BRITAIN'S BULWARKS
AX INTERESTING WORK. By Cable—Pres3 Association—Copyright. London, January 10. In the second edition of General lan Hamilton's work on compulsory service, Admiral Wilson adds an appendix emphasising that Britain's defence is twofold, comprising, firstly, her seagoing (leets, and secondly, mobile mosquito craft, including 170 destroyers and torpedoers and 50 submarines, stretching between Dundee, Dover and Devonport. Admiral Wilson points out that the really serious danger is the interruption of trade and the destruction of merchant shipping. All ships operating in Home waters are in wireless communication, and so disposed as to make invasion on even the moderate scale of 90,000 men practically impossible.
