Jane's Fighting Ships, 1921. Edited by Oscar Parkes and Maurice
Prendergast. (Sampson Low. 52s. 6d. net.)—The editors of this invaluable record of the world's navies had to complete the new issue while the Washington Conference was in progress. The original proposals made at Washington for a reduction of the chief navies are given at the end of the book, but they have since been modified, and the outcome is still by no means clear. Nevertheless the book as it stands is remark- ably comprehensive and accurate. Special attention is given to the American, Japanese and French Navies and to the German plans for a naval reorganization. Under Russia we are reminded that a part of the Black Sea fleet under " White" command is at Bizerta ; it includes a Dreadnought, an old battleship, two light cruisers and four submarines. The plans and photographs are as numerous and excellent as ever.
