Bavaria, March 6: Admiral Alfred P. Frederlch Von Tirpltz, Lord High Admiral of the 'German Navy during-", the, ..Great War. died today at the age Of 83 years. j As the highest ranking official of the former Imperial German navy, Grand Admiral von Tirpltz cher-.lshed two dreams. One of them, a gigantic naval force for the empire, became a reality; the other, the Institution of a ruthless submarine campaign as a means to win the World War, failed. While the latter played "havoc with the shipping of neutrals and belligerents alike and exacted an undetermined toll of lives, It failed of Its purpose. ' In the end there occurred a rup-' ture between the kaiser and his naval chief and finally the resignation of the latter. Alfred P. Frledrlch von Tirpltz was born March 19, 1849, at Kuest-rln, the son of a local lawyer. The father, unimpressed with the prospects for his son's future, placer! him on a naval training ship when he was 16. From that time, 1865, until his retirement, von Tirpltz devoted his entire active life to the navy. (Continued on page two.)
