The worst critics are those who conâ€" demn â€"the Commanderâ€"inâ€"Chief for turning away during the main action, in order to avoid torpedo attack, thereby losing touch of the enemy temporarily. â€" These armchair critics would have had him hurl his fleet against® the Germans, regardless of |possible loss from torpedos, for the sake of figuring in a spectacular batâ€" ~tle, forgetting that the Fleet was Engâ€" Much has been written and many reports published regarding the Batâ€" tle of Jutland, and up to the present time these have left many people wonâ€" dering whether . the victory then O0bâ€" tained was to be regarded as a supâ€" reme and decisive one, or merely parâ€" tial. The inevitable result of this has been a volume of criticism of the Adâ€" mirals concerned has poured out from the pens of experts, and of others less qualified to sit in judgment on them. ‘ Wednesday, August 3rd, 1927 "THE TRUTH ABOUT JUTLAND" Admiral Harper‘s Vindication of Lord Jellicoe, and Some Thoughts on the Battle. (By Naval Officer in "The Sailor" for July.) "TRAIL RIDERS." The very sound of the words brings the tang of woodland fire smoke, the crackling of burning twigs, the musical running and tumbling to streams slipping hurriedly down the mountain side Off the beaten track of the luxury loving rocking chair tourist, directly south of Banff is Mount Assiniâ€" boine, the objective of this year‘s trail ride. This majestic mountain towers many thousands of feet above the snowâ€"fields, and is clearly reflected in the surfaces of the lakes that lie at its base. No white man reached the base of this noble pyramid until :4898, when R. L. Barrett, an American mountain to offer an early morning drink to thirsty campers. Is there anyone in the world sufficiently prosaic not to be attracted by the fascination of that word "trail?" It suggests mysteries, an elusive something lying always round the next bend of the road, beâ€" yond the next mountain peak. One part of Canada in particular is threaded with the world‘s most fascinating trails, to be followed through the world‘s most lovely scenery, day after day, each to its ultimate termination. That is the arena indigenous to Banff and Lake Louise, in the heart of the Canadian Rockies â€" a veritable land of Heart‘s Desire for the man or woman with the love of Nature and the explorer‘s hot blood in their veins, where every trail leads to beauty, peace and radiant health.

Other critics indirectly hint that things would have gone much better had Admiral Beatty been in supreme command. We may be truly thankful that the Commander â€"inâ€"Chief of the Grand Fleet was an officer of high principle, with a clear conception of his duty and responsibilities, whose skilful handling of that great Fleet proved his consummate ability. For, did he not twice during the action, cross the enemy‘s T?â€"a manoeuvyre which must inevitably have proved decisive, had it not been frustrated by the «disastrous lack of visibility, and the lateness of the hour. ‘ land‘s and the Empire‘s all. For on the supremacy of the Fleet depended the whole issue of the war. J. A. Campbell, Manager climber, and Tom Wilson, of Banff, made their way to its foot by way of Simpson Pass, the route which the Trail Riders will take on their return trip this summer. The fourth annual trail ride will leave Banff on Monday, August 4. The Commissioner of Parks has had cleared an old trail which leads through the wild canyon of Brewster Creek. The first night‘s camp will be by the head of this creek, and in the morning the riders will cross Assiniboine Pass to the Camp by the shore of Lake Magog, which holds in its turquoise depths the reflection of this great, stony, snowâ€"crowned giant. The third day will be spent with the camp a base, Allowing the Trail Riders to explore the surrounding lakes and foothills, or to do some climbing. The fourth day they will ride by way of the Valley of the Rocks, Golden Valley, Citadel Pass, Alpine Lakes and Meadows on the Great Divide to Sunshine camp. The Grand Powâ€"Wow will be held on Simpson Pass on the fifth day, and the party will ride home the following day by way of Healy Creek. + This year‘s ride is the most ambitious of any undertaken by the Trail Riders since the inception of the organization and, from all indications, it will be one of the most successful. (And no matter what wonderful pictures the imagination of the riders may i:onglqm up, the beauties of the trip are sure to be ovelier., is e 4: nopantity o f n In the preceding chapter he stated that the public required a clearâ€"cut verdict, and in the above he appears "To Jellicoe, therefore, must go the verdict of that impartial refereeâ€"acâ€" curate history. As the misconceptions which have surrounded the facts about Jutland are gradually, and weo hope now finally, cleared away, and the success which was attained on that day, when the whole issue of the great war hung in the balance, is more generally recognized, credit will be given where credit is due." _ This book, written by a man who in the quiet of a London office, pieced together ~the reports from every source, made a complete analysis of the happenings of that eventful day, arrived at conclusions that cannot be disputed, must silence the critics forâ€" ever. Admiral Harper‘s final concluâ€" sion, contained in the first chapter, is of utmost importance. At long last the mists are about to be cleared away. The First Lord of the Admiralty from ‘his seat in Parâ€" liament has promised to publish the Harper report in its original form.! This action has been anticipated by the publication of a book ‘by John Murray, of London, written by Adâ€" miral â€" Harper, entitled, "The Truth About Jutland." We have not receivâ€" ed a copy of this, ‘but the comments thereon in the London daily press made interesting reading. We shall take the liberty of quoting, drawing some inferences from these. 1 The disquietitude which arose in many quarters over the result of the action was largely due to the pessiâ€" mislic messages issued by the Admirâ€" alty immediately after the battle, and laterâ€" by the continued refusal of their lordships to publish the official reâ€" port of the fight, compiled by Captain (now Admiral) Harper, assisted by two other officers of lexp-eri'ence, and approved by the then First Sea Lord, and Admiral Jellicoe. The public naâ€" turally drew therefrom the inference the Admiralty had some unpleasant facts which they were unwilling to‘ disclose. _ \ clearly proved by the fact that the Grand Fleet remained at sea while the Germans fled to port and stayed there, immobile, until the end of hostilities, when they surrendered their entire navy en <bloc. THE INDEPENDENT, GRIMSBY, ONTARIO Simply wash and prepare the vegeâ€" tables for pickling and then cover with the following brine: One gallon vineâ€" gar, boiling hot; one cup salt, one cup sugar, one cup ground mustard. For â€"smaller amounts the brine is made of: one cup vinegar, boiling hot; one tablespoon sal%, one tableâ€" spoon ground mustard. Mix the dry ingredients and make into a smooth paste with the vinegar. Put the vegeâ€" tables into clean, sterilized jars and cover with the brine. : "Admiral Jellicoe was personally responsible for the state of efficiency of the fleet, and it was he, more than any other, who built up that efficiency, not only by virtue ‘of his position and ability, ‘but also because he was ‘beâ€" loved and trusted by everyone in his command." j ; The above will give our readers a general idea of the contents of this interesting book, which is within the reach of everyone, its prite being only five shillings, and we rejoite to see Lord Jellicoe completely vindicated. We give with pleasure one more exâ€" tract from the book, where the auâ€" thor writes: | to have discovered Admiral Beatty, and tried to impress on the public ‘that the decisions which I had the honor of taking as First Lord of the Admiralty were most serviceable to the Royal Navy and British Arms.‘" The Admiralty severely criticizes some authors who have written acâ€" counts of the Battle of Jutland, inâ€" cluding Mr. Winston Churchill, who, he says, have based most of their arâ€" guments on false premises. Mr. Churchill, he proceeds, "must be susâ€" pected from the time, when he claimed no fault of his, ‘but because of the aboveâ€"mentioned reasons, and that the Fifth Battle Squadron during the night omitted to inform him of a glimpse they ‘had caught of some Gerâ€" man battleships. f The second failure was due to the Admiralty not informing Admiral Jelâ€" licoe during the night that they were aware of the Germans being to the north of him. The author, in a chapâ€" ter entitled, "‘Jellicoe Disillusioned," explains that the chance of action at daylight, for which hechad made his night dispositions, was lost through In the first instance the Admiral of the First Cruiser Squadron failed to give â€" the Commanderâ€"inâ€"Chief the course the enemy was steering, and for this, and for two errors he made in his own dispositions in the early stages of the fight, Admiral Beatty is severely criticized. From the pubâ€" lished accounts it appears that the gallant Admiral, in his haste to fight anyone and everyone at sight, appearâ€" ed to have forgotten the first duty of a Cruiser Admiral, which is to proâ€" vide the Commanderâ€"inâ€"Chief with inâ€" formaion. ; From the press COmments we gaâ€" ther that the author particularly stresses the need for students to conâ€" sider the lack of visibility; that the maximum throughout the day was 12,â€" 000 yards, or six nautical miles; that the Admirals were not sitting up in a balloon with a bird‘sâ€"eye view of the fleets, conducting the battle as on a tactical board; that the Commanderâ€" inâ€"Chief was hampered from start to finish by lack of proper information.: (a) before the deployment for lack of information as to the enemy‘s disâ€" posiion and course, (b) misleading information received during the night (c) and thirdly lack of information as to the position of the enemy‘s ‘batâ€" tle ships during the ‘hours of darkâ€" ness. j s CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION TEeReNnt® Aus21»SeptlO to have given the Public that. which they have long waited for. : $50,00“ ) \ swIM 1 /.. peat® SLAP DASH PICKLES of"®N"s.

Warned by failures in attempts to stock other northern districts with reindeer, the department of the inâ€" terior is gathering data before any of these animals will ‘be shipped to the Mackenzie district. A. E. and R. T. Porsild, men of wide experience in the Arctic, have ‘beem engaged, and are investizating thoroughly all conâ€" ditions entering into the proposed atâ€" tempt. Two thousand reindeer will be introduced into the park if their report is favourable. Past experience has shown that reindeer cannot thrive moss is not abundant and suitable for feed. The Porsild ‘brothers spent eight months of last year investigating the reason for the successful introduction of reindeer in Alaska. They worked down the Yukon river towards its mouth and trekkea by dog team to Kotzebue and Point Barrow, finally reaching Aklavik. This year they will work from the delta of the Mackenzie river and cover the Great Bear disâ€" trict and compare conditions with those in Alaska. â€"Two seaplanes will be utilized and will fly from abase at Cormorant lake, Northern Manitoba, to two temâ€" porary air bases, one at Chipewyan, on Lake Athabaska, and the other at Fitzgerald, on Slaver river. Flights will ‘be made by the two planes on parallel courses six miles apart and the whole district will be recorded ‘by photograph. â€" The data géthered will ‘be used ‘by the department in formuâ€" lating its future policy withs regard to wild life. .. With the successful conclusion of the experiment with the ‘buffalo the department has completed a unique task. Herds were selected at Wainâ€" wright and shipped by rail and water to the new location, where they were turned loose. Observers travelled constantly over the range to report the progress of the herds in the new environment. They have reported that the animals appear wellâ€"condiâ€" tioned and that their numbers have increased. The park covers an area of 17,300 square miles and rich meaâ€" dows and protecting woods are numâ€" erous. Not a sgingle mile of the vast area has been mapped nor a single mile of survey run, ‘but a partial study‘ of the district is to be made through an acerial expedition. ] _ 49TH YEAR CELEBRATING CANADA €0th BIRTHDAY The next step to carry out departâ€" ment plans in respect to the district of Mackenzie, where the buffalo park has been located, has ‘been taken through the appointment of a scienâ€" tific expedition to determine the posâ€" sibility of stocking the area with reinâ€" deer. The department of the interior, which has charge of the Canadian naâ€" tional parks, believes that the developâ€" ment of the naural resources of the northern areas will depend on a robust native population and an abundance of wild life. h JOHN J.
