BERLIN Fabrication"
DENIED BY ADMIRAL Y
Germany Officially Spreads Report of
Battle Between Vessels OF
British Fleet.
TELLS or GREAT DAMAGE DONE
Explains Firing in North Sea Early
in April With Story of English
Ships Mistalting Each Other in
Darkness for Enemy.

LONDON. May 1.-THE British OIL
cial press bureau to-day issued this
announcement:
The following statement. dated Ber-
lin. May Q. has been officially circu-
lated through the German wireless
stations. and received by the AIarconi
Company:
The main headquarters reported
some weeks ago that a large number
OF reports wer. current which oriei-
mated In Norway to the effect that near
Bergen. on the Norwegian coast dur
ing the night from the eth to the Sth
OF April. heavy sea lighting between
English and German ships had taken
place. ships coming from that direc-
ton also reported that they had seen
squadrons OF warshps. ON the night
In question Euntire By the aid Of illumi-
mating rockets had been noticed.
with regard 10 these reports some
light now has been thrown on the mat
ter by the commander of the subma-
rine E.. which was destroyed in
the IpardancileS. According to n let
ter. which came into our possession
regarding the North Sea fight which
is said to have taken place the British
batt!eship superb is said TO have been
sunk. and the cruiser Warrior is said
10 have been sinking without the Ger
man navy having suffered any loss
ON Friday. the 9th of April. num-
Der of cruisers are said to have ar
rived In badly damaged condition.
The Lion was very badly damaged
Official reports say nothing of all this
similar reports have come to hand
from reliable neutral sources to the eff
feet 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
has been left unexplained
An especially large number of
damaged ships ran into the Tyne
damaged cruiser WAS lowed into the
Tyne. a ship of the Lion class with n
starboard list. ana with her aft fun
mel missing. was towcd into the Firth
of Forth
The silence of the admiralty on
all this is easily to he understood AS
the German navy took no part in any
lighting on the night in question and
as fight with neutral vessels is out
OF the question, battle can only have
taken place between ships of the Brit
ish fleet, which did not recognize each
other in the darkness
THE secretary of the British adj
miralty states that there is not a
word Of truth in this fabrication 1t
is. however. interesting as a mark of
the anxiety Of Germany at the pres
cnt moment TO make an impression on
neutral states"

bombs dropped all around the hotel,
but none on it. After all, we had
chosen the worst place in the whole
hotel to hide from the bombs.
Had shell fallen above the STAIR
way, after piercing the roof it would
have dropped down to where we were
sitting and probably exploded on our
coffee table. I decided to retire. l
