LONDON, Nov. 29. Admiral Sir John R. Jellicoe, commander of the British fleet, wai today appointed First Sea Lord of the Admiralty, being succeeded In command of the grand fleet by Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, who com manded the Britisli battle cruiser squadron In the Jutland naval battle, i Admiral Sir Henry B. Jackson, the present First Sea Lord, has been ap pointed president of the Royal Naval College at Greenwich. The announcement of the change in command of the British grand fleet was made this afternoon in the House by A. J. Balfour, first Lord of the Ad miralty. Mr, Balfour said there would be consequential changes also In the Board of the Admiralty. Announcement Is Delayed. The decision involving the appoint ments of Admirals Jellicoe, Beatty and Jackson was taken some time ago, Mr. Balfour said, but for military reasons the announcement was delayed. On being asked whether the changes in the Admiralty meant other changes in higher commands, Mr. Balfour re plied that undoubtedly there would be changes which would be announced in the ordinary course. The vital changes In the management of the navy announced today will be , jrreeted enthusiastically by the country. They were not unexpected, as recently there has been a. demand for an In fusion of new life on the Board of the tiea Lords at Whitehall. Man' of Experience Wanted. The case as presented by the critics was that none of the Sea Lords had had active service afloat during this war, that more than two years of war fare had brought about real changes In methods and that the aotive direc tion of the fleets by the Admiralty should be In the hands of officers who had participated in and worked out the latest style of operations. Bir David Beatty's promotion to the command of the grand fleet gives the government's answer to criticisms, mostly from abroad, that he showed rashness in the way he threw his battle cruiser squadrons into the Jutland light. Four important figures formerly in control of the navy have passed from "Whitehall since the war began. These are Prince Louis of Battenberg, Baron Fisher and Admiral Jackson, all. of whom were First Sea Lords, and "Winston Spencer Churchill, who was First Lord of the Admiralty. Other changes In the way of bring ing new men from the fleets to "White hall are foreshadowed. Apparently Mr. Balfour retains his office as First Lord of the Admiralty through it all, al though some of the same newspapers which called for Colonel Churchill's retirement have been turning their guns upon him, but from a different angle, considering1 hira too slow and conservative. 16 SEEK 7 CITY JOBS KOMISATIONS FOR OREGON ELECTION ARB CLOSED.
