PRESS COMMENTS.

Churchill's selection has caused widespread The Daily Telegraph" states that Mr antisfaction-among the most progressive officers.

The Morning Post" is of the opinion that the appointments generally command confidence, and mentions that Rear-Admiral Sturdes, formerly Admiral Lord Beresford's chief of staff, congmtulates Mr Churchill on speedily discovering how much there was to be done.

The Daily News" says that the changes show that Mr. Churchill is avoiding the "recognition of personal feuds in the navy. The opinion of the Chronicle" is that there is nothing in the personality of the new lords to indicate profound changes. The Morning Leader states that it is an undeniably strong step, and has the merit of packing the responsibility on the proper shoulders, those of the minister.

The "Times" thinks that the apointment ie in every way unexceptionable. It an- ticipates that the most notable departure of his policy will be the creation of a war staff.

The Daily Mail" says that Mr Church. it has given proof of good intentions and administrative ability!
