The North Sea Battle.

From the first days of the great war
| an engagement between the British and
| German fleets in the North sea has been
| looked for as an inevitable feature of
| the conflict. During the early days such
an engagement was regarded as assured.
| for it was felt that it would be part
OF the German strategy to strike hard

sble. to secure control OF the channel The
months went by with only occasional en-
counters. the fight off Hcliogoland being
! the sole combat of moment. in which
the British force was victorious in that
, it caused the destruction of a number
of German ships. Now comes word of
. sea battle north of Heligoland. off the
vest Danish coast in which both sides
! have suffered severely. 1t seems to have
| been accidental as it was brought about
! by the chance encounter of II pair of
British destroyers. engaged III holding

and a cruising German feet of approx

! rescued by British fleet of larger size
/ than the Germans. if present reports are
correct. In the fighting which followed
large British ships were destroyed and
| some German vessels of the first rank
| were also sunk. according to the British
! accounts.
The net of the fight appears to have
been favorable to the Germans. in terms
of the number and tonnage of ships de
/ stroyed. The losses in human life have
! pparently been very heavy, particu-
iarly among the British. The battle is
rated in Berlin as a pronounced victory.
for there is great rejoicing there. while
the British are content with the assur-
ance that considerable damage was in
fllcted upon the German sea force.
Unless the present reports are cor

conditions in the North sea 1t has
been known for some time that the Ger
man fleets were cruising in waters ad-
jaeent to the bases, possibly in the hope
of meeting detacbments of the British
navy. If, AS indicated. smaller Ger
man force is able to hold its own
against larger British fleet further en-
counters may be expected. The Ger
| mans will in all proba bility seek another
meeting. and the British will naturally
welcome an opportunity to retrieve their
iaureis.
