AMSTERDAM, June "a semi-offi-
cial account of the recent naval battle,
in the North Sea, was sent from Berlin
early today, the statement differing i'm
many respects from the revised state
ments given out at London. The battle
started at 3:15 Wednesday afternoon,
according to the statement, and con-
tinued until dark, with the original
squa drons engaged. Then the night
engagement was begun, and before
the German feet began to retire, be-
sides the light squadron first engaged
at least twenty-five British battle
ships. six battle cruisers and four ar
mored cruisers had reached the scene
and participated in the Fl shting. Six
teen German battleships of the first
class, five modern battle cruisers and
six older ships of the line were enr
gagged from the beginning of the hat-
tie. The statement says no armored
cruisers were numbered among Ger
man ships taking part.
