responsible for the bomb sent to AM

Admiral David Beatty. Baron of the
North Sea and Of Brooksby. Is regarded
by the British as a typical British
sailor of the traditional bulldog breed
and first-class fighting man. The
worst criticism made OF his conduct
during the war was that he was over
bold and did not wait for reinforce
ments before attacking the enemy.
On the two occasions when the Ger
mans ventured out into the North Sea
in force. it was Beatty who attacked
them and started the fighting. This
forces under his command bore the
brunt OF the fighting and inflicted
much OF the damage the Germans suf-
fered al the battles of Heligoland and
Jutland.
At Jutland. Beatty with his COM
mand of battle cruisers opened the
fight on Admiral ven Scheer andfried
to vancouver him so that his retreat
could be cut off. The Germans got
away in the darkness with Beatty still
pursuing them.

followed wi. furnish conversation for
British naval circles for generations

Born in County Wexford. Ireland
so years ago, he showed his fighting
qualities in the battle of Ondurman. in
Egypt, in 1898 and later in China
during the Boxer troubles when he
took two Chinese batteries at the head
of his bluejackets and was wounded
twice.
Beatty gave the Germans a surprise
before the war when he took his
command into their naval stronghold

Russians remember him as the dough
