Hopes for Big Enemy Losses.
The admiralty has a report of the
sinking of four German light cruisers
and the Germans have acknowledged
the loss of six destroyers There is very
good hope that the German loss is even
greater. but we do not intend to make
any estimates until we have complete
ofhcial reports from our commanders.

saw nothing of any seventeen-inch
guns No tricks were used which were
not already known in naval warfare.
