GERMAN BATT[ESH|P
WESTFALEN DAMAGED
Berlin Claims Big British Warshir
Was Hit, But London
Denies This.

LONDON. August 24.-Admission by
the Germans that the battleship West
fallen, of the Nassau class, was dam
aged by a British torpedo in recent
fighting in the North sea has gratifled
the British public. as it proves the Brit
ish were not left at such disadvan-
tage as appeared from first reports.
First accounts debited Great Britain
with loss of the light cruisers Falmouth
and Nottingham, as against destruction
of one German submarine and damage
to another. The fact that Germany
withheld news of some of her losses in
first accounts of the Jutland battle is
used by the newspapers to discount
Berlin statements

is great rejoicing here over the exploit
of Commander Turner of the E-c3. His
successful attack in a fight in the open
sea is taken as disproving the conten-
tion of those who questioned the utility
of the submarine in such warfare.
The claim that a British battleship
was damaged by a German submarine
is repeated in the latest official state
ment issued by the German admiralty
in Berlin.
This German claim has been met with
an emphatic denial from the British ad-
miralty. as follows:
There is not a particle of truth in
this fantastic story. No ship was
struck, except the Nottingham and the
Falmouth. whose loss has already been
officially announced"
