BRITAIN STILL UNRIVALLED. U.S. ADMIRAL'S CONCERN. Australian sod K-Z.' C»bl® Association. (Used. 4.30 p.m.) NEW YORE, Aug. 19. Speaking at Williainstown, Massachusetts, Admiral Rogers, chairman of the executive committee of the United States General Naval Board., said that the United States had made ali the material sacrifices of strength at the Washington Conference, while the British fleet as represented in the merchant marine remained unapproachable. Naval combatant strength existed chiefly, if not solely, to back up ocean commei'ce, and until the United States had her own merchant fleet, without fear or of reliance on foreign shipping, the British position on the high : seas would be unrivalled in peace and war.
