 Early yesterday the British squad ron cruisers Tiger, Lion, Princess Royal, New Zealand and Indomitable under Vice-Admiral Beatty, and de- stroyer flotilla under Commodore Iyrwhltt sighted four German cruis- CTS and number of destroyers head ed for the English coast.
 They pursued the German vessels, and at 9:30 the battle was joined. After running fight, the German cruiser Bluecher sank about l o'clock.
