GETTING ON WITH THE BIG SHIPS.

Immediate Needs of the Navy,

Expert opinion (says a naval, correspondent of the Evening Standardy is strongly against further delay in the construction of post Jutland ships. The pro- gramme can be carried out gradually and steadily, without! offering provocation or causing alarm to any Powers; and mean- while diplomacy can play its part with less embarrassment than would be the case if provision for the future WOT& altogether neglected.

Some people talk as if a Navy wore a mere collection of ships, and that one ship is very much the same as another. But the Navy is a living entity, dependent for its efficiency on many factors.

It must have enough homog aneous capital ships for its high command to be perfect in its business; if we take the analogy of the Army, and consider the impossibility of a general learning war on the large scale with a few | odd brigades, we shall have some conception of this side of the

matter.

The Navy must also be possess- ed of the highest moral, and moral is an elusive thing, dependent in no small degree on the seaman's confidence in the material bo is handling.

THE DETERMINING FACTOR. Now it is a commion assertion | *** that the Battle of Jutland reveal- ed corlain deficiencies in the then oxisting type of capital ships. These deficiences were due to no fault of the designers, who could only have in mind gannery con- ditions as they subsisted at the time of construction.

These deficiencies ather Admir alties have sought to remedy in their new construction, and it is vital that this country should be at least possessed of material equal to that of other Powers.

"There has been much can- troversy of late as to the utility of the capital ship, and much assertion, that its day has gone. Our own experts m common with the experts of other l'owers, hold the exact contrary.

The impression given by the success, up to a point of the Ger- man submarines is regarded as misleading. The completely future of the submarine, in view

of the more recent means of deal: ing with it, is believed to be limit- ed while the capital ship is ox- pected to be more than ever the deterinining factor in nav warfare.
