WHERE ARE THE FLEETS?

The veil of mystery over the actual details
of the great war is nowhere thicker than over
the movements of British and German war
ships in the North Sea.
A few days ago correspondent of one of
the New York papers was allowed on board
one of the German war-vessels at sea. He
wrote back to his paper that Germany is con-
stantly sweeping the North Sea, at least the
eastern half of it. with her batteships, cruisers,
destroyers and submarines, and that he was
met with the instant query: when do you
think the British feet will come out and fight %
For months British war observers have been
asking, when will the German feet come out
and fghti" and Lord Churchill on now
historic occasion promised that the British
would bring out the Germans if they had to be
s'dug out like rats
Which feet, if either, is actually on guard
awaiting the coming of the enemy feetf As
the war wears slowly on, the statement often
heard when it began is being revived: 1.-THE
European conflict will be settled on the seas
But not unless the fleets leave their fortified
and submarine defended harbors and meet in
the open.
