INTERESTING DISPLAY OF
SEAMANSHIP.
Seamon the world over are almost unanimously agreed that training in sail in essential to the production of good seamen, even though they may never be called upon to handla anything but steamships. A number of countries maintain sailing ships for the training of their future ships' offleurs, while it is even now being hetly debated in England as to whether the Royal Navy should or should not build and run a snil ing ship in which to train naval officers.
The policy of reverting to sail for the training of cadets is one to which the Japanese Government has definitely committed itself, as wit ness, the arrival in port but a few days ago of the fine four masted auxillary barque Kaio Maru, carry- ing on board 79 endets for the Japanese merchant servicë,

A vivid and oxciting account of the experience of a German chant in Morocco during the war.
