Department
has
been
advis=d
that
the
new
ships
presented
to
the
Canadian
Navy
will
arrive
at
Halifax
on
the
17th of December.
They
will comprise
the
oil-burning cruiser
Aurora

the
destroyers
Patrician
and
Patriot.
Two
submarines
also
‘presented
Ly
the
Ad-
miralty
are
alréady
at
Halifax.
The
ships
will remain
awhile at
Halifax
and
then
proceed
to the

after-
wards
going via
Panama
to
Esquimalt.
[n the Spring
they will return to the
At-
lantic coast
and
come

The
acceptance
of
these
ecraft,
it has been exglained,
is
not indicative of
a permanent
policy of a Canadian
navy.
Theavhole
s bject
of
naval defence
will
be ¢ nsidered
at
the next
imperial
con-
ference
but it is
thought
more
than
pro-
bable
that
to whatever
extent
naval
de-
fencée
of the
empire
is shared
it will
be
alo g the lines of
a
Canadian
navy
co
ordinaied

" EPTIGRAMS

A man

A

for

such frippery.,
Because
a woman says
