The " White Fleet" : Britannia's Coming Great " Command."

7St. Catherine Press. 3d.)—The energy of Mr. H. Alington Yockney has elaborated a plan for the education of young

men to a knowledge of the scope and responsibilities of the Empire. His scheme is for a fleet of vessels which in the course of a cruise of some thirty weeks shall touch at the principal ports in the Empire. Each ship would accommodate about seven hundred cadets between the ages of sixteen and twenty years. The scheme is explained in the present booklet down to its smallest details, and Mr. Yockney's enthusiasm for the ideals which be believes the " White Fleet" will promote cannot fail to communicate themselves in some degree to his readers. Copies of the pamphlet may be obtained at 34, Norfolk Street, Strand, London.
