STRIKE FIRST AND
STRIKE HARD WAS
VON TIRPITZ POUCY
WHILE GERMAN ADMIRAL HAS
BEEN RETIRED, HIS INFLU
ENCE IS FELT AND HIS
POLICY REMAINS.
BERLIN, Aug. 28.—(By Mail)—
The fall of Grand Admiral von Tir
pitz was the chief event in the Ger
man navy during the last 12 months
of the war.
The changes this event brought in
the personnel of the navy, in the na
vy’s influence in politics and in the
giving up of the submarine war
against merchant ships amount to a
revolution. But the chief thing von
Tirpitz pounded into the thought and
action of everyone connected with the
navy remained. That was his aggres
siveness. “Strike first and strike
hard” was his motto and although the
chief has fallen, this motto remains.
(Paragraph deleted by censor).
Von Tirpitz was the originator of
the submarine warfare against mer
chantmen. His chief opponent was the
Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollweg.
When the original change in the sub
marine policy was made last fall, von
Tirpitz, who wanted to resign, al
though all his friends as section
chiefs in the navy were removed. The
successors were supposed to be “anti
Tirpitz.”
One of these new officers I knew
very well through personal contact ev
ery day in the press department. He
came in, inspired with many of von
Tirpitz’ ideas, but because he was
brought in by a new regime he was
not overly friendly to the Gi4ind Ad
miral. Last March, when von Tir
pitz’ resignation was accepted by the
kaiser, I was in the navy department
talking to this official. Von Tirpitz
telephoned and asked him to go for a
walk in the Tiergarten. A few weeks’
contact had made the two intimate
friends. The next day I saw von Tir
pitz. There was nothing to indicate
he had been defeated. He held his
head as high as ever. He walked in
the same firm, confident way. The
same cheerful expression was on his
face. He had fought hard and long,
15 years for a principle—a strong, ag
gressive navy; and he had been suc
cessful. He was confident that the
spirit he had hammered into everyone
connected with the navy would re
main.
It would be a mistake to say that
because von Tirpitz fell the navy fell
with him. The navy is as strong and
aggressive a weapon as ever. As po
litical power it is not so prominent.
Tirpitz, since last March, has been in
the background. His friends have
been fighting the chancellor so far
without success. Tirpitz’ fall cleared
the political atmosphere of Germany’s
internal affairs. It placed von Beth
mann-Hollweg firm in the saddle as
chancellor and right hand political
adviser of the kaiser. It did not rob
the navy of Tirpitz inspiration. This
is indicated most by the fact that the
kaiser congratulated von Tirpitz
among the first naval officers after
the battle off the coast of Denmark.
The kaiser and Germany know that
Tirpitz made the navy and they are
proud of both.
As a military weapon the navy was
prepared. Being the second^ largest
it could not be expected to control the
seas or any great part of the oceans
against the united flet of the allies. If
could, has and does torment the allies
control of the seas.
Tirpitz always will be recognized in
Germany as. the man who put aggres
siveness into the navy. And the chief
point in all German military moves
has been “Be on the offensive.” It
always has been said: “A nation can
not win a war without fighting, with
out striking before the enemy is rea
dy.”

English were claiming the sea victory

“The first lesson in naval strategy,”
he replied, “is to strike first and strike
hard and then retire before a stronger
enemy. We would have been fools to
remain after we had won the battle, to
wait until the enemy could bring up
reinforcements and defeat us.”
DR. McBRIDE WILL
TALK ON LIVE TOPIC
Dr. J. L. McBride was indeed for
tunate and being broad and generous
in all things has decided to give other
young men the benefit of his experi
ence. Not only personal experience
but his series of sermons, commencing
tomorrow evening, on the subject of
“The Kind of a Girl the Young Man
Should Marry” will be made up from
subject matter as the result of much
study and observation taken from as
sociation in all walks of life.
• '"'These sermons will no doubt be
well-attended and the initial sermon
Sunday evening will further be made
profitable and enjoyable by excellent
music by the well-trained church
choir.
Rev. J. L. Hughes has recently sent
to Seattle for a team of bird dogs to
be used in his winter’s work among
the Matanuska farmers and the lone
prospectors and miners in the hills.
While this is an innovation in this
part of Alaska this same plan has
been in vogue thi-oughout the interior
for many years but usually under the
direction of the Catholic missionary.
The idea is worthy and will unques
tionably be the means of doing much
good for in addition to carrying mag
azines and papers Rev. Hughes will
also spread the gospel and hold serv
ices whenever the opportunity offers.
