The Navy's Duty,
London, Jan. 22. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. W. C. Bridgeman, at Belfast, said the standard of naval eff ciency now set was one below which Britain could not possibly afford to go, and it was a modest standard.
Letting Them Know,
London, Jan. 23. Professor Soothill has written an article to the Sunday Times on work done in and for China by British effort, "in view," as he puts it, "of the disheartening ignorance and misunderstanding existing among the people of Bri- tain" on the subject. The Pro- fessor first pays tribute to the enterprise and honour of British traders, whose development of
commerce China's foreign

than any other interests.

The Maintenance of Fease.
Rugby, Jan. 22. Speaking at Belfast, Mr. Walter Bridgeman referred to the situa- tion in China as it affected the British Navy. He said:
