FICTION FACTORY

London, Yesterday. London naval circles do not consider that Ger- many's latest attempt to persuade the world of her strict regard for interna- tional law and on the other hand Britain's constant dis- regard for it, will be found by any unbiased critic to be very impressive when con- fronted by the facts.

station at accusations German

The German wireless Zeesen has made five against Britain attacking merchantmen in neutral waters.

First, the Franken was reported to have been stopped by British mili- tary aeroplane on September 6 with- In one and a half miles of the coast of Sumatra.

Secondly, the Bertha Fisher is re- ported to have been stopped on November 20 by a British auxillary cruiser one and a half miles from Iceland as a result of which she scuttled herself.

Thirdly, the Arauka was allegedly attacked by a British cruiser on December 19 within three mile of the Florida coast.

Fourthly, the Glucksberg is said to have been approached by a Bri- tish warship in Spanish waters near Cadiz on December 26.

Fifthly, the Wakama is said to have been attacked in Brazilian ter- ritorial waters and the crew fired upon after they had taken to the boats.

THE FACTS

As a result of careful investigation of these charges by the British Gov- ernment, it is now possible officially to state the true facts.

The Franken was sighted well out- kide Dutch territorial waters near Padang by an aeroplane from one of His Majesty's ships operating in these seas.

Signals were made to her to stop. The Franken did not stop but no further action was taken by the acroplane.

There was no reason for the scut- tling of the Bertha Fischer except that scuttling seems to have become one of the traditions both of the German navy and mercantile marine. All the officers and crew were pick- ed up by one of His Majesty's ships and are now prisoners of war.

The Araukn

was well outside American territorial waters when she was located by one of His Ma- jesty's ships. When she reached ter- ritorial waters the chase was imme- diately broken off and she took re- fuge at Port Everglades, Florida.

RUN ASHORE

The Glucksberg was sighted by a British destroyer when she was seven miles from the Spanish coast ---four miles outside territorial waters and the destroyer was well to sea- ward of the German ship. As soon as she was sighted the Glucksberg dashed for the coast. The ship was abandoned and left to run ashore pilotless and with the sea cocks open. The Wakama was not attacked nor was she in territorial waters when she scuttled herself. All her officers and men were picked up by a Brl- tish warship and, though prisoners, are safe and sound.

It will be seen that not one of these charges is borne out by the facts.-British Wireless.
