REVELATIONS ABOUT THE GERMAN FLEET. ORDERS OF THE KAISER. The Gerinan book of revelatioris has just been cariched by another important chapter. This is a little volume publish- ed by the widow of Admiral ven Pohl, who, after serving as Chief of the Ad mirilty Staff at the beginning of the war, was appointed to the command of the High Seas Fleet in February, 1915, and held that post till his fatal illness in the following January. What Fra von Pohl offers us is a collection of extracts from her, husband's diaries and letters without any kind of commentary or in- terpretation, but her object is to clear his memory from the slur left upon it by the attacks of Admiral von Tirpitz Her book has an historical value in showing how the differences of opinion and dis- sensions in the control of the German flea were exacerbated by the battle of Heligo land.
The result of this engagement brought to a crisis the conflict of view as to the tactica to be followed by the Ger- man naval forces, and also seems th
have been the first factor seriously to discredit Von Tirpitz's policy of cultivating battle- ships and neglecting the smaller types of war craft. On the margin of the report on the battle the Kaiser wrote: fleet has become too confident through the inactivity of the English, who have made good use of the weather. Such surprises must not occur again."

It cost Von Pohl, some trouble to get this order modified into a formy, more com plimentary to the flex On the following day, however, the Kaiser, who was very nervous about the fate of his ships, gave the command, "No aggressive action till I order it." Voc Pohl, Yon Tirpitz, and Von Molike were all of opinion that this command would paralyse the initiative of Admiral Ingenñohl, the then commander of the High Sens" Fleet, and the Chief of the Admiralty Staff seems to have taken upon himself to suppress it. Or rather, be considered that it was suff ciently clearly expressed in a pessage towook of the Steamer's arrival here, after which be obtained the Kaiser's agreement, which they cannot be recognized recommending "cautious reserve in face of superior hostile forces, so that the object of our operations, the, poncentra tion of all our forces for a decisive battle, may not be imperilled by premature Josans."

From this point the conflict at head quarters on the question of tactics was incessant. Bethmann-Hollweg continu- ally urged that the feet should be kept intact for peace negotiations. ΤΟΣ Tirpitz, who made no secret of his con viction that the Chancellor wanted to. sacrifice the feet in a naval agreement with Great Britain. was all for seeking a big naval engagement, though when ques tioned by Von Pobl he could never say how this was to be brought about with any chance of success for Germany. Von Pobl himalt held a middle course. advocating caution and reserve as the dominating principle, coupled with the prompt utiliation of all-favourable-BOMBY, opportunities of striking a damaging blow,

There is not room for both Tirpitz and me in the navy, and as he will apparently stay I shall have to go. Besides, I bave done enough, and have the right to rest. The war is making great demanda on me, General von Y. said to me once as we were dining together the Hotel Brasseur at Luxemburg, that he could not, converse with Tirpitz, who always spoke to him too much like a schoolmaster. He played the schoolmaster at every meal, and all Silk and Vainable Cargo for Italy, France his remarks contained condemnation of and London (under #77agement) will be the conduct of the war and belittling conveyed by this Steamer proceeding of my activity.

He has not London. a trace of comradeship, and just as little does he understand how to carry on war. He looks it everything from the stand point of his own person.
For years the Admiralty staff has fought for other times. After the war the Admiralty staff and tho active fect will again come to their rights. All the proposals as to types of ship which I have made since I have been chief of the Admiralty, staff, and which have been rejected by him, will have to be r considered after the war. Since 1901. Tirpitz alone has decided as to the types LA of ships. Now the whole conduct of war is suffering under that. Only to-day his Majesty wrote on a telegraphíc report of the last fight of the Emden, in which
the superiority of the hostile artillery (fifteen centimetre) was emphasised
