THE SUBMARINE AND THE PIRATES."
BRITISH COMMENT ON
ACTIÓN.
I gathered in conversation with naval men, writes the London car- respondent aú the Manchester Guardian, that the brilliant little Achievement by Submarine L.4 near Hong Kong was the sequel to a clever bit of staff work by our naval authorities in China. The aubmarine is believed to have been lying in wait in Bias Bay the notorious pirates' nest some 43 miles north-east of Hong Kong- for just auch an opportunity as occurred. Being well in the lee of the land, her low-lying, grey- painted hull would be almost in- visible in the dusk, and the pirates who were bringing the steamer Irene in to be looted can have had no suspicion of the submarine's presence.
Irrespective of the fine seaman- ship and coolness displayed," the after
of some importance in it- self. It is the first time for many months that Bins Bay pirates, have Leen caught in the act, and the sharp lessen they have just received may have a salutary effect.
The officers and men serving in the twelve boats which comprise the Fourth Submarine Flotilli at- tached to the China Squadron have no easy life. While the L. süb marines are excellent boats of their kind they were not designed for service overseas which entails cruising in tropical latitudes. At times, therefore, these on board undergo severe hardship and dia comfurt, for even in a 900-ton sub-

AMERICA AND HER NAVY,
COMPLAINT OF its INADEQUACY. REPLY TO "IMPUTATION ON
ENGLAND.""
Writing upon Sea Power and American Destiny," Capt. R. G. Gatewood, of the United States of Naval Constructors, Corps
Our Navy is not being Bays: maintained at Treaty atrength in accordance with the 3-5-3 ratis, This is admitted officially, and 1 Say it without fear of contradic tion."
The question is only of interest to this country in consequence of the implied reproach which it con-
veys.
If the American Navy is not. up to the Washington standard, then it naturally follows that the British Navy 'must be ahead of it. Yet the British Admiralty has been most punctilions in its observance of every condition of the Washing ton Treaty.
Frankly, if the United States has fallen behind, it is not on account of anything in the nature of com.. petition on, the part of Great Britain. We deferred the resump- tion of cruiser building after the Armistice until the Board of Ad- miralty addressed a serious warn
the Cabinet upon the ing to seriousness of further delay. We refrained from destroyer and sub- marine construction until our posi tion in regard to these unite had grown relatively worse than it has been for many years past.

The Tjileboet was badly damaged on that occasion, and being tightly wedged between the rocks, salvage work was rendered difficult by bad weather setting in at the critical
time.
Ultimately the ship was cut in two, some ten feet forward of the bridge, by oxy-acetylene and blast ing. The forward part was left on the rocks, but the after part was salvaged with success

tic it is regarded with some astonishment, since parity is ek viously conceded by a 5-3 ratio. Why, then, this clamour for a right which already exista? If it is only intended as domestic pro- paganda, it has the questionable merit of being based upon the im- plication that Great Britain has stolen a march upori the Washing- ton Agreement. If the United States really feels the necessity to be fully equal in naval strength to ourselves, then all she had to do is to build.
