How Naval Battles are Won.

tjord Seiborne, speaking at a naval banquet at •Portsmoiith, B»id that he taw thai ionae of our foreign oritica, »mocg their criticism* of the British N*vy and of the British Armj, had said ttat oar officers had not studied th« problems ©f naval and military warfare soflaciently. Now he fcboajeht there w»a » little -justice in the criti cism, »nd he would say to the yonng ofioetf of the Navy, • Remember that the firit clast officer is not only the one who ta m leader of men. bat one who is & ituient of naval problems.' (Oheera) Tberebrp, while be would always «»y to «H rank?, * Uie all the wits you have got to thinfcom the probipme con sxpcted with Xhn work yoa have got to do, yet even ■»ady h d»og' roa« in itself,' If they played a war game, the umpires eouid always balance the nstteria! resoarcea on one side or the other. They could nay here are bo SB»ny ihipi carrying gaoa of such and Sacb & calibre, or this and that ship was protected by such and each armour or she eaald steam so many kiaots.- They could also always weigh the tactical or strategical opportunities of the moment. The one thing thpy could never weigh, and what; was the most important thing, always hud been and always would bf, was the personal element, (Cheers) Depend upon it that In the futcre, as in the past, if two great nations had to fight, si! the weapons they fought with, their ships, their gans, and so on, would generally be equal. What would win would be (be best disciplined, most courageous, most self reliant, and most tenacious officers and men, led by the most tenacious officers and men, led by the xnott capable admiral. (Loud cheers) WHY BBITOHS DON'T BUBBBNDKR

War, whether by sea or by land, never had been, and never would bp, a simple game of che»s. The personal element would always carry the day in the long run. (Oheers), A man was never dtfeated (he was talk ing now of an individual), a man was never defeated till he was either killed or had gar rendered, and though there had been, and would b» again, sarrendera which %ere very honourable to the men who surrendered, the presumption which •very member of His Majesty's Navy oughfc alwaya to carry before him was that surrender was in itself an unutter able dbgracp. (Cheers) Ho had heard people laagh and call a silly boast the old saying of the French Guard in the time rf Napoleon I, * The Guard dipn, bat never Burrendert?,' (Cries of J Never surrender/ and cheers.) But that criticism wns a very shallow and a wrong one, That reputation of the Frfioch Guard waa worth a whole • may to the French nation. Now, if umpires had to judge, just think what verdict they would have given in the old ilaya, 300 yrnra ago, when Sir Ric"Wd flrpville foupkt in tho old Bevrnge (Uhpprs) They wou^d have said, ' Why, her* I? one ship against thirty or forty. You are completely outnumbered and oufmsneeuareri; you have nothing to do but to haul down the.fLye,' They now knew as well ns be did that wh»ft was done by Sir Biehard Greville had been of an inw titsiftble valoe to Ma country, Tt hnd given ireputatloß and a tradition to the British Navy which through all these centuries had been worth m%oy battleships, (Cheers) There was «, tendpney, he thought, to exaggerate very "grpaily the value of human life. Hotttvn lif« was a Very valuable thin)?, bat one of its mo^t. valuable asseta vas th»! fact fchitl on oconeions it could be given away. (Ohfere) vVhafc ' they should all, Bluejackets and Marines, in*k« their motto wss this—' Don't gefi imto * mess, bnt if you do get In, get oat,' (Oheefs).

Nerve Tonic Builds up the System. Strengthens. This warm climate is very trying to all. The blood easily becomes impure and the nervous system greatly debili tated. But you can retain your health and keep your nervous system strong. This is the portrait of Mr. William" Fanning, of Bcaconsfleld, Fromantle, Western Australia. In his letter he says: " Upon arriving in Western Australia three years ago, I found that my blood was in hm condition and my general system all run down, I suffered greatly, especially from indigestion. I had heard so much about AVER'S Sarsaparilla I thought I would try it. I did so, and only three bottles restored my strength, built up my system, and cured my dyspepsia. And I have also found it a great nervo tonic." If you are bilious, constipated, or are troubled with headache, take Aycr's Pills. by Dr. J. C. Aycx Co., Lowell, Mass., U. S.
