Almost from the outset of the SER

into the faces of any and all who

the spot under the conditions of mod ern sea fights Is merely one way of counting inevitable destruction. The Ger mans give full recognition to this fact and. as they are not looking for de- struction, they flee when the odds are against them. And they are apparently nothing more than wise in doing so. They consider safety as the first requisite of ultimate success. It Is useless to cling to the belief that flight is an in- dieation of cowardice and in any event the charge will not stick against the Germans. With all their faults, no one can justly accuse them of lack of bravery.
 The Germans have conducted the war from the first as q war of mechanery They and their Austrian allies alone of all the world realized that. the war would be a war of mechanics To them war is not primarily matter of men bat of machiery Therefore, if a machine be withdrawn from position no longer to be held, it is considered to be an act of merit, not of cowardee Hence the Germans fled from the North Sea battle when the heavier ships of the British came upon the scene We know not what effect the battle may have upon her future prospects of winning the war but il seems undeniable that she won the Jutland battle by substantial margin. The fact that her ships took to flight when the odds become greater than they cared to face is neither a proof of CO., wardice nor of defeat. Considering that the weight and range of guns is the de- ciding factor in a sea battle it is no more than excellent good judgment for Il commander to run away when he finds himself outclassed
