NOME, ALASKA. JULY S ,1916.
The question of who did win the big
sea battle between the British and Ger
man fleets continues to furnish the space
writers with an opportunity to tear ofl
reams of literary hodge dodge concerning
nils or that ptiruse of the great conflict
otT tlie Juvand coast. Lately arriving
papers and magazines are filled with
scholarly dissertations, comparisons and
whatnot all intended to show which side
was the winner, vhleh the loser. Ac
, oriiing as the sympathies of the writers
incline, Germany or England has best
oi it, although it is admitted by the
pro-British writers that England receiv
ed somewhat the worst of it when the
I,attic Is divested of nil the numerous
side issues and comes right down to the
..miter of (lie number of ships lost.
Yet, despite lids acknowledgement, it is
claimed by many who venture their opin
ions that Biituln was the winner al
though sustaining the greater losses. To
these champions it matters not that Eng
land lost more ships tI1u.11 the enemy,
li is contended that the victory was
in is just the same. Also it is held that
tin- Germans are after all much heavier
losers, in that tlie German fleet being
small, the relatively smaller losses sus
tained will be felt much worse than the
larger losses of Britain will be felt by
i hat nation. Claimants for a German
victory contend lhat the question is one
oi siiips alone and lhat atlendant ef
fects have nothing to do with the case.
Accordingly, they base the claim to a
German triumph on the greater tonnage
lust by tlie British.
The result of all the argument has no
other effect that to raise the question
of what constitutes a victory nowadays.
Germany claims that the greater number
of ships lost by the enemy entitles her
hi credit as the victor; tlie British con
tend that, despite the greater losses, they
compelled the Germans to flee for safety,
leaving them the masters of the Held,
and, therefore, victorious. We confess,
however, that with all the will In the
world to see it so, we still cannot.
To us the fact that the Germans ran
away after Inflicting terrific damage on
a superior foe appears nothing more
ihun an excellent display of good Judg
ment. The man who struck and run
would once upon a time have been shot.
But not today. In modern warfare It is
plain that I lie one who stunds and fights
it out in an unequal match is doomed
to sure destruction. The Germans have
apparently recognized this better limn
ilie British who still seeni inclined to the
archaic belief that he who holds the field
must be the victor.
The sea fignt of today Is peculiarly
a battle of ships. The Jutluml battle, the
battle of Uoronel, the light ofT the Fulk
lands and tlie battle of Dogger Hank
ail point (he same lesson, and that li s
son is that the weight of guns and the
length of range are the deciding factors,
speed also olays a not unimportant part
ip proving the victor. The point is that
all three are purely mechanical factors.
11 does not mutter how brave the men
of a lighting ship may be they cannot
win, except hy some fortunate accident,
if they have not enemy matched In
these particulars. For a ship, or squa
dron or fleet, unequal to Its opponents,
to stund its ground and fight It out on
the spot tinder the conditions of mod
em sea fights 1s merely one way of
courting inevitable destruction. The Ger
mans give full recognition to this fact
and, as they are not looking for de
struction. they flee when the odds are
against them. And they are apparently
nothing more than wise in doing so.
They consider safety as the first requisite
of ultimate success. It is useless to
cling to the belief that flight is an in
dication of cowardice and in any event
the charge will not stick against the
Germans. With all their Laults, no one
lean justly accuse them of a lack of
bravery.
The Germans have conducted the war |
from tiie first as a war of mechanery.
They and their Austrian allies alone of
all the world realised that the war would
he a war of mechanics. To them war is
not primarily a matter of men but of
machi.ery. Therefore, if a machine be
withdrawn from a position no longer to
l» • held, it is considered to Ik* an act
of merit, not of cowardice. Hence tin
Germans fled from the North Sea battle
when the heavier ships of the British
.uue upon the scene. We know not what
effect the battle may have upon her
future prospects of winning the war but
it seems undeniable that she won the
Jutland battle by a substantial margin.
The fact that her ships took to flight
"hen the odds become greater than they
eared to face is neither a proof of co
wardice nor of defeat. Considering that
the weight and range of guns is the de
ciding factor in a sea battle, it is no
more than excellent good judgment for
a commander to run a\v.u when he finds
himself outclassed.
