OUTWITTING THE NAVAL SPIES
LORD FISHER'S BLDFF AT THE ADMIRALTir. London, September 8. Admiral Lord Fisher, defending tile introduction of the Dreadnought type, claims that when building battle-cruisers "wo put down the guns in the manufacturers' books as 'built fc> tho order t>f Abdul Hamid. Tho Germans stolo some wrong plans that wero left on my table at the Admiralty, and vasted- ,£950 on the job." Our policy was to have a big preponderance of speed, so as to bo ablo to choose our own fighting distance. The naval blookado during the war was effective, despite some miserable ineptitude.—"The Times."
