London, Jan. 12.-An official dis
patch from the Berlin war office says:
Vienna reports state that 1t has been
ascertained that the French dread
nought Courbet was hit by the AUS
trian submarine No. II. The Courbet
was rammed by her sister ship, the
Jean Bart. which was attempting to
tow her. The Courbet sank. The
Jean Bart docked at Malta, badly dam
aged.
"The French pretend that only the
Jean Bart was slightly hurt by a tor
pedo, concealing the loss of the Cour-
bet."
The Courbet was of 23,467 tons dis
placement, and was armed with twelve
l2-inch guns, twenty-five 51a-inch guns
and four 3-pounders. She was built In
1911 and carried a complement Of 998
men.
This is the first modern French war
ship lost during the VIZ.
The cost of the Courbet was $12,541,-

pedo tubes.
