JELLICOE
"WOT A MAN OF ACTION." London, February 23. Admiral Fremantle, in a letter to the Press, joins in criticism of Admiral Jellicoe for nut closing in .on the enemy at Jutland when he met him 200 miles from his base with overwhelming superiority. He adds: "Nelson would not have wasted time forming line of buttle. He would never have lost sight of the enemy. Jellicoe lost his chance. His book is full of excuses. The plain truth is that Jellicoe, though si good officer, is.not a man of action. His own defence condemns;him. The annihilation of the German fleet in HUfi would probably .have -ended the war.".
