THE BRITISH NAVY.
LORD JELLICOE AND HIS CRITICS.
(Australian and N.Z. Cable Association) LONDON, Feb. 14.
Lord Jellicie, in a brief reply to critics, says that when he was at the Admiralty prior to the war, he constantly informed the Government of the Navy's needs. It was a question of money. Germany had a superior armorpiercing shell because: she had the necessary steel.
LONDON, Feb., W. It is asserted that at about the time when Lord Jellicoe, in the Jutland battle, headed the battleships from the enemy in order to avoid a school of torpedoes, Sir David Beatty signalled the nearest battleship of the division a suggestion that the admiral should follow him in order to annihilate the enemy.
