ADMIRAL BACON'S BOOK
LONDON, Oct. 14.
(Received Oct. 15, at 11.55 p.m.) "The greatest admiral of modern times, a tactician second to none in olden or modern times," is the description applied to Earl Jellicoe by Admiral Sir R. H. Bacon in his " Life of Earl Jellicoe," published by Cassell. Admiral Bacon says: "The result of Jutland was that the German High Sea Fleet remained in harbour and watched us transport without interruption millions of men and millions of tons of ammunition and stores to whatever part of the globe we wished to deliver them. The Germans a.t all events knew in June, 1916, that their fleet was beaten, and the great torpedo ofTensive bv which they hoped lo defeat the British Fleet failed."
