Reported That German Liigh t
Cruiser Kalberg was Sunk
GERMAN CLAIMS ARE GROWING
Berlin Now Asserts that A Cruiser
and Two Destroyers Were
Sunk.

London, Jan. 27-The British Ad.
mirality received and gave out tonight
Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty's pre-
liminary report of the North Sea bat
tie on Sunday, which, in addition to
indicating that two German cruisers
were sunk, contradicts fatty the Ger
man contention that one or more Brit
ish vessels were sunk
Vice Admiral Beatty, after mention
ing the destruction of the Blucher,
says German prisoners report that
the German light cruiser Kalberg also
was sunk. Acting upon this report
the Admiral issued a statement to-
night saying that the Kalberg was re-
ported 10 have been destroyed
The British Vice Admiral also con-
firms the report that two other Ger
man battle cruisers were set afire and
seriously damaged during the fight.
The Vice Admiral asserts that the
Lion and the Tiger were the only Brit
ish ships damaged and that these can
be repaired in short time. Previous
reports indicated that the destroyer
Meteor had been damaged but Vice
Admiral Beatty says, after referring
to the Lion and the Tiger, the re-
mainder OF the squadron were not
hit

NEWSPAPERS IN INDIA.
They Seem to Be Run In a Happy go
lucky Sort of Way.


lucky Sort of Way.
Americans, accustomed TO the hustle
sn6 hustle of our newspapers that are
enterprising TO marvellous extent,
would be amazed if not exasperated
with the papers of India. One Of these
sheets recently published this explana-
tion;
c'This is only the beginning 67 our
paper. We were not sure how much
matter was required to fill 1t up, and,
thinking we had sufficient, we did not
exert ourselves much TO get any more.
We therefore beg that our readers VIII
excuse us for the space left blank and
promise to do better and get more in
the future"
How many subscribers would that
paper have in this country? Still more
curious was the announcement OF
paper that came out with two columns
blank, the editor having the cheek to
say that large quantity of exceeding
ly interesting matter has been left out
for want, of space.
When the average East Indian editor
wants holiday he suspends publica-
ton until it is convenient to resume
and, taking the public into his conf
dence, informs them plainly why the
paper was not issued on the expected
dates. "With the consent of our read
ers we now propose to take our annual
holiday. We are sure none of them
will begrudge us our relaxation. st

GERMANS CLAIMS GROW
Berlin Now Contends That Three
British Ships Sank

Berlin, Jan. q (by Wirless to Say.
vile, l.. ID-Contradicting the British
reports that in the naval fight in the
North Sea on Sunday no British ships
were lost and that pursuit of the Ger
man ships was finally abandoned on
account of German mines and sub
marines, the following official state
ment was given out today by the Ger
man Government.
in the three hours fight which cost
us the armored cruiser Blucher one
British battle-cruiser and two British
destroyers were sunk.
These facts not only were observ-
ed by our big ships, but also We're as
certained by German torpedo boat,
which returned unhurt. This torpedo
boat, shot two torpedoes against a
British battle-cruser, which already
was heeling over, whereupon she cap
sized and sank
This also was ascertained by
German dirigible which was flying
over the fighting zone The dirgihle
observed on other British ships falling
masts and tunnels. IL is certain,
therefore, that further cruisers were
seriously damaged.
Finally the British feet withdrew
from the German squadron and be-
yond the reach of their guns. There
was no question of pursuit of the Ger
man ships, because the high speed of
the British vessels would have enab-
led them to catch up with and destroy
the German cruisers.
This time it is possible to verify
the British reports. which ii was i'm
possible to do in the case of the bat
tie off the Falkland Islands, of which
details are lacking We only know
that several British ships are now
docking at Gibraltar to repair damag-
es inflicted by the German cruisers
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and that,
therefore. the British official report on
the battle off the Falkland Islands at
least is incomplete and colored in the
British interests.
THE unreliability OF The reports Of
the British Admiralty is also proved |
by the fact that the Admiralty even
now does not admit the loss OF the
