LONDON, December 5th. There is reason to believe that the Admiralty in particular is by no means fully convinced that the beam system of wireless will be of any but very restricted military use in time of war. The original claim of secrecy cannot be sustained in view of the extent to which the "beam is gradually, so to speak, "splayed out" until, at the far end of a very long range, reception is possible over an interval of. |- perhaps, hundreds of miles.

Lieutenant-Colonel Richmond then denit with the design side of airship in relation to these meteorological conditions. said that there were authentic cases of a current of electricity passing through an airship and fusing a girder, owing. of course, to a concentration of current not large enough to carry the charge. The fusing occurred at the pose where the cross section of the girders was small, and the obvious protection seemed to be to provide enough metal to carry the current nt the most likely points of entrance and discharge. He agrend that there should be no points. to encourage lightning to enter al air shop, and mentioned that it conversation with Zeppelin pilots he was given per- sonal experiences.

FRANCE'S NAVY.
FATAL HOLIDAY" OF WAR YEARS.
PAs, December 2nd.
1. de Chappedelhine. Vice-President of one of the Commissions of the Chamber, in, a report punished to-day, draws at tention to what is considered to be the deplorable weakness of the French Navy caused by the cessation of <gastruction during the war years. Tables compiled by M. le chappedelaane showed that dur- Jag the period 1914 to 1992 France added 31 units to her Fleet to wit, our des troyers and submarines Since 194 the rate of construction had increased, pot, nevertheless, measuring ships. of all classes
asses laid down since 1914 on tonnage, France hus lutched, or has in construction, 107 units with a tennage jur 175.300, whereas the corresponding tor England would be 310 units, toul tonnage 1 1,907,948 and for Laited States 414 units, representing
bgures
just
under'a million tons.
31. de Chappedelaine states, as un'in- stance of what he calls the fatal naval holiday of the war years that the French Mediterranean squadron possesses at the present time, apart from six small Japanese destroyers bought during the war, only twelve destroyers, all launched in 1013; whereas the Italian Mediterranean Fleet has 20 destroyt all of a later date. He concludes: is not thankful to be obliged to ask what has become of the real power of the French Navy after the war years, during which the ships in service were worn to the bone, and Lo effort was made to replace them."! He admits; however, that the Naval Bills of the past three years have improved to an extent what the considers a very gtave situation.
