THE SHIRKED SEA FIGHT

GERMAN TACTICS DISCUSSED A TORPEDO TRAP? jj Auslralian-New Zealand Gable Association, ; London, August 21. ■ The "Pall Mall Gazette" states that Admiral Jellicoo, with a considerable i force, fairly close, and soon encountered our patrol screens. The Germans, turned tail and ran for port. Tho Germans did not seek battle, but a bulletin in the "Evening Stand- I ard" suggests that it was ail attempt to luro Admiral Jellicoo into a nest of ! torpedoes. Tile "Manchester Guardian" remarks that sinco tho Jutland battle tho ship- 1 ; building situation lias greatly eased, and largo attention is now being devoted to tho construction of merchant- ; 'men. A NAVAL WRITER'S COMMENT ("The Times.") (Rcc. August 22, 8.40 p.m.) , London, August 21. Tho "Times's" naval correspondent says: "The German Fleet's ability to put to sea again after its scvcro damage at tho Battle of Jutland occasions no surprise. The present war, and tho Rus^o-Japanese war, have proved that ships can be quickly repaired, provided they aro not vitally injured. Admiral von Schcer camo out hecauso he desir- ' ed to keep up the fable of his Jutland 1 success, and of proving that his fleet i was not confined to Kiel. The raid j did not risk much, provided his ships j kept close to tlio mine-fields and wero ■ well served by aerial scouts. Unofficial reports sugcost that the Germans honed to find insufficiently supporter? British patrols, or to snap up a few fleet units. Tlio incident affords irre- j futable proofs that tliev recognise how securely Sir John Jellicoo commands ' tlie seas. So long as tho enemy can be made to feel that bo cannot advance in the North Sea without paying ado- t : quatc toll he will soon realise that the i game is not worth the candle."
