According 10 Information derived

man dcstroyers a'' torpc 10 boats have
arrived al Kiel IN Il damag cd condition,
and II is understood that Others have

Canal"
The Daily Chronicle mentions three
possible theories in explanation OF the
statement.
The first theory, to which the
Chronicle inclines. is that the ships
were damaged in the naval battle OF
Helgoland on August %. The second
is that they have encountered Russian
ships in the Baltic and the third that
they have encountered British ships In
the Baltic.
The Chronicle says that while Will
helmshaven, Brcmerhaven and CuN-
haven would be far nearer ports for
vessels damaged in HelGoland Blight
than Kiel. sixty miles away by canal.
Kiel is the naval repair headquarters.
Tho Chronicle opposes to the second
theory the continued reports that tho
Russian fleet Is bottled up by the Ger
mans in tho Baltic and to the second
theory the lack of any information that
the British feet has made any effort to
