Hoys Kscapc. Police h. adquarters. notified bv First came the news of the expulsion of the Germans from the west bank of the Yser bringing to a climax the most desperate stage of the Hgiiting on that fi'ont. That this success should have come so shortly after the assurapticn of the British of the positions along the whole of this line, was the soiu'ce of the pride to the English people. Then came the report from the Firth of the Forth that a Ger¬ man submarine raid, similar to that atler-pt against Dover, had been tried at that port ^vith resul ts eq-.ially disastrous to the Ger¬ man navy. The Scottish port bat tcries succeeded in sinking two of the submarines according to a n unconni-med report. All day and far into the night the crowds about the bulletin boards awaited news of the sinking of the Dresden, the sole re¬ maining unit of Admiral Voii Spee? f^eet. It was not until well :cr midnight that there was p listed a bulletin from Buenos Ayres stating that the Dresden had been beached at Puerto Galli- gos. The report was generally credited as previous reports had been that the Dresden had been seen in aa inlet on the Patagon- ian coast. STURDIES VICTO PY NOW COMPLSTE Although there were only a few strag'glers abroad the news spread rapidly that the victory oi Admiral Sturdee had been mado complete. It was generally accepted hove that the Dresden had been ov- ertaken by the British .slijps and holed so that she wa^ maldng water and had been run on the beach to save her crew, who, with the ship must be interned for the war. It is pointed out that the mouth of the Galligos river in which is located Puerto GaUigos is about 700 miles fromFalklands, whero on Tuesday the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipzig were sent to the bottom and the cruiser Num berg sunk after a chase. Four days have elapsed since the battle. Ordinarily^ v.ith the Dresden in condition, this distance is well within a days cruise. The Brit¬ ish ships speed all equalled or excee.isd that of the Dresden and it is generally believed that during' these four days the Dresden has been engaged in a running fight fr om which she emerged in such a crippiea tondition as to leave he r commander th;s sole alternative, (Coutinucd on Pasp :i.)
