STILL MOBILISED
THE BRITISH FLEET OFFICIAL CIRCLES SURPRISED ROYAL PROCLAMATION NECESSARY United Press Assn. —Elec. Tel. Copyright; LONDON, Oct. 28 The Australian Associated Press says the Cabinet, overburdened with urgent problems arising from the crisis, apparently has forgotten to demobilise the Fleet. Official circles expressed surprise when their attention was drawn to the fact that the Fleet is still technically on a war footing. If this were an oversight it was possibly due to the fact that the Admiralty has not been represented in the Cabinet since Mr Duff-Cooper’s resignation. It so far has escaped the notice of both the British and German press. Naval circles state that a fresh proclamation by the King is necessary for the cancellation of the mobilisation order issued on .September 28.
