An Analysis of the figures given in the current Register and comparison of them with those for 1914 shows some striking changes that have been brought about by the war and the march of invention during the last few years, Perhaps the mos) noteworthy fact is is the immense increase in the mercantile marins of the United States, an increase from about to 12 million united Kingdom maintains its pride of place as the power largest mercantile fleet, having no less than 19 million tons of shipping, the third and Japan and France with only a difference of 22 thousand tons between them, say three or four largo ships Norway which was formerly third is now seventh in the list, but the three SonndiDavian countries taken together show considerablo increase over 1914.

Whereas in 1914 petroleum in bulk was carried by 385 steamers designed for this trade. tankere. the present book shows that 977 steamers and motor vello s, of a tonDAGE of over million tons, are employ, ed in this trade, an increased tonnage of 242 per cent. The number of ships Atted with in ernal combustion engines (i. e, inotor venela) has enormously inereared since 1914, the present figures being 1, 639 vesele, with tonnage of 11 millions, as compared with 200 ships with a tonnage of 234. 000. More to markable still is the increase in the last markable to the use of liquid fuel as a eubstitute for coal. Vessels burning oil now from 22 per cent of the total gross tonnage of all classes of ships, as against per ont in in th same period the tonnage marine which depends upon coal be declined from 80 per cent of the whole to just over 70 per cenu, There can be no mistaking the bignifionnce of these figures. It they mean any hing at all they can only mean hat Great Britain will have to meet the scrious challenge of a new comer, the United States, in a domain ia which abe erto been paramount, in fact facile princeps, and that this challenge is to be met at a time when the great advantage Great Britain possesses in abundant supplies of bunker coal is to a certain extent being neutralized by the introduction of one or another form of oil driven ships. But strps are being taken to meet these altered conditions and to secure the future prosperity of one of Great Britain premier industries, The chaotio condition of the foreign exchanges, especially European, has DO unnaturally given an added interest to the movement in Great Britain known as Trade within the Empire.

But one or two notable pronouncements on the subject may be recorded here.

Paris, Jaly 26. The Council of Ambassadors decided to day to send a sharp note to the German a Government demanding the immediate destruction of the fire control and range finding school, which the German Naval Authorities have quietly ostablished at a strategic point on the Kiel Canal. Allied expert opinioa has declared the school convertible into a fort commanding the entrance to the canal.
Allied control officers, who reported the school to the Council termed it the most fagrant of the long series of violations of the Naval terms of the Treaty of Versailles on the part of Germany. Experts reported these violations to have extended over period of two months, and strongly urged action by the Council.
Among other charges made against Germany, was that of attempting enlistments for the German Navy far beyond the quota allowed by the Treaty.
Failure of the Germans to des troy the coast defence guns was also among the complaints.
