GERMAN WAR PRIZES
WILL ARRIVE THIS WEEK
ASSOCIATED Press)

Washington, Aug. 4.-Four of the
five German warships allocated to the
United States for experimental pur-
poses were in the thick of the fight
ing at the battle of Jutland, accord
ing to naval intelligence records here.
The vessels are due at New York
from Brest, France, this week and
under clause of the peace treaty
they must be destroyed within one
year after their arrival.
The light cruiser Frankfort, now a
wreck in machinery and being towed
to the United States by the transport
Hancock, was the first ship in the
German battle line when it collided
with the British grand feet. while the
22,000-ton dreadnaught 0stfriesland
was the ninth ship in the line, immed-
lately in the rear of the flagship of
the German commander-in-chief, Ad-
miral Scheer.
Of the three destroyers, all of which
are being towed over as result of
their submersion with the German
fleet at Scapa Flow, the G-102 and
the V-43 were in the forefront of the
fighting throughout the Jutland en-
gagement.
Leading a division of four scout
cruisers that bore the brunt of the
British fire at the opening OF the en-
gagement, the Frankfurt, flagship of
Rear Admiral Brodicker, was hit four
times, but with a small calibre shell
in each instance and stayed in the
fight to the finish. The third cruiser
behind her was sunk at the opening
of the engagement. The Frankfurt,
which has a sped Of 28 knots. is be-
lieved to have participated in raids
on the British coast.
Although she was well up in line
and her 12-inch guns worked through
out contact with British feet, the
dreadnaught Ostfriesland. flagship of
Vice Admiral Schmidt, commanding
battle squadron No. 1, escaped with
out major blow, so far as naval re-
cords here disclose, but was damaged
later by hitting a mine during the
withdrawal to Wilhelmshaven.
OF the two destroyers, the G-1O2
was with the scouting forces, close TO
the Frankfurt, at the opening of the
battle. She took part in the destroyer
attack on the British battle cruiser
divisions at 4:30 a. M. and later IN
| the general engagement with British
| destroyers sent out to cover the bat
tie cruisers. The V-43 also was IN
the thick of the fight and was includ-
ed in the fotilIa that launched the de-
stroyer attack under cover of which
the German fleet began its withdraw
al. The third destroyer in the group,
the SIP, is believed to have been
completed at the close of the war.
The warships will be open to pub
! lie inspection shortly after their sr-
rival at New York and the navy de-
partment now is considering plans to
send them to other ports. As only
/ the Ostfriesland is able to proceed
under her own power, however. she
may be the only one of the group sent
on an exhibition tour. The three de-
stroyers are scheduled to go to Nor
folk in two weeks.
