A Palpable Hit

To the Editor of the "Nontu-Cuisa Datty New>."

Sin,—In the Berlin reports published in your paper of this morning's issue, there is a statement. to the effect that the British ships withdrew after a three hours' fight, eta, and that a British battle: cruiser was sunk, ete, ete.

If this is a true account of the recent naval battle, will you pardon me for asking someone to ex-pla the Germans did not pick up their own survivors from sinking Blucher, and why they id not do a bit of damage among the ships that remained long ough to accomplish the rescue of then?

Then again, if they succeeded in sinking a British battle-cruiser, why did not the latter people pick cir own survivors or if—as claim they ran away why did not the Germans rescue ths British survivors?

Pardon my troubling you, but I am a little people: T am, ete., Shang!
