Uncle Harry Tells About The Battle In The North Sea

the British ships have the advantage in
speed; they will travel at speeds from
2l to 25 knots an hour, while the Ger
man ships make from 10 - to p
knots.
''Then. too continued Uncle Harry,
"the British have 10 battlc-cruisers
that can steam at from p to 80 knots
an hour; the Germans have seven bat
tle-cruisers which can travel at from "a

"Well." said Joe, "that certainly
looks as it the British have the best of
it YETI
II don't know" objected jimmy.
"The paper said that the Germans
might put big l7-inch guns in their bat
tleships and that if they did they
would be able TO hit the British ships
while the British ships were still too
far away to reply with their own guns.
Maybe they might put in some of their
ships those big Skoda guns that they
used ON land TO blow the big forts to
pieces"
81 don't believe the Germans can do
so, jimmy replied Uncle Harry. "Io
re-arm with l7-inch guns would make
il necessary to build in new and bigger
turrets, barbettes and ammunition
hoists; it might be necessary to
strengthen the hulls of the ships TO en-
able them TO Withstand the terrific re-
coil of the larger guns. 1t would prob

plctely new ships; so ii any ships are
going into battle for the Germans
equipped with l7-inch guns, it will
doubtless be only three Of the later
ships which have been in course of COM
struction since the war began"
"Then," said Joe, "you don't think
that the Germans can come ont into the
North Sea and fight the British with
any chance of wining!"
'rhat cannot say. The Germans
have shown such wonderful ingenuity in
the war that they may have devised

Uncle Harry laughed. 81 wouldn't

Nevertheless. Britishers returning
