The tide Of popular patronage flows our way and
the pleased enthusiasm Of our patrons is the most

shown by the many new faces of purchasers that are

our business and the many kind words of praise and
satisfaction we receive from those that have bought
here. Perfect storekeepng is our aim. We believe
that quality and liberal policy are the substrucures
of perfect sorckccpng and that low price is but the

patches to the German embassy to-day
from the German minister at Santiago
Chile, announced that the British fleet
which sank the cruisers Scharanorst
Gneisenau and Leipzig off the coast Of
Chile was badly damaged, and that one
British ship apparently was sunk.
y statement issued tonight at the
embassy said:
According to information received
by the German embassy from Chile
the battle on the Falkland Islands
lasted from . o'clock in the morning
until in the evening.
ION the British side the Invincible
IntleX!ble. Campus, Carnarvcr, Corn
wall, Kent. Glasgow and Bristol were
engaged. Many German officers and
men were saved. but lack of boats
prevented the number from being
larger The British cruiser Defence
did not take part, and has been seen
aground at Port Stanley.
only seven English cruisers left the
scene Of battle, so that one must have
been sunk. The others were badly
damaged"
