London crowds tonight to do what the
man on the street Of late has been
complaining has not been done--thnt
Is, send the ships upon which England
so much relies against the German
navy. II Is thought tonight that one
big result of tO-day's disaster will be
news of an important action between
the British warships and the main
German fleet
The argument has been put forth
here repea teddy, and 1t is stated more
emphatlcnlly than ever tonight. that
Gprinany's systematic espionage in the
North Sea Is 80 thorough that the
dreadnoughts Of Great Britain are in
quite as much danger NJ all times as
the smaller war craft.
To-lays news has convinced the
impatient public that the German spy
system IL even more thoroughly per
fccted than was at first thought. Eng.
land amid its gloom Tonight insists
that the German naval scouts can To-
cate and destroy particular British
ships at will.
II Is borne In on the public that evl-
IDENTITY the Germans intend to stick ~
policy Of avoiding great naval en-
gagemcnt hut will continue tn attack
and destroy British ships piecrmeal by
mines and torpedocs The wild demand
to rout out the German fleet at al,
haznrd and engage It in battle grows
constantly more vociferous.
