WHY THE GERMAN FLEET WAS NOT DEFEATED
LONDON, 15th November,

Admiral Wemyss, fixing him with his monocle, retorted : "It had only to come out."
Sir David Beatty will meet the German naval envoys to-day. A British squadron picked up the cruiser Konigsberg and convoyed her to the chosen trysting place at sea, where the Germans boarded Sir David Beatty's flagship.
