Mediterranean Forces Compared

This odd-looking. picture shows the Suez canal, owned partially by Great Britain, as seen from the air. The canal is now the seeno of great activity as Italian troop and supply ships dally pass through it en route for the Ethiopian front. It is expected that if league sanctions against Italy are ineffective the next move will be to attempt to close the canal to Italy, thereby cutting off her troops' in Africa from the homeland.

He is Paul Kern, who was wounded in the head by a bullet in 1915.

The Italo-Abyssinian dispute has led to a great concentration of naval forces in the Mediter- ranean and the Red Sea. A great portion of the French Navy is in Mediterranean waters, and the British Mediter- ranean Flest has been largely reinforced during the past few weeks. These reinforcements have been undertaken as precau- tionary measures, and the Anglo- French naval forces in the Mediterranean are strong enough to cope with any even- tuality.

The following table shows the number of ships of the various categories now in Mediterranean or Red Sea waters. The British gures have been compiled from the arrivals of ships reported by the Admiralty; the French figures from # statement of Mediter- ranean strength published in a Paris newspaper; and the Italian figures from the official Return of Fleets:
