Bitterness marlced tho reply of A. J. Balfour, First Lord of the Admiralty, In the House of Commons to-day to Col. Winston Spencer Churchill's attack on the naval administration, which the First Lord said was unfortunate both In form and substance and likely to arouse misgivings among the people. While deprecating the controversy Mr.

Balfour declared: "I absolutely deny Col. Churchill's charges." He then threw the blame on Col. Churchill for depleting the ranks of skilled shipwrights by allowing them to Join the army during Churchill's tenure of office, thus hindering the ship-building plans, which, however, the Government had succeeded in keeping abreast with the needs. "If the fleets at the command of this country at this moment are insufficient to secure safety, then in the whole history of Great Britain they never have been," was one of the parting shots uttered by Mr. Balfour.

Col. Churchill retorted with a brief speech, repeating his doubts 'about the execution of the battleship and destroyer programme and asserting that even now Mr. Balfour had not given any assurance on this point. He admitted that there was no reason to suppose that the British margin of strength' was not sufficient; but he thought the greatest efforts would be made to build at the highest possible speed. Other members protested against such a contest in the House of Commons and James M.

Hogge, Radical, for East Edinburgh, criticised Col. Churchill for starting a controversy which could not be easily stopped. A number of other departments of Admiralty activity, such as requisitioning merchant shipping, arming of merchantmen, and air defense were subjected to discussion, but the committee of the House eventually approved a vote for 350.000 men for the navy and several "token" appropriation for navy expenditures, which had been introduced in this manner in order to avoid giving total amounts, POLITICAL AIR STERKED.

There are many-evidences of a highly charged political atmosphere as a resuit ot Col. Winston Churchill's sensational reappearance hi the House of Commons Tues-dav and the equally sensational reply to Col. Churchill made yesterday by Arthur J. Balfour. First Lord of the Admiralty.

"Is Col. Churchill preparing to return to politics?" Is the quest on many lips. Yesterday he attended a meeting of a self-appointed committee of Liberals, who suggested to him that he ought to come oacK imo lhu j.i.w montnin' fimm. Col. Churchill replied, according to those present, witn a speecn nuiua.

the nresent Admiralty and said he was gravely considering what course it was his duty to pursue. Col. fhnrchin's intentions in Oils respect are of such importance that the morn ing newspapers ot to-iay snow to hazard any guesses, although none of them hesitate to censure, even more harshly than yesterday, the manner in which he brought himself back into the limelight. Most of the newspapers praise Mr. hut the Daily Tele graph fears the First Lord of the Admiralty, in the heat of the moment, may have said things which he hkeiy will regret later.
