GERMAN CRUISERS
SUNK By BRITISH
Nine British Warships in the
Great Sea Fight.
DRESDEN ALONE SURVIVES
Battle Cruisers Lion and Indefatisable
Reported With Fleet Which De-
suoyed German Squadron
In South Atlantic.

London. = The Official bureau an
nounced that the German cruiser
Nurnberg, one OF the warships which
escaped from the English in the en-
gsgement of December S, has been
sunk.
The text of the official bureau state
ment reads:
"A further telegram has beer re-
ceived from vice-Admiral Sir Frederic
Doyeton Sturdee reporting that the
Nurnberg was also sunk on December
s and that the search for the Dresden
is still proceeding.
THE action lasted for five hours
with intervals. The Scharnhorst sank
after three hours and the Gneisenau
two hours later. The enemy's light
cruisers scattered and were chased by
our cruisers and light cruisers.
"No loss of any British vessel is
reported"
The Dresden Cornered.
The German cruiser Dresden, the
only warship of Admiral Count Won
Specs squadron to escape after the
battle has been cornered in the Straits
of Magellan, according TO advices from
Buenos Aires.
The naval division commanded by
Admiral Sturdee is understood to in
clude nine warships. notably the Brit
ish battle cruisers Lion and Indefati-
gable.
The destruction Of a majority Of
the ships of the German squadron had
an immediate effect on insurance
rate and the government rate
for insurance of cargies against
war risk was reduced from two
guineas to one and one-half guineas
per cent. One member of Lloyds who
recently has not been accepting any
business resumed operations.
The impression prevails among
naval men that Admiral Won Spec.
realizing that he could no longer keep
out of touch with the British and
Japanese fleets patrolling the Pacific,
decided to enter the Atlantic and make
run for home, in the hope that at
least some of his ships would get
past the British. This move. it is
said, was anticipated by the Admiralty
and Vice-Admiral Sturdee was sent
south to head of the Germans before
thev could get well in to the Atlantic
ana scatter. which would have made
their capture more difficult.
