.SEYDLITZ TURRET HIT.
German Writer Says Damage wss
slight In Recent Battle.

BERLIN, via London. Feb. 5.-Otto Won
Gottberg, noted German writer, IA
publishing in the newspapers here Sc
ries OF articles relating TO the German
navy and it's activities, with the purpose
OF giving eyewitness accounts OF en-
gagements at sea and seemingly an criti-
cism of the British navy. The hrst
article describes the North Sea battle
on January 20, In which the German
cruiser Bluecher was sunk He says:
with the exception Of the Bluecher.
the cruiser Seydlitz was the only Ger
man vessel to sustain any real injury
as a result OF the two hour lombard
ment from the British fleet.
The British were firing at an extreme
range. They kept at this distance to
be protected from the fire OF our sec
ondary batteries.
This probably is the reason the shell
which struck the Seydlitz and the other
which struck the battleship Dernlinger
were virtually without force. The blows
they gave were so weak Il has not been
necessary to replace the armor plates
The shell which caused the FIRE on
the Seydlitz pierced the foundations OF
a turrct and detonated some ammunition
on board. This caused fire and loss OF
life In the turret Otherwise the Seyd-
litz was not damaged. and her fghtins
ability was restored as soon as this fre
was extingushed.
The German squadron was damaged

LONDON. Feb. 5.-Telegraphing from
Petrograd tonight, the correspondent OF
tho Daily MdH says;
The battle now in progress thirty
Ave 10 forty miles from Warsaw is the
hardest fought and most costly in life
OF the whole war Military critics say
that the formations in which the Ger
mans are attacking are more solid than
any recorded in the history OF organized
warfare.
Along a front not quite seven miles
in extent the Germans employed 10000
infantry and 500 guns, mostly field ar
| tlllery and some OF heavier calibre
| Nothing like the method OF advance
practtsed here has been seen since the
! Macedonian phalanX. This was sixteen
men deep and the German are only nine
men deep. but the numbers are infinitely
greater than those employed In the am
| cient war. The density OF the forma-
ton may be estimated by the fact that
II the whole force advanced shoulder
to shoulder II would cover forty miles
| instead of six or seven miles"

PAPER BLOCKADE NOT

Marine Insurance Rates Here
Little Affected by Ger

Marine insurance underwriters, al
though feeling somewhat more nervous
about risks on shipping to the British
Isles because of the German declaration
against shipping. expressed the opinion
yesterday that unless there is actual
neutral ship destruction by Germany the
forward movement OF trade from this
country to Great Britain and France
would not be lessened in volume.
The principal underwriters said the
German announcement left the situation
one Of doubt. occasionng a moderate
rise IN war risk Insurance rates. but that
there would he no slowing up OF ship
ments until Germany showed whether
she was able to make good" on her
threats.
The war risk rate to the west coast OF
England was advanced yesterday from
u Of per cent. to | per cent, and In
some cases -. per cent. Until the re-
cent German submarine raid In the Irish
Sesfhe rate had been from a to NJ OF
per cent. To the west coast the rate
which has been about ! u per cent, was
advanced Yesterday.
Underwriters got a rumor from Lon
don that two big underwriters there had
closed their books on war risk insur.
ance FOR the time being. Business here
however. went on regularly under the
Increased rates.
II was held by some underwriters that
