Nm. 348 CERMANY'S FLEET MUST PLAY SAFE Will Orly Fight When Vilory :s Si::'e. Mucha is at Stake. Berlin, Feb. 7.-Grand adinIral von Koester, president of the Ger. man Navy league, in an address at Kilo university loday, discussed con diti-ons governing the part to be play ed by the German navy in the war. le declared the relative strength of the German fleet compared to the Anglo-Frenhi l&ussin fleet is per Imps one to four. The British, no added, perhaps estimated German us't for battle so highly that they had said to themselves: "Some day they will come and we shall be abel to assume battle in a situation favorable for us." That the offensive spirit of the Ger mans is greater than the British, the admiral continued, can justly be as sumed when one recalls that the Ger mans took an offensive against Eng land's east coast, whereas the Eng lish have not dared to approach the German coast. "We are full of the firmest confl dence in our fleet," said Admiral von Koester, "but we know that a sea bat tle. means death or victo'y and that a -destroyed fleet can not be replaced in the course of the war even if it lasts for years. We therefore must be cau tious and allow ourselves to be in cited to no deed which might eventu ate in our defeat. "For what would be the situation if a sea battle took place tomorrow in which each one of our ships took a hostile ship to the bottom with da and perhaps smo other? We would be without a fleet and England could proceed gradually in its attempts against our coasts. Our coast from i'mden to Memel would be most se verely threatened. Landing attemti if they were suficiently well prpeared, could succeed at places most uncom fortable for us. "Our fleet must protect us under all conditions and may accept battle only when it can reckon on victory." Admiral von Koester declared the course of the naval war up to the present had caused him great suir prise. He added the British secre tary of state for the navy seven years ago declared that Germany would wake some morning and find her fleet gone. le also recalled the utterance of Winston Spencer Churchill last S'eptember in which he said that if the German warships did not conic and fight they woul be "dug out like rats in a hole." "Ateit t000 sayings," Admiral von Koester declared, "one expected other things from the British fleet. than it has accomplished. I am almost. tempt ed to believe the spirit of Nelson no longer lives in it." The admiral said the fact that Ad iiral Fisher, the British first sea lord, hadl*rnot, changed the plans that were )einrg purrmsued by Prince Louis of IHat tenoorig, the former first sea lord, "c'an be taken as showing England's initent lo to (dictate terms of' lumaco e'ventually with its flects?'
