It would seem ', far more likely, the first duty of Britain being to destroy the German fleet,' that both the army and navy should be employed with that end n view. This could be done by opera- tions directed against the Kiel canal. If the German fleet does not take refuge there in force, iL must run the chance of being caught in squadrons at isolated naval bases, where each division might be cooped up and rendered impotent. It, for greater safety, the fleet were {1 concentrated at the canal by means|lt of which it could pass from the Baltic to the North Sea without running between Denmark and Sweden, Bri-| tish and Russian troops could be | janded in force under the protection of the combined Russian and British |i fleets, and a determined effort be made. to destroy the canal, if not to capture it along with the war vessels, Sandicap in a landlocked harbor. Of course, it ig a well-known maxim of naval strategy that naval force must is be an overwhelming strength before an invading foree is landed, the Cut- ting of whose communications wou! end in disaster. 1 t + S---------- J.
