THE BRITISH NAVY
BERESFORD'S INDICTMENT. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Received 18, 10.25 p.m. London, June 18. Lord Charles Beresford, in a letter to the newspapers, says that the new allocation of the fleet means that the Government is determined to abandon the naval defence of the Mediterranean, which is a main link in the defence of the Empire, and is goiu;' to rely upon a system of alliances, which has always proved disastrous. Germany holds England glued to the narrow seas, and the flank of the Empire is exposed to'ltahan and Austrian surprises. During the last decade six out of thirteen naval bases have been dismantled of their garrisons, and others have had their fleets rediuced. The Empire is now short of 20,000 men.
