If in the present war Great Britain has utilised a very valu. able lesson taught by Japan in the censorship of news, it might also take another Isson, from China this time, in the suppres sion of rumour mongers. Daring the revolation in Chios the authorities epared no effort in ferreting out and severely pun- ishing those whom they deemed guilty of disturbing the minds of the people." During the past week Hongkong has been a happy hunting ground for the scare- moliger. The absence of news of the doings of the British land and sea forces has made the business of rumour manufacture and circulation comparatively easy and there is reason to believe, that, in consequence of stories": that have been assiduously spread and that have grown in the tol ling, many of the Ohinese have

The War..
The announcement made on the authority of the Official Press Barean in London that with the German cruisers Goeben and Breslau interned in the Dar danelles, the safety of trade is, ala ost entirely assured is eminent- ly satisfactory rending. Later newa, however, shows the position with regard to these cruisers to be not quite so Batisfactory as the original message represented, for.. while it is confirmed that the Goeben and the Breslau have entered the Dardanelles they are ignoring the neutrality of Turkey as well as the rule of War that s warship of the belligerent Powere seeking refuge in a neutral port shall dismantle her guns and remain interned till the end of the War. The Dardanelles are supposed to be strongly fortified by Turkey, whose duty it is to insist on the observance of the rules of War by these German cruisers, and-ber. failure to do so must be regarded as amounting to an act of hostility towards Great Britain, France and Russia. We may therefore soon expect to learn that Russia has sent a squadron of ber Black Ses fleet. into the Dardanelles to meet these two German shipe. With the great German flat bottled up in

Submarine V, Battleships. Professor bir John H. Bilsa, LL.D., D.Sc., in Engineering, says that it is generally assomed that if the submarine could get within striking distance, the battleship must be destroyed. The advent of the spar torpedo and that of the almost-invisible small torpedo- boat was heralded in the same terms. Some have lived to learn the limitations of these cheap methods of destruction, and before too. rapidly breaking ap-cur batile- ships and building no more of them, it may be well to consider what, if any, doforce" can be given to these poor helpless ships: We are told that the Navy exists to keep the command of the sea, and that command of the sea is necessary for its freedom. To keep the command it is desirab -some say necessary to dis cover and destroy the enemy forces. Battleships, oruisers, destroyers, aubmarines, must all
