Fifty Per Cent More Efficient
Than in Days of Battle
y of Jutland.
ANYTHING BUT P0WERLESS
More Inventions, More Activ-
ity Than in First Days of
Mobilization.
(Rv X WALTER)

LONDON. Nov S.-'rhe sum total
of n weeks deluge of Information and
Impressions is that the British navy
the keystone Of allied power, IS al
least 100 per cent stronger than AT the
beginning OF the war and 90 per cent
more efficient than in the days Of the
battle OF Jutland This Is without tak-
ing into account those sections Of the
American navy actively engaged in
cooperation with the British.
These estimates arc not based on
any official statement but are my
own considered opinion after visit
20 the grand fleet living on IA
nous battleship the flagship of q still
more famous admiral, mixing freely
with officers and men, and visiting
every port of craft I'm the great north
crn base in which the biggest con-
ccntration of sea power the world has
ever known happened To be In those
dnys. Nor did | talk only with those
who have believed from the beginning
that the British navy was perfect and
nll-powerful. The keenest sailors and
fighters among them We're never un-
der such dcluslCn. Perhaps the most
surprising impression Of all WIS that
even today, after more than three
years of war. and after a wealth Of
scientific improvement, which can
only be made public after the war,
there is still buzz and furry of in
vention and reform such as one might
imagine peculiar to the days Of mUoili-
xntion.
Men Are Keen.
Every one OF the privileged few who
have visited the Grand fleet has
spoken of the continued keenness OF
officers and men. with an ineXhaust-
able admiration for the manner In
which they support their apparently
tedious exile. But ! find that the
keenness Is something more than
readiness and fitness and the
daily hope OF battle; IL was not SO
much the virtues OF patience and
discipline that struck me, but the In
tensive activity Of men who every day
awake anew to the task of making
perfect that day their individual bit
of work In this vast machinery of war.
As TO what the shipbullders and mu-
milton makers behind the navy have
been doing, II took all the days | was
there TO get any clear idea of the ex-
traordinary increase OF the fleet and
of the variety OF her Instruments of
power added to II. You would be
passion some small rather battered
looking vessel in IA picket boat and
ask a sailor, What's that old ship ?"
and he would laugh and tell you the
very day last month or last year when
she Joined them with cloud Of
mystery about her. And this would
happen time and again. so effective
TO the unframed eye IN the natural
camouflage OF the growing navy. or
