Battle Was Not Fought to
Determine Mastery of Seas

From the adNices thus far received,
it would appear that the greatest ma
val battle of history has taken place.
Never before have two naval forces
of such magnitude as the British and
German high sea fleets engaged in
combat. But apparently the battle
was not fought out to a point to deter
mine mastery of the seas, for the
losses, serious as they are reported to
have been, will not impair the strength
Of either fleet to vital extent.
The scene of battle was in the east
ern waters of the North Sea. 1t is
probable that the German fleet was on
one of the excursions into the North
Sea which it has taken from time to
time during the war and met, whether
or not by design, with the British
fleet.
One Hundred Milca From Base
Skagerrak is an arm of the North
Sea between Norway and Denmark
The point referred to in the official
German statement as Horn Riff prob
ably Is the reef off the horn on the
southwestern extremity of Denmark.
From the reef to fIelgoland, the main
German naval base in the North Sea,
is about 100 miles.
News of the engagement was held
back by the British authorities, pos
sibly pending the return home of the
Meet, ana the tlrSt word received of the
battle came by wireless from Berlin,
by which means the Germans are able
TO escape the censorship over cable
lines.
British Lost Dreadnaught
According to Berlin, the sea fight
resulted disastrously for the British,
who lost one of their latest dread
naughts. two battle cruisers, two ar
mored cruisers and numerous smaller
craft. while a large number of British
battleships were damaged.
The Germans admit only the loss of
one battleship and a small cruiser,
while the fate of one cruiser and of
some torpedo boats Is unknown.
The British dreadnaught sunk was
the WarspiSe. of the Queen Elizabeth
class, a 27,000-ton vessel The battle
cruisers were the Queen Mary and
Indefatigable. The British battleship
Marlborough is reported to have been
hit by torpedo.
German wlrships rescued parts of
the crews of the sunken British sea
fighters. 1t is declared that only two
of the crew of the battle cruiser indie
fatigable were saved.
The German battleship lost was the
Pommern, a 13,000-ton vessel, and the
cruiser the fate of which is uncertain
is the Frauenlob, Of 2,672 tons. The
small cruiser sunk was the Wiesbaden.
The British destroyers Tipperary,
Turbulent, Fortune. Sparrowhawk and
Ardent were lost and six others have
not vet been accounted for. The Ad-
miralty announcement says no British
battleships or light cruisers were sunk.

V IOLENT FIGHTIN
Weight and Power of Tremen-
dous German Force Directed
Against French

With all the weight and power of
tremendous masses of men and metal
the Germans have been delivering
what may prove to be their decisive
stroke against the main defenses of
Nerdun.
The German attack of yesterday
northeast of the fortress which gained
them first line French trenches in the
crucial sector between Fort Douaumont
and Vaux has been followed by fight
ing of extreme violence. This after
Moons official bulletin from Paris re-
ports the continuance of the struggle
throughout the night but fails to re-
cord the outcome, the implication be-
ing that the result so far is indecisive.
French Beat Them Back
The Crown Princes drive is being
pressed along a front little more than
two miles in width between the
Thiaumont farm and Vaux. German
progress here has been slight since the
early days of the fighting. The recent
pushing back of the French lines on
the west bank of the Emuse, however,
is claimed to have stopped the French
flaniing fire from that bank which
hitherto had handicapped German at
tempts 10 advance on the opposite OF
the river.
West of the Meuse, the French have
been endeavoring to regain some of
the ground recently lost on the south
ward drive of the Germans there and
they claim to have made progress last
