. LONDON Feb.. 13. The- dangers to
which' -the British grand fleet short
of cruisers destroyers and with de-
fenseless . bases was exposed during
the first two years and half of the wac
owing to the German use of submarines-

ed in a . book written Jby Admiral Vis-

' Admiral Jellicoe points out that the.

the submarine menace the .grand fleet

hV-hich .in 1.01C would halve bcQn most
I unwise.
j "If the C.ornian fleet had come out
to 'liatlle a terrible punishment await
ed them."
One third of the admiral's book is
devoted to the battle of Jutland. In
(summing up the. lessons of the battle
Admiral Jellicoe dwells upon "the
danger Involved in leaving too much
to chance in fleet action because our
fleet -was the one and only factor vital
tq the existence of tho empire and. in-
deed to the allied cause.
"We had no reserve outside the hat-
jtle fleet which could In-any way re

"j Admiral Jellicoe says he knew his
ships were inadequate! v protected with

yeapels of the battle cruiser type while
the German fleet in the battle of Jut-
land was. far better off in the number
of destroyers. In addition the Gerr
mans possessed "a most efficient ar.
;mor piercing shell."
After estimating the relative
strength of the two fleets early in the
war Admiral Jellicoe expressed that
i the Germans were so cautious. and
says:
"If 'this country in the future de
cides to rely for safety; against raids
or invasion on tho fleet alone it is es
sential that we possess a considera
bly greater margin of superiority-over
a possible enemy in all classes of ves
sols" than we did in August. 1914."
