Increased Cost of Warships. The interesting point is that now Canada, for such a fleet unit 18 Australia has built, would have to pay, even in Britain, 5,159,100, instead of £4,407,151; hree years ago, as compared with even millions for three battle- lips of the latest type. The First Lord points to the higher. cost of maintaining these ships in Canada, owing to .the economic conditions prevail-

there, ing

and "estimates phat, at Canadian rates, the cost of maintenance would be £581,250,

per sunum, against 412,192, inder prevailing conditions here. Outhe whole question of manning | Mr. Churchill points out that our resources are now strained to their ntmost limits, more especially as regarda lieutenants, specialist officers (gunnery, torpedo, and navigation) and the numerous killed professional ratings which cannot be improvised or obtained except by years of careful training. His arguments undoubtedly force ore to the conviction that the most practical and economic course for Canada to pursue at the present time, at all events-is to make a contribution in ships, leaving the manning and other provisions to the Imperial authorities. But, of course, the home country cannot diotate to any of the Dominiona over the seas the policy they should pursue in this matter.

Chinese Judicial Reform.

It is but due to the Republican Government to say however, that it has shown an earnest desire for the reform of the judicial admin- istration of the Country and with that object in view a largo number of students have been sent abroad to study the legal toms of the West. In the "China Year Book" the comment is made that "the new judicis. system provides for officials with purely judicial powers (as opposed to the old system under which officials combined judicial with administrative functions), but any attempt to

Well Done, Montenegro." The whole responsibility for the siege of Skutari rested, with Turkey, not with Montenegro, Had pressure been brought to bear on Turkey the siege could easily have been brought to an end long ago. Something other than humanitarian motives prompted Austria to interfere with Montenegro's freedom of sotion during the latter stages of the siege. When Montenegro comes to bargain about the frontier we may realise the real meaning underlying the harrowing tales, yet to be proved, which emanated from Vierns about the sufferings of non-combatants, the killing of nuns by exploding shells, and the forcible conversions of Albaniae. The stories bear a suspicious resemblance to the anti-Servisn reports from the same quarter in connection with the Prochaska incident, reporta which were ister proved to be absolutely without foundation. When, it is written the history of the Balkan war will cast some peculiar side- lights on the parts played by the Powers.
