THE BRITISH NAVY,

AFTER TEN EVENTFUL YEARS.

By H. C. Ferraby.J London-Nearly ten years peaco have brought about grent changes in the Navy. There have been, as every one has heard, ex traordinary changes in the material. Those, however, are often written about. Equally vital changes, equally revolutionary changes, have taken place in the human element which manages and uses the material.

The men of the Navy, however, both among officers and ratings, are silent about themselves. The result is that the nation at large. has no conception of the character of the new generation of seafarers to whom ita destinies and its de- fence are committed.

I have been privileged for near- ly a quarter of a century to know the Navy from the Inside, and for the past few weeks I have been livi ing with the Navy on manœuvres. I have been watching the younger generation at work, learning, all I can about ita views, its rátions, and its temporament. And I want to present; as clearly and accurate- ly as I can, a series of pen pic-i tures of the human element of the Mtor Vessel Navy ten years after the war.
