LORD FISHER'S DREAM.
"Barring cases of congenital idiocy" says Lord Fisher in another racy contribution to the Times," the years 1902 to 1910 at the Admiralty won the war."
The instances of "congenital idiocy" which be selects are "the sinking of Cradock, the loss of the Aboukir, Cressy, and Hogue, the escape of the Goeben and Breslau. the massacre of the Pegasus at Zanzibar, the sinking of the Ger man fleet at Scapa Flow, the fail- ure to realise northern waters as the decisive theatre of the war. and the passive policy which allowed grass to grow in the coz- ridors of the Admiralty."
the
The battle-cruisers, or "New Testament" ships, he declares, were received with derision, but in spite of the fact that muddlers who dealt with them did not use them for the purposes for which they were created, so well conceived were they that they proved their value under cond- itions for which they were never intended.
TORTOISES TO CATCH HARES.
Their mission, he maintains, was totally unappreciated till the Invincible sank Von Spee. Be- fore that time "tortoises were apportioned to catch hares. Millions of tortoises can't catch a hare. The Almighty arranged the greyhound to catch the hare."
If the battle-craisers had gob bled up the Goeben and Breslaul there would have been no "Gal- lipoli, the Baltic would have been occupied, and Berlin captured by the Russians landing on
he Pomeranian coast.
The invasion would have been carried out by a great armada of 612 vessels, authorised by Mr. Lloyd George as Chancellor of the Exchequer on balf a sheet of notepaper. for landing a million of Russian soldiers 62 miles from Berlin..

"Yes! amphibian monsters were definitely fixed in thoughts-weather proof,shop proof, mine proof. torpedo proof, each holding masses of men and guns and horses and motors. ploughing their way like huge hippopotami and then crawling up that shore like. Tanks (then unknown). each casting off its marine covering and emerging like the war butterfly from the storm-proof chrysalis.
"The oil engine would have done it: that Engine which yet will revolutionise commerce and alter the whole art of sea wa I was dubbed 'an oil maniac" when I was at the Admiralty in 1885."
Seven months before the out- break of war, Lord Fisher says, he circulated a memorandum in which he printed in capital letters The submarine is the coming type of vessel for sea fighting." He was literally persecuted. he tells us, for building submarines when he was First Sea Lord, and he relates that when he returned to the Admiralty in October, 1914, "I sent for Mr. Schwab, of the Bethlehem Steel Works and he delivered a batch of submarines in five months, an unprecedented feat, as 14 months was the record till then. These 'H' type submarines built by Schwab went unconvoyed from Americe to the Dardanelles, and acted there prodigiously. Mr. Schwab should have been made a duke."
Lond Fisher claims to have discovered Scapa Flow. In 1905, he says, he saw on a chart "a" large inland land-locked sheet of water, unsurveyed and nameless. One hour later an Admiralty surveying vessel was en route there."

EARLIER TELEGRAMS, THE DOMINIONS AND LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
London, Oct. 26.
A discussion on the new status of the Dominions has been excited by a statement by Sir E. Allen in the New Zealand Parliament that an Imperial Order in Council will enable New Zealand to legislate for Samoa.. Pro- fessor Berriedale Keith in a letter to the Times" says this would be true under the old regime, but the Dominions have now acquired rights over ex-German territories from the League of Nations direct. He declared that with the disappearance of the colonialstatus pat merely Courts of New Zealand but the Judicial Com-" mmittee itself would hold that the Dominion Parliament has full authority to legislate for Samoa. Moreover in legislating for Samoa the Dominion Parliament is not subject to the Royal right of disallowance' applicable to colonial enactments and no right of appeal to the Judicial Committee exists regarding judgments in Samoan Courts or the New Zealand Court on appeals from Samoa. Pro- fessor Keith adds there are other complex problems,. whereof General Smuts appears to be conscious, involved. in the new regime. He hopes they are already occupying the most anxious consideration of the Imperial Parlia- ment for on their just solution depends the effective main- tenance of Imperial unity.
The "Mancester Guardian" in an editorial support. ing Professor Keith says it may also be pointed out that if a British Dominion is involved in a dispute with the mandatory people the decision will rest not with Britain. but the League. It adds that the importance of this change is more clearly recognised in America where the Re- publicans propose that Britain and the Dominions be restricted to one vote in the League Council in matters wherein they are involved. The "Manchester Guardian" fears this is unpopular in the Dominions and says Sir Robert Borden's recent insistence on the Canadian Par- liament's right to debate the ratification of the Peace Treaty is symptomatic of the increasingly visible deter- mination of the Dominions to assert individuality to the limits compatible with holding the Empire together. The "Manchester Guardian" concludes that if the Leagueisnot to be faced with embarrassments for which no provision is made it is essential that the new status of the Dominions be fully considered and regularised in the eyes of the world.
THE RUSSIAN FIGHTING.

London, Oct. 25.
A War Office communique reports heavy fighting on the whole of a seven hundred mile front from Tsaritzin to Kieff. The Red armies are vehemently attempting to restore the morale. of the troops concentrated on narrow frents against the important junctions of Voronej and Orel, which were captured, but the success entirely failed to stem the general progress of the South-Russians. advanced success- has Caucasian The fully on the Tsaritsin front, taking towns fifty miles north-west of Tsaritzin. 1,500 prisoners and much booty were captured. The Don army, advancing on a 120 mile front between Taaritzin and Voronej, progressed to an extreme depth of fifty-five miles, capturing the important junction of Pororino, occupying Novchigla and Shishovka and capturing 500 men, and two armoured trains. Numerous Bolshevists surrendered. The Volunteer army Oct. 23 occupied, Yelets, 230 miles south-east of Moscow. Denikin has been compelled to withdraw slight- ly south of Orel but has readvanced on the outskirts. Fighting continues. In beavy fighting east of Orel the Volunteers defeated and scattered eight enemy regiments, capturing hundreds including a Brigade Commander's Staff. Denikin is advancing successfully on Briansk.

News from Russia is still conflicting. Yudenitch's communiques of Oct, 24 and 25 state that he has advanced in the direction of Petrograd as far as Tosno and has captured three places north of Krasnoyeselo. On the other hand, the Finnish Press Bureau understands that the Bolshevists have taken Tsarskoeselo, Ligovo, Pulkovo and Pavlovsky, but this may merely be based on the Bolshevist wireless, message cabled on Oct. 25,
