The ” Kent ” as taken a very notable part in the war at sea. In the Falklands fight she chased and, t.oanks to the strenuous exertions of the engine-room staff, brought to action, the German cruiser ” Niiunberg,” sinking that vessel after a ship-to-ship fight of two and a-half hours. Her shot-torn silken flag, presented by the Ladies of Kent, was recently shown to the Queen. In sinking the ” Niirnberg,” the “Kent” avenged her sister – ship, the ” Monmouth.” It was the ” Nirnberg ” which (as the German despatch stated), at the battle of Coronet. fired the broadsides under which the hero-c ” Monmouth ” sank. On March t4, the ” Kent ” had a hand, with the ” Glasgow ” and ” Orana,” in setthnL the fate of the ” Dresden,” the last survivor of
Admiral Spee’s squadron. -The Archbishop of York has just returned from visiting the naval bases on the North Sea and the Grand Fleet. “I went to the Fleet,” says Dr. Lang, “with a message ; but I return feeling that I am really bringing a message. The splendid tenacity, nerve, and patience of these men make our sacrifices at home by comparison as naught.”—-The feature of the National Fete celebration in Paris this year was the transference of the remains of Rouget de Lisle, composer of the “Marseillaise,” from Choisy-le-Ro, Cemetery to the Invalides, in Paris. The coffin was borne on a gun-carriage of the Revolution period, and was met at the Arc de Triomphe by President Poincari., who followed it to its final resting-place.
