young navy.
II will have = stimulating
moral effect upon the Germans
and must depress the British M,
ton because OF the large dis
parity In losses.
But the major purpose OF the
opposing navies in the present
war Is to keep trade routes open
for friendly merchantmen and TO
close them to enemy merchant
men.
The success Of the German
feet In the Skagerak will not
open German ports to the trade
Of tbs world.
Not a pound of meat nor a
barrel Of flour will enter Ger
many because OF the battle. and
for this reason the military eff
feet OF the clash cannot possess
major importance.
Present information suggests
that the British cruiser squadron
was led into German trap. I'm
less the battle was an accidental
meeting of the opposing forces.
which ia not probable. II seems
likely that a new policy OF OBJ
servation close to German wa
tiers was being put into operation
by the British admiralty.
