betant of english naval officers has broken silence regarding the importance of Heli goland to germany and is quoted as baying that the real value of the island lies in its relation to the new aanal which is to unite the north sea ard alie baltic from the moment that germany aspired to be a maritime power the necessity waa imposed upon her f maintaining two fleets one in the north sea and one in the baltic in case of war in the east or the west these two fleets can unite through the canal without tho danger of interruption by denmark or any hostile power in making the transit by sea baj so long as Heli goland was neutral the union of the two german fleets could be prevented or at least rendered precarious 1 by an fleet stationed near jhb island the poss sion and fortification of Helig olond by germany impossible for an enemy to prevent the junction the acquisition of tho island therefore means to germany that the value of her navy in eventualities which are most probable is something like doubled |
