All day the battle ragged. In the

But the Germans reinforcements
seemed Inexhaustible and towards
evening they brought up large guam

was badly frightened tonight
and many Of the coast towns
along the channel were report
ed on the verge Of panic fol
lowing reports that German
sruisses and dsstroysrs are
raiding the North sea. They
sank fifteen boats Of the big
North - fishing flsst that had
I sEzlislsd 70 60 ont from
Harwich. The fishermen were
taken to Wilhelmshaven as
prisoners Of war.
How the German fleet es-
capped the British war fleet
which had previously reported
that the seas were safe to Brit
ish and neutral shipping is not
vet known. The admiralty
had announced that the seas
were now safe and had permit
ted the resumption Of shipping
between Antwerp, the Dutch
and Scandinavian ports and
Harwich.
For the last two or three
days, the suggestion has been
made at the admiralty that the
British war fleet was prepar-
ing to attempt to decoy the
German warships out from
their protection behind Heligo-
land and at Wilhelmshaven.
Now it appears that the Ger
mans have not only been able
to break through the watching
Gordon, but have been able to
get out into the North sea to
the fishing grounds. Nervous
Englishmen are asking tonight
why, if they can get that far
out, may they not attempt 2
raid against the British troop
ships that are constantly Cross
ing the channel or against the
numerous British merchant
vessels that have been pu.
back into active service. The
admiralty offered no explana-
ton other than to confirm the
report that these fifteen boats
were sunk,
The official announcement
Of the disaster to the fishing
fleet reads as follows: Two
German cruisers and four de-
stroyers succeeded in sinking
fifteen British fishing boats in
the North sea. They captured
q quantity Of fish, and the fish

war will continue to the bitter
end. No one Of the three great
nations allied will conclude
peace on an individual basis.
This was decided today and
sir EslWs Grey the British
lfSj lIllllilgeY ana cle
French and Russian ambassa-
dors signed an agreement to
that effect.
Heretofore the allies were
bound together only by their
treaties and so far as England
was concerned, this treaty did
not provide for any offensive
and defensive agreement. 1t
would have been possible for
any one Of the three nations:
Russia, France or England, to
have concluded peace with
Germany, on its own account.
In order to emphasize that
the war on Germany must be
carried on to the bitter end,
the French and Russian am
bassadors on the personal in
vitation of Sir Edward Grey
came to the foreign office to-
day. The situation to date
was thoroughly canvassed and
it was agreed that there was
no reason for alarm. It was
recognized that France had
suffered the most and that the
peril was still very real there.
But it was also agreed that the
allies working together would
eventually triumph. It was
then at the suggestion of Sir
Edward Grey that the agree
ment was drawn up which
binds the allies to make com
mon cause together to the very
end.
The agreement-the text of
which is withheld at least for
the present provides that no
single nation shall undertake
to make individual demands
or agree to any proposition for
peace with Germany without
first having the consent and CO.
operation of the other nations.
It is believed here this agree
ment will serve to permit
France and England to have a
final say in any peace negotia-
tions should the German armed
force be crushed. It has been
suggested that Russia might
demand that Austria Hungary
be turned over to her intact af-
ter the war. Now, it is pos
sible for England, trading with

age and said: 3
"Sir Edward Grey and the

mutual agreement on behalf Of

the allies not to conclude peace !

will undertake to make no In

previous mutual agreement.
It was also pointed out that
as a result of this agreement,
even though France should be-
conquered by the Germans and
completely overrun by them,
it would be impossible for the
French government to nego-
tiate peace with Germany on
an individual basis.
It is admitted here that il
the French defensive works
fall before the great German
siege guns, the city must be
surrendered. But even so, it is
explained this would only be a
single event in the great war
itself, and would not affect
the ultimate result. This was
made very plain by Sir Ed

when he today in stimulating
recruiting, declared that Eng
