BERLIN COMEDIES LOSS
OF FLEET UNDER Won SPEC

Berlin. Dec. II. (Via Amsterdam and
L~ondon).-A German semi-official
statement was given out here today
regarding the naval battle off the Falk-
land islands. December s, when the
German cruiser squadron under Vice
Count Won Spec was defeated by a
British squadron under Vice Admiral
Sir Frederick Doveton Sturdee. The
loss of the cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneis-
enau and Leipzig. is conceded by the
Germans and little hope was held out
that h cruisers Dresden and Nurn-
berg could long evade capture.
The statement reads:
Regarding the naval battle off the
Falkland islands. it transpires that
our cruiser squadron which soon af-
ter the battle with Sir Christopher
Cradcck's ships off C%oronel, put into
the har5or Of Santiago De Chile. and
left there after a stay Of less than
"a hours. for an unknown destination.
1t is assumed that the squadron steam
ed southwark to seek the British bat
tleship Campus and the light cruiser
Glasgow.
Meanwhile. it appears from the
English newspapers. a very strong
British squadron was dispatched to
search for and to destroy our cruiser
squadron. Nothing certain is vet
known by us concerning the battle. 1t
is reasonable TO conclude, however.
that the S~charnhorst. Gneisenau and
Leipzig We're sunk while the Dresden

SETTLERS GET VERDICT IN

In the United States court of appeals
which sustained the decision of Judge
elliott in the United States district
court of this state. The u was the
Belle F'curchc Water Users associa-
ton against Frank Magruder, project
engineer, and others. and arose from
the defendants shutting off the water
supply of the settlers for nonpayment
" water rents and other differences.
The suit was fought by the govern
ment on the grounds that Magruder

to bring about n reimbursement Of the
water rent problem and make it easier
