GERMANY'S NAVAL STATUS.
•NOT BEFORE OR BEHIND ENGLAND. BUT AT HER SIDE. *mt Tiy Cable—Press Association—Copyright Berlin, February 15. Admiral Breusing, lecturing on strategy in an Anglo ; German naval war, asserted that the British Admiralty at present favored a close blockade, the primary object being to safeguard England from starvation. England had only sufficient corn for a month, and must 'keep the sea routes open. This was difficult to accomplish, and German submarines and torpedo I>oate, based upon Heligoland, could frustrate the laying of mines, while fast cruisers could break the North Sea blockade, and an action with the German allies in the Mediterranean would menace England's imports The future of the German people rested entirely on the navy. Twenty years hence Germany would be unable to feed her people with her own produce and would !)•" compelled to import. If Germany had not an adequate navv she would become England's vassal. - Her place was neither before nor be- ' hind England, but at her side.
