SHELL THROWN UNDER
GREAT PROPAGATION
British Admiralty Issues Formal Re-
ply to Charge Made by German
Minister nt Copenhagen.

| LONDON, September % q p My
The British Admiralty to-day issued n
/ formal reply to the statement OF the
German minister at Copenhagen that
British officers fired on drowning Ger
, man sailors after tho naval engage
ment of Iielgoland, and that shell
was thrown into n lifeboat containing
German survivors.
! The Admiralty admits that the she'll
was thrown. but explains the circum-
stances as follows:
Every effort was made to save life
until a German cruiser OF the Stettin
class appeared on the scene, and opened
heavy fire on the British destroycrs
and their small boats. The destroycrs
were forced to retire, in order to avoid
destruction. The Goshawk removed
her men from her boat. leaving II TO
German prisoners. nearly all of whom
were wounded. 1t is to he regretted
that n blucjacket on the forecastle of
the Goshawk. cNasperated at the inhu-
man conduct of the German cruiser
threw a projcctile which could not pos
sibly under the circumstances have en-
plodcd. into this small boat as II drifted
past his ship.
! This no doubt is the incident re-
fcrrcd TO by the German minister at
lCopenhaXen II cannot be defended
but the act was done under provocation
and It was surely Il trivial ofense COM
pared to that OF the German cruiser

/ who actually saw officers of the Ger

/ presumably because they we're of the
/ opinion that they were prcmaturely de-

men in our hospitals, the statement
continues, whose wounds testify to the
accuracy Of the German fire. Out of
$50 men saved from the AIainz, about
100 were picked up swimming in the
water. Many Of them had been wound
