Hope of Peace Is Weakened

or course, those in sympathy with the
~ allied powers deeply regret the German
naval victory in the North Sea; equally. of
course, the pro-Teutonic element rejoices
greatly in it. Between the two stand those
who are actually neutral in feeling, and who
desire only peace for the sake OF the world
AM, these, despite their neutrality, must de-
plore the result of the great sea battle, for
the reason that it almost inevitably postpones
tho peace which they, with the rest Of the
world had felt almost within sight
Germany's hunger though denied by
Berlin. had been relied the chief cause
of Germanys much-dscussed Willingness to
make peace. That hunger was duo to the
British blockade which had been supposed
to he impenetrablc, and which had, whether
actually or for psychological reasons, sufticed
to prevent the importation of supplies into
Germany. Now il has been made apparent
that, whether due to superiority in armament,
in craftsmanship or in the strategy of naval
warfare. the German navy has achieved a
notable victory over the British high seas
fleet. And that victory will, of course, be
taken not only triumphant feat of arms,
but as a demonstration Of Gcrmany's ability
to break the British blockade.
Whether that is true or not. remains to be
seen. But certainly, in the minds of the
German people the fear Of starvation has
lost much of its terror. And by SO much, the
hope of peace is weakened Nor is this hope
indicate that Gormany's victory was not SO
overwhelming at first reported. Even
now, reports are conflicting. claims are SO
contradictory. that it Is quite impossible to
form decided opinion as to the exact damage
inflicted on either fleet. But that is not OF
vital Importance. so far the moral effect
on the German people is concerned.
Even ii it shall appear, eventually, that
British claims as to the number of the Kaiser's
warshipS sunk disabled are justified first
impressions are hard 10 dispel. and it is quite
certain that the Berlin government will not
permit to be disseminated widely among the
people enough discouraging information to
counteract the effect OF the first news OF a
decisive victory.
Great Britain's supremacy on the seas has
not been overcome, of course, but the allies
confidence in the invincibility OF Great Brtain's
fleet has been put to a severe test. And
certainly tho telling blow struck by the
Kaisers fleet must have great moral weight
With the German people.
