THE LUSITANIA.
ADMIR AL BEATTY RECOLLECTS.
HIS FORCIBLE WORDS
[AUSTRALIAN & N.Z. CASTE ASSOCIATIONJ LONDON, Nov. 24.
A Naval correspondent describing Admiral Beatty’s meeting with the German delegates states Admiral Beatty and bis Staff scrupulously kept aloof, and repulsed any atetmpt to shake bauds with the Germans who were most amic.blv inclined.
At one stage Admiral Beatty ended a severe denunciation of baby killing with the remark —“Had you not skulked in the harbours, but had fought, till this business would have been saved.” At another stage Admiral Beatty was inclined to make concessions to the Germans’ urgent pleading. Then in his own words—"l suddenly thought of-the Lusitania and said I’ll be damned if I do.”
