retiring from a position in which no officer of foreign birth is ever likely to be placed again, we can all sympathise and share the regret handsomely express ed at the time by Mr. CHURCHILL, at the loss, in a time of great national crisis, of the services of a Naval Expert to whom the British Navy is said to owe much of its present-day efficiency. But the return of Lord FISHER to the Admiralty gave the Empire every confidence that the efficiency of our first line of defenet would not suffer by the change and his advent at the Admiralty marked at once important changes of policy. We do not forget that Lord FIER's previous traure of the office of First Seal Lord did not give unanimous satisfaction. He was, whether rightly or wrongly it is not the moment noir to consider, doseribed: by advocates of naval expansion as "the tool of the Liberal and Little Englund Party" and his famous Guildhall speech in 1007 when he cast ridicule on the talk of possible invasion and advised the people to sleep quietly in their beds," has since been frequently, roalled with much bitterness of feeling by the advo | Dates of a "big navy," the necessity for which the war has abundantly demons trated.
