didn't think much of the latter, in
fact said that Its fighting capacity
was greatly overrated. The 'New

the Kaiser's beloved naval system"
We haven't the slightest doubt but

''goes way back and sits down" and
doesn't say a thing, but because he
doesn't howl. shrek and fume with
pain and anger.

disappointment, ''he has ignored
Dewey and has asked for no explana-
