lantic-errors made by able and pa
triotic men. as there always are.
Some will ask, Why should errors
be discussed now that the war is
over, and all the allied and associ-
ated powers did so we'll? Admiral
Beatty furnishes the answer in these
words:
"Wc make many mistakes, and it
is our business today to see that the
lessons have been taken to heart,
and that we shall not again be found
in such a state that we have to face
the greatest crisis in history with I'M
provised methods, working from hand
to mouth. 1t may be said that the
result was good enough with such
methods; but was it? We have
surely no right to continue to rely
on improvisations. We in the navy
know we'll our defects and it is our
business to face them. to leave no
stone unturned to avoid>a repetition
of the mistakes from which we have
suffered in the past"

Greatest Error of Allies.
: What was the biggest naval error
o. the war committed by the allies?
! think the answer is plain and
easily understood now by both eX-
pert and layman: 1t was the failure
to erect, at the beginning of subma-
rine warfare, back III l9l4-l5, ef-
iectial barrages across the North
sea and the English channel. in the
Mediterranean and at the entrance
to the Adriatic sea. If efforts had
been directed to this end sinking by
submarines would have been greatly
lessened and ended long before the
combined naval forces were equal
to the big job OF making U-boat war
fare unsafe.
The deeds OF the destroyers and
other naval craft glorify the world
war. But if the day war was de-
clared, as the first naval offensive in
that area the French and British
had made the channel from Dover
to Calais impossible of passage by
an enemy submarine that would have
been supreme and effective strategy.
If barrages, such as we afterward
laid across the North sea, had been
erected there and across the Straits
of Otranto. the U-boats would have
been so hemmed in that Germany
would have realized early in the
struggle that it could not hope to
win the war by their use. Millions
of tons OF shipping would have been
saved, and it would have changed
the whole trend of the war at sea.
There were plenty of errors-navy

cruiser was observed on a bearing
S. so degrees w. from Iron Duke?"
Bellairs says: 1T was to avoid this
attack of IL 'destroyers that q
battleships turned away" at is I'M
possible" Bellairs continues, ito
imagine a more definite break from
the whole spirit of naval tradition,
or from its practice, united to mod
ern inventions, of the golden rule
that once an enemy is sighted he
must be cut off. closely engaged and
annihilated. Our cruisers and de-
stroyers, who could have pressed
home their own attacks on the en-
emy line, were by this time in the
van" Finally. after an elaborate dis
cussion, Bellairs says: 1T suffices
here to remark that no turn ought
to have presented itself to British
admiral but the turn toward the en-
cmy."
Admiral Jellicoe went in command
of the British grand fleet after long
and honorable service in the admir-
atty. Is that the reason why he
placed prudence above daring? The
doctrine of "a fleet i'll being" had
long ago been upheld by the admir-
atty. Admiral Jellicoe felt that the
safety of the world depended upon
the ability of the British navy to
prevent the escape of the German
fleet to the high seas. If he failed
in dashing after the enemy fleet un-
der conditions he deemed adverse,
was it not due to his long shore ex-
perience and his intense conviction
that he must, at all hazards, preserve
British superiority in ships on the
sea?
On Shore Too Long.
I remember some years ago that
a certain naval officer, who stood
high i'll the service, went i'll COM
mand of battleship after three
years of shore duty.
"How is Captain Y getting
on?" l asked Admiral Fletcher, then
commando chief OF the fleet
"He has been on shore too long,"
replied Admiral Fletcher. There
is but one way to be a successful,
ready and quick captain of a ship,
and that is to practice all the duties
afloat."
Afterward that officer, highly
esteemed, was plucked.
When the time came for the
United States navy to enter active
war service, even before the declara-
ton of war. l gave the positions of
greatest importance afloat to men of
the longest and latest experience at
sea-Mayo in command of all our
forces at home and abroad; Rodman
in command of our dreadnaughts in
the North sea; Wilson first in
charge of the patrol squadron and

construction, these vessels arc not

appliances
Experts Didn't See 1t.
Looking back, ! wished every day
during the war that when we began
the big naval expansion in 1915, we
had asked congress for the money
TO build 500 destroyers at that time.
By concentration in lol5-l6 we
would have had most of them ready
in the first months of the war. 1t is
fact, however, that no naval expert
and nobody in congress suggested
emitting the capital ships and push
ing the big destroyer program we
began in the stress of war.
Across the seas what was the great
naval error of our allies?
Some of the ablest writers declare
that it was the tactics of Admiral
Jellicoe at the battle of Jutland.
The admiral has written most
interesting book undertaking to show
that his method of fighting the battle
was right when all the conditions arc
considered The admiral is brave
and learned officer, and a gentleman
of charm and real stuff, but he made
the mistake OF his life when he wrote
his story of the grand feet.
Confession and Avoidance
read it on my way to Europe in
March, 1919, and began it with a
feeling that Admiral Jellicoe had
been harshly and unjustly treated by
the critics. But, when l had read the
last chapter, my feeling was the
same as that of a distinguished
Britisher whom | met a few weeks
later and who said to ME:
"For his own reputation Jellicoe
ought not to have written that book.
At the best it is a plea of confession
and avoidance"
The basis for this opinion lies in
the fact that the admiral charges his
failure to win a decisive victory to
the superiority of the Germans i'll
certain material (and to the low visi-
bility that prevailed); whereas the
admiralty had fold the world that
in this very material Great Britain
excelled all other nations-and Jelli-
coe had directed its material division.
Commander G.atairs. NJ. P, may
be too severe in his er;ticism of Ad-
1niral Jellcoe, but all who are inter-
ested in the naval history of the war
should read both Jellicoe and Bellairs
and hope we will be able to read
some day Jellicoe in rejoinder to
Bellairs.
Point to Controversy.
The crux of the battle is: Should
Jellico have turned the whole fleet
away at 7:lO because "a flotilla of

Over on this side of the ocean
what was our chief naval error?
1t was that we lacked the fore
sight i'll l9l5-l6, largely because we
did not have the information which
was kept from ncutrals, to concen-
trate, upon the building of destroy
ers TO the exclusion of larger ships.
To be sure. we were utilizing before
the United States entered the war
every available facility for the build
ing5of destroyers.
More Destroyers Needed.
The great threc-year program
proposed by me in 1915 and voted
by5 congress in 1916 embraced 50
destroycrs to be constructed in
three wears, along with 10 capital
ships and 10 scout cruisers.
Looking back upon that program
it is clear now, taking advantage
of what We learned during the war,
that il would have been wiser to
have delayed contracting for SO
many capital ships, and built hum
dreds of destroyers. the craft most
effective against submarines. Our
ship construction program during
the war included approximately
1000 vessels. This in addition to
the l.547 ships converted for naval
purposes.
There was no delay in pressing
work on destroyers. immediately
after congress authorized the three
year PROGRAM, contracts were made
for the 20 authorized the first year,
as we'll as for 27 submarines, four
battle ships, four battle cruisers and
other vessels. In March, 1917. be-
fore we entered the war, as soon as
funds were available, "a more were
ordered: additional orders were
given as rapidly as the contracts
could be placed and by the middle
OF October we were building or had
contracted for 270.
.Fs All Records Broken.
Millions had to be spent for new
facilities to build thenl-enlarge
ment of old ship yards, building of
giant new plants. 1t was great
job, but we broke all records in
rapid construction when we struck
our gait. The house naval commit
tee, after thorough investigation,
said in its report made March 4,
1918:
when it came to building addi-
tioilal destroyers, especially those OF
the large program, it was found that
the building facilities of the
country were fully absorbed with
the vessels then under construction
and it would be necessary to create
new facilities. The plans adopted
required more than doubling the
capacity available last summer for
building destroyers, and that capac-
ity was materially greater than be-
fore the war. In spite of speed in

Berlin.-The German foreign office
expresses belief that the negotiations
which have been proceeding for the
last three weeks between Ellis Loring
Dresel, the American commissioner in
Berlin, and DIR. Rosen, the foreign min
lister, have progressed sufficiently to
warrant the conclusion that general
working basis has been established for
the conclusion of a formal peace
treaty between Germany and the Unit
ed States at an early date.
1t is understood in well informed
quarters that the German government
has assented to propositions submitted
by the American state department
through Mr.. Dresel, in the way of in
formal inquiries based upon the essen
tial principles enunciated in the Por-
ter-Knox peace resolution. None OF
these, it is. said, had been opposed by
the Wirth cabinet, which is declared
to be wholly in accord with the Ameri-
can attitude on the prerogatives and
privileges and various rights under the
treaty of Versailles to which the Unit
ed States is entitled by virtue OF Amer
Ieas participation in the war.
