Britishers Do Their Duty
Admire Beatty, addressing the officers and mea oa a battle cruiser, said:—<*[ effer you my sincere thanks. Tha battle will evf-r remain a gallant day in history. We carried out what we hoped to do. Most of you have girls. Te 1' them jou did your fluty, which the British are alwajs doing. You cm take it from me we inflicted far greater damage on the Germans than they did on us. They lost so many destroyers we could not manage to count them. We all lost relatives and friends, but their valuable Jives are not wasted. We must now get the ships into condition for the second round. We have only had the first, but in the second I think the Geimans w]\ throw up the sponge."
