The minister of marine obtained the consent of parliament to begin the buflding of (wo new crulsers and four submarines of the biggest type at once, while he was authorized to pur- chase & number of hydro-aeroplanes. The cruisers are to develop & speed of thirty Knots at their trials and to pos- #ess a steaming radius of 5,000 miles at & minimum speed of twelve knots. They are to displace 6000 tons and to cost $3,000,000 each, and are to be buflt In Holland under the supervision of a for- cign firm, which must guarantee the quality of thelr comstruction and that they attain the requirements laid down by the government. They are to be armed with ten é-inch quick-firing guns, four $-inch semi-automatic quick-firers, arranged for use as anti-alrship weapons, and four machine guns.

The latest manifestation of it was a flood of anony- mous letters to soldiers at the front in- forming them that while they were shed- ding thelr blood, thelr wives were lead- ing 10oss lives at home. This s supposed to be the reason for the decision of the | war department to give four days' leave to the men at the front iy contingents of 50,000 at & time, so that'they may look into the situation at home on their own part in Dutch sea operations.
