Admiral Scheer, One of
Ablest TGcticiGns of Navy
in Command of Germans

Amsterdam, via London, June g.
Advices from Berlin say that Vice
Admiral Scheer, commander. of the
German battle fleet, was in personal
command of the German forces in the
battle off Jutland, while the scout
division was under the direction of
Vice Admiral Hipper. The German
forces consisted of the German high
seas fleet with dreadnaughts, older
ships of the line, battle cruisers, all
the light sea forces at present in the
North Sea, torpedoboat destroyers and
submarine flotillas
Admiral Hipper came into contact
with the enemy about o'clock in the
afternoon, when he engaged a squad
ron of British cruisers and light cruis-
ers Subsequently the whole fleets on
both sides engaged and the fighting
lasted until in the evening. Later
on in the night the ships were engaged
again. The leading German vessels
alone sank six modern destroyers
All reports from the German sea
forces which participated in the battle
agree on the bravery shown by the
enemy in the long battle. The crews
Of the German torpedoboats which
were sunk have not been heard from,
but the majority of the men on the
other vessels which were lost were res
cued despite the unfavorable weather.
Naval airships gave valuable aid in re-
connoitering before and after the
battle.
Vice Admiral Scheer was appointed
commander of the German battle fleet
in February of this year, succeeding
Admiral Won Pohl, who retired on ac-
count of i'll health. Admiral Scheer is
considered one of the ablest tacticians
in the German navy He was for a
long time director of the general ma
rine department at the admiralty and
also served as chief of staff of the
high seas fleet and as commander of a
battle squadron. Admiral Hipper was
in command of the German squadron
which fought a battle with the British
squadron under Admiral Sir David
Beatty in January, 1915. 1t was in
this battle that the German cruiser
Bluecher was sunk

Most Serious Losses to
British to This Time HaUe
Been Caused by Submarines

Since the beginning of the war Brit
lsh cruisers and destroyers have pa
trolled during day and night the ap-
proaches to the German fleets base
in the bay formed by the mouths of
the Elbe and the Weser, protected by
the mighty fortifications of Wilhelms-
haven on the south, on the north by
the supposedly impregnable defenses
of the Kiel canal. and guarded by the
outlying island of Helgoland.
Until the engagement that has just
occurred, however, no German fleet
has put forth in force to necessitate
the giving of the alarm to the British
main fleet that its foe was coming out
to give battle. The rendezvous of the
British battle fleet has been a secret,
but is generally believed to have been
IN the Orkney Islands. north of Scot
land.
The long months of watchful wait
ing by the British. however, were
broken into by two naval engagements,
in which comparatiN ely small SQUAD
rons of German warships were in
VolVed and in both of which the Brit
ish were victorious. On August lS,
1914, Admiral Sir David Beatty on his
ilagship, the battle cruiser Lion, led
his squadron in daring dash into the
blight of Helgoland. in an engagement
almost under the guns of this great
fortress three German armored cruis-
ers and two destroyers were sunk with
loss of $500 men.
Previous Running Fights
On January "a, 1915, a German
squadron attempting a raid on the
British coast encountered Admiral
Beatty off the Dogger Banks and in a
running fight the German cruiser
Bluecher was sunk and two of her sis
ter ships set on fire. Several raids
have been made by German naval de-
tachments on the British coast, in
which Yarmouth, Scarborough, Whit
by Hartlepool and Lowestoft have
been bombarded. The last of these
raids occurred April &c last, on which
occasion, according to the German
claim, a British destroyer and two
scout ships were sunk.
The most serious losses to the Brit
ish fleet hitherto have been through
the operations of German submarines
and by means of mines.
Such an instance occurred Septem-
Der %, 1914, when the British cruis-
ers Hogue, Cressy and Aboukr were
torpedoed within ali hour by the Ger
man submarine U-9. The German
navy, however, performed brilliant
feats in regions far distant from
Europe, its most notable victory be-
ing in the battle off Coronel, Chile,
early in the war, when the German
far eastern squadron, attempting to
reach home waters. encountered a
British fleet under Admiral Cradock.
In the battle the Germans sent the
British cruisers Good Hope and Mon
mouth to the bottom with all hands
A month later a British squadron met
the victorious Germans off the Falk-
land Islands and of the FIVE German
cruisers in the squadron four, the
Scharnhorst, the Gpeisena, the Nur-
emburg and the Leipsic were sent to
the bottom. The fifth. the Dresden, es-
capped. but was caught later at Juan
Fernandez and destroyed.

Dreadnaughts Catch Fire

Dreadnaughts Catch Fire
"The fog and darkness was pierced
by the red glare from the big naval
guns.
Around the German ships huge
columns of water rose high into the
air like geysers as the shells from the
English men of war fell around them.
Two of the German dreadnaughts
caught fire and we could see
smoke rolling up through her super
structure in the lurid glow. The
flight and pursuit was on at top speed
when the vessels got beyond our
vision"
The destruction of three battle
cruisers by German gunf1re has re-
viVed reports that were current some
time ago that monster 17-inch guns
were being installed upon German
warships to outrange the guns on the
ships of every other navy.
Six Zeppelins
There were six zeppelins in the air
fleet which took part in the fight, ac-
cor9jng to dispatch to the Mail
from Copenhagen. One of them is
reported to have been badly damaged
by British gunfire.
The presence OF so formidable a
British fleet near Helgeland, the
German base, has aroused much
Both fleets were reinforced before
the battle ended by the Germans
taking flight.
Details of this feature of the en-
gagement are furnished by the follow
irg dispatch from Copenhagen:
'The captain of the Danish steam
ship Naesborg gives the following ac-
count of the sea fight:
""When the Naesborg was ninety
five miles west of Cape Hanstholm on
the northwest coast of Jutland a few
small British warships appeared pur-
sued by the German fleet. Suddenly
the British warships turned and
steamed westward, violently shelled.
In a few minutes a large number of
British dreadnaught cruisers appeared
from the north and west. The British
then began attacking the German
ships which were reinforced from the
south. A violent fight ragged. the
sky was filled with smoke and the sea
In state of uproar.
AT last the German feet was
drs swn westward pursued by the Brit
ish while several more British ap-
peared coming from the westward
The German fleet was divided in two
parts one of which escaped. 1 don't
know the fate of the other"
II is reported that Admiral Horace
Hood flew his flag on the destroyed
battle cruiser Invincible as second in
command of the battle cruiser squad
ron.
