LONDON, June 6.
Tho German battlo cruiser fleet has been
reduced to thrco or four units. If not less,
es a result of the naval engagement In the
Nojth Sea on Wednesday, It Is declared
here.
As lato official reports aro received It
becomes more and more evident, experts
say, that the British fleet won a declnive
victory over the German high seas fleet.
At least IS German men-of-war aro now
believed to havo been destroyed, aggregat
ing 113,435 tons. Fourteen battleships are
admitted lost.
The British Grand Fleet Is In complete
control of tho North Sea and virtually as
powerful as ever. It Is declared here. Tho
German fleet Is both badly battered and
heavily weakened aa a result of the losses
sustained on Wednesday and Wednesday
night, Britons assert. It will be many
weeks before repairs can be made to put
the German fleet in fighting trim.
junuiant strategy waa shown by Admiral
Sir John Jelllcoe and by Admiral Sir David
Beatty. High tribute Is paid to the lower
officers and men allko. It was significant that
the German Naval Office in commenting
upon tho great battle paid particular com
pliments to the courage of the British
. sailors, who fought gallantly to tho very end
tvhllo their ships were sinking beneath them.
Aa the figures stand at present, It is
estimated that 32 ships were lost. If the
Germans lost 18 ships, as now claimed, the
loss of life may hava been as high as
tSOO, men.
An official statement. Issued by the Brit
ish Admiralty last night, declares that there
is "no doubt" that the German losses in tho
great sea light of May 31, off the Danish
coast, wero greater than those of the
British.
The statement also reveals, for the first
time, that the British grand fleet in the lat
ter phase of the battle actually came Into
action against the German high seas fleet
the first time in the war that either main
battle fleet had fired a shot. (The German
official statements have from the first con
tended that the British main fleet waa en
gaged, but this was at first denied by the
British.)
This statement has had a profound effect
on the British public ; and British pride In
the navy, after surviving the heavy blow
inflicted by the early and unfavorable re
ports of the flght, has already remounted
to even, greater heights than before.
The casualty lists of the Admiralty now
issued also show that the British casualties,
terrible aa they were, were still not quite so
staggering aa had been feared from the
early reports,

LONDON, June E Wounded sailors and
unwounded survivors who have reached
England give thrilling accounts of tho
notion. When Uio engagement opened, on
Wednesday afternoon, the ships were IB
miles apart, tho gunners on both sides firing
nt invisible targets.
(sailors said tho battle was fought In n
sen calm as a mill pond, with a mist hang
ing low, making firing at tho longer ranges
almost Impossible.
"It sounded like 10 thunderstorms rolled
Into one," was the description of one. Most
briefed It by saying It was "hell."
The night duel between the British battle
cruiser Invincible and a powerful German
ship whose Identity Is uncertain was
worthy of the traditions of Nelson, says. the
Dally Mall.
"The two ships fought like bulldogs, all
tho guns roaring as fast ns they could be
loaded and fired.
"Within half an hour after tho battle
began both ships had been sot on fire and
the flames lighted up tho gray superstruc
tures ns great olumcs of black smoke
belched up
"Mighty guns were fired In salvos. It
wns a fight to dcrth. Both battleships went
t6 tho bottom. Admiral Hood went down
with tho Invincible, his flag ship, and both
men of war disappeared with their flags
flying."
The naval correspondent of tho Morning
Tost calls the engagement tho most notable
lctory achieved by tho royal navy In mod
ern times.
An Interview printed In tho Times, which
a sailor on board n battleship gave, says
In pirti
"It was Just nfter 3 o'clock on Wednes
day afternoon when tho order sounded
through the ship that sent every mnn to
his post Tho decks were already cleared
for action ns we wero near German water
and wero prepared for any emergenoy.
Thcro wns a trying wait when wo didn't
know what wad going to happen. At last
word went around that Admiral Beatty's
flag, tho battlo cruiser Lion which was
leading our line, hnd signaled that tho
enemy wns In sight. It was not many min
utes nfterwnrd that the Lion fired the first
shot It was n very long range, but we
wero going at full speed and rapidly draw
ing In upon the Germans.
"Ono by one, tho other ships began firing,
and then for five hours we were at It, every
gun raining shells at top speed upon the
enemy. AVe were shaping a zigzag course
nil tho time, In order to prevent the enemy
from keeping the range. Most of the fight
ing was dono at kOOO jards, and it wns
decidedly deadly for tho Germans. The
German ships outnumbered us, but tills
would not have mattered If they had not
the advantage In position, also. During a
good part of the fighting the sun made It
very difficult for our gunners. Tho Ger
mans could see us nil right, but It wai very
hard for us to seo them. The shells wero
dropping around us like hall, somo hlttirtg
nnd other falling Into tho water and casting
up high columns of spray.
"Our armor plato was dented with holes
six Inches doep In somo places, but none o
tho German shells hit us in a vital spot,
or oven put any of our guns out of com
mission Tho worst part of the bombard
ment was the use of gas shells, which ex
ploded on board, filling tho vessel with sick
ening fumes. There were only n few men
killed and wounded on our ship, but I saw
two or three others burning, and I believe
ono was the Invincible. I saw the Queen
Mary blow up.
"If tho Germans wero using Zeppelins
I did not see any of them. It Is doubtful
for the Germans apparently had no warn
ing of the approach of our big ships.
"Tho Queen Mary was the first of the
English ships to go down. A gigantic
shell pushed into her thinner plating, ex
ploding tho magazine. The ship buckled
up nnd sank like a stone. Tho next victim
of German shells was the Indefatigable.
German shells filled with poison gas filled
the vessel with volumes, and worked great
Jvavoo among tho gun crow. Soon the Lton
had to fait out of line, one of her turrets
having Jammed and several of her guns
haying been put out of commlsalno.
"About this time tho Invincible, In
domitable and Inflexible arrived from an-
omer station, and with them armored
cruisers of tho second cruiser squadron, In
cluding the Warrior, Defence and Black
Prince.
'"The Invincible was riddled with shells
and tas struck by a torpedo in a vital
spot."
A dispatch from Edinburgh quotes the
Scotsman as eaylng that a Zeppelin was
shot down by tho Queen Mary before she
sank and fell In flames not far from the
vessel. .
During the night fighting the air wan
il? k. wlth fo nt I'lffh wind sprang up
which made tho seas run heavy. It was the
roughness of the water that compelled the
f onndonmont of the Warrior. She had beon
oadly rlddlod and water was pouring Into

ADMIRALTY CLAIMS FALSE
BERLIN, June 6. Great Britain's claim
to victory In the naval fight bt Wednes
day la taken ne an enormous Joko by all
normany. Tho claim la not even accorded
the dignity of serious attention. It does
not arouse lro or resentment, but mirth
only. '
"Yes." irrlnncd one official. "Oreal Britain
won an enormous tnctlcal victory. About I name them?
two more such tactical victories nnd the
British navy would be reduced to row
boats." Tho Germans reatlfce Just the position
Great Britain Is In. For years and years
they have been boasting of their peerless
inivrr. Alnriff fjimn ttm land flshtlnff and
England did not take her full Dart, but
always referred to Its peerless navy the
unbeatable nrlde of tho seas which when
the moment came would smash Germany
forever. It was the navy which waa "go
ing; to dig the rats out of their holes."
Then catne the fight, and when the snioke
o battle cleared away the pride of tho
British navy waa nt the bottom of tho
North Sea and tho German fleet was riding
safely at anchor In Its homo port, according
to tho German view.
The Germans point out that the British
Admiralty was almost forced to make false
claims of German losses to prevent the
Bhock of the worst naval drubbing of the
war from proving too heavy a depressant
on tho English people.
When the claim of the British that heavy
German battleships wero destroyed Is men
tioned, German officials tmillo blandly ntul
ask "Why doesn't the British Admiralty
It should be easy enough
If they wero sunk. We were net at a low
to name th6 British ships whloh went
down." .
The Germans claim that ho preserit

complete losses and asserting f"W

with their system t distributing news
