Casualties and Many
Ships Wrecked.

LondOn.-There Is no reason TO
doubt the substantial accuracy of the
German official account Of the losses
suffered by the German fleet in the
Jutland naval battle May 81, 1916, 1t
is learned officially by Reuters. The
German figures published June 49,
1916, showed that the casualties to the
fleets personnel we're: officers, killed
or missing, 172; wounded, Al; other
ratings, killed or missing, 2,4l4;
wounded, 440. Total. 3,076.
Official details Of damage done to
individual vessels follow:
Battleship Koenig, struck about fif-
teen times and badly damaged. Ship
went down by the head until her fore
castle was only 61a feet above water.
The crew of the forward torpedo tube

guns.
"And so the German fire fell on
these front line trenches for five hours
and twenty-five minutes-and those
shells fell on empty trenches, except
for those patrols who stayed there ex-
pecting to be killed, but who, strangely
enough, practically all came back to
us in the morning.
Cut to Pieces.
"When the hour for the German in
fantry attack came they set off the
gas bombs and the signal rockets. Our
artillery saw the signal rockets and
cut loose on the massed German in
fantry.
"The German masses were literally
smashed by the terrific French artil-
lery fire, and the gas shells our boys
had left smothered them with the dead
ly mustard gas.
"They never got through to our
second lines. Our boys sat on the para
pets Of the trenches and watched the

"But on the other end they did get
through. They crashed into the Rain

ers word Of the exact hour at which
the last great German offensive Of the

by Col. William Hayward Of the Three

and knew it was to be the maximum
German effort" Colonel Hayward said.
"AbOut one hour before l O'Clock on
the night of July IA we captured Ger
man prisoners in raid. They told us
when the attack would come.
Beat Them to It.
"The artillery preparation was TO
start at midnight and last for five
hours and twenty-five minutes. So
General Gouraud started our artillery
fire five minutes ahead Of theirs.
"That put them up in the air. Fritz
had to send to Hans to ask what the
change in his plans meant.
"When the French knew when this
battle was coming, their lines did not
