SEVERE LOSS TO NAVY

The Passing Of Sir Charles Madden

Though he had retired from active service five years ago, the death of Admiral Sir Charles Mad- Iden is a severe loss to the Royal

Navy.

He was frequently consulted by the Admiralty after his retirement. Lord Jellicoe paid a high tribute to him when he said, after Jutland, that "his judgment was never at fault."
