LORD JEILLICOE'S MISGIVINGS.
NAVY IS BEING SLOWLY ABOLISHED. (By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright.) (Received This Day, 12.45 p.m.) LONDON, April 29. Viscount Jellicoe, speaking at London University, expressed strong misgivings regarding the present strength of the Navy in cruisers, destroyers and submarines. That a desperate position did not arise in the submarine warfare of 1917 was entirely due to the Navy having a sufficiency of vessels to support, the merchant convoys. If aircraft were going to bomb cities in any future war, it can be expected that submarines will carry on unrestricted warfare despite all treaties. It must be difficult for the naVyl, seeing itself slowly wiped out of existence, to re-* tain its efficiency.
