THE NAVY.
AN AMERICAN EULOGY; (By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright.) (Australian &nd K.£. Ciibio Auocittioii.) NEW YORK, January 21. The "New York Herald" says editorially that critics of Britain's fleet have lately been over-fond of saying that the fleet won by sheer, numerical strength., The truth is that. Admiral Beatty's triumph was due not only to numerical strength, but also to the superior valour of the personnel. In the race for supremacy British builders surpassed their German rivals. Ton for ton the British vessels were also the better fighting ships." This was accepted by the Germans, who, after the battle of Jutland, did not daro to come out and accept battle.
