THE BRITISH NAVY.
For the pact month our attention haa been forcibly fixed on the Navy and the splendid work done in the first hours of Napier's ghastly experience by the men of the Veronica backed up later by those from other warships. Now I don't think that it is sufficiently well known that it is the purpose of the, Navy League to endeavour to so mould public opinion and arouse public enthusiasm that our politicians may be continually reminded of their need to give the Navy not only moral support but to liberally allocate from time to time money for its maintenance and renewal. Now I am sure that the public would like in some way, other than merely cheering, to show their appreciation of men who, somehow, are always on the spot when trouble occurs. The local branches of the Navy League, in addition to the main objects quoted above, arrange entertainments for the noncommissioned officers and men when their fihip« are in port so as to give them a taste of horn* and the general public could best help bv joining up with the Navv League. _ _ GEO. F. HENRY.
