AFTER JUTLAND.
“JELLICOE WAS AFRAID.” BERLIN, November 15. After the Battle of Jutland Admiral Jellicoe was afraid to come out again, according to a new German version of the ‘‘hard-earned German victory” at Jutland. It says that the High Seas fleet sought another battle but Jellicoe avoided it. The story is in the latest volume of German naval history, which says that Jutland gave a decided impulse to the German High Seas fleet, and this found expression in the sallies to sea in August and October, 1916. The August sally resulted in the sinking of tw'o British cruisers. It was only by chance that it did not result in a decisive battle. The sinkings, the. German historian argues, persuaded Jellicoe that even greater discretion was advisable than he had shown previously. Thus, when the German High Seas fleet went to sea in October, it failed to make contact with the British Grand Fleet, which, although aware of the German sortie, remained at anchor.
