as commander in -chicf.
All the newspapers publish articles
on the historic occasion, dwelling on
tho fact that tho Grand Fleets purpose
was accomplished with the complete
destruction of the encmy's naval power.
They pay tribute to Admiral Viscount
Jollicoe as the organizer and leader
and to Vice Admiral Beatty as a first
class fighter, who crowned Lord Jcl-
liCoe'S work.
There is some discussion us to
whether Sir David Beatty, now unem-
ployed, will be offered the post of First
Sea Lord, the Importance of which po-
sition, IL is pointed out. has never been
greater, in View OF the possible effect
of the league of nations upon Britains
naval policy.
