the enemy from the coast, but he adds
warningly German minds should give
no room to views of an offensive activ-
ity of the feet which is based on an
insecure foundation and an improved
hypothesis.
All this fatty contradicts the Ad-
miralty view frequently expressed il,
official and semi-official reports and in
the Emperor's Skagerrak message that
the Germans had decisively defeated
and wrested from il mastery at sea.
All naval critics, except Captain Per-
sius, regularly promulgated this the
sis, and an outburst Of rage by Count
Won Reventlow and Captain Won Kuehl-
wetter and others against him is ex-
pected.
Captain Persius says that every in
telligent German realizes that unre-
stricted summarizing must be conducted
with all energy until England realizes
it is more profitable to discuss peace
than to accept further losses, but, on
the other hand, he warns against super
optimism for a too speedy success in

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE AND BELGIUM, Aug. 4.-The
great squadron Of tanks which went
into action with the British infantry at
dawn Tuesday proved their right to 4
place among the modern engines Of
war. The battle Of Flanders furnished
the most comprehensive test of the
worth of these monsters as fighting
machines which has vet been given.
and they came through the ordeal with
flying colors despite the fact that they
were operating under the most trying
conditions Of terrain.
The opening of the conflict saw a
considerable concentration of tanks.
Fewer proportionately were knocked
out by q direct hit than in any previous
engagement. The total of the casual
ties among the crews was remarkably
low, and most of these were among men
who deliberately left off the cover of
their iron fort and worked in the open
under machine gun fire.
The material damage the tanks did
TO the enemy defences was enormous,
and prisoners state that very heavy
casualties were inflicted on the Ger
mans. That the enemy is extremely
afraid of them is without question, and
in numerous instances the Germans
surrendered freely on the mere appear
ance of one of these engines, which
truly are of terror-inspiring appear
ance. At one place eight German Of
ficers surrendered without question
when a tank crawled up and threatened
TO open fire, and sixty soldiers were
captured by a single machine near
Saint Julien.
There were accidents which, though
regrettable, were not without touches
of humor. One tank. which was trun-
ding in the dark toward the front
some time before the battle, encoun-
tered railway wagons standing at a
crossing. The operator of the tank

did not see the obstacle, and the en-
gineer of the train could not hear the
approach of the tank because OF the
noise made by his machinery. The
tank went through the train as though
it were made of pasteboard and con-
tinued its numbering but ruthless way,
leaving one of the railway wagons
much the worse for wear.
The machines did much fighting in
the difficult country about st. Julien
End Frezenberg and in the territory
lying directly east of Zillebeke. At the
defences near Frezenberg a spectacular
battle occurred. These consisted Of
two strong redoubts, one of which was
known as the castle" In front Of
them flows the Handbook. and the sur
rounding ground was marshlike and diff
ficult for heavy bodies to move across.
The attacking tanks advanced over the
stream and sodden ground under a
heavy fire from the machine guns in
the redoubts and the anti-tank guns
hidden behind the fortihcatlons.
One tank worked it way around the
castle and, opening fire, drove all the
defenders into the other redoubt. 1t
then forced its way to the rear of the
occupied redoubt and compelled all the
enemy to fee back to the castle, which,
in frenzy of fear, the Germans took
refuge in. At this point other tanks

and the Germans, to man, ran out
with hands raised, crying "Kamerade,"
and gave themselves up. This was a
capture, totalling sixty prisoners.
Having silenced this fort, the tank
crossed the Steenbeek River and pro-
ceeded through the shell-torn main
street of Saint Julien to the northern
side. 1t assisted the infantry to clear

Berlin Expert Admits
British Control Seas
Captain Persius Says German
Navy Is Only Able to
Halt Invasion

COPENHAGEN. Aug. 4.-Captain
Persius, naval expert Of the "Berliner
Tageblatt," thrusts unpleasant facts
in the faces Of naval enthusiasts, in
a review Of the third naval year Of the
war. He says the superiority of the
British feet. despite heavy losses, is
great enough to justify its claim that
Il controls the seas. The German fleet
is unequal to meet il, he says.
The high seas feet, in conjunction
with the coast defence guns, sub
marines, mines, etc, will undoubtedly

then retired without having suffered
damage, leaving the British in posses
sion.
The British next day withdrew from
Saint Julien, but continued 10 she'll the
place so heavily that the Germans could
reoccupy il only in part. Later the
British re-entered the village under
cover of heavy barrage and took up
the positions which they held to-day,
Valuable work was also done by the

guns, until all concealed machine guns
had been searched out and the Germans
forced 70 retire. The machines then re-
turned behind the British infantry. -,
Two tanks were ditched temporarily
near Frezenberg. but helped to repel,
counter attack by the Germans. Inc
eEemy, believing the tanks helpless be-
cause they were stuck in the deep mua,
advanced in the hope Of regaining the
ground lost and capturing the monster
machines. The tanks opened fire on
the advancing line of infantry and
moved the Germans down IN large
numbers. Scotch troops finished the
repulse with bayonets.
For the most part the tanks proved
that they were capable of moving over
the most difficult ground, but in few
cases they were stalled ct times in
holes. More than once when this hap
pened officers and crew rushed out un-
der heavy fire in order to set up their
machine gun in more advantageous po-
sition, although they would have been
comparatively safe in the tank. Some
of these intrepid crews fought thus
until the last man was either killed or
wounded. and it was due to such acts
as these that many Of the tank casual
ties resulted.

Lowering the Sick

After the explosions, which were not
excessively loud, engines were immedi-
stely reversed. There was no panic,
although the lowering of couple of
sick passengers into the lifeboats
caused some difficult and anxious mo-
ments.

which the retrsnsfnr OF the crew was
L.ade, and then set course for land
The passengers in the meantime were
provided with meals and blankets, and
huddled together, thus spent the night
which fortunately became calmer. All
the baggage remained aboard the Moor
dam.
Astonishment was expressed that
Dutch warships did not come TO the
rescue. but it is explained that this was
due 70 their strict orders to avoid the
min" zone.

Describing the occurrence, DR.. Henry
Van Loon, one of the passengers, sald'
"On August 3, during very severe
s,orm the Noordam was hit on the
starboard side by a mine, prooaoly
two mines, as there were two eN-
plosions, completely demolishing the
iifeboats in the second-class and caus-
ing a dangerous list, but no casual
ties. Although a heavy sea was run

discipline, all the passengers we've

"The tugboat Thames picked up all
the survivors in the course of about
three hours. Again the heavy seas
and dangerous squalls threatened the
complete destruction of the small and
overloaded craft, and floating mines
added to the horror of the eighteen
hours trip to land, which was borne
in exemplary and cheerful spirit.
Meanwhile. the Noordam, although
apparently hopelessly crippled, con-
tinued her voyage. All the stokers and
other members of the crew returned to
their ship, where the captain and Off
GERS had been using all their efforts to
save food supplies for those aboard the
tug"
There were only two Americans
among the passengers, who were, for
the most part, Dutch colonials and Off
eials homeward bound. Charles Drost,
a business man, of Boston, was one of
the Americans. From his account and
that Of others il would appear that the
Noordsm, after enjoying fair weather
down the Norwegian coast, ran into
rain squalls, in which the steamer
doubtless ran across the edge of the
safety channel into the mine zone.
