no risk of being absent if the German fleet shoud come out
 Not tall spare his face tanned by the breeZes. he walks up and down the deck, sometimes with one of his aides or with his chief or staff. again with one Of his admirals. Everyone in the fleet is familiar with the quick light step of that slight figure with a telescope always under his arm. If ship should come to anchor with a bow out of line he knows it. All his fighting ships are under his eye and every human being on the fleet feels his personal presence.
 Descend a ladder under the shadow of two great 13.5-inch guns and the visitor is in a large cabin extending from side to side of the ship, which in house would be called the din ] 1ng-room- Here when he was in port ! in time of peace the commander-in- chief would give his official dinners In time of war the cabin is partly | screened off, as there is more room ] than Sir John and his staff need for meals. Aft of this is what would be called in a house the sitting-room. The furnishings are of the simplest Everything infammable could be re- | moved promptly in case of action. | The few names in the visitors" book | on a table were suggestive of the | fleets isolation from intercourse with the rest of the world. One name was I the Kings and another the Prince of | Wales, and a few high officials
 The visitor looked about in vain for signs of the immense amount of off, cial detail which would seem neces- sary for the focal point of a vast cam paign. Some staff officers and a few records were all. The flagship is kept cleared for action in this as in all oth- CT respects. The actual directing of the three thousand ships and auxili- aries of the British navy is carried on in space occupied by a lawyer and two or three clerks. An orderly went and came with messages from the | wireless room which, aside from the Installations, had space enough for the wireless operators to stand and no more.
 Officers said that it was difficult to contemplate how such a naval cam paign as the British in this war could have ever been conducted without the wireless. Sir John could talk with the Admiralty in London or with any ship, whether off HeligoIand or Ice land. He knew what each man was doing. Let a German cruiser show her nose in the North Sea and he had the news in minute or two after she was sighted.

 Jellicoe, Sturdee, and Beatty en- tered the navy as boys of fourteen None had any particular influence; they made their way by industry. Sir John has served in every branch. He is regarded as possibly the ablest or dnance expert in the navy, which means that he knows the guns which he will fire in action
 Notwithstanding his amiability, all agree that he has only one criterion success. If an officer fails he is su- perseded. Most of these young ad- mirals sleep on the bridge even in harbor. For the last ten years the average British naval officer has

 "Jellicoei He has the brains"
 "Jellicoe! He is young. He has the health to endure the strain. He has the nerve"
 "Jellicoe! He has been tried in ev- cry branch of the service"
 "Jelncoe! His fellow officers believe in him.
 It was that sort of recommendation that helped. When the great war came he was given supreme command and the rest left to him.
 From the time he was a midship man, Jellicoe has been a marked man in the service, said one of his ad- mirals. He is one of those men who seems to be born with tireless energy. No matter what difficulties arise, he is always smiling. Both he and Beatty were in the first attempt to relieve the Peking legations at the time of the Boxer Rebellion. Captain Jellicoe was

COMMANDER JOHN JELLIcoE

Of all the great leaders of the war Sir John Jelllcos. commanding the British Grand Fleet, is least known to the world, and his is the portrait which receives the most cheers when it is thrown onto a screen at London theatre. But the British public knows nothing of him except that he is the fighting commander of the invisible power of the British navy.

MERTON COURSES IN FAVOR.
Both Lesley and Griscom Cup Events
Likely TO GO There.

Although the selection has not yet been
announced officially IL Is understood that
both the Lesley cup and the Griscom cup
competitions will be played this year at
the Merton Cricket Club. 1t Is Philadel
phia's turn 20 have both sets of trcity
matches, 80 the matter of selecting the
courses is in the hands of the Philadelphia
authorities. who are said TO favor Merton
for both Journeys.
The choice OF Merton will make II pos
sible to play the matches over separate
links If such a procedure should seem
advisable, for Merton now has two eigh-
teen hole courses on the club property,
both Of which begin and end at the club
house.
Both have the advantage OF being mod
ern courses. "a the club moved TO its
present location only three or four years
ago. The older course is laid out over
rather Hat and open country and the
new course is HITLER and Is shut In by
woods on nearly all sides. Taken to
gether the two courses make a splendid
thirty-six hole circuit and may be used
In playing the womens Eastern cham
pionship, which precedes the Griscom cup
matches and consists OF thirty -six holes
of medal play.
The Griscom cup matches probably will
be played early In June and the women
golfers OF Boston and New York will make
Il determined effort 10 take the cup from
the Philadelphia women, who won II at
Greenwich last June.
Teams from Massachusetts and Penn
sylvania will meet on the first day OF the
Lesley cup competition, which will be
played late in September. and the winner
of the first days play will meet the team
of the Metropolitan Golf Association, the
present holder of the trophy on the sec
ond day.
