France it very deficient in large nnar- mured cruise ns of recent type, .Previous to t)M laying down of thcTage and Cecile in W85 the only important s^eel cruiser built or under construction was the 8Atx, of 4^000 Cons, laid down in 1883 and completed in 1887. In 1885 the Tage was begun. Her displacement of 7,050 tons much exceeded that of any unar- tnored cruiser then afloat. She was the pioneer of the very’ large unarmored forttiser, an&^tho idea has been widely tqjnctiop was fins to an ' tb^facttbattmly very' large vessels can sustain high speed in a seaway, and if continuous high speed is required large size is a necessity. Economists in all countries fought strongly for smaller vessels, but the facts bore too heavily against them. When merchant vessels reached a length of 650 feet, 13,000 tons displacement and a sustained sea speed of over nineteen knots in any ordinary weather, it was useless to build commerce destroyers of three or four thousand tons, no matter what might be the speed of the latter in smooth water. The latest cruisers designed by the French carry thin vertical tmnor for protection against high explosive shells. —New York Herald. .A ProfftMloMl Peaeomaltcr.
