Changes, Expected At Birtish Admiralty

A shake-up of the High Command of the Navy is believed to be im- minent, with the aim of putting up stronger eompaign against U-boats nad other commerce raiders.

With Brilish ships going down at the rate of 4,000,000 tons a year, the protection of commerce routes and the nequisition of new tonnage be- Pomen Britain's most urgent pro- hlem.

Parliament and the Prest are d“. manding more energetic counter-men- sures. Some newspapers forecast a naval shake-up including the p- placement of Admiral Sir Dudley Pound, First Sea Lord, by a younge oflcer.

A minor shake-up was achieved several weeks ago when Admiral John C. Tovey was appointed Com- mander-in-Chief of the Home Fleet, succeeding Admiral Sir Charles Forbes.
