The Revolution of 1917 and the chastic f conditions which followed, culminating! in the Krobatade revolt in the winter of 1921, transformed the whole battle fleet into n heap of, scrap iron." Under Trotsky's impulse the work of reconstruc tion started in 1922. Sovietism was swept out and officers of the old Imperial ser- vice were allowed to maintain theix authority. As a result something like a Hect able to go to sea was again, created. When the ice broke up in the Gulf of Fin. land in the Spring of last year Trotsky was able to report to his colleagues that two battleships, the Marut and the Paris Commune, had been made seaworthy. These are the old Sconstopol and fefrightest open-air l'emperature on Sist pelnek, of 93,000 tons each, completed

Their 49,000 h.p. turbines pro- HONGKONG TIDE TABLE. duced a trial speed of over 23 knots, but at present the speed of these ships is re- ported to be not more than 13 knots This is said especially of the Petropar- bensk, which was badly damaged in the British Naval raid on Kronstadt in 1910. The 12 12in guns carried by these ships makes them, dangerous opponents to any; { thing in the shape of artillery by land or sea which other Baltic States can use.) Fortunately, the results of this summer's 50. practice show that in consequence of in- sufficient training of the crews and of the unsatisfactory state of the mare deli! cate mechanisin, the gunnery results are Wed. far below the European average.
Of ernisers which are seaworthy there | Thur. are said to be four (live according to some reports), but of these, the only im-) portant ship is the lara Zetkin, of Batur. 7.m.9 9,000 tons, with a speed of nearly 30 knots and an armanient of 13 in. guns. San. Of the destroyers toil burning) of the famour Vognek type ten have been re placed on the active list, but it is doubt- ful if they have anything like their
marines of the Kugaur type. Their eff ciency is more than doubtful. With old torpedo-boats, gun-boats, training-ships, and trawlers the Baltic fleet musters probably something like a hundred on- signs. Torpedo boats are also maintain. ed on Lakes Ladaga and Onega for the protection of the Petrograd front against an attack through Karelia, and perhaps also to hold the Finnish territory at the head of Lake Ladoga under the meuaco of a landing by Red troops.

NEW CONSTRUCTION, The programme. for new construction.: in the next five years provides "for (but it is not said that this can be carried but) four light cruisers, ten large des- troyers and 15 submarines. The build. ing of battleships and armoured cruisers is not proposed. The shipyards at pre- sent would not be able to carry out the work, and in addition the strategic posi tion in the Gulf of Finland is auth that large warships can have only a limited field of action. The islands at the en- trance to the gulf and the skerries along its northern shore, are in the hands of Finland and Eathonia. "Large forens cannot leave the Gulf without being dis- copred. and the danger from miles is so great that only Smaller und very speedy ships could be used.
In the Black Sea the Red Fleet is about to receive addition by the return of the so-called Wruugel eet, interned by the French in Bizerta in 1920. Among these vessels are the battleship altunder II. and the cruiser Kagal. At present the only modern unit in the Black Sea is the cruiser ovietskaja Ukraine · (ex) Nuchimow), laid down in 1915 and now nearly ready to take the sea. Its dia- placement is about 5,000 tons, "speed 32 knots, armament 10 5.1in, guns. If the Bolshevists are able to
rescue
the
Aleander III. from the rust which has been eating into that ship all these years. at Bizerta they will dispose of a unit which may be dangerous to my other State in the Black Sea.
its
In the Pacific Ocean nothing remains
cf
of the old aquadron, and the Soviet Gov- ernment is incapable even of protecting fisheries against the attacks Japanese hitibusters, who settle with im punity all along the endless const, of Eastern Siberia. In the Arctic Ocean, at Murinarsk, there are a few ships of no military value, which pretend that they are protecting Russian fishermen, against British and Norwegian trawlers. The Caspian flotilla is perhaps the only one where thanks to the arrival by the Folga of destroyers from the Baltic, the force remains, at the old level of eff ciency.
་
On the whole, the Red fleet is not as present a danger to any fleet worthy of the name. The ships are mostly old, the officers are too few and not of the best, there is a great jack of trained special- ists, and gunnery and navigation are at a low level. But there are signs of a development of the movement towards improvement. Yet the real power of the Red Beet is the support it can give to) the revolutionary outbreaks prepared and, directed by, the Communist Inter- national in the States bordering on Soviet Rusia. Like the Red Army, the Red Fleet is employed by the Inter- national to back its attempts to subvert democratic Governments. The Army and. the Fleet must be ready to follow the Communist with his bomb and the Com missar with his propaganda, fund.
