HERALD.
Copyright, 1921, By THE New York HERALD.
LONDON, Jan. 19.-Although much
has been written about the escape of
the German cruisers Goeben and Bres-
lau from Messina to the Dardanelles,
and the charge often has been made
that the successful flight Of these two
cruisers was responsible for bringing
Turkey into the war on the side OF
Germany, the man who was assigned
to prevent this escape. Admiral Sir
A. Berkeley Milne, commander OF the
British fleet In the Mediterranean dur
ing those tense days Of July and Au-
gust, 1914, has come forward with his
own explanation of the whole affair.
In a statement covering more than
sixty typewritten pages. much OF which
is taken up in refuting statements OF a
derogatory nature made by Sir Julian 5.
Corbett in his "Oflcial History OF the
War" Admiral Milne tells In detail the
position of his ships the diplomatic COM
plications with which he had to contend,
the orders. at times conflicting, which he
received from the Admiralty. and finally
the efforts made to capture or sink the
German ships. At no time does he seek
to shift the responsibility, his contention
being simply that he did nothing deserv-
iner of censure and that in the circum-
stances nobody else could have done any
better.
Moreover. he brings out the point that
even before the German ships reached
their destination an alliance had been
made between Germany and Turkey
whereby their fleets were to act in con-
cert. so that Turkeys part In the war
had already been decided before the two
cruisers made their escape.

Admiral Mines story.

"At the end of July. 1914 Admiral
Milne writes, "the force under my COM
mand in the Mediterranean consisted OF
three battle cruisers Of the Second Bat
tie Cruiser Squadron, the four armored
cruisers of the First Cruiser Squadron,
commanded by Rear Admiral c. T. Trou-
bridge, and four light cruisers and four
teen destroyers.
'When war was expected Admiral
Milne continues. "the possibility that
both Austria and Italy would join with
Germany must be considered. and the
instructions which I received from the
Admiralty were framed in accordance
with that contingency. Whether or not
the possibility was considered that the
Ottoman Empire would side with Ger

been laid in the straits of the Darda-

Mediterranean when on July %, 1914
