NAVAL ARMAMENTS
DEMAND FOR. MOSQUITO CRAFT. A DISQUIETBNING TENDENCY. (Press Association —By Telegraph—Cop-right) LONDON, December 23. (Received Dec. 23, at 8.50 p.m.) Russia recently placed in foreign yards a number of orders for submarines, including several of large dimensions, says the political correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, which editorially remarks that the competition which used to centre round capital ships has been shifted to destroyers and submarines. “Never were so many vessels of these types afloat, building, or projected,” the Daily Telegraph adds. “Vast treasure is being poured into the shipyards in order that some powers may increase - their flotillas of mosquito craft. The movement continues without any explanation of the policy. This is a subject to which the American people who gave so notable a lead in the matter of the limitation of armaments might with benefit to humanity direct their attention.” —A. arid N.Z. Cable.
