VON TIRPITZ. DEAD.

MAN WHO FAVOURED THE SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN.

Munich, Mar. 6.

The death has occurred of Admiral Von Tirpitz-Reuter.

Alfred Friedrich von Tirpitz, the German. Admiral, was born in March, 1849, the son of a lawyer, and entered the navy in April 1865. By 1888 he had attained the rank of Captain, in 1903 he became an Admiral, and in 1911 Grand Ad-

miral.

In 1897 he had been appointed Secretary of State to the Admiralty, next year he became a Prussian Minister, and in 1900 he was en- nobled.

His name is inseparably connect-

miral von Capelle. Tirpitz claimed that he would have gone into the U-boat warfare earlier and more relentlessly, but his adversaries charged him with having neglected to provide an adequate force of submarines.

After the revolution, Tirpitz was one of the scapegoats. He was paval blamed for fostering the policy that led to the war and for having helped to prolong it. He therefore lived in Switzerland till calm was restored. In May, 1924, he was elected to the Reichstag by the Nationalists, but the attempt of his party to form a Cabinet under his leadership was defeated by the opposition of the Centre and the

Democrats.

His Reminiscences.

At the end of 1926, Tirpitz 1883. ed a volume of reminiscences in which he declared that Wilhelm II was to blame for Germany's failure to send her fleet into action -until it was too late, and for her "pualle

Lord Haldane's view was that it was Tirpitz who was against any agreement, while Bethmann-Holl- weg would have been in favour of it. Tirpitz declared that his idea was to make Germany so strong at sea as to be able to insist on Bri- tain co-operating with her in her policy abroad.

The Late War. Immediately after the outbreak of the war, Tirpitz urged prompt and energetic action by the German fleet and asked the Kaiser on July 29, 1914, to give him the strategic direction of the navy His re- quest, however, was refused. and his further attempts to have the flect brought into action were with- out avail.

An amusing estimate of Tirpitz is given in a characteristic letter which Admiral Lord Fisher wrote him on his resignation in March, 1916.
