NAVY SCANDAL
GOVERNMENT BLAMED. j '.Received Last Night, 11.30 o'clock.) j LONDON, January 2-1. ! Major Archer-Shee, in a letter to j the newspapers, in reference to the ' Prometheus and the Torch, says the | whole fault lies with the present Gro- | verrfftient. During the years it has i been in office, it had not built a J sMigle ship to take the places of small cruisers at the Cape, East Indies, Australia and Pacific stations. Consequently the old ships were coil- 1 stantly breaking down and being ) uatche<l up. The Admiralty were j shielding themselves as to the can-so . of the Torch and Prometheus trouble i by censuring or superseding officers in j connection with, a defective condition ' oi the ships. j
