NAVAL SERVICE HEROES.
MEMORIALS TO THE DEAD. PRINCE'S STRIKING TRIBUTE Router. LONDON, April 27. The Prince of Wales unveiled at Chatham one of the three memorials which have been erected in British ports to the memory of the 25,563 men and women who perished in the naval service during the Great War. The memorial at Chatham bears 8543 names. The Prinze said that it was impossible to erect a monument to these heroes' similar to those on the battlefields of France and Gallipoli, for all the seas of the world wero their battlefield and their grave. Through the victory won by their sacrifice, the ships of Britain still sailed to the uttermost ends of the earth.
