Dealing with Soine Features of Ger- man Warship Construction," Sir Eustaco said that since the war there had been | an opportunity of examining some of the recent productions of the German cou structors, and the view previously held had been confirmed that during the war Great Britain led the way, not only in the personnel, but also in the naval matériel. There were a few points, no doubt, in which the Germans excelled. SATURDAYS They had got ahead of us in developing Diesel engines, especially as adapted to submarines and had produced engines with cylinders developing 300 power, against our standard engines which only developed 100 h.p. In spite, however, of this handicap, we had sub marines which excelled those of the Ger. mans both in speed and in armament. But the outstanding impression conveyed by a comparison of British and German battle-cruiser designs in that the former were built for attack, as they are superior in calibre of heavy guns, in speed, and ahead fire, while the latter were built for defence and a retiring action, as rela tively more weight has been given to pro- tection than armament, and up to the Derflinger the heavy guns develop a maximum ire aft. It is interesting to record this, as it shows that the naval strategists of both nations correctly fore-

Making a comparison of the battleship designs, it is shown in the particulars of the German ships that they generally followed in our wake. In the arrange- ment of the armament they also generally followed our lead, and in the main fen tures it is difficult to discover any point of superiority in the German designs,

DMMUNITY FROM TORPEDO ATTACK With exception, perhaps, the fire, no modern capital ship of either side of date later than Dreadnought was sunk in the whole war by torpedo a fact which should be kept in mind by those who talk about the yulnerability of modern capital ships to under-water attack. As regards torpedo erfl. a careful investigation shows that the Germans generally fallow." ed the British practice in size, foereased. speed, and heavier armament. They paid great attention to reductions of weight, but there is no question that their boats had not the sea-keeping qualities of the British contemporary craft.

Coming to the question of submarines, Sir Eustace brought out the interesting fact that the Germans never produced a boas of the speed of our K boats, nor did they adopt steam for the surface speed as we were obliged to do in our K vessels to get the high power required. During the last ten months of the war the num Germans only slightly exceeded the num ber lost, 80 in fact, the rate of their des truction was steadily and rapidly in- creasing compared to the rate of pro- duction. This fact should be considered carefully by those who advocate the adoption of submarines to the exclusion. of other types of warship. "To sum up." he concluded, it is quite evident that in all their Inter designs the primary object held in view in the design of the German submarines was the attacking of commerce and not so much the use of the submarines against warships; in fact, the longer the war went on the more it became evident that the submarine, whilst admirably adapted for the destruction of more or less defenceless merchant ships, became, as anti-submarine measures pro gressed, less and less effective against, naval ships, and more and more Bable to destruction.

L

In the discussion which followed Admiral Tudor (Board of Admiralty) ob served that our torpedo boats had aldays. been in advance of the Germans, and he

thaught we had reached the limit of

useful eubmarines. About twenty years advance in peace construction was made in three years of the war, and the country was to be congratulated on having Sir Eustace d'Eyncourt.at.the head of con struction.

Admiral Sir Alfred Chatflek said this post mortem examination enabled them to come to the conclusion that in the designs of our ships we had little to learn from our-late fae,

Earlier in the proceedings the Duke of Northumberland was ugunimously elected president, in succession to the Earl of Durham, who bas held office for the past five years.

UNFULFILLED TRADE HÖFEB

The Duke of Northumberland, in reply, said there had been a somewhat heated controversy recently in the Presa on the subject of the futare policy of navel con- struction in which the whole future of our naval policy at sea was at stake. "We in this country," added the speaker, may pride ourselves on the fact that we have succeeded in solving sithilar prob lems in the past. If we have not always been first in inventive science we have always been pre-eminent in that greater wisdom which consists in the adaption of means to an end, which sees the good clearls before it, and with duo sense of proportion avoiding all extreme courses of action, utilises every invention of science for the attainment and mainten- ance of that object which is the end and aim of all our efforte-Great Britain's supremacy at sea In that task this in stitution may be relied upon to play as glorious a role in the future n it bas always done in the past. (Cheers.).

Aremarkable disclosure is made by Sir. Maurice Hankey-in-the-new number of the Round Table. It is that but for-the rebollion of Easter week in Dublin Mr. Lloyd George would have accompanied Lord Kitchener in May, 1010, on his fatal mission to Russia On this evi- dence, Sinn Fein may have altered, the whole history of Europe.
