In response to others he said. that, while the Dreadnoughts were unquestionably the most formidable ships in the world, they could not, owing to their size and diffieulty of management, be fitilized for some of the -effective purposes for whieli ordinary battleships could be used. De discounted the idea of sea fights at 7,000 yards. Suelt eegagemente, he said, would mei likely be of a setious Usture.
