GERMAN SHIPSRETURN
AFTER NORTH SEA FIGHT

LONDON. Dec. 1s.-Inquiry into the
sinking last week by German sub
marines OF eleven vessels in the North
Sea has brought out the fact that
every one OF the German boats re-
turned to safety after sinking the
British ships and their Conveys. The
sttacking force, in addition to sub
marines, consisted OF four cruisers.
An unpleasant feature of the at
tack, from the British viewpoint, is
that the British squadron failed to
protect the convoy. against surface
attacks. One report says they were
not even on the scene. .9s-.
