British moved in. claimed sovereignty,
but, not being in a position to enforce
her claim, possession remained with
England.
That has been the situation for more
than half a century back, but officially
Argentina has not abandoned her po-
sition, and does not even recognize the
name Falklands. In most of the South
American countries the group is known
as the Ma1vinos Islands.
There is a story that when an official
in southern Argentina received re-
port of distressed ship from the
Falklands. he said it must be a mistake
because there was no such place as the
Falklands.

the Chilean coast November 1, is, for
the present matter of pure conjec-
ture. The probability is that it has
been somewhere in the south Atlantic,
possibly lying in wait for the British
vessels.
Whether the German warships actu-
ally sought to make their way through
the crooked passages of the Falk-
lands. doubtless also in time will be
disclosed. although the difficulty of
getting out after once entering the bay
at Port Stanley would appeal to the
caution of even a daring naval COM
mander. such as Admiral Won Spec
showed himself to be.
The official statement of the British
admiralty simply says that the German
ships were sighted near the Falk-
