British and German Naval Losses Compared.

In order to arrive at as true a comparison as pos sible, taking into consideration the degree of obsolescence, we kave summed up the present value of the warshipú lost by the British and German navies deducting from their coat when new a per centage per annum for depre socording to the various types and to the practice of the two Powers in their system of accounting.

From this we find that, including even the Bulwark, which was lost through misadven. ture, and not by war, the British warship losses since the beginning of August represent a value, lesa depreciation, of just
