GERMANS STILL INSIST
BRITISH LOST A CRUISER
Destruction Accomplished by Tor
pedo Boat, According to Testi-
mony Of Officers in Battle.

BERLIN, February 4 tby wireless to
Sayville. N. Y.).-German admiralty Of
ficers assert that there is no longer any
possibility of doubt that a British battle
cruiser was sunk in the naval battle in
the North sea January "a, during which
the German cruiser Bluecher went down
They say that this has been established
definitely by the testimony of a large
number of officers and men who took
part in the fight.
The destruction of the British battle
cruiser, according to these statements.
was accomplished by the German torpedo
boat destroyer VS.. commanded by Lieut..
Won Eichorn. The VS., it is said.
launched torpedoes at a distance of five
miles from the British warship, demon
strating the exceptional range of German
torpedoes.
The admiralty officers express the be-
lief that the British battle cruiser Tiger
was sunk.
No further news has been received
here concerning the use of German sub
marines against British transports. 1t
is believed that Germanys action is di-
rected solely against transports, and that
a submarine blockade of France is not
contemplated.
The British admiralty in its report of
the North sea battle insisted that no
British Warships were sunk. The Tiger
was damaged, the British claim, but was
reported two days after the battle to
have returned to her moorings.

report on conditions in the German
camps.

Blockade Not Intended.

Though the Morning Post and other

that its policy is the same today as in

Treatment of the Wilhelmina.

Great Britain has decided that if the
American steamer Wilhelmina, now on
her way with a cargo of foodstuffs for
Germany, is intercepted, her cargo
Will be submitted to prize court,
so that the new situation arising out
of the action of Germany in ordering
that all grain and -four shall be placed
under control of the government may
be regulated. In a statement the Brit
ish foreign Office says:
THE new German decree makes it
evident that all grain and -four Is to
pass under control of the German gov
ernment, and it must therefore, when
imported, be regarded as virtually con-
signed to the German government or to
the authorities under their control.
This creates a novel situation, and
it is probable that if the destination
and cargo of the Wilhelmina are as
supposed the cargo will, if the vessel
court in order that the new situation
created by the German decree may be
examined and a decision reached upon
it after full consideration.
Compensation to Be Given for Loss.
There is no question of taking any
proceedings against the vessel. and the
owners of the vessel will be indemni-
fed for any delay caused to it, and
the shippers of the cargo compensated
for any loss caused to them by the
action of the British authorities.
There is no truth whatever in the
statement made in the press that it
has been decided that other such con-
signments will be seized, together
with the vessels, without compensation
to neutrals. for no decision has yet
been taken to depart from previously
existing rules or practice

Urge Control of Food.

In view of the increased cost of food,
which is due almost entirely to
higher freight rates and the conges
ton of goods at the docks, members of
the corporations of Glasgow, Liver
pool and other cities in the kingdom
have proposed the passage of resolu-
tions for the framing of petition to
the government in favor Of govern
ment control of foodstuffs and coal
and shipping services. Strong views
were expressed that immediate action
by the government was necessary. as
wheat, flour and coal are daily in
creasing in price.
Some of the speakers deprecated gov
ernment control OF sugar and the pro-
countries desiring to send in supplies
This prohibition is due, as Home Sec
retary Reginald McKenna told the
house of commons, to fear that such
imports would be replaced by supplies
from Germany.
Prices to Be Discussed.
The entire question of food prices
will be discussed in the house of com
mons next Thursday, when Premier
Asquith has promised to make a. state
ment on the situation. Meantime a
committee has been appointed to in
IOli iHtO thC SoiSCStion Ol BOOQS on

a resolution for introduction in the
house of commons, insisting that the
rise of prices is not justified by the
economic consequences of the war, but
is due to the holding up of stocks of
goods and Inadequate transport facili-
ties The resolution calls upon the
government to provide transport fa-
cilitieS and to fix maximum prices by
