Sea and What it Means to Canada," of whichacopy has been received at this

paper read before the Literary and His- ‘ torical Society of Quebec in April last by Capt. William Wood, of the Royal Rifles. It is full of interesting facts and is powef. 1 fully written. '

We all have in our minds in avague

sort of way a sense of the great services in the past and the present importance of the navy to the United Kingdom and to

the British Empire, but no intelligent

down to the present time. The mistakes as’\vell as the triumphs of the past. are pointed out and the present weaknesses

of our naval system are indicated. The

Imperial naval reserve is far short of what`

it ought to be, and there are too many obsolete battleships in the British navy,a number of them still armed with the

muzzle-loadingmguns of a past gener-

ation. Capt. Wood forcibly argues that it is unreasonable to expect

that the entire cost _l of the Imperial navy, called toprotect one fourth

of tl\e___pop.1lation of_the world and nearly one half the world’s commerce, should be borne by the British Isles alone.The great

colonies of the empire ought to share to some extent in the cost, not by building

separate ilee\s of their own, but by aiding tosupport and strengthen the imperial navy. The idea of an Imperial Naval Re-

serve, located among the sea-faring popu- lation of Canada, is put forward. “We

might contribute 1,000 to the active peace ` I -" -'

strength ofthe Navy, and 10,030 to; the _I _ ' ' _g - I g ` - Q _ ~ localised Canadian Imperial Reserves. L_ _ _ " ' 40 _ _. , _ =.`___’ These last would, of course, stay at home, _ , _ V _ J' _ _,e :_
