The naval correspondent of the "Observer" says that the submarine which was sunk bv the Baralong was the destroyer of the Arabic. The hands of the crew were still dripping with the blood of women and children'. .Germany's .allegations had not, neen proved, her witnesses were contradictory and unreliable, but the commander of the Baralong obviously could not allow the Germans to ieaeri'the Nicosiau, to which they were rwimming instead .pf the Baralong. > The Germans could have taken out the ..valves and held up their hands and " cried "kamerad." .. Concerning the German comriiander. most people think that the destroyer of the Arabic: deserved his alleged "fate. The statement .that he at- • •tempted to surrender is contradicted. "We are sorry the British kicked the faces of dead men. It is palpable that the world knows what to think of those who whine ovel- the necessary shooting of a submarine's crew while they go pit perpetratiner outrages like the sinking of the Persia."
