IF WAR GAME.

ENGLAND’S ACTIONS PROPHESIED. BY A GERMAN ADMIRAL. HOW THE RIVAL NAVIES WOULD ACT. (Times-Sydney Sun' Special Service.) (By Telegraph.) BERLIN, February 15. Admiral Breusing, lecturing on the strategy of an Anglo-German naval war, asserted that the British Admiralty at present favoured a close blockade, the primary object being to safeguard England from starvation. England, had only sufficient corn for a few months, and must therefore keep her sea routes open. This would be difficult to accomplish, as the German submarines and torpedo boats, based upon Heligoland, could frustrate it by laying mines, while the fast cruisers could break the North Sea blockade, and, by action with the German allies in tiie Mediterranean, menace England’s imports. The future of the German people rested entirely on the navy. Twenty years hence Germany would bo unable to feed her people with her own produce, and would be compelled to import, and 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.
