[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.]

LONDON, November 11th. THE "EMDEN!!

The capture of the Emden, the news of which reached London yesterday, gave great satisfaction, especially in the City, where the raids of this commoros troubler hae been causing constant anxiety these last fow months. But the fact stands out clearly that we can forgive a clean and honest opponent. The Evening News, for example, says that there will be only one regret about the news, and that regret is that the

he Admiralty report bor (the Emden's) loss of life as very heavy. The captain of the Emden is a brave, ingenious and courteous gentleman he has trented his prisoners very well and played the game' admirably, It is to be hoped that he is saved by the rescuers who have been send to give all possible desistance to the survivors of the Emden! It is said that The formerly commanded one of the Hansa Line ahips and knew the Bay of Bengal Anyway, as the Pall Mall Gazette remarks, the Emden and her resourceful and gallant commander. Captain Müller, captured the British Imagination as she captured British shipping. Moreover, Captain Müller and his officers always behaved in a gentlemanly and sailor-like manner. But that may be said of all the officers of the German Navy. The capture, it is to be presumed, will romova icars for freight to the East, which I have reason to know has been very keen among exporters. Incidentally it should bring forward more rubber to the private sale roms of London.

SECRET HISTORY OF THE

With Turkey now trailing at the heel of the Germans into war, we have half the world at loggerheads, both as regards milenge and population. About 2 of the 52 millions of the land area of the globe are involved and nearly 900 millions of the 1,800 millions of people are on one side

So deeply did he feel a sense. of shame that he could not face the Diplomatic Corps to bid them farewell, and his one desire was to get away as silently and as quickly as possible. He even asked the Foreign Office not to announce the hour of his departure, and none of his friends knew he had left till they called to see him in Portland Place and found that he was no longer there. He was convinced that there will be no Turkish Embassy here for years to come, so he has ordered his furniture to be sent to Turkey, as it will not be required in this country again." The passport of the Consulate representative of Turkey has been withheld till Turkey releases the British Consulate member from Con stantinople.
