THE DREADNOUGHTS.

DELAY IN CANADA'S OFFER, i A "DAILY MAIL" SUGGESTION. By Tcleeraph—Press Association—Copyright London, May 29. Owing to the delay caused by the Canadian Senate's action regarding tho Navy Bill, the "Daily Mail" urges Mr. Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, to introduce in Parliament Supplementary Estimates providing for the laying down of three Dreadnoughts. The paper recalls Mr. Churchill's remarks regarding Supplementary Estimates made during his speech on the Navy Estimates on March 27 last.

[Mr. Churchill, speaking in March, said he feared there was no prospect of avoiding increasing the Estimates unless the acute rivalries were checked; and that Great Britain in 1920, if the Canadian and Malay ships were included, would possess forty-iive super-Dreadnouglits to Germany's twenty-four. He added that the Estimates would have been substantially higher, but for the congestion in the "shipyards. If this was relieved, it would Le necessary to submit Supplementary Estimates later in tho year.] KOENIG ALBERT AGAIN AGROUND. London, May 29.
