'Admiral Jcllicoe Reveals
"Weakness of Tonnage
. and Equipment
U-BOAT HAD WHIP HAND
Grand Fleet Never Sure of
Victory Till 1916, He
Says in Book
By tho Associated Press
London, Feb. 12. Tlio dancer!) to
which the Drttlsh grand fleet, short of
cruisers, destroyers and with defense
less bases, ivns exposed during the first
two and a half years of tho war, owing
to 'the Gorman uso of submarines, mines
and torpedoes, Is described In a book
written by Admiral Viscount Jelllcoe,
who was commander of tho fleet. Tho
book, published today, covers the naal
activities of 10H-16.
Admiral Jclllcoa says that tho German
nigh seas fleet possessed cighty-clght
destroyers, compared with forty-two for
, the grand fleet, and reveals that, owing
to tho submarine menace, tho grand
fleet In tho autumn of 1914 moved from
Lough Styllly and returned to tho North
Sea only -when tho anchorago In Scapa
Plow becamo reasonably safe.
Neither In October, 1914, nor In Slay,
191 6, Admiral Jelllcoe says, did tho
British margin of superiority Justlfy.hlm
In disregarding 4fro enemy's torpedo Arc.
Improvement After 1D10
The situation gradually Improved
after 1916, especially as tho light cruiser
and destroyer forces with tho grand
fleet Increased steadily after the battle
of Jutland, considerably reducing tho
J-danger 05 successful torpedo attack, nnd
I, tho Inclusion of Class K submarines
.made It probable tho enemy would suffer
'more severely from submarine attack
ithan tho British. Regarding 1918, Ad-
,'mlral Jelllcoe says:
"Tho position was assured and wo
could have afforded to toko risks which.
ln 1916, would have been most unwise.
If the Gorman fleet had come out to
battle a tcrrlblo punishment awaited
them."
One-third of tho book Is devoted to the
Battle of Jutland. Admiral Jelllcoe
.dwells on "tho danger Involved In leav
ing too much to chance In fleet action,"
and emphasized the lack of reservo to
replace losses In the ccnt of disaster.
Cites German Superior Strenetli
, Admiral Jelllcoe sas tho German
(battle cruisers had better armor, many
, more destroyers, moro torpedoes nnd "a
most efficient nrmor-plcrcmg Bhell,"
h Describing tho battle, lie refers to the j
separation 01 1110 xjrmau uitiuu iiwl
from the battlo cruiser squadrons, duo
tor the cruisers "having been engaged
'several hours, with repeated change, of
course, with the consequence that Instead
of encountering tho enemy right ahead,
,the Grand Fleet "raised the foe on the
jstarboard bow.
J Admiral Jelllcoe deployed on the port
"wing division, thus compelling tho Ger
man a to turn off to starboard to avoid
being crossed. This maneuver, des
Jcrlbcd as masterly by rclewors, threw
tthe enemy Into complete confusion. Tho
?Gorman commander-in-chief, profiting
iby his superiority In torpedo craft, low
visibility, approaching darkness ana tno
proximity or nis pases ana mine neias,
escaped.
The enemy at thl3 period fired hun
dreds of torpedoes, as German officers
'since havo stated, Admiral Jcllcoo con
tinues, nnd although tho Germans were
ln the gravest peril, tho position of tho
Grand Fleet Itself was menaced by do
term'ned torpedo attacks In thick
weather.
Changed Battle Line Four Times
I But tho British fleet, by turning Its
ibattle line four times In the action, the
(Admiral says, got clear of the torpedoes
'racing toward tho British ships.
L,Vdm,lral Jelllcoe explains that ho did
not seek night action because tho Ger
mans had moro powerful searchlights,
superiority In destroyers and a greater
number of torpedo tubes fitted in the
$fcmy ships.
AyAfCer estimating the relative strength
dffthe two fleets early In the war, Ad
Afmlral Jelllcoe expresses amazement that
tho Germans were so cptlous, nnd says:
"If this country, In tho future, de
cided to rely for, safety against raids
or Invasion on the fleet alone, It is es
, sentlal that we possess a considerably
greater margin of superiority over a
possible enemy In all classes of vessels
than wo dH In August, 1914."

acknowledged the oatlon ghen him.
Tho ote against him probably came

FRESH INTRIGUES
BY KAISER SEEN
Count Hohenzollern Re
ported in Touch With
Former Supporters
HAS SECRET COUNCILS
Two Secretaries of German
Legation at The Hague
Visit Exile
By the Associated Press
Ameronien, Feb. 8 (delayed). There
have been various Indications during
the last week that Count Hohenzollern,
the former German" Emperor, Is main
taining communication with hls former
supporters.
The secretaries of the German lega
hlgh functlonafy of the old Imperial
tlon at The Hague, ICoester and Schlel
bach, visited the castle at Amerongcn,
and stayed over night, having a long
conference with Count Hohenzollern nnd
Hani von Gontard, the sole remalnjng
court, who remains faithful to the
former Emperor.
Last night Baroness von Rosen, the
Engll'h wife of the German minister to
'.fie Netherlands, arrived, and she Is still
at tho castle today.
The object of these meetings cannot
be ascertained, as everything Is kept
secret under the influence of Herr on
Gontard, who declines ft permit any of
his powers to be taken from his hands.
With him Is a minor functionary of the
former German court, Counclller Knauft.
Herr von Gontard is the only member
of Count Hohenzollern's suite to lodge
at the castle. General von Ksdorff, Cap
tain von Ilsemann and Doctor Korster,
who Is In attendance on the former
Empress, have rented a house outBlde.
Further departures of the former Em.
peror's domestics occurred during the
last week, some of them, howeer. being
replaced by new arrivals from Berlin.
The German Government has glen no
tice to all State servants In attendance
on the former Emperor and his wife that
they must place themselves at the dis
posal of the government by April 1 or
forfeit all claims for pensions. Vountess
Keller still remains with the former
Empress.
nerne, Feb. 12. (By A. P.) German
officers Interned In Switzerland cele
brated the birthday of the former
Kaiser nt Lucerne, nil of them drinking
to his health, his early return to Ger
many and restoration to his former pow
er. They then drafted a telegram to
Amerongen which Is said to have been
so insulting to the Entente nations that
tho telegraph office refused to accept It.
4 Russian Factions
Will Meet Allies
Continued from rare One
great earnestness, and some emotlorf
was shown when It was maintained in
reply that his proposal. If ndopted, would
be unconstitutional In some countries. M.
Bourgeois, however, continued to sup
port his amendment In an argument of
nearly two hours. It was finally decided
to refer the amendment and all other de
tails to a drafting committee consisting
of Lord Cecil, for England; Professor
Larnaude, for France; M. Vesnltch, for
Serbia, and Mr. Venlzelos, for Greece.
They hope at a meeting today to recon
cile differences and to report at the next
meeting on Thursday.' It will then be
necessary for the commission to approve
or reject this report. Whether all this
can be accomplished In the last days of
the week Is doubtful.
Some Expect Adjustment
One member of the drafting committee
said last night, however, that chances
were reasonably good for reaching a
favorable adjustment, and he expressed
the belief that Premier Clemenceau of
France would exercise Influence In so
curing a satisfactory conclusion.
The Supreme Council gave Its atten
tion yesterday to Belgium, hearing Mm.
Hymans, Vandenhcuvel and Vander
veldo on Belgian claims for an Interna
tional readjustment and for changes In
the treaty of 1839 delimiting the fron
tiers of Belgium and providing that It
be a perpetually neutral State. It was
this treaty which was declared to be
a "scrap of paper" when Belgium was
Invaded.
The modifications which nre now
asked are, first, freedom of commerce
through the Lower Scheldt, leading from
Antwerp to the sea, either by the In.
ternatlonallzntion of the river or the
acquisition by Belgium of Its left bank;
second, the cession of the province of
Southern Llmburg In Holland, for de
fensive purposes; third, the amalgama
tion of the Duchy of Luxemburg, pre
ferably by assent of the people.
Urge Old Treaty Changed
While some of these questions affect
neutral and friendly Powers not repre
sented at the conference, yet Belgium
maintained that the word readjustment
now being effected should provide a rec
tification of the old treaty.
It Is believed that a special commis
sion will be appointed to study Belgian
claims, as has been done In the con-
For Immediate
Delivery
slderatlon of the territorial problems,
say a Havas report.
In addition to Marshal Foch, Marshal
Petaln and Field Marshal Halg, General
Pershing and General Diaz will be pres
ent at today's session of the Supreme
War Council to deal with the terms for
tho renewal of the armistice.
A statement Issued by the official
bureau explains that tho Bupreme eco
nomic council Is not to be confused wltth
tho economic commission of the Peace
Conference. The supremo economic coun.
ell will decide economic questions during
the armistice. The economic commis
sion will advise the Peaco Conference
on economic questions In connection with
the peace terms.
The new terms for the nrmlstlce with
Oermany were still under discussion, lost
night at a protracted session held at
the home of Marshal Foch. The whole
subject has been referred to a special
armistice committee, composed of mili
tary and civilian members from each
of the' great Powers. The American
members are General Bliss and Normal
Davis of the United States treasury.
The latter Is associated In the commit
tee with Albert Strauss, vice chairman
of the Federal Iteserve Board.
The presence of the latter Indicates
that financial terms form an Important
part of the discussion. Mr. Strauss
nnd Thomas W. Lamont are expected to
be appointed members of the newly cre
ated Supreme Economic Council, but no
Ldeslgnatlons have been made as yet for
this body, nor has the American mem
bership on tbhe permanent armistice
tribunal been announced.
JUGOSLAVS REQUEST
WILSON TO MEDIATE
By the Associated Press
Fart. Feb. 12, President Wilson has
received n note signed by N. 1. Pach
Itch, tho former Serbian Premier; M.
Trutnhllch, president of the Jugo-Slav
committee In Tarls, nnd Dr. M, It. Ves
nltch, Serbian Minister to France, the
three Jugo-Slav delegates to the Peace
Conference, asking him to act ns
arbltrater In their differences with Italy
regarding tho frontier along Istrla and
the Adriatic. This Is In consequence of
the President's last Interview on this
question with M. Trumbltch and 1'iemler
Orlando, of Italy. M. Trumbltdli
claimed all of Istrla, Flume and Dal
inatla. President Wilson expressed to Tremler
Orlando the opinion that nn agreement
might he reached giving to the Jugo
slavs the eastern part of the peninsula
of Istrla, Dalmatla nnd by making Flume
i n free city. Premier Orlnndo said that
I Italy could not possibly renounce im
I claims to Fiumo w Ithout the risk of
j ery grave trouble.
I President Wilson, not wishing the
Peace Conference to be confronted with
the necessity of making a decision that
might deeply wound either side, sug
gested thnt the Italians and the Jugo
! Slavs discuss their differences and If
, they could not ngree, that they should
submit tho disputed points to arbltra
1 tlon,
j Opposed to Arbitration
Premier Orlando answered that he
thought arbitration was the proper thing
beforo tho war, but not after the long
j conflict that had ended with the defeat
of the enemy and the occupation of the
iciiiiuiica u(miiiic-u. tie uuut.il mm lie
would consider the suggestion and dis
cuss It with his colleagues on the Italian
delegation.
No decision Is expected from the
Italians until after President Wilsbn re.
turns from America, ni Premier Orlando,
Baron Salandra nnd Slgnor Barzllal nro
lealng for Italy tomorrow to attend
the reopening of Parliament,
Meanwhile, another Italian territorial
question has arisen. Italy, at tho sug
gestion of England and In accord with
France, has decided to occupy with mili
tary forces Achilla, and Konleh, In tne
vilayet of Konleh. in Asia Minor, south
of the territory claimed by Greece, hav
ing Smyrna as Us center.
Italy May Get Mandate
The Greek premier, M. Venlzelos, also
looks with favor upon the presence of
Italians In Asia Minor on condition that
the Islands of Dodecanaeus (Sporades)
be transferred to Greece, excepting per
haps, Stampalla, tho smallest of the
group, which Italy may keep as a naal
station.
Two Italian divisions have been or.
dercd to Rhodes to Join another di
vision already there and the whole force
will cross to Adalla as soon as the for
malities with Great Britain are com
pleted. Italian troops are to occupy Baku n'nd
Batoum, on the Black Sea, also. Italy
will ask for a concession of the mined
of Haracleum, the largest in the Near
East, located In the vilayet of Ctocta

How many hours a day is

your haulage costs.,
The greatest obstacle in the way of showing large .
savings on motor truck haulage is delay.
To keep the truck moving as steadily as the hands
of the clock is the great object towards which every
motor truck owner should work.
Delay come from two
sources from the truck it
telf, and from imperfect op

methods.
In purchasing a Clydetdole

a society of nations and arranging tho

many for a lenewal of tho armistice, ex
piring next Monday, other subjects of
tho greatest Importance await consld

them, howexer, and will pass most of
them on to the society of nations, when
the latter has been created.
Foremost on this secondary program

mission on International labor legisla
tion. Samuel (Jompers, the chnlrman,
ha been pushing the work. It Is ex
pected ho will have a report rendv for
tho conference ns oon as it Is ready to

Thero havo been difficulties in recon

American labor Interests, ns each Is

Fervatlvo In others. It ii said the dif

acceptance of the principle of Interna

paved the way for ultimate agreement In
the commission upon a report which will
probably be received with approval by

France and America! out of the
fineness, and the greatness of these, comes
the Pathe. The intense, creative artistry
of France plus the efficient productive
genius of America a blending of oppo
sites (yet so alike in ideals) has given to
the world its greatest phonograph.
A Pathe in your home will make your
welcome all the warmer when your "Boy"
from "Over There" realizes that some
thing of France is here to greet him.
