Build Dreadnoughts,
NAVY Men Here Urge

Officers az the New YORK Navy TARA
had little difficulty in finding a lesson
for the United States in the North
Sea battle Its moral, in short, is;
Build dreadaoughts. They pointed out
that the Germans finally were driven
of and the British were spared COM
plete rout by the arrival Of the British
first line of naval defence, their dread
noughts.
The North Sea encounter. they SAID
had done nothing to support the theory
that battle cruisers would supplant
drcadnoughts IN future nayal wars.
Battle cruisers were sunk on bon sides
with comparative case, while the real
brunt Of the fight fell upon the bigger
ships and heavier a1naments.
They expressed the hope that WASH,
ington. seeing the lesson TO he found
in Great 3litain's experience, would
not cut dreadnoughts out Of the new
naval appropriation, as has been the
inclination o. those handling me pursa
strings Mt the Capitol.

The World.

incidentally, the victory may help TO
teach the German people much need
ed lesson as TO the true functions OF
navy. How mean and paltry and con-
temptble must the commerce-restroy-
ing work OF their submarines new
seem in comparison with the undyirg
glory that their men and ships have
won in this North Sea fight, While its
energies were devoted TO the murder
Gus business of sinking unarmed and
defenceless merchant ships without
warning the German navy was con-
tributing nothing substantial to the
military advantage Of the empire. When
the feet took to the high seas and Ge-
voted itself 10 the legitimate business
Of a navy it delivered smashing blow
to the enemy and put new spirit into
every German soldier fighting in the
trenches.
The only naval victories worth while
and the only naval traditions worth
while are such as were gained Wednes-
day in the North Sea, and perhaps the
finest achievement of the German feet
in this battle was to blot out by its
heroism some OF the stain that cow
ardly submarine warfare had left on
the German escutcheon.
The Times
However unfavorable to the British
the conditions were. the result cannot
fail TO be humiliating 10 English naval
pride and in a corresponding degree
heartening to the Germans. The Eng
lish will doubtless feel something akin
to the sensations experienced in the
North after the battle of Bull Run.
This is the first big, open naval battle
of the war. The British had put them.
selves in a position to invite IT, AMI
thew have come off badly. 1t may be
expected that the ChurchilPs party
criticism of British naval policy will be
vehemently renewed. 1t was NJ
Churchill who, as First Lord Of the
Admiralty, boosted that if the Ger.
mans did not come out of the KEEL
Canal the British would go in and dig
them out "like rats" The German re-
Spouse to this was a series of raids on
the coast Of England. It was Mr.
Churchill again who last March, crit
