The Evening News states that Vice
Admiral Sir David Beatty, who was in
command of the battle cruiser squad
ron. was not harmed.
Scenes Are Distressing.
Scenes at the admiralty this morn
ing were extremely distressing, the
building being besieged by relatives
and friends of the crews that were in
the engagement. A splendid system
has been devised to give them infor-
nation as soon as it is received, but
naturally in the case of fight such as
that which occurred on Wednesday the
admiralty is still without details Sim
liar scenes were witnessed at various
naval ports from which the crews were
drawn.
AS for the fight and it's result, there
was an inclination this morning, after
the receipt of the later official account,
not to consider the outcome OF the en-
gagement so disastrous as was at first
thought. although no attempt was made
to minimize it, Besides the loss of
ships and life causing sorrow, the feel
ings of the public were aroused by the
fact that the Germans had succeeded,
as they naturally aimed at doing, in
engaging a section of the British fleet
and handling 1t severely before the
main British fleet came on the scene.

BERLIN, June 8. by wireless to Say
ville.-"Supplement the official re-
port of the admiralty" says the Over
seas News Agency, 'it is stated by
competent authority that in the North
sea battle the Germans had in action
the high sea fleet. with dreadnaughts
and older battleships. battle cruisers
and also light sea forces, including
torpedo boat and submarine fiotillas.
The Germans faced the greater part of
the modern British navy.
THE German accommodating forces
were commanded by Rear Admiral
Hyper. These forces first entered into
combat with the enemy's battle cruis-
ers and light cruisers at about pm.
Later the main forces on both sides
took part. During the day battle Ger
man torpedo boats several times en-
tered into action successfully, one of
them three times. The fight kept on
until 9 o'clock in the evening.
Make Violent Attacks.
During the night both sides made
violent attacks with torpedo boats and
cruisers, in which there were further
BRITISH losses. Inc ledQlnS GERMAN
ship annihilated six modern British de-
stroyers.
"All German reports emphasize the
bravery shown by the British during
the fight. which lasted almost without
interruption for twelve hours.
H. NJ. S. Frauenlob must be definitely
considered lost Apparently she sank
during the night in one of the smaller
engagements. Five German torpedo
boats have not returned. but a large
part of the men have been rescued.
Although the weather was unfa-
vorable for aerial accommodating dur
ing all the time of the engagement,
naval airships and aeroplanes con-
tributed considerably to the success of
the German sea forces by accommodating
and by the speed with which they
acted"
Germans Maintain Field
The first naval battle on a grand scale
during the present war has been at
tended by results which. according to
the information received here. are
highly satisfactory to the Germans,
not only in respect Of the comparative
losses of the two fleets, but in the fact
that the Germans maintained the field
after the battle. This is shown, Ger
man commentators assert, by the res
cue of their survivors.

SUPREME ATTEMPT
TO FORCE A DECISION
Great Concentration Of Teuton
Forces on the Right Bank
of the River Mouse.

PARIS, June 3-The battle Of Verdun
reached a point of unprecedented vio-
lence in the last forty-eight hours. The
Germans made formidable effort to
mass reinforcements on the right bank
of the Mouse, supported by great
number of heavy pieces drawn from
other fronts.
The concentration of the German
forces is taken here to indicate a su-
preme attempt to bring the long
drawn-out attack on the fortress to
successful issue and to prevent gen.
eral offensive by the allies. Despite
the intensity of the attack, involving
enormous losses, the French official ac-
counts say that the main lines are not
essentially changed. The furthest point
reached by the Germans was houses on
the outskirts Of Damloup. The main
portion of the town is strongly held
by the French.
In the course of violent attacks last
night on Fort Vaux. on the Verdun

main French position. The interior Of

says, the Germans were repulsed with
heavy losses. Spirited fighting con-
tinued in the Argonne. west of the
