BRITISH NAVY.
AN ADMIRAL’S PLEA,
LONDON, Tuesday
Admiral H. B. Pelly, who commanded the battle-cruiser Tiger from 1914 to 1916, makes a striking plea that the Admiralty should not scrap the Tiger, but keep her as a training ship, she being the last big coal-burning warship. The art of handling coal should be kept alive in the Navy, lie says, as it is most desirable that British fuel should be used, and unwise to keep all our eggs in a foreign, basket, as would be the case if we relied on foreign oil fuel.
Admiral Pelly considers that the Tig ■er is still the most all-round efficienl ship ever built.
