NO EMPTY FORMALITY.
WARDENSHIP OF THE SEVEN SEAS.
(Received Feb. 6, 11.5 ,p m ) LONDON, Feb. 6. lhe Telegraph says: "The King's visit was no empty formality, but a practical inspection by the sailor inheritor of the wardenship of the seven seas. The New Zealand is an .emblem of a. new era—the first <*ift from .the- daughter lands to the •Navy, on wluch every Imperial interest depends. The vessel is a source of pride to every Englishman, and a subject of amazement to those who thought to wrest Britain's sea supremacy. The New Zealand will carry British ideals and efficiency around the globe. She is charged with the aspirations of the Empire, which is searching for means of translating ihe proverb 'Union is Strength' into terms which the world will understand.''
