NAVAL STRATEGY.
IF ANGLO-GERMAN WAR BROKE OUT.
GERMAN ADMIRAL'S VIEW
(Press Assn.— By Telegraph— Copyright.) (London Times-Sydney Sun Special Cables) (Received Feb. 16, 8.30 a.m.) BERLLN, February 15. Admiral Breusing, lecturing on strategy m an Anglo-German naval war, asserted that tho British Admiralty at present favored a close blockade, the primary object being to safeguard England from starvation. England had oidy sufficient corn for a month, and must keep the sea routes open, which would be diffi6ult to accomplish. German submarines and torpedo boats based upon Heligoland could frustrate the laying of mines, while fast cruisers could break tlie North Sea blockade, and an action with the German allies m the Mediterranean would menace England's imports. The future of the German people rested entirely on the navy. Twenty years hence Germany would be unable to feed her people with her own produce and would be compelled to import. If she had not an adequate navy she would become England's vassal. Her place was neither before nor behind England, but at her side.
