Wiesbaden. Elbing.
Frauenlob. Six destroyers.

LONDON, June s.
The German battle cruiser feet has been
reduced to three or four units, If not less,
as result of the naval engagement in the
North Sea on Wednesday, II is declared
here.
AS late official reports are received 1t
becomes more and more evident experts
say, that the British fleet won a decisive
victory over the German high seas fleet
At least 1S German men-of-war are now
believed to have been destroyed, aggregat-
ing 11S,435 tons, Fourteen battleships are
admitted lost.
The British Grand Fleet is in complete
control of the North Sea and virtually as
powerful ever. 1t is declared here The
German fleet is both badly battered and
heavily weakened n result of the losses
sustained on Wednesday and Wednesday
night. Britons assert 1t will be many
weeks before repairs can be made to nut
the German feet in fighting trim.
Brilliant strategy was shown by Admiral
Sir John Jellicoe and by Admiral Sir David
Beatty. High tribute is paid to the lower
officers and men alike. 1t was significant that
the German Naval Office in commenting
upon the great battle paid particular COM
plimepts to the courage of the British
sailors. who fought calamity to the very end
while their ships were sinking beneath them.
AS the figures stand at present, it is
estimated that 32 ships were lost If the
Germans lost is ships. as now claimed. the
loss OF life may have been as high as
$500 men
An official statement. issued by the Brit
ish Admiralty last night, declares that there
is mo doubt" that the German losses in tho
great sea fight Of May 81. off the Danish
coast, were greater than those OF the
British.
The statement also reveals. for the first
time. that the British grand fleet in the lat
ter phase OF the battle actually came into
action against the German high seas fleet
the first time in the war that either main
battle fleet had fired shot. Crhe German
ofneial statements have from the first con.
tended that the British main fleet was en-
Gagged. but this was at first denied by the
British.)
This statement has had a profound effect
on the British public; and British pride in
the navy. after surviving the heavy blow
inflicted by the early and unfayorable re-
ports of the fight, has already remounted
10 even greater heights than before
The casualty lists OF the Admiralty now
Issued also show that the British casualties.

two mora such tactical victories and the
British navy would be reduced to row
boats"
The Germans realize just the position
Great Britain is in. For years and years
they have been boasting Of their peerless
navy. Along came real land fighting and
England did not take her full part, but
always referred to its peerless navy-the
unbeatable pride of the seas-which when
the moment came would smash Germany
forever. It was the navy which was go
ing TO dig the rats out of their holes"
Then came the fight, and when the smoke
of battle cleared away the pride of the
British navy was at the bottom Of the
North Sea and the German fleet was riding
safely at anchor in its home port, according
to the German view.
The Germans point out that the British
Admiralty was almost forced to make false
claims of German losses to prevent the
shock of the worst naval drubbing of the
war from proving too heavy depressant
on the English people.
When the claim of the British that heavy
German battleshlps were destroyed is mem
toned, German officials smile blandly and
ask why doesn't the British Admiralty
name them? 1t should be easy enough
