London, February 1
A naval chaplain who was present in the North Sea fight writes : '' The public would have loved to have heard the cries of our men as they loaded the guns. ' That's for Scarborough!' ' That's for the babykillers'.' they shouted. Then they sang 'Tipperary.' The enthusiasm was intense. For evening service we had a voluntary attendance, and the battery-deck was crammed with men who realised their gratitude to God. - '
