BATTLE WON
FLEET IN MEDITERRANEAN ABSENCE OF ENEMY. NO SIGN OF SHIPS OR PLANES. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, December 26. The Alexandria correspondent of “The Times” after his return from the latest voyage of the Mediterranean Fleet says: “We sailed about 3000 miles without a sign of the- enemy, except for a floating mine which was promptly dispatched. “What does that mean? Whatever the answer may be —whether Italy is short of fuel or the men of the Service are tired of the war or the whole nation is war weary —the real story is that the Mediterranean Fleet has won the battle of the Mediterranean. “A few months ago we were always bombed at sea. Now we never see a bomber.”
