Displeased With Admiral Ingenhol's Police of Seeking Battle London, March 9A Dally Express despatch dated Amsterdam, says: 'Before long there will be a gen- eral shuffle of positions, in the high- er command of the German navy. Admiral von Tirpitz and his master are not satisfied with the doings of Admiral von Ingenhpl; commander in chief of the battle fleet. They as- eribe to his lack of foresight the loss of many Germany ships." "What is left for Germany at sea?" That was the question discus sed recently at a naval war council in Berlin to which Germany's best adinirals had been summoned. No communication was made to the press regarding the outcome of the cquncil, but it is understood from a trustworthy source that Admiral vou Ingenhol's policy of seeking battle was sterrly condemned by the admiral's opponents. It may be taken for granted that the German fleet will never again atiack Britain's ships in anything like an' equal fight, but will remain hidden until peace is declared and then Germany, with what is left of it, will endeavor to build the largest fleet "that ever existed, and hopes then to challenge Britain's fleet within fifteen or twenty years.
