ILE OF JUTLAND REATEST VIGTORY firmed England’s Supremacy, | Says First Lord Balfour ndon, Aug. 4.—The lAdmiralty, A. J. First Lord of Balfour, has d a statement for publication, in pourse of which he he second anniversary of the sh declaration of war provides a for a survey val situation.

The Germans claim Jutland as ictory, but in essence they admit contrary, since the object of a al battle is to obtain command of sea; and it is certain that Ger- Inv has not obtained that command, le Great Britaln has not lost it. | fts of this assertion are easy to y.

It kept safe in harbor while the subma- rine warfare went on merrily outside. They knew that submarines cannot be brought to action by battle cruisers. They thought, there- fore, that to these new commerce de- stroyers our merchant ships must fall n prey, unprotected by our ships of war and unable to protect themselves, “They were wrong in both respects, ind doubtless it is their wrath at the skill and energy with which British merchant captains and British crews have defended the lives and property | under their charge that has driven | the German admiralty into their lat- | est and stupidest act o icalculated ferocity—the judiclal murder of Cap- could be battleships or | casy | tain Fryatt.

It | flowed from a different source. They | knew that Captain Fryatt was doing his duty and they resolved at all costs to discourage imitation. ‘What blunderers they are! They | know how to manipulate machines, | but of managing men they know less | than nothing. They are always wrong | because they always suppose that if | they behave like brutes they can cow their enemies into behaving like cow- ards. Small is their knowledge of our merchant seamen. I doubt whether one can be found who has not re- solved to defend himself to the last against piratical attack. But if there is such a one, depend upon it, he will be cured by the last exhibition of German civilization. And what must neutrals think o fal Ithis? “The freedom of the sea means to Germany that the German Navy is to behave at sea as the German Army behaves on land. It means that nei- civillang nor neutrals may possess rights against militant Germany; that those who do not re- sist will be drowned, and those who do will be shot. “Already 244 neutral mercheantmen have been sunk in deflance of law and humanity, and the number dally grows. Mankind, with the experi- ence of two years of war behind it has made up its mind about German culture. It is not, I think, without material for forming a judgment about German freedom.’ “While in the first year of the bin fleet, Mr. Balfaur points to the er-increasing flow of men and mu- fons from England pouring across | e Channel to France | “It has reached colossal propor- | ms he continues. “Its effects on | e war may well be decisive. Yet| bver has it been mare sccure from | tack Dby enemy battleships or ujsers than it has been since the erman ‘victory’ of Jutland.” | “The first lord refers to German ex- prtations to look at the map and see e extent of German successes, and fids: “That depends on what maps pu take. Even the map of Burope ows an ever-shrinking bzattle line. | fut look at the map of the world. All | Germany’s colonies are gone except | ast Africa, which even as I write feras slipping from her grasp. Has e battle of Jutland opened the allest prospect of Germany regain- z these colonies or giving a mo- hent’s respite to the hard-pressed col- nists in German Bast Africa.” Fallure of Submarines. Mr. Balfour advises thoso requiring lurther proofs of the value the Ger- jhans attach to their ‘viciorious fleet” o study the German policy of subma- ine warfare, and says: “The advantage of submarine at. acks on commerce is that they can- ot be controlled by superior fleet bower in the same way as attacks by ruisers; a disadvantage is that they annot be carried out on a large scale ponsistently with the laws of war or he requirements of humanity.

Merchantmen owned by the Allles therefore during the two years violated in the grossest manner the rules of international law no less than fifty-eight times agalnst our submarines. This can be proved up to the hilt. “The warships of Germany’s en- emies during the war have violated the law of nations in three particu- larly extreme cases, namely, the Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse, the Dres- den, and the Albatross. Two cases, the Baralong and the King Stephen, must be characterized not only as vio- latlons of the law of nations end a breach of the most ordinary tenets of humanity, but as common murder. Countless cases in which British war- ships have violated international Jaw in their conduct against merchantmen owned by the central powers or neu- trals cannot be enumerated.” “During the second year of the war the British and their allies lobt 22 warships of a total of 266,320 tons and Germany and her allies 10 war- ships of 82,210 tons. The total losses for the two years of the war are: Great Britain and her allles, 49 ships of 562,250 tons and Germany and her allies, 30 ships of 191,321 tons. Of these losses Bngland alone had 40 ships of 485,220 tons and Germany alone 25 ships of 162,676 tons. “The Britlsh losses comprised 11 battleships, 17 armored cruisers, and 12 protected cruisers. The battle- ships include the Audacious, the loss of which has not yet been officially announced, and a ship of the Queen Elizabeth class. The cruisers include the still contested loss of the Tiger and the destruction of an armored crulser of the Cressy class on the night of May 31, which was estab- lished by observations from almost the entire German fleet, and two amall cruisers, in the battle of the Skager- ralk. “Furthermore, during the year pre- ceding June 30, enemy merchant- men of-a total of 1,816,682 gross tons were lost as a consequence of war measures of the . Central Powers, which brings the total for the war up to July 1 1,302 enemy merchant- men of 2,574,205 tons, not including enemy merchantmen confiscated in the harbors of the central powers. “The total result of the two years war for England and her allles is a loss in material and prestige whieh cannot he made good. This great and unexpected success of the German fleet and confederated naval forces deserves the more consideration be- cause the strength of warships afloat or under construction at the begin- ning of the war for the enemy fleets was 443 vessels of 5,428,000 tons, ex- cluding auxillary cruisers, destrovers, submarines, and other armed craft of which England alone had far more than 2,000 in service. Against these vessels Germany and her allies could oppose 156 similar ships of 1,651,000 tons. The central powers therefore, have inflicted on an enemy three and a third times stronger than them losses in large warships almost triple to thelfr own.” .
