NORTH SEA SCENE
OF FUTILE DASH
Ships Left Kiel Sunday;
Discovered Off the
Danish Coast

London, Nov. Two German dread
noughts Of the Kaiser class, with ton
mage of 2i,700, were hit by the British
submarine which encountered them m
the North Sea on Sunday. Official an
nouncement OF this was made to-day.
with reference to yesterdays com
munique," says the statement, "a
further report has now been received
from the commanding officer Of tho
submarine. He now claims to have hit
two dreadnought battleships Of the
Kaiser class"
This later report indicates that 4
fleet Of German ba.tleships sailed from
Kiel on Sunday. They were not dis
covered until we'll of tho Danish coast.
Apparently the approach and success,
full fire of the British submarine caused
them to abandon their plans and re-
turn to their base.
According to British claims, three
dreadnoughts Of the Kaiser class have
been damaged since the war began. Inc
named ship of the group took part IN
the battle off Jutland. According TO
London the Kaiser was sunk, but Der
lin denied this, saying that the vesse,
was only slightly hit by gunfre. Naval
registers show only five battleships OF
the Kaiser class, all completed before
the war, but it is believed that since
the war Germany has added one or two
to the group.
British Losses at Sea
The Overseas News Agency estimates
the total British losses in battleships
and cruisers since the war began AZ
sol 100 tons. This does not INCLUDE
auxiliary cruisers, submarines, torpedo
boats or guardships. According to the
known strength Of the British navy at
the beginning of the war" says the
statement, at has lost IA per cent OF
its battleships, 80 per cent OF its ar
mored cruisers and IA per cent of its
protected cruisers. Thirty-nine ships,
Of a total Of 443, 800 tons, have been de-
stroved by German naval forces.
"The extent of the British losses is
notable in view of the fact that at the
beginning of the war the French navy's
tonnage was $4,000 and the Italian
ravy's $4,000.
Moreover, the British navy has lost
80 torpedo boats Of 1880 tons and 70
submarines. >,
"The figures given take into consid-
Grafton only those losses regarding
which no doubt exists"
Britain Sends Note
Great Britain has addressed note to
the American and Spanish ambassadors
regarding the recent sinking of Greek
steamer carrying supplies for the Com,
mission for Relief in Belgium, Lord
Robert Cecil. Minister of War Trade,
told the House of Commons to-day.

LANAOTORPEDOED
UNDER U. 5. FLAG
Ship Sunk by U-Boat En-
titled to Fly American
Colors, Papers Prove

London, Nov. THE steamship La
mao was flying the American nag when
she was sunk by . German submarine
on October 2s of Cape Vincent This
was established to-day through advices
from several sources.
Captain Mainland, master OF tho La
mao; Lorin A. Lathrop, American Con-
sul at Cardiff, and American consulate
officials here all denied reports from
the United States that the vessel had
been transferred TO Norwegian owner
ship. That action was TO have been
taken when she arrived In England ~
was said. Captain Mainland saved the
ships papers showing that the Lanao
VA. registered at Manila, and thus was
entitled to fly the American colors.
The captain telegraphed from Car
diff to-day as follows:
1.-THE Lanao sailed from Hong Kong
under the American flag, which new
day and night and was flying when
sunk. / heard rumors of sale. but
nothing certain. The submarine cap
tain gave a receipt for the ships pa
pers as from an American ship. The
LEGAL status Of the vessel was Philip
pine registry under American protec-
ton, which gave the right to fly the
American flag"
Captain Mainland said he did not pro-
test to the submarine commander
against the sinking of the Lanso on
account of her registry. Neither did
he lodge protest with Consul Lathrop
The consul sent a brief cable message
to the State Department in Washington
giving the facts regarding the sinking
of the Lanao, and is forwarding by mail
the statements of her captain and CHIEF
officer.
Washington, Nov. 7.-Precedents es'
tablished in the case Of the American
ship Frye, wheat laden and bound from
England, sunk in mid-Atlantic by q
German auxiliary cruiser, Prinz Eitel
FREDERICK, IN 1910, IRE cApeCtcu 10 Ieuu
the German government voluntarily to
offer to pay for the steamer Lanao
sunk by German submarine off the
coast Of Portugal on October %, IL il
is established that the vessel was sail
ing legally under the American flag and
registry.
The State Department is making every
effort to develop the facts, and it APP
pears certain that due warning was
given and proper care taken to safe
guard the lives of all on board. The
question to be cleared up is whether
the Lanao was an American ship. II
is known that negotiations for her sale
by the American owners to a Norwegian
ship owner had been initiated before
the vessel started on the voyage, but
it is not clear whether these had been
concluded and the registry actually
changed at the time of the attack, or
whether the change of ownership and
registry were conditional upon the de-
livery of the ship at Norwegian port
