British mercantile marine. The ad.
miralty was publishing tables show.
Ing that four or dve thousand ships
were arriving at British ports and
leaving them every week, while other
tables disclosed the number Of British
ships under sixteen hundred tons and
more than sixteen hundred tons that
were going down every seven days
Thus. the week that arrived I learned
from these figures that Great Britain
had lost seventeen ships above that
size. and two ships below: that >. I0S
vessels had arrived at British ports
and that 2.367 had left, and that in
addition. seven fishing vessels had
fallen victims to the German subma-
rines.
Admiralty Figures Worthless.
Such figures were worthless for
they did not include neutral ships and
did not give the amount Of tonnage

necessary to keep from the enemy.
Consequently. these results as pub

alarming. The newspapers all over

Profound Faith in God.

Perhaps Lloyd Georges cheerful
ness is explained by another trait
which he similarly had in common
with Lincoln: there is q Welsh mys-
ticism in his nature which. I am fold.
sometimes takes the form of reli-
gious exaItation. Lloyd Georges faith
In God and in a divine ordering of
history is evidently SO profound that
the idea Of German victory probably
never seized his mind as a reality.
We all know that Lincoln's absolute
confidence In the triumph of the
north rested upon a similar basis.
Certainly only some such deep-set
conviction as this could explain
Lloyd Georges serenity and optimism
in the face of the most frightful ca
Iamities.

Sims Himself in Dark.

Before arriving In England my
self had not understood the gravity Of
the situation. I had followed the war
from the beginning with the intensest
interest; I had read practically every
thing printed about it in the Amer
can and foreign press, and I had had
access to such. official Information as
was available on our side OF the At
1antic. The result was that, when
tie fear about the outcome. All the
fundamental facts in the case made
it appear impossible that the Ger
mans could win the war Sea power
rested practically unchallenged in the
hands of the allies; that in itself was
an absolute assurance Of their ulti--
mate victory. / had read in the Amer
lean press all the statistics of ship
ping losses, and, while such wanton
destruction of1ife and property SEEM
ed appalling, ] could see nothing in
these figures that was likely material
ly to alter the result. Indeed, re-
garded it as altogether likely that
States could exert any material In
fuence upon the outsome. My con-
clusions were shared by most Amer
lean naval officers whom I knew
students Of warfare, who. like myself,
had the utmost respect for the British
leave the future OF the world in its
keeping.
Yet I had spent only a few days in
London when all these illusions DIS
appeared. The British admiralty
placed before me facts and figures
which had not been given to the press.
These documents disclosed the az
founding fact that Germany was win
ming the war. and winning at q rate
that meant the unconditional e1rren-
der Of the British empire in four or
five months.
Jellicoe and Sims Confer.
On the day Of my arrival in London
I had my first interview with Admiral

Jellicoe. at that time the first sea

for many years and we had been more

considerable period. I first made his
acquaintance in China In 1901. when
Jellicoe was captain and already
recognized as one of the coming men
of tho British navy. He was an ex-
pert on ordnance and gunnery, q sub
ject in which was greatly interested
at the time; and this fact brought US
together and made US friends.
The admiration which I conceived
for the admirars character and In
tellfgence at that time I have never
lost. He was then, as he has been
ever since. an indefatigable worker.
and more than worker-a profound
student of everything pertaining to

ability of command. I;had known him

babies, as well as on shipboard among
his men. and I had observed at close

Jellicoe's Face Mask.
. Physically Admiral Jellicoe is a
small man, yet he is as powerful in
frame as he lis In mind, and there
are few men In the navy who can
stand up against him in tennis. His
smooth shaven face, when met him
that morning in April. 1917, was. as
usual, calm, smiling and imperturb-
able. One could never guess what
was going on in his head by any OUT
ward display of emotion. At this time
responsibility for the safety Of the
British empire rested upon Admiral
Jellicoe's shoulders.

indicated the destruction of nearly
100000 tons. These figures showed
losses which were three and four
times as large as those indicated by

man submarines were positively
known to have been sunk. and Ad-

German shipyards were turning out
new submarines at the rate of three

Stories had recently found their
way into print about the voluntary
surrender of German U-boats; no such
surrender had taken place: the stories
had been circulated merely to depre--
ciate enemy morale. I even found
that members Of the government who
should have been well informed. and
also British naval officers, actually
believed that many captured German
submarines were carefully slowed
away at the Portsmouth and Ply. Ply.
the supplies and communications Of the
forces on all fronts were threatened,
that German submarines were con-

farther and farther out into the At

that Great Britain's control Of the sea

Britain Did Not Control Sea.

This fact is SO familiar that tn-
sist upon it here only for the pufe
pose of inviting attention to another
fact which is not so apparent. Per.
haps the greatest commonplace 0&
the war, from the newspaper stand~
point, was that the British fleet COM
trolled the seas. This mere circun1-
stance, as have already said. WAS
the reason why all students OF his
tory kept insisting that she could
never be defeated. It was not unflJ
the spring Of 1917 that We really
not until had spent several dayss1n
England that made the all-impor-
tant discovery, which was this-that.
Britain did not control the seas.
She still controlled the seas in the
old Nelsonian sense-that fs,> her
grand fleet successfully "contained
the German battle squadrons an4

control of the seas in the modern
sense; It is merely control Of tie
surface Of the seas.
Under modern methods of naval N1f-
fare sea control means far more than
controlling the top of the water. 4UE
there is another type of ship which
sails stealthily under the waves. re-
vealing it's presence only at certatns
intervals and capable of shooting q
terrible weapon which can sink the
proudest surface ship In a few ,m4
utes. The existence of this new. type
of warship makes control of the~eeao
today a very different thing from
what It was in Nelson's time A.
long as such a warship can operate
under the water almost at wfll--Aud
this was the case in considerable
area of the ocean in the early part

Lloyd George Like Lincoln.

OF all the influential men in the
British government there was only
one who took an optimistic attitude.
This was Mr.. Lloyd George. / met
ners, at his own country place, and
elsewhere, and the most lasting i'm
preston which I retain of this won
derful man was his frrepressible
gayety of spirits. 1 think of the
prime minister of Great Britain as
a great. big exuberant boy. always
laughing and joking, and even In
this, perhaps the darkest crisis of
British history. showing no signs Of
depression.
His face, which was clear in its COM
plexion as a girls, never betrayed the
slightest anxiety. and his eyes. al
ways sparkling, never disclosed the
faintest shadow. It is a picture which
I shall never forget-that of this man.
upon whose shoulders the destiny Of
the empire chiefly rested, apparently
refusing to admit. even to himself. the
dangers that were seemingly crush
ing 1t to extinction, herotcal1y devot-
ing all his energies to uplifting the
spirits OF his countrymen. and. In his
private intercourse with his asso-
ciates, even in the most fateful mo-
ments, finding time to tell funny
stories, recall entertaining anecdotes
Of his own political career. poke fun
at the mistakes Of his opponents and
turn the general conversation thou
sand miles away from the western
front and the German submarines. 1t
was the most inspiring instance of
self control that I have ever known;
only one other case in history can be
compared with it, for Lloyd Georges
attitude at this period constantly re-
minded me of Lincoln in the darkest
hours Of the civil war, when, on news
Of such calamities as Fredericksburg
or Charlottesville. he would enter
tain his cabinet by reading selec-,
with humorous sayings and anec-
dotes Of his own.
