FIGHT
EXPECTED IN
NORTH SEA
German Fleet, Newly Equip
ped With l7-Inch Guns,
Said to Be Preparing for
Try WithBiish Battleships

London, Feb. S.--That a mighty
battle is imminent In the North sea
Ia believed here today.
Dutch rumors that the Germans
are preparing for their long-expected
dash constituted the basis for such
belief when coupled with seemingly
corroborativc reports from other
sources. The Hague reports were
that the Germans along the Belgian
coast had withdrawn and taken
refuge In the Kiei canal, where Ger
many's war dogs have been held in
leash for most OF the war.
Moreover. leaves OF absence for all
officers are reported to have been
cancelled.
At the same time Copenhagen re-
ports said there Is extreme activity
at Kiel and that the German ships
are about to venture forth and risk
an engagement. Four Zeppelins and
flock OF Taubes have reinforced the
air fiotilla at Kiel. and 1t is assumed
that these viii accompany the war
ships should they make their sally.
Vague rumors that the Germans
planned to attempt a startling coup
reached London before the English
liner Appam was bagged by a Ger
man commerce raider. Since then
almost every Berlin dispatch has con-
tanned similar rumors.
Germany. according to the stories
here. has laid we'll her plans for a
long-delayed venture on the seas. Her
dreadnaughts have been equipped
with .17-inch guns. while her Zeppe-
Inns have been fixed so they can shoot
torpedoes from the air, preparatory
TO challenging the British navy.
At the same time, England has not
been unmindful of the possibility of
q sea raid, and to this end has been
on careful guard. Any venture on
Germany's part. navy men say, will
find England's mighty fleet ready.
