EMDEN’S DOOM
JAP. CRUISER SUMMONED. ARRIVED TOO LATE. Br Telegraph.—Press Assn. —Copyright. (Received January 25, 7.15 p.m.) SYDNEY, January 25. Speaking at an official dinner, ViceAdmiral Saito supplied the sequel to the capture of the German raider Emden. He said that when the news that the raider was loose in the Pacific was received, the Japanese battle-cruiser Ibuki was rushed off to intercept her, hut the Australian cruiser Sydney got there first. While the Japanese realised what a splendid fight the Sydney bad made, they were a bit disappointed because they were too late to take a hand in the final battle. Referring to the Washington Treaty’s replacement of the AngloJapanese Alliance, he said that it had not altered the feeling between Japan and Britain. If anything, it was stronger than ever.
