ADMIRALTY CRITICISED.
'NAVY HAS SLEEPING SICKNESS. (Delayed Cable). London, May 11. During the debate on tlie Chancellor's speech, Sir. Lambert (Lib.) said that the Admiralty had borrowed Dr. Clifford's policy of passive resistance, and was merely keeping up a half-hearted blockade of the German coast. Mr. Houston (Unionist) said that the Admiralty bad sleeping sickness. It needed good fighting men. Last week three German submarines, with surface gunfire, sank a British ship on. the prescribed naval route. Commander Bellairs ((Unionist) said that the Goeben was not brought to action because the Admiralty telegraphed forbidding the risking of armored ships. Two Dreadnoughts exhausted the life of their guns, and. took a day to sink the German squadron off Falkland Islands because clobb action was not adopted.
