" The gigantic Fleet of Albion" had received the hammer-blow
from the German Fleet, and the nimbus of British world supremacy had disappeared. "A new chapter in the history of the world has been opened by you " ; "The German Fleet has been able to defeat a superior English Fleet " ; "God Almighty has steeled your arms and kept your eyes clear " ; "I am standing here to-day as your Supreme War Lord " ; "I am standing here as the represen- tative of the Fatherland " ; "Every one of you has done his duty at the gun, at the boiler, in the wireless " ; "Every one thought of the same thing "—but why go on ? We expect that by this time the Emperor has persuaded himself, not only that the British Fleet Is destroyed, but that he himself was present at the action disguised as the conductor of the Admiral's band.
