“SHIP WITHOUT HARBOUR”
Sir, — I am sure your readers will be interested, in view of the sentimental nonsense a section of the people are talking about the Emden, in seeing this stanza from a very popular German song, lauding the exploits of the famous raider: BJiip without harbour, knowing no ease L njorgettable queen of the seas j “Emden,” thou never, never canst die. uver the seas, thy shadow shall fly. -Krer to make the Britishers quail. Bver xn German hearts to sail. Yet the namesake of this ship, which sailed under the British flak disguised as the cruiser Yarmouth, is tlie one stupid people propose to fawn and fuss over. If they must feel mock sentiment themselves, thev might at least study the feelings of New Zealand mothers who lost sons at the front and daughters, too, in the hospital ships \\.licit were sunk by submarine (Continued in next column.)
commanders engaged in the pleasant campaign in which our impending guest, Captain Von Arnauld, participated with such distinction. DONNEEWETTER.
