URGENT NEED OF CRUISERS

In this article a Naval Cor- respondent describes the de plorable state into which our naval defences have fallen, and outlines the steps which "should be taken without delay In view of German naval-re- armament.

After the repeated shocks which have been delivered by Germany during the past weeks, and which culminated with the Intelligence that Germany was building aub- marines in defiance of Article 181 of the Treaty of Versailion, the whole of the British Empire must be heartened by the statement of the Prime Minister in the House of Commons of recent date, that Britain woud arm to meet emer- gencies.

But, amid relief, there must still be an element of uneasiness.

The position is bad in all three arms of defence. It is, however, far worse with regard to our naval forces tan in either of the two other arms. This is not to decry the importance of these arms, but the fact that it takes years la bulld up naval strength-where air nnd military strength can be built up in a matter of months-must be It in for this renson that the naval needs of the British Empire must be considered the must urgent and the most vital, Dinarmament "gestures" and treaties have reduced our Navy to little more than a collection of obsolete ships leavened with an eleinent of new construction.

PRAYERS ANSWERED

COINCIDENCES LEAD TO ARREST

Felping, May 7, A rich land-owner had been kid- napped recently. After the gang had mulcted the family of $10,000 ransom, they removed the evidence of their crime by simply burying the old man alive. At least the police had reason to believe it but could not clinch the case until they had located the body.

Returning from n case in a near- by town one day, a Chinese detectivo happened to see a snake in the path. Suddenly inspired, he dropped to his knees and prayed:

"If old Mr. Li is dead, may his spirit enter this snake and guide me to the spot where his body in Luried." and the detective, necord- ing to the venacular press.

In face of the announcement that Germany is even now building sub- marines, our anti-submarine forces are utterly inadequate. Some 60 per cent, of our destroyer strength to-day is made up of old ships which are more or less worn out.
