The requirements of German na- val 'strategy "are very simple, for at the present time Germany can wuld produce a ske »ptic on the sub- ject if anything would.

The Germans realize, of course, that eventually their main fleet will have to fight. German' strategy consists in remaining under cover of mines and fortifications, where the Eng- lish cannot possibly reach them; laying mines far and wide, particn- larly off English Pores in channels or localities much used by English men-of-war and large vessels ; keep- ing up the spirits of the German people and spréading panic throiigh fear of meses among the civilians in England by bombardment of. un- fortified ports; - picking off, with submarines,,one by oné, the Eng- lish battles ips. - inally, when the preponderance of thé" English fleet has been reduced, and when ignor- ant,.meddlers in 'Parliament have compelled the division of the Eng- lish fleet, the plan is to make a sortie and concentrated attack on one part, of the British ay with the entire strength o rman navy, with battleships, battle erui- gers, t cruisers, destroyers, mine layers, and, if cfnditions per- mit, with submarines, Zeppelins and aeroplanes. At the same time, oe cruisers, of + present time there e Emden. t rere the a sea, prevailing confusion, paralyze Eng- lish shipping, and éut English com- munications with, their army in France. Difficulties Tremendous. The difficulties under which the British navy operates are tremen- dous. To carry out the peeenies of their strategy, which I have al- ready outlined, requires to a cer- tain extent a division of their forces. In the North Sea at the are only six hours of daylight, and heavy fogs and snowstorms prevail during a large part of the time. e tem- perature of the North.Sea is fre- quently, below zero. There is no rest night or day for the men. No man knows whether or not the next moment may be his last, whether or not in a twinkling of an eye he may be dumped into the icy depths. The repaif, supply, and coaling of this enormous fleet is a problem of great difficulty, for the forces at sea must never be seriously weakened. Strategy of High Order. Taking into consideration = facts that many eminent officers, cluding -Sir Percy Scott, ti, the. faites of 'modern ery, stated th gunne the war that the meee had made the battleship obsolete ;_ that England is.of necessity forced to ivide her fleet ; that her superiority to the Germans in dreadnoughts is only five to three; that the Germans are able to make a sortie at an moment by day or night in concen- trated force; that the English fleet is in the position of a man with his arms bound, unable to strike back, but feeling sure that the hour of vengeance will soon be nigh i that England is stil] mistress of the seas and has been able to carry out cvery part of her programme--all this seems to prove to me that English naval strategy and efficiency have been of a high order. Stronger Than Ever. 'English strategy in time of peace has provided, in spite of the peace croakers in Parliament, such large shipbuilding programme that England now occupies a stronger position relative to Germany than at the beginning' of the war, in* spite of the loss of about 3 per cent. of her total gun power. ¥n the next six months eight super dread- noughts will be added to the Eng- lish fleet, four more super dread- noughts will be finished for the French fleet, and two for Japan. If England desires these ships, the six Japanese and French ships will be turnedwover to England and manned her naval forces, an addition to the E nglish fleet of four- teen vessels of the most powerful and modern type, and equivalent in gun power and fighting strength to the first eighteen German dread- noughts. Ask Enegl- 1d to Suicide. Those amateur strategists in Eng- r) land who demand that the English , should charge. madly over mine fields to get at the Germans simply ask England to commit suicide as a nation, for time works on the side of the Allies. The situation of the Allies does not render the taking * chances necessary, but criminal; policy of watchful waiting must be pursued. When a few noncombat- ants in an unfortified town are kill- ed, the English should remember that millions upon millions are suf- fering in France, Poland, Belgium and Galicia, and give their fleet the deepest confidence and gratitude, for in the En ngish fleet, I believe, every man is doing his duty.

An Ancient Legend of the Little Lake of Canterno. An unusival occurrence that has much interested the scientific men recently happened at Fumone, Italy. The picturesque little lake of Canterno suddenly disappeared. All the water retreated into a bot- tomless pit in the middle of the lake, and Bis the whole area haa solutely d It Died ts that this same pheno- menon has occurred several times in the history of the place; the last time was about 220 years ago. At noe time the farmers had begun to ill the bed of the lake, and had brought it to a high state of culti- vation, when suddenly the water re- turned ; and as if to recompense the people 'for the loss of their crops, the fish came back also. There is an ancient legend that the lake disappears whenever its waters claim the life of a human be- ing. That was the case at the last previous disappearance of the wa- ter. On a certain Shrove Tuesday, nine young boys were drowned in Canterno Lake. Their distracted parents cursed the waters of the lake, and then a crater fifteen feet in diameter swallowed up the wa- ter with fearful and unearthly gur- gling. Fire spouted from the hole, ca from the depths. of the earth came/a mysterious, rumbling. The «numbed was. strewn. with fish, .and the 'boat which had gone 'down with the boys was swallowed up bv, the crater. UP-TO-DATE SERVICE. The comfort and well-being of the passengers who travel on the Cana- dian Pacific is always foremost in the minds of the officials of the eom- pany, and further evidence of this is to be found in the official an- nouncement made that all the cars in the Montreal-Chicago service have been equipped with an up-to- date valet service, so that you can now have your clothes brushed and pressed while you sleep. Simultane- ously with this comes the decision of he Canadian Pacific to discontinue re use of the toothpicks on the table sof the dining cars. This step has not been taken without serious consideration. Many letters of com- laint have been received in this connection, and it is pretty well known that provision of toothpicks at first-class hotels and restaurants is now considered not quite the thing. ee ae SIR EVELYN WOOD.
