SIR ERIC GEDDES SPEECH. Thocan the silence with which the Navy performs its arduous and responsible task is an eloquent proof of efficiency, there is a danger that it may be mistaken for inactivity, especially when the enemy, lying in wait behind its land defences, seizes a fleeting opportunity to carry out one of its tip-and-run expeditions. On such occasions there is a tendency to

Russia could not be relied upon to furnish fael, ammunition or stores, and as every supply ship would have to pass within thirty miles of Kiel only small portion would get through unless powerful forces were detached to protect them. Nor is there any doubt that Ger- many would promptly seize the islands which command the entrance to the Baltic and fortify them in our rear. The fact that they belong to Denmark, a neutral Power, would present no obstacle to those who violated Bạlgium on the pretext that necessity knows no law."
