Great Britain and Germany.

In d nutshell, the situation of our
relations with Great Britain and Ger
many. the two powers with which we
have had our principal controversies
is this:
Germany. having developed the sub
marine as an offensive engine Of de-
struction, asserts that she cannot. on
account of the resulting conditions
conform to the established rules of
naval warfare, and we should not
therefore, insist on strict compliance
Great Britain has no sympathy with
the German point Of view and demands
that the submarines observe the rules
Of visit and search without exception
"On the other hand. Great Britain de-
Clares that, on account of the new con-
ditions resulting from submarine ac
tivity and the use of mines and from
the geological position Of Germany
she cannot conform to the established
rules of blockade and contraband. and
we should not. therefore. hold her to
strict compliance with those rules.
Germany insists. nevertheless. that
Great Britain be made to follow the
existing law.
Both Offer Same Excuse.
Both governments have adopted the
same arguments based primarily on
military necessity and offer the same
excuses for their illegal acts, but
neither will admit that the other is in

First Official Account.

The first official account in detail Of
the North sea battle was given to the
Associated Press by a high official at
the admiralty. 1t was noticeable that
among admiralty officials, who of
course, have access to all the official
reports. the opinion was general that
the depression caused by the first an
nouncement of the result of the en-
sagement was not justified. in the light
of subsequent details. The Associated
Press is informed that future details
VIII nave even a more heartenng ef-
feet than the news given out today
The admiralty is especially cautious
about stating German losses giving
only those which are reported officially
admitted by the Germans, meanwhile
awaiting detailed reports from officers
who participated in the action.
1t would have been possible to an
tcipate the German announcement in
regard to the battle received here by
wireless yesterday afternoon, but the
British admiralty did not have details
until after Admiral Jellicoe reached
port, and frankly issued the informa-
tion which was in its possession.
