The Dally Telegraph points out tat while the Germans in their bases on the Belgian coast are only 20 miles rr om the straits, the exploit in the Cattegat was a carefully planned op eration conducted n-ore than i00 miles from the nearest point on the British coast. . "Such a sweep," it adds, "can be made f-iily by a power In rial control or the sea confronte.-l b an enemy who -Mil not risk protecting his small craft, suspecting th.t noh intervt-u-tion might be the prelude to a general action which he desires to avoid The Germans had large naval forces near the scene on this particular Monday. They did not send them out, but on the contrary, permitted 10 trawlers to be destroyed virtually under their very eyes." The newspaper then discusses the theory that the Germans' might be inviting naval action , near their mine fields and coast aeienses and says that all such suggestions have no foundation among those who have knowledge of naval conditions. The enemy, It says, has gained lit tle new strength for use In the North ea by the Baltic situation, while Brit ish superiority has been Increased since the battle of Jutland, by the cooperation of the American forces and the entire naval strength of the United States would be available If necessary. Moreover, if the German naval forces were to be employed advantageously as the right wing of the German army they should have been thrown in before and not dur ing or after the opening of the bat tle in France. "If a naval battle," it continues "could by any possibility have been decided in Germany's favor, she would have been saved the necessity ot pressing forward her army and would have spared hundreds and thousands of casualties which, on her own con fession, she could not afford. "A battle on the sea fought simply to gain the right to use the seas for military or economic purposes Tho Germans have wanted to attain that end for three years and eight months and if they have not done so while the odds against them were less heavy than they are today, the reason is on the surface. S 111 we can dismiss from our minds all unsupported rumors. The watch by the sea was never maintain ed more efficiently or more effec tively than the grand fleet is main taining it at this moment" SEEDS COWPEAS SOY BEANS and GARDEN SEEDS itoa if Jobn S.
