the battleships and cruisers whose
movements are reported from Dun
kirk and elsewhere were able to evade
British scouts and patrols.
The attempted raid has had the eff
feet Of stiffening the coast defense.
Troops at Yarmouth and other points
along the coast have been stationed
along all roads leading from the shore
to the towns, ready with rife and ball
cartridges to deal with the remote
contingency of a force of Germans
landing on English soil.
The fact that the Germans were
able to evade powerful British cruis-
ers and actually threaten the coast
has created much excitement and
alarm, but it is supposed that the ad-
miralty is able to deal adequately
with the new danger.
1t is scarcely to be doubted that a
change has come over German naval
policy. The Germans are apparently
determined not to submit to being bot.
tied up, and are willing to fight for
control of the North sea.
