THE GERMAN NAVY
CHANGE OF HEADQUARTERS. POSSIBLE INTERPRETATIONS. (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) BERLIN, February 25. (Received Feb. 2G, at 11 p.m.) Though it means only 14 hours’ steaming to reach the North Sea, it is felt that to-day’s transfer of the German fleet’s headquarters from Wilhelmshaven to Kiel is an event of considerable importance, especially minimising French fears of Germany’s ultimate fleet of six “ pocket ” battleships. It may also' be interpreted as a German resolve not to allow Russia to dominate the Baltic. ' Other comments regard it as a defensive gesture/in answer to an unconfirmed report of the conclusion of f a ■ Franco-Danish agreement, but the most outstanding impression is that it is Germany’s final, renunciation of the North Sea.
