BRITISH FLEET PROOF AGAINST SUBMARINES.
IMPRESSIONS OF AMERICAN WAR CORRESPONDENT.
(Received October 17, 7.20 p.m.)
New York, October 16
Writing in Collier's Weekly, Mr. Frederick" Palmer describes the visit he was permitted to make to the British fleet in the North Sea. A destroyer placed at his disposal journeyed from an unnamed port to serried lines of Dreadnoughts. He declares that he is able to convince America that the fleet is absolutely submarine-proof. He .cannot say all he was permitted to see and learn, but if people are worrying about torpedoes menacing British warships they may dismiss their fears. The article supplies strong confirmation, of the fleet's power at any time to accomplish its primary objective, and of the immense reserves of strength available for almost any conceivable emergency. Mr. Palmer pays a tribute to British ships, armament,
and men.
