New York.-Count Johann Won

A resume Of the ambassadors
views follows:
/. The war is won. The coalition

FIRST IMPORTANT NAVAL ACTION
or WAR RESULTS IN VICTORY
FOR ENcLIsHMEN.
Two Cruisers and Two Torpedo-boat
Destroyers Sent to Bottom, While
One Cruiser Flees Afire and In
Sinking Condition.

London.-Two German cruisers and
two German torpedo-boat destroyers
were sunk by the British feet on Au-
gust 2S. A third cruiser was set afire
and left sinking. This, the frst sea
battle of the world war, occurred or
Helgoland
No British ships we're lost in the
battle. and the British loss of life was
not heavy.
In addition to the two torpedo-boat
destroyers and three cruisers. many
Of the German torpedo-boat destroyers
were damaged.
Twenty-nine killed and thirty-eight
wounded was the price in men paid
by the British for the naval acton.
An official statement issued Sun
day night says that OF 1900 men com
posing the crews of the Ave German
warships sunk OF Heliogoland only
$50 were saved.
The attack ON the German feet
Off Helgoland was initiated by Brit.
ish destroyers, according to accounts
given by the crews Of the vessels
which participated. The destroyers
got fairly close to the German ships
before they were discovered. Then a
cannonade from the German ships
and forts was opened on them and
they gradually drew the German
cruisers toward the sea.
For a time the Germans were in a
position which gave them the advant.
age, British destroyers having to bear
the brunt Of the battle. During one
of the hottest phases OF the fight two
British destroyers got In between two
German cruisers, which feared 20 fire
upon the British lest they hit each
other, while four British destroyers
engaged a Dhird German cruiser and
put her out OF action.
Finally the British battle cruisers
and light cruisers arrived on the
scene and quickly put an end to the
fight.
The Liberty, one of the British de.
stroyers which took part In the battle
of Helgoland, was hit by a she'll
which shattered her mast and tore
away part of her bridge first OF all
and then smashed her searchlights
and killed her commander. Lieutenant
Commander Barteilot, and William
Butcher, his signal man.
Accounts of the battle say IL was
