asked how many "Dreadnoughts," or vessels approximating to the "Dreadnought" type, Austria will possess in 1912, 1913, and 1914?

According to the Minister of Marine's statement the construction of three "Dreadnought" battleships is under consideration, but we have no official information that any decision has yet been arrived at on this point.
