A Cruiser Instead. "If any serious quarrel should arise between the Chion and Italy for instance the representations that the Ambassador of the Union will be expected to mike will have no weight whatever in so far as he is the representative of South Africa. Thus the truth is that if the strength of Great Britain was not at the back of South Africa, a South African ambassador in Italy foreign country might protest till or the United States or any other
he was speechless with hoarseness but no notice whatever would be taken of him. It would be much better advertising if South Africa were to do something to make her stature as a nation correspond with her theoretic national status.
"The money spent on these am- hassadors would be far better spent in helping to pay for the mainten- ance of a single British cruiser. As contribution to the cost of the British Navy it would be a mert

PORTSMOUTH NAVAL COLLEGE.
WHERE NELSON'S CAPTAINS
WERE TRAINED.
This year dhe Naval College at Portsmouth-the parent of all our naval educational establishments- ceiturates its licentenary. Built In 1729 as the Naval Academy, this fine old structure has an interest- ing history. Although there is no record that Nelson himself ever attended it, most of his captains are believed to have received their carly training in the building, as have many of our best known sailors of later era. The King was student at the college in his sub lieutenant days
he will be in an even stronger posi tion and will probably give General Smuts and the South African Party no quarter.
