One point of great interest to naval men,” said the expert, “is that this conflict has proved the iority of the all-big-gun Had the Good Hope, with 2,000 greater tonnage super poliey more than than the German cruisers and 1,000 more horsepower, been armed with a main battery of 9.2- inch guns, there would have been 1 different tale to tell. One must not, from this,” he concluded, “rush to the conelu- sion that should the British and German main fleets clash the same result would follow, for the big-gun policy has been follow- ed out on all the British dread- ughts.” Lesson of the Pacific. Under the caption of “The son of the Battle in the Pacifie,” Che Herald's military critie said: rhe result of the naval bat- tle off the southern coast of Chile in the opinion of naval men, a serious one to the British, to the American navy the mn of the utmost impor- Les- most and ess is tance, “The fight was in essentially British weather, heavy sea condi- tions such as prevail almost con- itinuously north of the west Pa- tagonia passes, and it is for just such weather that vessels of the Good Hope and “County” class, of which the Monmouth is one, have been built. “Por years the British have doggedly adhered to the principle of building warships with a view of heavy weather conditions of | battle and have saerificed bat. |} teries for the sake of more weath. lerly qualities They lost the | Guerrere and the Java in 1842 to THE DAILY NEWS. all vessels of the largely because the outbatteried the the Constitution, frigate class, Constitution British craft. “The British criticized the American policy of late providing a_ too great weight of battery per ton of ship, but the American policy was held to the 1812 practice and continues to hold, and the sig- nifigant part is that the Germans have followed American methods. “The battery of practically ev- ery German warship of the Pre- have repeatedly years as mier class today shows the maxi- mum of artillery compatible with tonnage displacement. “The time has passed in mod- ern naval warfare to consider that seamanship and mere bravery can A preponderate battery in the hands untrained, unskilled little trained offset artillery preponderance. might when opposed to men count for a highly personnel, though provided with an inferior battery, but it has been known for that the reached to an extraordinari- many years Germans have ly high efficiency in naval gun- nery, and their enterprise and be equally cannot therefore, personnel both as to seamanship bravery questioned Given, efficient not allowing the in the open sea and gun work, and, for errors of judgment, result of a naval battle as between numerically equal forces should rest with that side possessing the preponderance of artillery. “This curred DETAILS OF CAPTURE OF SAMOA PUBLISHED Officer Commanding New Zealand Expeditionary Force Reads Proclamation After British Flag is Hoisted.

The advance force consist- ing of 53 officers and 1351 men was dispatched in two troop ships and the first part of the journey Pwas not without risk as it was known that the German cruisers Gneisenau and Scharnhorst were making for those waters while the only protection afforded was that of three small cruisers, the Phil- omel, Psyche and Pyramus. But at Noumea the convoy was joined by the battle cruiser Australia and the protected Mel- bourne of the Australian navy to- gether with the French armored cruiser Montealm, the three be- ing engaged in rounding up the German craft. The expedition ar- rived at Apia on Sept. 3, and as préviously reported, the Germans offered no resistance. Proclamation Issued. The British fag was run up and Col. Logan, the officer command- in, issued a proclamation as fol- lows: nary ree cruiser “The New Zealand government of His Britannie Majesty, King George V, now oceupy for His Majesty all the German territory situated in the Islands of the Sa- moan group.” This was a remarkable event in the history of British Overseas Governments, for with the per- mission of Downing Street, the annexation was thus made to New Zealand and the islands are being administered by New Zea- land, Debt Acknowledged. At the same time New Zealand freely acknowledged the debt she is under to the Commonwealth of Australia, without whose armor- ed ships the expedition would have been impossible. The great value of the Australian navy has further been shown by the an- nexation by Commonwealth troops under their own naval es- cort of the important Bismarek Archipelago and German New Guinea. These object lessons and the general proteetion which New Zealand commerce and even her coasts owe to the Australian fleet have done much to stimulate the movement for a New Zealand nav- al foree capable of performing these duties in time of war.
