MEANS NEW ERA IN NAVY
SIR JOHN FISHER AS SENIOR.
NAVAL SEA LORD.
Most Strenuous Strenuous and Capable Ad-
miral in the British Naval
Service.
On the day on which 'England cel-
ebrated the ninety-ninth anniversary
of the Battle of Trafalgar, the Brit-
ish navy entered upon it now regime
by Admiral Sir John Fisher taking
office as the senior naval sea' lord,
an appointment which has given un-
iversal satisfaction. and the results
of which are looked forward to with
hopeful anticipation. A naval cor-
respondent says :—
"It• is at once apposite and sugges-
tive that these two events should
have taken place simultaneously—
namely, the celebration of the cul-
minatine°employment of the British
fleet in 1805 and the induction in
&bee at Whitehall of a strenuous
personality who is bound to fashion
to his own liking and, despite con-
stitutional checks, a weapon ready
for use if necessity requires it in
1905.
'Admiral Sir John Fisher is a

"A man of affairs, who has wield-

that the three men with whom he
had come in contact Who had most
impressed him were Bismarck,
Rhodes and Fisher. Yet eighteen
mouths ago the English people hard-
ly knew there was such a man as he.
He had arrived long since, but it was
by his famous speech at the academy

may be said to have first forcibly
struck the public eye and ear. His
