Sir John Jellieoe, in a speech in the City, alluded to the Imperial Navy as including men from the overseas' Dominions, also, men from the mercantile marine. No word of gratitude to thein was too great. The navy was re|Ti'esented on all the world's seas. The Grand Fleet cherished the hope some day to meet the enemy fleet when it came out. The mercantile marine had little opportunity to fight an. invisible enemy. Regarding the submarine campaign, they could only say that people could help the navy by the strictest economy in consumption and the greatest output in production. COMMANDEERING OF WOOL.
