, and the following comparison should be instructive:
Displacement. L.B.P. Speed. King Edward 16,350 tons 18,000 185 knots Nassau 17,760 tons 20,000 [195knots)
21 knots Dreadnought 17,900 tons. 23,000
As the horse-power in the Nassau bears about the same ratio to the ton mage as it does in the King Edward, it might at first sight seem reasonable to suppose that the speed of the two ships would be about equal, that is, that the designed speed of the German ship would be about 18.5 Enote. The dimensions of the Nassau are not available, but it can be inferred with almost absolute certainly that her form is nearer to that of the Dreadnought than to that of the King Edward, or, in other words, she is of a form of hull which is more easily driven than the relatively short broed hull. For this reason it is believed that ber spoed will be about. 19 or 19-5 knots, which is scarcely higher than that of former battleships. There has been no sacrifice A further refer In order to gain bigh speed ence will be made presently to the question whether it is desirable that battleships should

4. It is also frequently asserted that the victory of Tsushima was due to the effect of the Japanese 12-meh guns.
It was answered to these contentions:
1. That the nasumption that future naval battles will be fought entirely, or even chiefly, at long rangs is quite unjustified by any ex perienes in the past. The range at which fre will be opened will no doubt he long in the future, when conditions of weather admit of it, and it is therefore necessary that a battleship should have a proportion of long range gans Bus at extreme ranges the proportion of hits has always been so small, when compared with that attained in peace practico, that the decisivo part of the battle will take place at moderate It is range. Ships marry but little heavy gan am punition, and cannot afford to waste it. also argued that penetration of the enemy's armour is by no means as essential as it is represented to be, that a ship can be reduced to an impotent wreck-as was the Surat which bore Bojdestransky's flag at Tsushima though her armour be all but sonthed. rosult a large In order to achieve this number of hits is needed. By volume of fire the enemy is paralysed; he has no time to recover from the moral effect of one blow before another falls; with a great number of shots striking the greator effect on the personnel, which is of far

Men who argue thus in favour of a secondary armament quote a's the extreme couracy and ease in handling of the medium valibre gun, and insist also on the fact that by virtue of its very high rate of fire it can throw in a giver time a weight of metal as great as in the cast of the six inch-or greater-48 with the 9.2 inch-than the 12 inch gun can dis charge.

BUTELIOR SPEED.
Dreadnought type, which is officially claimed to be founded on the Japanese sucess at Tsushima, embodies the first in an extreme degree.
