Renter's Telegrams.
LONDON", February 17. Admiral Sir Hedwortli Mens. M.P.. addressing his constituents at Portsmouth referred to the movement to bring back Lord Fisher to deal with Ihe submarine menace. He declared that if Lord Fisher bad wanted to stop the Dardanelles expedition he could have done so by threatening to resign. Admiral Mens said he knew what the feeling of the Grand Fleet is. It would be an absolute disaster to the Navy if Lord Fisher wore hroueht back. People disliked Lord Fisher's society because he went about boasting of the number of officers he had ruined. Jt was necessary to say these things, Admiral Meux continued, otherwise an intrude would _ continue to centre round Lord Fisher's name.
