What the Future Might See

What the Future Might See.—In the event of the talked-of "open-door" alliance, including Great Britain, the United States, and Japan, it is pretty certain that a counter alliance would be formed by Italy, France, Germany, and Russia. The former could put in battle array, according to the New York World, 81 battle-ships, 36 armored cruisers, 184 protected and other cruisers, 313 torpedo-boats, destroyers, and similar craft, and 38 coast-defense vessels. The other powers—Germany, France, Italy, and Russia, could meet them with 93 battle-ships, 40 armored cruisers, 122 protected and other cruisers, 723 torpedo-boats, destroyers, etc., and 41 coast-defense vessels. And the navies of all the powers are growing. It is not peace awaiting this age, it is Armageddon.
