street they debouched into the square
some singing their national anthem
others religious chant, while a few

ting that they had learnt it--and sung
it, perhaps-only two or three years
ago in revolutionary professions.
"Do you hear them? Do you
hear them" he gasped, clutching my
arm. He spoke entirely in gasps and
sucked in his breath between each
sentence, giving the effect (somc-

They are not wild, not at all, these
people. They believe this war is
right, They are fighting for the

sia, brave France, brave England, he
shouted down to the crowd directly
below us, who for the moment had
stopped singing. They caught up his
cheers and passed on. No. he said

Berlin, Dec. Il {fia Amsterdam and
London) "A German semi-offcial
statement was given out here today re,
garding the naval battle off the Falk-
land Island December 3, when the
German cruiser squadron commanded
by Admiral Count Won Spec was de-
feated by a British squadron under
Vice Admiral Sir Frederick Doyeton
sturdee. The loss Of the scharnhorst,
Gneisenau and Lsipaig is conceded by
the Germans, and little hope was held
out that the cruisers Dresden and
Nurnberg could long eHade capture.
The statement rear
Rsssfass.e tIie 4 Ias & or tie
Falkland Islands 1t transpired that
our cruiser squadron. soon after the
battle with Sir Christopher Cradocks
ships off Coronel, put into the harbor
of Santiago de Chile and left there
after stay of less than "a hours for
an unknown destination. 1t is assum-
ed that the squadron steamed south
ward to seek the British battleship
Canopus and the light cruiser Glas-
gov.
Meanwhile, it appears from the
English newspaper a strong British
squadron was dispatched to search
for and to destroy our cruiser squad
ron. Nothing certain it yet known by
us concerning the battle. 1t is reason
able to conclude, however, that the
Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipzig
we're sunk, while the Dresden and the
INurnberg succeeded in escaping.
I'm view of the superiority Of the
enemy's fleet which consists particu-
larly Of big, fast, well-armed ships.
there seems little chance that our
two cruisers can long evade pursuit.
We must, therefore, also reckon with
the loss of both Of these ships.
1T is hardly to be expected that ac-
curate information will be given from
British sources of the course Of the
conflict or of the composition of the
British squadron,
ct should not be forgotten that our
squadron was four months on the high
lseas and that without being able to
make use of cablegrams or other
means Of information it assembled and
dealt heavy blow TO the enemy's
fleet. No protected harbor was at the
disposal Of our ships for most neces-
sary repairs, and there was no dock
for the cleaning Of their keels. They
succeeded, nevertheless. IN getting
supplies Of provisions and coal for
four months without falling into the
enemy's hands,"
The British official statement an
nouncing that the German cruiser
lNurnberg also had been sunk on De
cember apparently had not been
made public in Berlin when the fore
going semi-official communication was
issued.
