The German fleet soon begin guerrilla tactics against the British Navy, says Admiral Wilhelm Prent- zel, writing in "Volkischer Beobachter."

Prentzel does not indicate whether the guerrilla attacks will include at- tempted running raids against convoys.

He declares that Germany definitely will not risk a large-scale naval action. "Sea battles on the scale of Jutland will not occur in this war," he says.
