VON TIRPITZ ON JUTLAND,
THE GERMAN DREAM,
The second instalment of Von' Tirpitsh memoirs appearing in "the Sunday Timée | exhibits the Grand Admiral as a shaly disappointed man. Incidentally, it pro vides an account of the Battle of Jutland, which differs somewhat from that usually accepted in this country. He tells how Admiral Bchoor "hastened to the con dict at top spood," and proceeds :** The English admiral, gradually altering his northerly to an easterly course, forced the bead of our line she to tarn. After having destroyed in a few minates the battle-cruiser Invincible and two armour. ed cruisers of the Farrior class, which had just come up, oaz leading ships and denly came upon the main body of the English fleet, deployed in a long line, 'and lying in haze and mist Heavy fire, was at once opened upon us from all these ships together:: "
The situation had thus become by. accident, tactically very disadvantageous for us. Not only would our ships have had to deploy under the fire of the whole enemy fleet in order to gain a good tacti- cal position, but the light was such that the German ships were silhouetted against the evening sky in the west, thus presenting, in the occasional moments of Food visibility, admirable objects for artillery observation; while, on the other hand, the haze to the east so obscured the bulls of the Britisa ships that their posi- tion was hardly to be discerned save by. the flashes of their guns. Admiral Scheer escaped from a position which had be come dangerous by turning his feet toge ther, a manoeuvre which few fleets in the world would have succeeded in carrying a rain of fire. As soon as be
cuted bis fleet he swung
bad cace again on the enemy to attack. But the approach of night make any carefully planned battle formation impossible. If the English at this stage of the fight had lelt at all superior to they would have clung to our fleet in all circumstances; for, seeing that we had with us a squadron of older vessels of the pre-Dreadnought period, whereas
