CLAIM BRITISH
ship WAS SUNK
Big Fight OF Falkland Islands
Lasted From9 o'ClockA.M.
Until I in the Evening

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. - Dis
patches to the German embassy to-
day from the German minister at
Santiago, Chile, announced, that the
British fleet, which sank the cruisers
Scllarnhorst, Gneisneau and Leipzig
off the Falkland islands recently, was
badly damaged and that one of the
British ships apparently was sunk.
A statement issued tonight at the
embassy said:
According to information received
by the German embassy from Chile the
battle off the Falkland islands lasted
from 8 O'Clock in the morning until Z
o'clock in the evening.
Inflexible, Canopus, Carnarver, Con
wall, Kent, Glasgow, and Bristol were
engaged; many German officers anc
men were saved but lack OF boats pre-
vented the number from being larger
The British cruiser Defiance did not
take part and has been seen aground
at Port Stanley.
"Only seven English cruisers left
the scene of battle, SO that cne must
have been sun. The others were bad
ly damaged
It was suggested tonight that the
dispatches from the German minister
In Chile telling of the naval engage.
ment probably summarized report
from the commander of the German
cruiser Dresden, the only vessel thai
escaped. The Dresden put in at Punt;.

hood, which were reinforced as soon
as the presence of the Germans was
signalled.
The official account of the attack,
as issued by the press bureau, with
more complete details from the war
office, follows:
"This morning cruiser force made
demonstration on the Yorkshire
coast in the course Of which they
shelled Hartlepool, Whitby and Scar
borough.
"A number Of their fastest ships
were employed for this purpose and
they remained about an hour on the
coast.
"They were engaged BY patrol yes
sells on the spot AS soon as the
presence of the enemy was reported
q British patrolling squadron en-
deavOred to cut them off. On being
sighted by the British vessels the
Germans retired at full speed and,
favored by the mist, made their es-
cape.
"The losses on both sides were
small but full reports have not yet
been received.
'The admiralty takes the opportun-
ity Of pointing out the demonstrations
Of this character against unfortified
towns or commercial ports, though
not difficult to accomplish, providing a
certain amount of risk is excepted,
are devoid Of military significance.
"They may cause some loss Of life
among the civil population and some
damage to private property which is
much to be regretted; but they must
not in any circumstances be allowed
to modify the general naval policy
which is being pursued"
The official press bureau late last
night issued the following statement
from the war office regarding the
Fergus County Democrat. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1904-1919, 1914-12-17

Father inland, the French also claim
to have gained ground, although in a
less marked degree than on previous
days. In the Argonne there apparent
ly has been lull in the fighting, but
in the Woevre and Alsace, the two
other regions where severe fighting
has been in progress for some time,
the Germans appear to have delivered
counter attacks.
In Poland preparations are being
made for new battle or series of
battles. The Russians, according to
former member of the cabinet at
Petrograd, have decided, despite the
disappointment it must cause, to with
draw their left wing, at least, and
form new line back in their own
territory. This will relieve Cracow,
but will compel the Austro- German
forces to fight farther away from the
strategic railways by which they so
quickly moved their troops to desired
points.
This plan doubtless will affect the
rest of the battle front, also, except in
the extreme north of Poland, where
the German column has been driven
back by superior force of Russians.
A Rome dispatch credits the Aus
trians with having admitted the loss

England, 7,768.
Germany, 3,818.
United States, 1861.

Representative Witherspoon sug.
gested that these figures might be
changed by today's events in the
North sea, and Mr.. Roosevelt agreed
that they might be very materially
changed before morning.
Better ships and equipment for the
naval militia were urged by the assist
ant secretary as the most practical
way of building up reserve. He said
the navy now could command about
1000 militiamen in case of need.
The navy, Mr.. Roosevelt assured the
committee, had gone steadily ahead in
the last year, had improved its per-
sonnel, had better ships than ever be-
fore, owned more ammunition and had
increased the number of both subma-
rines and torpedo boats.
"Are we any less prepared than ever
before?" asked Representative Gray of
Indiana.
81 am unable to answer that ques-
ti0n, as l do not know definitely what
the condition of other powers is at this
time."
"Have you any reason to believe we
are any less prepared?"
"Yes. comparatively, because GER
tain other nations have been making
preparations in various way. drilling

GERMAN OFFICIAL NEWS.
BERLIN, Dec. 16.-The official press
bureau tonight gave out the following
items for publication:
"The Senussi tribesmen have begun
an attack against the British in Egypt
During the last two weeks fight
ing in Poland, the Russians have lost
about 100000 men. A correspondent
was taken to German artillery posi-
ton during the fight He declares that
among all the men there was keen
enthusiasm and splendid discipline. He
says the Germans are being well cared
for.
"The Russians, during the retreat,
carried away all victuals. The Russian
Poles are in great distress. They are
being poorly fec, mainly with potatoes.
The German authorities are doing all
they can to prevent famine among the
population. They have allowed the
people to search the battlefield for
wood. There is an excellent under
standing between the Germans and the
inhabitants in the conquered territory

German raid:
"At 8 a. m. today three enemy ships
were sighted off Hartlepool, and at
8:l5 they commenced a bombardment
These ships appeared to be two battle
cruisers and one armored cruiser.
"The land batteries replied and are
reported to have hit and damaged the
senemy.
AT $3.50 the firing ceased and the
enemy steamed away. None of our
guns were touched One shell fell in
the royal engineers lines ad several
in the lines of the Eighteenth service
battalion Of the Durham light infantry
THE casualties among the troops
amounted to seven killed and IA
wounded.
During the bombardment, especial
y in West HartlepOol, the people
crowded in the streets and approx.
mately % were killed and SO wounded
AT the same time battle cruiser
and an armored cruiser appeared off
Scarborough and fired about so shots
which caused considerable damage
and 13 casualties are reported.
AT Whitby two battle cruisers fired
shots, doing damage to buildings and
the following casualties are reported !:
Two killed; two wounded.
AT the three places there was an
entire absence of panic and the de
meanor of the people was everything
that could be desired"
A wave of intense anger has spread
over England because of the attack
and bitter denunciation is heard every,
where Of a policy which permits the
shelling OF undefended towns. The
fortress at the mouth of the Tees is
supposed to give some protection to
the important shipping base Of Hartle-
pool, but Whitby and Scarborough are
as open to the enemy as Atlantic

City on the New Jersey coast.
Scarborough, with its old castles
on high hill. the big casino with a
high tower and the row of pretentious
hotels on the waterfront, presents a
shining mark for target practice. Few
visitors were at the hotels because OF
the cold weather. but one invalid is
known to have been wounded and was
taken away on Stretcher.
In direct line. the mouth Of the
Tees is about $50 miles from Helgo-
land, the German naval base in the
North sea. The British admiralty
says the German ships were among
their fastest. They chose night
when thick mist prevailed to reach
the English coast and must have left
their base at least two hours before
dark. AS they started to return,
about . o'clock, there still remained
about seven hours OF daylight for the
pursuit, which, however, was rendered
almost impossible by the fog.
How the Germans evaded all the
mines and patrols remains somewhat
Of mystery, although experts recall
that in maneuvers British ships per
formed the same feat in the compare
lively small space between England
and Scilly islands, which, however
was not mined.
The admiralty report announces that
such demonstrations are not difficult
to accomplish but the population gen
orally cherished SO great a confidence
in the protection Of the British navy
that the inhabitants of the coast towns
made no serious preparations to meet
a bombardment
Except for the wcrlSing people, the
English are apt to be late risers in
the short winter DAYS. The lombard
