GERMAN LOSSES IN SOUTH ATLANTIC
2000 IN PERSONNEL LESSONS OF THE ACTION London, December 13. The Naval correspondent of the "Times" says: "If the Numbers was sunk with all haiids the German losses were probably 2000. It is manifest that the victory fell to the better fighting machines.' It has once more been shown that an action decided by gunfire means annihilation, with little damage and small casualties to the victors. It is tempting Providence to place weak ships in positions to met more heavily armed ones." New York, December 13. Thirty thousand Germans are held up at Buenos Ayres, fearing capture by the British fleet. (Eec, December 14, 6.30 p.m.) Washington, December 13.
