LORD JELLICOE
FOR BIGGER NAVY. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) TORONTO, September 3. Great Britain’s cruiser and destroyer strength was becoming “totally inadequate,” s () Admiral Jellicoe declared, in an address to the Navy League of Canada. He gave a warning that the security provided by the British Fleet had been sacrificed to the ideal of disarmament. He said: “We have set an example in disarmament which no other nation has followed. We have not only dropped our Navy, but have done nothing for our coast- fortifications. This example would he laudable, hut it involves tile greatest possible risks. We all hope that the will to war has gone, hut the will to fight has not gone from this world. One need only look at- such things as general strikes to understand that,” he said.
