SEA CADETS
THE KING AS ADMIRAL. GREAT EXPANSION OF CORPS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, January 25. The First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr Alexander, told a parade of sea cadets 4 in London that the King—himself a “sailor—had been graciously pleased to accept the position of Admiral of the Sea Cadet Corps. Mr Alexander said the Admiralty had always been interested in the work of the Sea Cadet Corps, and was grateful to the Navy League and other associations for their continued interest and help. The Admiralty had now decided to take over the training and control of the cadets, leaving the administration of the corps to the Navy authorities. “We depend today as much as any time in our history upon the maintenance of our sea lines and communications,” he said. “We must always prepare for the future, and you lads have shown your willingness by giving up your time.” The corps has shown great expansion from 12,000 to 25,000 boys.
