To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The German navy has no splendid traditions such as the British navy has in Trafalgar, the Nile, Copenhagen, and Saint Vincent's, no names of great naval commanders on the pages of its history like those of Nelson, Jervis, Howe, Collingwood, Keppel, and Rodney. But in 66 MILITARY SITUATION this, Germany's first naval war, she has set a new record in the feats of submarines and cruisers; and in the battles of the south Pa- cific, the south Atlantic, and the North Sea she has shown that she is no ...mean antagonist for England. The natives of the Baltic and North Sea provinces have sailed the seas for centuries; they are good seamen in every sense of the word. The great commercial ships of Germany are navigated with a skill, and commanded with a discipline, not excelled by any other nation in the world. If any one thinks that the Germans cannot fight on the sea as well as they do on the land, he makes a great mistake. I assume, therefore, that if the Germans ever attempt to cross the Atlantic with an army, they will succeed.
