Admiral Jellicoe, commander-in-chief
of the British fleet that boxed in the
Germans, in a remarkably frank state
ment of conditions at the early part of
the war. says that the British were sur
prised at the efficiency in some respects
of the German navy. He specifically
mentioned their superiority in the speed
of their ships, the efficacy of their de-
layed fuse shell. the numbers Of their
eestroyers and their system of fire con-
troll 1t was this early recognition of
some of the relative weaknesses Of the
British system that led to the correction
and the final overwhelming dominance
OF the British navy before the end of the
war. -
In the particulars which Admiral Jel-
ficoe mentions, the United States Navy
was perhaps in better condition than the
British, although in some respects the
Germans had an unquestioned advantage
over the American Navy, if the two had
been the only parties to the conflict.
The United States Navy at the time of
its entry into the war had no scout
cruiser worthy of the name, and the
Germans in this respect had SO clear
superiority that it is doubtful whether
the American fleet could have obtained
scouting control. The United States
then had and it has now no battle
cruisers, and with this advantage to the
Germans all hope of scout control was
lost to the fleet, and American COM
merce. if there had been any, would
have been at the mercy of the Germans.
The American battlesf1ip- was in all re-
spects-speed., armor, gpnfire and man
Towering qualities-equart to anything pos
sessed by the Germans. American de-
stroyers were Of a more powerful type
and better adapted for ocean voyages
than any the Germans possessed, al
though probably not as well suited for
the shallower waters and shorter waves
of the North sea. In point of numbers
of first-class destroyers the Americans
were inferior. although they had a large

struction. .a--..-t.
Details Of the nature Of the shell

secret. known to but few outside OF
the hostile navies, although the Ger
mans had guarded their secret SO
well that the English naval officers
were caught by surprise. The United
States has a delayed fuse for its
armor- piercing projectiles. but it is
impossible to ascertain it's qualities
and if known it would not be pub
lished. But it is fair to assume that
it is highly satisfactory, because with
the knowledge that the British gave
