Excerpt from The Naval Annual, 1906 Intimately related to efficiency in this direction is the general and Special eficiency Of British naval Officers. The new scheme of naval training is in full operation, though its results will not be seen for some years. Lord Brassey discusses generally the subjects treated in Lord Oawder's Memorandum, while both sides of the argument are made clear in the conflict of opinion which has arisen in regard to the engineering training of officers, Lieut. Carlyon Bellairs leading the attack upon the new scheme, while a very competent writer, whose personality is necessarily veiled under the pseudonym of Archimedes, makes a vigorous defence. The Naval Annual has consistently advocated a policy of constituting a numerically sufficient Naval Reserve through the Mercantile Marine instead of endeavouring to keep the Navy on what is practically a war footing, and Lord Brassey again strongly enforces this point. The naval mancsuvres of the year being intended to test upon a large scale the new scheme elaborated for the protection of trade, combined with the putting to sea of every fighting vessel intended to be used in war, ' Mr. Thursfield has written a valuable chapter on the subject of commerce protection, which shows the diminished danger to shipping in the conditions Of the modern sea-going trade. This chapter will probably be considered one of the most instructive in the volume. In view of last year having been the centenary of Trafalgar, it was thought well to signalise it in the Naval Annual by adding a chapter on the literature of the centenary, with an appreciation of the professional and personal qualities of N elson.
