LONDON, Aug. 7.-Not a word has. some out of the North Sea. where the!

far apart. l It seems almost miraculous that the war cloud P01106 up at the very moment when Great Britain had her fleet at the acme of perfection. The enormous crowds which witnessed the recent naval review were filled with pride as the eye glanced over the forest of masts and the confusion of funnels. One had to recall, however, with solemnlty, that this stupendous aggregation of force was the war in- surance of the freedom of 440,000,000 subjects of the British empire, the bulwark of the five self-governing na-i tions, and the guardian of the far distant shoresof the great daughter empire of the east.

AIRSHIPS OVER 'I‘Hl‘1 RO\'AI._.

YAG!-I'l‘ '

When the King reached Portsmouth two airships hovered over the royal yacht within the dockyard. and a group of eight aeroplanes manoeuv- ering over the, crowded anchorage withdut. The impressive silence of the perfect summer’s afternoon was broken by a single gun from the old, Victory-Nelson's Victory, of never forgotten fame. Instantly the scene underwent a change, the gala atmos- phere was over. The head of the whole fleet had come. From the sides of all the vessels great and small flnnres leaped forth and clouds of smoke rolled over the sunlit. waters as the royal salute was fired. As the mighty roar subsided, from the bands on the men-of-war came the opening bars of the national anthem. music sweeping over the \vater.

For a few moments, while officers

stood with hands raised at the sal- ute, nothing was heard from end to end of the great anchorage but the strains of “God Save the King."

PATRIOTIC CROWDS FROM ()\'l-`.il- SEAS

The crowds came from every part

of the United empire; the overseas Dominions, including Canada, were well represented. There were 'Ameri- cnns, Japanese and other foreigners. livery hotel was crowded. Vast crowds lined the four shores of the Solent, blackening the beach at Southsea, with its memorials to the great naval traditions of the past, and the long stretch of land from

This mighty armads, a portion of which has now slipped out to sea with its objective point known only to the British admiralty. but within easy reach of the German fleet, was a great fighting machine, grim with

vessels in twelve long lines,

never lost for a moment their sug- gestion of Britain's overwhelming power. -V They were unique instru- ments of organized violence, lacking in all grace and comeliness, and waiting merely for the signal to go forth. The fleet assembled was by fur, fhe. most important and powerful ever assi.-.T.*.!l»lid. It was R potent fighting force of indompnfliblfl Btreuf? th, complete in every 0153390* necessary for its efllciency. Battle- ships-twenty of them Dreadnoughts, and thirty-five of them pre-llread- -noughts -battle cruisers, cruisers and light cruisers, gun-boats, de- stroyers, and torpedo craft of many classes, seaplanes and airsbips, mother-ships, auxiliaries and repair Ships-everything that goes to con- stitute n great fighting force in full efficiency.

EIGHT SQUADRONS OF UAT-

'l`l.}1lSHIPS

There were eight squadrons of but-

tlosliips and ten of cruisers of vari- ous kinds and classes and in addition the fleet destroyer flotillas and auxi- liaries. 'I`\-.enty-tliree flags and two hundred and thirty pennants were fly-

one hundred and sixty-two pcnnants at the Coronation review of King .George on June 24th, 1911.

.\'ear the shore lay the destroyers

closely packed, grim in their p1a¢k_

line of' decond"'1:lass 'cruisers all stretching far to the westward and throwing into relief the massive lines, one bchind`thc other, of the battle- ships, with the Iron Duke, flying the flag of Admiral Sir George Callahan, Commander-in-chief, and astern of her the Marlborough, latest of our super-Dreadnoughts to be commis- sioned, bearing the flag of Vice-i\d- mirai Sir Lewis Bayly, commanding the First Battle Squadron.

TICST MOBILIZATION OF THE Fl.F.E'l‘

The inspection was the occasion of

the test mobilization which gives firoat Britain three great fleets in full commission. The First Fleet has, of course, its full complements at all times, and is generally at sea. The Second Fleet, comprising two battle squadrons, has large nucleus crews, hnd is regularly sent to sea. Its balance crews have now been com- pleted by ofllcers and men from the naval schools and establishments, and some of the immediate reserve, and the cadet from Osborne and Dartmouth are distributed through this and other fleets, this being an excellent and new feature of mobili- nation. The Third Fleet now appears .ns a complete organized fleet forthe first time.

Beyond these in four-mile-long

lines, were gathered the shadows of war-the black torpedo boats and

the serious purpose of war. The man-.
