It has been finally decided that the ring for the fight be eighteen feet, which is interpreted in some quarters as meaning that Carpentier will take the offensive.

CARGO PILFERING.

London, July 1.

The second interim "report" of the Pilferage Committee con- demns Customs issuing bills of lading with goods received for shipment as this facilitates pilferage and urges shipowners not to issue a "shipped" bill of lading until the goods are aboard the steamer. The report says that, owing to lack of support, the Lon don police seheme for supervision of cargoes is about to be with drawn from certain docks, chiefly, used by lines UBCOM- trolled in London, but it is understood the police authorities are considering the extension of the London special dock police. The scheme for the whole river will cost 250,000 annually. The report recommends shipowners to keep in touch with the Department of Overseas Trade and its commercial secretaries abroad who have already rendered valuable assistance in connection with pilferage.

pared with the Royal Sovereign, was 10 ft. wider, no that it would) seem as if the German had sp preciated the benefit of greater. beam, but had availed themselves of it without adopting a bolge form of construction. There is no doubt that the German ships withstood a great deal of damage without sinking, and that they wers attacked by both guns and torpedoes very severaly

Sir Philip Watts and Sir West- cort Abell have recently contri- buted to this discussion in The Times, and both have called atten tion to the necessity for the provision of sufficient beam to en- sure adequate stability sboold the side protection be defeated, and both are of opinion that the best way to ensure this stability as well as to oblain the protection by the best available construction of the side is a matter which de- serves the most careful conside- ration. Sir John Biles has also contributed to The Times discus sion without entering into the relative merits of the bulge or Įvertical side. He has followed up the views expressed by him at the Institution of Naval Archi. tects, and has reminded the authorities "That a policy adopt- ed deliberately to void criticism is likely to be harmful to the country and to the science of ¡naval design as well as to those who practice it,” and he urges that the design of the new British capital ships may well be referred to a suitable committee for con- sideration, to the satisfaction of ali concerned.

Nearly all that can be said for and against the bulges in public' discussion has been said and it is not easy without more detailed information, such as could be placed before a competentcommit- tee, to reach any reliable conclu tion. The bulges undoubtedly wore satisfactory way of adding to the stability of existing ships, whose stability was deficient. The bulges, also keep the point at which the torpedo exploried further away from the vitals of the ship. Whether this is the best way to give the ship the necessary stability and protection aeems to us to be sufficiently in dispute to necessitate a thorough investigation of the question by a competent and independent com- mittee. The protection of our battleships from torpedo aftack Lis of vital importance so long as we rely on these battleships for our naval defence. Sir Philip Watts thinks that we should go farther than we have done and that portable shields should be carried. Undoubtedly, if they can be successfully carried they willaff rd another and a powerful line of defence. The matter is brisling with intricate technical- ties, but no harm can be done) by, and good fa likely to follow, a thorough investigation. .Without

doubt such an investigation can only be made by considering the| whole designs of our recent battleships, and a committee which could do this would have to be similar in character to Lord Dufferin's Commitine of 1870 ́acd} Lord Fisher's of 1905 on Warship Design Engineering.
