JUTLAND AGAIN
—~ ►- — RECORD OF THE BATTLE ADMIRALTY BLUE BOOK CRJTrCISM DISARMED .(■United Press Association.—Copyright.) (A.P.A. and "Sun.") (Beceived 2nd June, 1 p.i£) LONDON, Ist June. The narrative of the Battle of Jutland, officially published in 1924, is now followed by a Blue Book entitled "Beprodnotion of the Eecord of the Battle of Jutland." Prepared by Captain, now Bear-Admiral Harper, and other officers. By direction of the Admiralty in 1919----20." The criticism upon the delay in publishing this record' was recently revived by the publication.; of Admiral Harper's book, "The Truth about Jutland," whose object, the author avows, is the Scotch legend of an "Inco-jpet-ent Jellicoe." The Blue Book is, in the words of an explanatory note by the Admiralty, "nothing more than a record in chronological eequence of the movements of the various British squadrons and represents the first stage in the preparation of a history of the battle." The note adds: "It must be clearly understood, that this is not to be regarded as an official report. The object of their Lordships by now authorising publication is to dispel the idea that any mystery, sensational evidence, or criticism is contained therein.
