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.

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.
