Berlin (via London), Jan. 25.-Re-
markable figures regarding new Ger

military expert, writing IN the "Artli-
leristische Monats Hefte.'
In discussing an assertion by The
Times" of London, that the German

Krupps are manufacturing gun

Berlin Claims That British
Warship Was Lost in Battle

Berlin, Jan. % via London To
days German official report OF yes
terday's naval engagement in the
North Sea, while admitting the loss
of the Bluecher, says that. according
to information available British
battle cruiser was sunk. This IS at
direct variance with the official Eng
lish version of the fight, which states
that none of the British vessels was
lost. The text Of the German admi-
rally communiea follows;
During the advance Of our armored
cruisers oeydlitz. Derf1inger, Moltke
and Bluecher, which, accompanied by
four smaller cruisers and two fotillas
of torpedo boats, were steamlng IN
the North Sea, these vessels became en-
gagged with a British detachment COM
posed Of five battle cruisers, several
smaller cruisers and t~enty-siX tor
pedo boat destroyers.
"The enemy discontinued the engage
ment after three hours time at a
point 20 miles west-northwest Of Hell
goland, and reiterated.
According TO the information avail
able, one British battle cruiser and
one of our armored cruisers, the
Bluecher. were sunk. All the other
"VON BEHNCKE."
German Papers Optimistic.
The news Of tho sea fight to the
west Of Helgoland was received in
Germany with much satisfaction. de-
spite the loss OF the German cruiser
Bluecher. The Berlin newspapers as
sumo. pending receipt OF the Eng lish
report. that the British battle cruiser
reported sunk in the engagement was
vessel considerably larger than the
Bluecher.
While the names of the British par
Elephants In the battle are not yet
known, il is also assumed that the lve
battle cruisers mentioned greatly out
numbered the Germans IN tonnage and
armament. and in consequence the
newspapers affirm that the withdrawal
Of the British ships from the ight
means a German victory against odds.
They believe also that the retirement
OF the British was nccessitated by the
damaged condition of their vessels.
The Berlin "Lokal Anzeiger,' draw
ing particular attention TO the German
official statement that the British
wsrsbips in the North Sea fight Of
SUNDAY were compelled 70 retire from
action. expresses itself as follows.
"If the British, Notwithstanding their
greater strength, broke off the action;
this is proof that our gunners had
them in hand. German seamen again d d

EXACT IDEAL OF A BUTCHER
Fineness OF Bone, Lack of Paunchiness

(By ] L. TORMEY.l

VDy J =. II
The block is the supreme and final
test of the beef animal The butcher
desires an animal that will deliver
the highest percentage of good cuts,
and show refinement in parts that are
not edible, in order to reduce waste.
Fineness of bone, lack of paunchiness
and a small head are thus desired by
the butcher, but the steer with light
bone, small paunch and frail head
would be unable to go through the
feeding period and make economical
gains.
Even though the strong, vigorous,
capacious feeder may not turn out at
the finish into the exact ideal OF the
butcher, he is the one that puts on

In selecting feeders, there Is per-

The girth of the steer should be large

back of the shoulder should be as large

steer with wide head will grow thick
