Noue of vs cau forget how alien thing told us by tue authoriz'd spokesmen uf the nav things not authenticated or corroborof tbe ated by ihe silent board-pro- ved to be wluiiiy incorrect.'' Sir William Harrouru m a speech in parliament, stated that the profet sional advisers of the admiralty consider tbe existing state of thing with rrxpect to tha navy satisfactory." Next (lax, to hia amazement, these same professional advisers hc naval lord called in him and told him that if ne did not take that gisieiueut back they in vain he exinsiulatej would resign wi'h them. In their bluni sailor lash-i.politician they relucted tli a might lie aa he pleated on hia owa hook, but they would be dashed If any oli(icifiB could ms.c them stand for a lie. And so Sir William Harcuurt had to lake it beck, and the result was that sor,e unpalatable truths about tho navy leaked out, and up went the naval estimates in response to popular clamor. NEED OF, REPAIRS. In his book on Nsval Administration Sir John H. Briggs, who was for many years chief clerk to tbe admiralty, and therefore knew all about it, says: "My official experience justifies me in stilting that nothing ia so difficult to obutin aa really accurate information; the country never gets it; the bouse of commons very Brldum; aud it is .doubtful if the prime minister himself is honestly furnished with what he requires." In auother passage be states: "One of the most serious complaints that can he brough against our system of ndnujiritratiou is that we do not tell the irmh to the English people. Aud again; It la really tor the interest of tiie country that some measures should be adop'ed by which the responsible naval advisers of the admiralty should have their opinions made known. The folly and absurdity of imposing silence on the moat capable men in the admiralty is so patent as hardly to admit uf argument Jackie' Fisher, a hia irienda call him, knows Infinitely more about the nsjvy than Lord will ever find out. As be Is not a politician and Is responsible to no party, a statement from him that the navy is all right, nr that it needs tills, that or the other thing, would carry far mure weight than any amouut of rhetoric from the First izrd. What should he done, paid Mr. McHardy to the writer, is what ia done by the naTy department of the United States. The ' aava 1 lords should have definite functions assigned to them. Tbe first kird, whose position correspond to that of tbe secretary of tha navy in America, should make an annual report to parliament. That should be accompanied by separate reports from each of the naval lords on the condition and working of the particular branches of the service under his immediate control.

However, Lord is reputed to be a councientious, fairly capable and euergetiS man. Like tbe rest of tbs admiralty officials, he has for some lime had a move on. He has been known to spend a Imuk holiday in the otherwise empty Admiralty building, working out schemes fur the betterment of tbe navy, while Prime Minister Balfour and other members of the cabinet betook themselves to golf and other pastimes remote form the entree of empire. The other members of the board comprise four naval officers of high ra'nk, known respectively as t lie senior, second, third and junior naval lords; a civil lord and a parliamentary and financial secretary. For aotne unknown reason the third naval lord, who is known nlao aa the controller.-getthe biggest salary, $8,500 a year in addition to his professional pay. The senior naval lord, in uddition to the pay that attaches to his rank, gets $7,500 a and year and a house. The second junior naval lords get $6,000 annually eaeh, besides what they draw from tbe navy. Tbe civil lord Is paid $5,000 a year and the parliamentary and financial secretary $10,000. These two are generally politicians with no knowlA permanent edge of naval affairs. secretary, Sir Evan Macgregor, gels ana other but ht $10,000 year, is not n member of the board. Ministers and go, may cotne but he holds on to his job and keeps things running. The figures show that, the salaries range considerably higher than those paid similar officials in America, Unt-rla- ss Sol-bor- posed" Then what a stir there wae in Whitehall where, from the dingy but dignified old Admiiwlty building, the navy ever since the days ha, been managed before there was any United States!

The result of it nil was however, a father careful examination of the Brit-ifto be quite all savy's claim right," with an ultimate conclusion that vbsrass that portion of the navy which indeed a happened to be afloat was navr to be proud of, yet the admiralty that portion which ran the show from musty office in Whitehall was in sore aari of having its barnacles scraped ff. Luckily for John Bull that scrapifa began before Admiral and his Baltic fleet, won ihtir memorable and glorious vlrrory over a handful of British flshermen at ng proven Xndjestvensky Iloggrr Bank. BOARDS THAT ACT AS A SCREEN. Under the pressure of public uni tue influence of such men and miral Sir John Fisher Chari Bsresford, commander opinion aa AdLord of the rt should have specific aJminls'rstiv duties assigned to them and be held responsible for their perform am. That wes fourteen years ago. The report was and pigeon-holeand nothing was doae. The same muddle exists today in lic cumitiiiii!i of the admiralty board charged with the maintenance of England's naval supremacy. Aa a working machine, with such zealous. wide-awanaval lords as now lonn pait of it, it la fairly efficient, judged by the pi event slate of navy. But the system, or rather utter lurk of system, by which it ie regulated, holds no assurance that the efficiency will lie maintained. Ruptioae Admiral Sir John Plshm- and tiie sea graduates associated with him. in whom t.ie country places fcu.'h implicit confidence, should be replaced by fogies, men disposed to avail themselves to ihs full of the opportunities their billets offer them w shirk work ami responsibility, what might, not happen then? That is the, in question which naval reformers England aie now agitating. They want to sec the admiralty run on the same business linea as England's big steamship companies. TIGHTLY MUZZLED. Another matter on which naval reformers are all agreed is that the naval lords should be uo longer muzzled; that the men who arc licet qualified to report on the condition aud of ihe navy should be allowed to do so compelled to do so, in fad. At present the nation is in the .main dependent for official Information of this sorl on the utterances of the politicians of the loard, men who wheu they lake office may have difficulty in discriminating between n battleship and an ocean tramp. It is a fact, incredible though it may seem, that at Washington, from the' reports of the naval intelligence bureau, more accurate and detailed information can be obtained about the British navy Ihe ahlpa and the guns and everything else connected with It than even n member of the house of commons can procure from the British admiralty. The foreign naval attache easily gets the information that la denied the British taxpayer. He 'keeps his own government posted, but it is none of his business to wnke up John Bull and keep him shake. The civilian first lord ia the official mouthpiece of the whole administration.
