INSISTS BRITISH
LOST Three SHIPS
Berlin Says Cruiser and Two
DestrOyers We're Sunk

Contrary to the British reports that
in the naval fight in the North sea on
Sunday no British ships were lost and
that pursuit of the German ships was
finally abandoned on account of Ger
man mines and submarines, the fol
lowing official statement was given
out in Berlin by the German govern
ment:
'In the three hours fight which
cost us the armored cruiser Bluecher,
one British battle cruiser and two
British destroyers were sunk.
"These facts not only were obsery-
ed by our big ships, but also were as
certained by a German torpedo boat
which returned unhurt. This torpedo
boat shot two torpedoes against a
British battle cruiser which already
was keeling over, %whereupon she cap
sized and sank.
"This also was ascertained by a
German dirigible which was flying
over the fighting zone. The ~dirigible
observed on other British ships falling
masts and tunnels. 1t is certain there
fore that further cruisers were seri-
ously damaged.
FINALLY the British fleet withdrew
from the German squadron and be-
yond the reach of their guns. There
was no question of pursuit of the
German ships because the high speed
of the British vessels would have en-
abled them to catch ny with and de-
stroy the German cruisers.
This time it is possible to verify
the British reports, which it was i'm
possible to do in the case of the bat
tie off the Falkland Islands, of which
details are lacking. We only know
that several British ships are now
docking at Gibraltar to repair dam.
ages inflicted by the German cruisers
Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, and that,
therefore, the British official report
on the battle off the Falkland Islands
at least is incomplete and colored In
British interests.
1.-THE unreliability of the reports of
the British admiralty Is also proved
by the fact that the Admiralty even
o does not admit the loss of the
battleship Audacious."

Fight Occurs al Elkantra, %

100000 IN INVADERS ARMY
English Commanders Expect B5ig Move.
ment and Are Assembling Troops
and Warships to Meet Enemy.

Dispatches reaching London from
various point SYNDICATE hat the re.
oprted invasion of Egypt by the Turks
is It last under way.
From one source it is reported that
a Turkish army OF 100000 men, un'
der command of DjenlaJ Pasha, Is
marching on the Suez canal.
From another source it is announc'
ed that an engagement was fought
ON Tuesday near Elkantara, about
twenty-eight miles from Port Said.
1t is evident that the British com
manders at the canal and in Egypt
expect a considerable movement OF
Turkish troops against them and are
preparing to repel the invasion. War
ships and troops are being assembled
at the canal and all civilians are leav.
ing that region.
British airmen have been engaged
in making important "Reminiscences,
as a result of which a Turkish army
was discovered in the vicinity of Ell.
British aviator flung bombs upon the
Turkish forces near Birmurhadad, in.
tlicting losses.
The battle at Elkantara was mostly
an artillery action, in which the
Turks opened fire at long range with
mountain guns and the British an.
swered with machine guns and rifles,
The forces engaged are said to have
been small and the casualties of the
Egyptian army were only four men
and one officer slightly wounded. The
Turks are supposed to have been the
advance guard of the main army OF
three army corps.
Detachments of Turkish troops have
been sighted at three other points
east of the canal, but no fighting has
resulted. 1t is said that the British
have mounted heavy guns along the
canal and are amply prepared for any
Turkish force that may reach there.
A large number of warships are at
Port Said, and these may be distrib
uted at points along the canal II ne
cessary.
Fighting near Elkantara indicator
that the Turkish forces have enetrat
ed a considerable distance into Egypt.
Elkantara is twenty-eight miles south
of Port Said, and is on the Sue7
canal, which, it is assumed, is the i'm.
mediate objective of the Turkish ad
vance. The territory to the east OF
Elkantara is the northern art of the
Sinai peninsula, which extends to the
Turkish frontier.
