no EXPLANATION

Admiral Roieslyensky explains that
on the night Of hls North sea bunder,
suddenly two torpedo boats attacked
hls squadron ana that he opened fire
on them. and sank one while the other
took refuge among the fishing craft.
This il materially different from the
FIRST version Of the affair given by the
same admiral 10 am Associated Press
representative and telegraphed from
ylgo Spain In that first published
statement It was said that no fishing
feet was I'm sight at an, and that the
Russians did not know they had lnhct.
ed damage to the neutral craft The
fishing vessels, lt was added, did not
display any lights
A third version, coming from Paris,
and apparently from am eye witness
states that one Of the Russian trans
/ ports the name Is glven-was sur
rounded by boats, supposed TO be tor
pedo boats, and that the Russian
squadron hrst surrounded these vessels,
cutting Of their escape, and then fred
ugon alI or them, In this version the
original two torpedo boats have be-
come an entire notilla These are con-
tradcilons that cannot be reconcled.
The narrative OF one Of the eye-wt-
nesses Oh the British side should be
compared with these statements
Captain Peaker OF the fishing steam-
er Magpie, stated that the trawlers
covered a radius Of l2 miles The war
ships gradually drew near and when
they came In among the trawlers, some
signalling was done, after which the
searchlights were turned on the fishing
feet The warshlps were not more
than from quarter TO half a mile from
the fishing craft when they opened fire,
and they We're right IN between the TO-
ulla, II these are facts the Russians
saw the vessels In the powerful rays
Of the searchlights They must have
known what they were. Eyc-wltuesses
ere positive as 10 this. The fishing
boats we're trawling at about two and
one-halt knots an hour, and the sQuao-
ron was steamlng at about IL knots
when il first came into sight After the
searchIights had been turned on the
fishing fleet It was impossible TO. mis-
take II for anything I'm the war line.
The squadron, In fact, got so close ~
that the Russians could distinguish the |
men working their nets, The fishers
were burning international fishing

green sides There could be no mlstak- !
Ing those lights at sea.
The explanation does not explain, But !
it may be sufficient 10 base the assur-
ances on, that no ofense to the British |
people was intended, and that the RUS

sunlight destroys bacteria In water to a
depth Of three feet. The obvious con-
clusion IS that rapidly flowing streams
or ponds not more than three feet deep
contain the purest water.
