JELLICOE CHIEF
OF NAVAL STAFF
IN GREAT BRITAIN
Shake Up in the Admiralty
Announced in the House
Of Commons by Sir Ed
ward Carson.

London, May 1A.-Britain's nation
wide clamor for q ghake-u up In tho ad-
miralty and greater energy in combat
ting the submarine menace resulted In
announcement Of numerous naval
changes in the house Of commons today
by Sir Edward Carson. Carson him
self apparently has weathered the
storm OF criticism and retains his cab
met place as first lord Of the admir-
atty.
Foremost in the changes announced
Is the appointment of Sir John Jellicoe,
first sea lord, as chief of the naval staff,
The new post Is in addition to his COM
mand as first sea lord. Sir Henry Oil
yer was named deputy chief.
STRENGTHEN sHIPBUILpIN0.
The purpose Of the changes" Sir
Edward Carson announced to the
house, rs to free the naval staff from
administrative work. and secondly, to
strengthen tho ship building depart
ment of the admiralty"
Sir John Jellicoe was the main figure
In the last admiralty shake up, by
which Admiral Sir Henry Jackson was
retired from the post Of first sea lord.
The cry then was for young blood in
the navy. Jellicoe became first sea
lord and Admiral Sir David Beatty
commander-in in chief of tho main battle
fleet. OF recent weeks a storm Of crit
icism Of the admiralty has been be-
coming Of such size as to lead to be-
lief that Sir Edward Carson's retire
ment would be forced. The naval ad-
ministration was attacked because,
first of concealment Of exact losses of
allied merchantmen Of the submarine
warfare; secondly, because 1t was
charged the number Of merchantmen
sunk indicated lack of initiative and
energy by the navy in running down
the undersea craft; thirdly, because of
lack of any comprehensive ship build
ing plan fathered by official sources.

periors; that the servile sir" need not

TO SPRING SURPRISED
The theory on which this hypothesis
OF Germanys plan for q great sea
battle is based, is evolved from the
idea that Germany may be trying to
draw the British watchdogs In the
North sea off their guard and distract
attention from major operation
which they intend to spring as a sur
prise.
Another view of the constant haras-
sing of British coast towns is that it
is new form of Teuton propaganda,
frightfulness by bonn
harding defenseless women and child
rem and thus keeping constantly before
England the fear Of an invasion from
