BRITISH AND GERMAN
NAVAL LOSSES.
A correspondent of the NC. Daily News who has been making comparison of naval losses Bustained to date (including the Formidable) by the British and German navies submits the following
ARRIVAL OF THE GOOD HOPE." In an hour or so the Good Hopt (Cradock's ship) came up and we wheeled into line behind her, and again appronch- ed the enemy, coming round to south when about seven miles off. The sun by this time was getting low on our star board beam; the enemy were to the east of us, all proceeding south, they having the advantage both in guns and the light we boing sihouetted against the horizon. Their strategical speed being equal to ours, it was impossible to improve the result lights before dark. I did not think he would engage until next day. However,

Considering the operations of the at most of their fleet have been lying Corman submarine craft and the fact
cure beneath the guns of their mined
rbours, the showing is not a bad one.
It is publicly asserted in Brussels that Field Marshal von der Goltz, depressed by the appointment of his personal enemy, General Bissing, to supersede him, ried to shoot himself in a hotel in that city. Ho failed, however, to achieve his purpose, and the report of the revolver brought the hotel servants to his room With difficulty his friends obtained for him an interview with the displeased Kaiser and, to save his face, he was given the sham appointment of military
ivisor to the Bultan.'
Not the least among the valuable results of this victory should be its effect outside our own people. There can be no doubt that we lost prestige with Cradock's reverse, and even at home there were those who asked, “* What is the Navy doing?" Tha on this occasion the right amount of strength should have been in the right place and at the right time is not only evidence of a master hand, but its signi- heance will be understood far and wide. One need not. bo a seaman to estimate pro perly the skill and acumen shown in the cureness and thoroughness with which the coup was made. Even if the Admiralty were aware of the approximate movements of the German admiral, Sir Doveton Sturdes displayed real genius in discover- ing the actual location of the squadron he so promptly disposed of."
