the German cruisers Scharnhorst and Gneisenau.

declares he passed seven sunken German ships on the east
coast of England. He could not identify them, but believed
they were warships.

and Breslau by Turkey, has been made the occasion of action
by the British, French, Belgian and Russian allies, which are

cruisers, which she considers will upset the equilibrium of
power in the Levant.

1 5,500,000 men, 2,000.000 of whom are on the German and
Austrian frontiers.
