London. - Correspondence of the
Associated Press.)-Whether the Ger
man cruisers Goeben and Breslau es-
capped from NIessina last fall by run
ming a gauntlet of Is British and
French warships and 10 torpedo boats
as asserted by a petty officer of the
Goeben in the Vienna Arbiter-Zeitung
is q question that a. H Pollen, the
naval expert, asks of the British ad-
miraIty in the columns OF the West
minister Gazette.
The admiralty has never made pub
lie any naval action beyond the en-
Eagement previously of the two Ger
man ships with the Gloucester, which
causes Mr. Pollen to remark:
The circumstances attending the
escape OF these two ships have been
studiously kept from the British pub
lie up TO now. We know that the
commander-in-chief in the Mediter-
ranean was called upon by the ad-
miralty TO give an account of his dis
positions and that his account was
considered satisfactory. We also
know that the admiral in command OF
a very powerful cruiser squadron in
the Mediterranean was recalled TO
England. subjected to a court Of inquiry
and subsequently contaminated and
acquitted. But we do not know any
thing OF the events which led up to
these drastic steps, we do not know
on what charge the admiralty was
brought into court, we know nothing
of the character of his defense, nor
the grounds on which he was acquit-
ted. In theory. a court-martial is an
open court; in practice, il can be made
a star chamber affair by the exclusion
OF the public when any evidence Is
being heard the publication of WHICH
can be called detrimental TO public
interest.
las a simple fatter OF fact" Pollen
continues, not one word of ADMIRAL
trial was reported. and,
when questioned on the subject, the
first lord Of the admiralty has jstead-
lily declined to reopen this or any
0ther controversial incident"
Pollen declares that nothing! lis to be

Amsterdam-The German newspa-

the use of the word Waterloo as de-
noting the great battle Of June 49,
1915. The proper name OF the battle
IS. Belle-Alliance.
: At Waterloo, in the strict sense OF
s'he word. there was no fighting at all
and Marshal Butcher gave orders that
the battle should be named after the
farm of La Belle Alliance, near which
the battle was really fought, ana
where the two victors. Wellington and
Butcher. met after the work was done
But, according TO the German writ
ers, wellington did not like the name
chosen by Butcher, fearing it might
indicate in history that 1t was Blucner
and not he who won the fight be
sides. it was his habit, followed in the
Peninsula, to name a battle after the
place where he spent the night before
and he declined TO depart from ms
custom on this occasion"
