FOREIGN DREADNOUGHTS
» BUILT IN BRITISH YARDS. Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, August 22. (Received August 23, at 10.5 a.m.) The 'Pall Mall Gazette,' commenting on Holland's reported intention to order in England four 17.000-ton Dreadnoughts, armed with 32 heavy Krupp guns, says it will be a miserable fiasco if British shipyards are crowded with foreign orders, thus preventing Canadian and Australian ships being laid down. The Germans would be content if the building of Dutch ships delays British construction, because Dutch guns are of German design, and Holland uses the same projectiles as Germany.
