(Combinated from Page 1). DERMAN NAVAL RAID.
Another Place of Diagramatul Conduct.
London, Oct. 20.
The Admiralty reports that, two British destroyers, the Mary Rose and the Strongbow, (fought two fast and heavily' armed German raiders until they were sunk in the unequal engagement in the North Esa on Wednesday.
The two raiders attacked on Wednesday, a convoy in the North Sea between the Mhotland Islands and the Nor- wegian coast. The British destroyers, the Mary Bose and the Strongbow, which formed the escort, engaged the raiders and lought until they were sunk after an unequal engage mont. Their gallant action delayed the raidera, erianling three merchant vessels to escape. Five Norwegian, one * Danish and, three Swedish vessels, all unarmed, were sunk by gunfire without 'examination or warning, regardless of the lives of the crews and the passengers. Lengthy com ment on the action of the Germans is unnecessary., it only adds another example to the long list of criminally inhuman deeds of the German Navy.
The German vessels were anxious to escape before the British forces could intercept them, and they made no effort to resous the crewal of the Brittan destroyers. They also left the doomed marchant ships, leaving the British patrols 'to `resene thirty Norwegian and others concerning whom details are unknown. The German Nayy by this act haa once more and further degraded itself by its disregard of the historic chivalrý of the sco.
An enemy official message states that the attack was within territorial waters in the neighbourhood of the Shet- land Islands, and that all the escort vessels, including destroyers, were Bank, excepting one escort and a fistung steamer.* The German slätements as to the locality of the attack and the destruction of the escort vessels are alike. antrus. The enemy raiders succeeded in evading the British watching squadrons because of the long dark nights both in their hurried outward dash and homeward fight. It is regretted that 88 oflicers and men of the Mary Rose and 47 officer and men of the Strongbow were lost.

The long interval between the alarm and the bomb dropping led people to become rather heedless notwithstanding the playing of search-lights shortly after two bombs had been dropped in quick succession in diferent neighbour... hoods.
