Speaks Of North Sea Battle.
The Earl of Selbourne, president OF
the board of agriculture, speaking in
London last night on the recent battle
in the North Sea, between the British
and Germans, said:
"HOW Drecipitate was the flight OF
the. German meet is shown by the fact
that only three men were wounded in
the whole of Admiral JellicOe's fleet.
Not one of his ships was able to get
in the gun fire more than six minutes.
The only one of his ships to suffer
was the battleship Marlborough,
which was torpedoed by submarine,
but reached Havre safely
"No sensible maneuver expected
anything from the Germans, but great
efficiency. In the first two phases of
the action, the German sailors fought
we'll. and their strategy was right In
retiring at the beginning of the third
phase of the battle, when Admiral
Jellicoe's fleet arrived, for if they
wanted to preserve their fleet, it was
necessary to avoid deliberately cha[
longing for the mastery OF the sea
this time. But after that to proclaim
q great victory and school holiday
and publish speech like that of the
kaiser, was making the German navy
ridiculous"
Steamer Dunrobbin Escaped.
The British steamer Dunrobbin sue

sound on the way to England. She
had been lying in the British port of
Inlea. a thousand miles north of the

liza m,suddenly occurred and conveyed
her safely through the narrow waters.
Newspapers here commenting on

parent German destroyers are not pa
trolling the Baltic.
