A cruiser of the same ago in an ancient joks, in our own navy-the most up-to-date in the worl! so far as materialie concerned-no definite perind for obsolescence is laid down. A ship is scrapped.as soon us it' is no longer considered wit-worthy even though it may be only a dozen years old. As a mustér of fact all our batleships laid dows before 194 have already been put in a special reserve" antecedent to the scrapheap, while about fifteda years is the extreme limit of age allowed to any cruiser. In face of this the German proposal to reduce the age of their battleships from twenty-five to twenty years and to leave at twenty for the cruften is a very mild measure, indeed. It includes in the nominál fighting sirength of the German cavy many ships that In ours would not be considered worth the paint that is wasted on them,
