NO British destroyer or any other
British warship was destroyed of the
Humber or anywhere else by a SUBJ
marine or any other agency since the
action of May 81.
THE Euryalus was not present in tho
North Sea during this battle. and there
fore was not sunk by German fire.

sonnet. II says nothing Of the bril-.
liance in battle tactics displayed by
Admirals Scheer and Hyper, tho
smoothness and precision with which
the German ships maneuvcrod and tho
! remarkable sureness of the German
Workmanship. although 1t Is an open
secret that these factors were largely
responsible for the Accomplishment of
the Germans.
IT was shown that the Germans. I'M
like the Dogger Bank engagement OF
the cruiser squadrons. were able to
choose their distance and fight consid.
cradle portions OF the battle at ranges
Of about eight miles. at which the
German eleven and twelve-inch guns
were virtually as effective in penetrat-
ing power as the big-mouthed thir-
teens. fourteens and ffteens. with
which the modern British giants are
armed. Furthermore, they are far
superior in rapidity of fire. Naval ex-
perts have intimated to the Associated
Press that this was one OF the most
decisive factors in the struggle.
German battleships and battle cruis-
ers were able TO shower the British
with "A hail of shell which, at a range
of eight miles and sometimes even
closer. smashed and riddled British
armor belts and wrought havoc to
ships vitals. The ponderous British
projectiles naturally were no less eff
fcctive, but the Armstrong and Whit
worth monsters could land scarcely one
punch to each two from the vicious
Krupp eleven-inchers.
The hazy weather was Germany's
friend. as it necessitated action at
closer range.
