THE SURRENDER or TIE GERMAN FLEET

usually skilful leadership had kept
them from annihilation.
From the day OF the return from
Jutland 1t was apparent that the Ger
man feet could never realize "Der
Tag"
The Allied armies and navies want-
ed to win in fair fight. They wanted
to match their leadership and their
indomitable fighting abilities against
the Germans.
But deet that was hidden in the
blight of Hclgolaud and kept in the
security of Kiel, which emerged only
because it was emerging to safety,
was not a feet to shout with Joy over
when it surrendered.
There was tinge Of bitterness in
the conditions of the surrender. The
Allied sailors wanted to fight it out
to a finish.
But, in spite of all that, the very
majesty of the spectacle, as fifty miles
of Allied warships in double file with
six miles between them as they man
euvred to receive the surrender will
.remaia in memory as one Of the most
imposing spectacles Of all time. And
its Significance will never be lost upon
civilization.
