Those in Jellalabad who had acknowledged Nasarullah feared for the safety of their families in Kalmi, who might be made to suffer for their conduet by the Kabul Amir. But nothing great eventuated.

NAZURULLAH ABDICATES. Nazarullah who saw exactly. how things were, abdicated in favour of his nephew and was placed in close confinement, as were also the two elder brothers of Amanullah Khan, the present Amir: There were also arrested tha:commander-in-chief and his family and all his kin, who were taken to Kabul ' ̈in chains from Jellabad.

The chains were exceedingly heavy, weighing well over a hundred pounds, and the horses had a severe task in draw. ing up-hill these prisoners and their heavy chains. About half- wap, however, whether out of compassion for the prisoners or the ponies is not known. the chains were ordered to be removed. The command- er-in-chief and his family are now in confinement and a new man has been appointed to the office by Amanullah Khan.

The new Amir is a young men. of about 26 or 27. He has never been outside Afghanistan. He was educated at home by a pri- vate tutor, has an active brain and a keen intelligence, and given good Ministers should give Afghanistan many years of peace and prosperity,

The cames of the great Eliza- bethan

dogs-Frobisher. Drake, Hawkins, and other heroes who fought the 'Dons on the Spanish Main and nearer home-- are to be perpetuated in the names of a new type of light craiser specially designed for foreiga service more especially service within the tropics, such as the East Indies Station. China Station, and the Cape Station. This type of cruiser has a dis- placement of about 4.500 tons, a -peed of 25 knots per hour, and Acarries an armament of 6-inch guns, products of the late war. Cruisers of this class, when completed, will be able to double the patrol work done in pre-war days by the old crocks and lame, ducks, which were deemed good enough to carry the White Ensign into the seas beyond.

:

Of the much talked-of "C" cruisers, with which the British Navy is now so well equipped. nothing but praise of them is heard.

They are swift. well armed, and economical in work. ing and they have earned the. praise of Admiral, Sims, United States Navy, who compares them favourably with the more pre tentious and costly light cruisers which are being built for the Navy of his own country. «
