To omitsending any- thing about the Santander disaster and to send a comparatively long telegram which would perhaps be best described as a' chestnut shows a sad want of dis crimination.

Ws are always being told that our This opinion dates so far back that one is warranted in coming to the concin.. sion that if the British Army and Nary are really bound for the destination in dicated they must be stopping quite s long time at all the intermediate st tions. It is true that there is and always bas been a good deal of for growling over matters military and naval. The supremacy of the British Navy, by virtue of which Britannia rules the waves, is dear to the heart of every Britisher, and the navy therefore is in his opinion always going to the doge if it falls ever. so little short of his ideal navy. He will sometimes admit, when in a good humour, that both the army and there mavy have done some fairly good work in the past, but if it is pur to him that they will possibly maintain their reputas wat tion in the future he indignantly rejects the suggestion. They are going to the dogs, and in the true Britishar's opinion they will continue to go to the dogs. How long it wall take them to get there is quite another matter. At all events the average Britisher is per- fectly entitled to indulge his natural love of growling, and long Day he growl. Dissatisfaction with the present state of things is the surest guarantee of improvement in the future. The latest growl about the navy is faintly echoed by the telegram which appears in another colum under the heading of Britain's nara! weak-
