in this list it will be keen that Germany is an easy fire, having lunched considerably more than double the tannage that England has: the first occasion on which the German shipyards have turned-out-more-than the English. A sign of the times is an article in the Deutsche Revue by the Vice-Admiral Edgard von Ahlefeld, the well-known naval critic and publicist, who declares that English naval superiority is merely numerical, and by no means so formidable as it appears on paperi that aforetimes her preponderance rested solely on this fact, but that she has now committed the grave imprudence of embarking on a Dreadnought era in which she can be copied and equalled by other Powers. She must, in fact, now construct nothing but Dread+ noughts, pad that all her other skips will very aon bet noddi. Consequently her absolute superiority, is pass.og into the re- Jative stage.
