The British navy is divided into | Home Fleet is the most powerful, of | course, while the Mediterranean Fleet is equal in power to either the French or the Italian forces. It is | no longer necessary to maintain an | Australian fleet, as the Australian ! navy is beginning to assume large propartions, having to its credit one | battle cruiser, four light .cruisers,. ] eleven destroyers, one flotilla leader, several old cruisers, and various othe { er ships. In addition to this the | light cruiser Chatham has been pre- | sented to New "Zealand and will be { avallable to the Australian forces in any time of emergency. 4 | There are both a North and a | South American cruiser squadron; i the South American force has just been depleted by the sale of two | ships to Chili. A small force of cruis- | ers is stationed off the African coast | and another cruiser squadron with | several gunboats has been ordered to the East Indies. Still another cruiser force has been ordered to the | Asiatic or China station. At various | other posts are stationed further | fighting forces and thus. Great Bri- tain could assemble quite a formid- able fleet in any quarter of the globe in a comparatively short time.' With this force to hold the ter- ritory while the Grand Fleet was be- ing mobilized and making passage to the scene of the trouble, the British have an iron grip on all the Seven Seas. Despite the daring depletions, they have enough ships laid up in re- | Berve so that when these were added | to the Grand Fleet it would outnum- ber the United States fleets combined with that of any other power. Naturally, the Atlantic or home fleet comes in for the greatest share of popular interest. Upon this fleet !| does the fate of the British Isles de- pend in the case of a "sudden, un- expected war. It consists of the five dreadnoughts of the Queen Elizabeth class and the five dreadnoughts of the Royal Sovereign class. The Queen Elizabeth is the flagship of the battle- ship force, which contains only dreadnoughts mounting eight-15-inch guns. However, about ten dread- noughts carrying 13.5-inch and 12- inch guns are n reserve for one pure Dose or another. Another surprise is evident in the fact that the Atlantic fleet will be the only one to have an active force of battle cruisers. This force is led by the Hood, flagship. With her is the Renown, which is at present on de- tached service, taking the Prince of Weles on tour. The only ship in the Atlantic fleet of any size mounting less than 15-inch guns is the battle cruiser Tiger, with main battery of eight 13.5-inch guns, commissioned during the war. Admiral Beatty's one-time fla gship, | the battle cruiser Lion, is in the re- Berve, as are the battle cruisers Prine | cess Royal and New Zealand. Both were among the mainstays of the British fleet during the war and were greatly feared by the Germans; but to-day with the German navy on the absent list it is not necessary to keep thew in full commission. Several flotillas of the new, fine, fast, light scout cruisers are agsigned to the Atlantic fleet, though the ma- Jority of them are tied down to port. The destroyer flotilla is naturally reduced, but is composed of only those ships with quite large crulsing radil, A light cruiser, the Castor, has been detailed as the fleet flotilla leader, British submarines were probably the most highly developed ships of their type in the Great War. About 8 hundred patrolled the North Sea alone. Now the submarine force has been cut to twenty-one boats with their necessary depots and auxiliar- fes. The submarine flotilla flagship is the cruiser Inconstant. . Lord Fisher believed that the air- plane had supplantéd the battleship. While it was impossible to convinee | the majority of the line officers, and | consequéntly the Admiralty, {it was clearly seen bj all that the | airplane had an important role to | play with the fleets in coming wars, aircraft carriers were inducted jie Ihe British navy, | y pne pre-dreadnought type | battleship is retained in the fleet in | the capacity of battleship for gun- | Buy Service, Ten years ago she was | ong' of the most powerful and import | ant units of the British navy. ! _ Another noticeable feature is the throwing out of the active fleets of | the Glorious class of large cruisers carrying 18-inch guns.

THE DAILY BRITI | The Atlantic or of this, | BOUGHT ENTIRE TOWN. | frente Englishman Now Owvus Milferd House, Wealthy Milford Haven, a town of consider able antiquity, im Pembrokeshire, in Wales, has just been purchased by { Major Hugh J. P. Thomas, a well- | known land owner for $1,250,000. | This big estate comprises 1,000 || houses, a lordship of three manors, | a fine castle, a mansion house and the | market tolls of the town, in addition to the finest land-locked harbor in | the world. Commercially the port is in its in- ! fancy, but with the development of | the plans and scliemes contemplated, | it may some day rival Liverpool and . Southampton in the trade from the | Americas. | The site of the town formed part | of the possessions of Sir William Hamilton who built, the mansion of Castle Hall a hundred and twenty vears ago; Castle Hall, as the home of the beautiful Emma Hamilton, was often visited by lord Nelson. The church near the haven was consecrated in 1808 and the font with the. Hamilton arms was given by Lady Hamilton. In those days the mail coach from London brought the nails for Ireland to Milford, All this district is rich in history; there's a letter in existence, from the - Earl of Pembroke to Queen Eliza. beth, dated February 11, 1592, about the necessity of fortifying Milford Haven. Back in 1485, the Earl of Rich- mond, afterwards Henry VII, landed + 't Milford Haven, on the way to his victory at Bosworth Field. Earlier still is the- period of the "riory, founded in the twelfth cen- 'ury and the Via Julia, one of the toman Roads, forms part of the nountain road to-day. So Major Thoraas has certainly made a unigue purchase when he nought Milford Haven. Grave Food Ontlook: A grave picture of the breakdown which threatens economic Europe in the near future is drawn by Sir George Paish in Ways and Means. "Already," he writes, "the é¢ono- mic price of bread here, when cal- culated in current. world prides, is 1s. 6d. per four-pound loaf. If our xchange breaks in the manner that | 10W seems to be inevitable, the price | will rise in the not distant future to | something like 23. 6d. per pounds loaf. be preserved from civilization from destruction not a moment must now be lost in Making four- | If the peaples are to | starvation &nd | the peoples aware of their great dan- | ger and in assisting them to co-oper- | ate in order to overcome it, The world must be animated by the new | spirit or perish.' "Prior to the war the nations of Europe, other than Russia and Rou- | mania, needed to import 1,000,000 | 000 bushels. to 500,000,000 bushels from Russia and Roumania and as to another 500,000,000 bushels from outside countries -- the United -States, Can- ada, Argentina, Australia and India. In the coming crop season Europe, excluding Russia and Roumania, will {need to import some 2,000,000,000 bushels of grain to reggh their pre- war level of eonsumption, while the supplies available are likely to be tbout 500,000.000 bushels. "Not only have the normal sup- plies from Russia and Roumania dis- "ppeared, but Russia now needs to 'import wheat to make good her de- ficiency; at the same time the need of the rest of Europe has doubléd. If Great Britain, with her command of shipping and greater command of re- sources, continues to meet her full requireinenis there will be very little foreign grain available for the con- tinent, "The suffering which this situation will entail if nothing is done to recti- fy it cannot fail to create revolution ary conditions and unrest in every continental country." | A Throne In the Jungle, A massive chair. made of copper, which natives believe was given by the late Queen Victoria to an Ashanti chieftain and used by hia as a throne, has been discovered in the midst of a jungle far from human habitation in-the Gold Coast Colony, West Africa.

The use of peat as a source of heat goes back beyond the historical per- fod into the ancient history of the early tribes of Northern Germany. Pliny, the Roman Raturalist, gives us possibly the first indication of the use of peat. He reports that the Teu- ~4dns on the border of the North Sea dried and burned mud, what we nbw | would call peat. In Ireland, Great Britain, Russia, Scandinivia, Ger- many, Holland, and parts of France peat has been used as a fuel since time immemorial, The peat was gut from the bog very much in the same manner as it is still being done in many parts of Europe, cut'in brick shapes,.allowed to dry 'in the wind and sun, 3 | St { Corkwood. {The total world production of cork- wood Is estimated at 396,832,000 pounds, of which 45 per cen Italy, and 20 per cent. in Algeria Tunis.
