DIVER BASES BIG
PROBLEM FOR BRITISH

LONDON, Aug. s.--"The British
navy's control of the nerve system of
maritime communications of the
world at this juncture is more COM
plete than the control exercised by
the army Of the central powers Oh
land" said Admiral Sir John r Jel-
leo. first sea lord and chief Of the
naval staff. in an interview with the
press yesterday.
Regarding the destroyer and sub
marine bases on the Belgium coast
which are in the hands OF the Ger.
mans. he said:
"One f. Ostend. the other is Zee
brugge. The Germans have applied to
this length Of sand-fringed coast the
same principle Of intensive fortifica-
tion adopted higher up on the North
Sea and the Island Of Heligoland.
The coast line Is studded with heavy
guns which in themselves constitute
infinitessimal targets at a range Of
more than twenty thousand yards. on
which any bOmbardment could be
carried out.
