 The location of the sinking of !. the cruisers is given as of the Falkland Islands, by the Admir- ally. Nothing further was men toned by the Admiralty, and all attempts of outsiders to learn the details of the alleged sinking of the cruisers were unsuccess- ful.
 lThe Falkland Islands, belonging to the British Empire Empire, are about 900 miles due east-eE- the Straits of Magellan. known as "Tho Horn. z the German cruisers were sunk off the Faiklands, 1t is reasonable to believe they had lately steamed due south from the North Pacific waters, round. ed the horn into the South Atlantic ocean, and there mel the British fleet Of cruisers which has been patroiiing the Atlantic for several weeks, look ing for their quarry What attracted the German cruisers to the Atlantic, may have been their desire to get into the Indian ocean, where they would have a better chance of proving on British merchantmen, and the danger of capture by superior forces would be lessened.-Tho Editor)
