BERLIN TELLS OF
NORTH SEA FIGHT
Two British Vessels Sunk and Num-
ber Hit. Germans Escaping With
out Serious Damage.

London. May 1.-THE British Off
cial press bureau today issued this
announcement:
The following statement dated Ber-
lin May . has been officially circulat-
ed through the German wireless sta
tions and received by the MarcOni
company;
The main headquarters reported
some weeks ago that a large number
of reports were current which origin
ated in Norway that near Bergen, on
the Norwegian coast, during the night
from the 9Th to the Sth OF April heavy
sea fighting between English and Ger
man ships had taken place Ships
coming from that direction also re-
ported they had seen squadrons of
warships On the night in question
gunfre, by the aid of Illuminating
rockets, had been noticed.
with regard 10 these reports,
some light now has been thrown on
the matter by the commander of the
submarine a ?, which was destroy
ed in the Dardanelles. According to
letter which came into our possession
regarding the North sea fight which is
said TO have taken place, the British
hattleship Superb is said to have been
sunk and the cruiser Warrior is said
10 have been sinking, without the
German navy having suffered any
loss. On Friday, the 9th of April. a
number of cruisers are said to have
arrived in a badly damaged condi-
ton. The Lion was very badly dam
aged. Official reports say nothing of
all this.
similar reports have come to
hand from reliable neutral sources
that a number OF badly damaged and
slightly damaged ships had reached
English ports for repairs. The man
ner in which they had been damaged
is unexplained
AN especially large number of
damaged ships ran into the Tyne. A
ship of the Lion class. with a star
board list and with her aft funnel
missing was towed into the Firth OF
Forth
The silence of the admiralty on
all this is easily to be understood As
the German navy took no part in
any fighting on the night in question,
and as a fight with neutral vessels is
out of the question. a battle can only
have taken place between ships of the
British fleet which did not recognize
each other in the darkness
THE secretary of the British ad-
states there is not a word of
truth in the fabrication. It is, how
ever. interesting as a mark of the
anxiety of Germany at the present
TO make an impression on /
neutral states"

Parties Would Be United.

Consequently the Italian parties
would be united in support of a war
policy. in the judgment of French OBJ
servers, based on two fundamental
considerations, namely, that wrongs
have been done to Serbia and Belgium,
and that the racial aspirations of the
Italians on the eastern shore of the
Adriatic and in the Mediterranean now
can be satisfied.
Military writer's are presenting the
argument that war for Germany and
Austria on a third frontier undoubted-
" will make the resistance of the CEN
trail empires on their other fronts
more feeble. so much so that with the
advent of Italy, victory over Germany
is set for the middle OF the summer

Paris, May lit is being persist
emily rumored in Paris that Germany
and Austria-Hungary have already de-
clared or are about to declare war on
Italy in anticipation of such action on
her part directed against themselves.
This report, however. has received no
confirmation OF any kind.
Another rumor current on the
bourse today was that the Italian gov
ernment had signed an agreement with
the allies, Great Britain, France and
Russia, to take part in the war not
later than May &C. This rumor also
is without confirmation.
French observers of the political sit
.uation in Italy infer from the audience
yesterday between King Victor En-
manuel and former Prime Minister
Giolitti that the non-intervention party
in Italy has determined TO withdraw
all opposition to the war.

Emperor Appeals to Queen.

Rome, May 11.-(Via Paris THE
Agency National says Emperor Will
liam has written TO Dowager Queen
Margherita, mother of King Victor
Emmanuel. pointing out advantages he
believes would accrue to Italy should
it remain neutral, and urging her to
intervene TO avoid a conflict with Aus
tria- The widow of King Humbert is
quoted as having replied to the ruler:
In the house of Savoy we reign one at
a time" Emperor William is reported
TO have previously written an almost
identical letter to the Italian king.
The Milan Secolo arrests that Italy
demanded the integrity of Serbia and
Belgium as a condition of its neutral
ity and that this was one of the chief
causes of delay in the conversations

Preparations Thorough.

Although negotiations with the cen
tral empires still are pending and
there is a bare possibility the influence
of former Premier Giolitti may avert
war, military preparations pointing to
Austria as an inevitable antagonist are
so thorough and vigorous that con-
fict seems unavoidable.
Even discussions among the opposi-
tion parties have virtually ceased.
Only the irreconcilable socialists,
whose deputies met in the chamber to-
day, still oppose Italy's participation in
the war and their attitude is believed
to be guided more by desire for con-
to the war
Austrian STAFF Still in Rome.

only has no member of the embassy
staff left, but that new secretary is

instructed to make preparations to
protect Prince Won Buelow, German
ambassador to Rome, when he passes
through that city on his way home.
