The long-promised official nar rative of the Battle of Jutland was published in book form in Mail wook by the Stationery Office. It is a well-produced volume of just over a hundred pages, and no fewer than forty five diagrame are used to ill- untrato the positions of the units of the Floot in the course of the battle.

The narrative is based on tho despatches of the admirals and reports of individual ships, and

Jellicou, the thon Commander-in- Chief has best, used to supplo- ment these despatches, as huvo s valuable collection of personal narratives, largely based on notos. mado during the action, compiled by-biente H. W Fawbott and a. W. W. Hoopor

It is pointed out in the introduc- thon that the 'Batile of Jurland must appear, to any

gray mass of ships mau- Douvring in and out of the battle Binoko with no possibility of ascortaining their movements with clear and definito precision. To attempt to do so in certainly no light task. The official reports of individual captains reprosent only an effort, often necessarily hasty, to reduce the observations of a number of observers into one story: and similarly the dospatches of the Admirals' can bo regarded only as a provisional attempt to reduce the reports' of individual captains to a singlo focus. .

Lord Jellicou Expressen lalb sincere regret at finding hinirolf compullad to express dissent in any form, but considered it his duty to draw attention to a few! of the most important passages) with which he is still unable to agroe. The Admiral's first two points of oriticism as made in the

who ho assorts, lies under the insinuation by the narrative of being responsible for delay in the Fifth Battle Squadron coming into uction. Admiral. Jellicoo desoribes the signals which, he points out, were made by flags. He contends that those signals) were quite naturally not easily distinguishukte.

Undor Paragraph 11, Adınira)! Jellicoe endeavours to show the Thu difficulties arising from roceipt of the various reports. He says: Up to 5,50 p.m. the oarlior reports had led ma to expect to reach the enemy's battle fleet ahead, this expecta- tion hoing based on a mean of reports from Lion and Southamp

ton.

I should not for. & moment have rolled on Admiralty in- formation of the enemy in pro- forence to roports from ' ships which actually sighted him or even had attached squal weight to such reports."

The Admiral assorts that many points are partially correct only. or for other reasons misleading, and gives a lengthy account of the information availablo as to the position of the German high. son floot in the night after the second engagemont with the Fenemy. He also says that the narrative fails to give a trua ides of the confusion caused by con- tradictory, reports, the offect of which was falt throughout the action

Their lordships follow Lord Jallicoo's comtuont with copious footnotes. Thoy express 'thoir! satisfaction that the compllors of the narrativo have kept to the

that facts, and

where the Admiral's account differs from the Admirally narrative the lattor is more in accordance with the evidonoo availablo,
