NORTH SEA IN UPROAR AS THE
MIGHTY GUNS BELCHEU FORTH
WHAT EYEWITNESS SAYS
COPENHAGEN. June 3.—The Danish ship Naesborg
was probably the only neutral ship to be present at the
tremendous battle between the Gorman and British fleets
The captain of the Naesborg gives the following story of
what he saw:
“When the Naesborg was ninety-five miles west ot
Cape Hans Tholm, northwest of the coast of Jutland,
small British warships appeared pursued by the German
fleet. Suddenly the Britsih ships turned and steamed
westward violently shelled by the Germans. In a few
minutes a number of British dreadnaughts and cruisers
appeared from the North and West and the British began
attacking the German ships. Then appeared large tier
man reinforcements from the south and the battle became
general. The new German ships came up the west coast
of Jutland and evidently came from the western entrance
to Kiel. As the vessels lined up in battle array and the
great guns opened the scene became one of appalling
grandeur. The sky seemed to be filled with smoke to the
horizon and the sea might be described as having been
lashed into a state of uproar. After the terrific battle had
proceeded for a time the German fleet withdrew while
several more British warships appeared coming from the
westward. Then the German fleet divided into two parts,
one of which escaped. The fate of the other part I do not
know.”

NEW YORK, June 3.—(Sunday)—The accounts com
ing in from all quarters indicate that the battle just
fought between the North Sea and the Baltic last week
was the greatest naval struggle of all times since the be
ginning of history. Not yet, however, can the full and
true story of the tight be told but the later accounts, es
pecially those from London, indicate that the German
losses were greater than those of the British although
some doubt still apparently exists regarding the fate of
nianv of the vessels. As far as can be learned today the
German high sea fleet while picking its way from its base
on the Keil canal last Wednesday afternoon emerged into
the North Sea and while off the coast of Jutland engaged
the British fleet. The fight lasted throughout the after
noon and night in a terrific battle. So far as the tonnage
engaged and the tonnage destroyed is concerned the Ger
mans claim that the British deadnaught Warspite was
sunk and that at the close of the battle the British battle
ARE WE JUSTIFIED?

cruisers Queen Mary, Indefatigable and Invincible, and
the cruisers Defense, Black Prince and Warrior, as well as
eight torpedo boat destroyers had been sunk. On the
other hand it is claimed that the German battleship Pom
mern was sent to the bottom by a torpedo and that the
cruiser Weisbaden was sent to the bottom by gunfire. In
addition to this several German torpedo craft are missing
or sunk. The small German cruiser Frauenlos when last
seen was listed badly and is believed to have gone down.
These losses have all been admitted apparently as informa
tion coming from all sources contain the names of the
above vessels as having been victims. The chief German
claim is the loss of the Warspite, a sister ship of the Queen
Elizabeth, one of the largest and most powerful ships
afloat. The Germans also claim the destruction of the
battle cruiser Malborough by torpedoing. The latter was
a vessel of twenty-five thousand tons. The British have
added to the claims concerning the losses acknowledged
by Germany a German dreadnaught of the “Kaiser” class,
a vessel of twenty-four thousand seven hundred tons and
with a complement of one thousand and eighty-eight men.
This dreadnaught is said to have been destroyed by tor
pedo fire. Another German battleship of the same class is
believed to have been sunk by gunfire and one German
battle cruiser blown up besides. It is also claimed that
the Germans also had two other battle cruisers damaged
and at least one submarine sunk. The total loss in tonnage
of the British is placed at 111,810 while the loss by the
Germans in tons is given at 151,725. This is a general
summing up of the result of the battle by taking all the
accounts as nearly as can be judged today, Sunday. Other
details are coming in now but, naturally, the full report
cannot yet be secured.
BRITISH HAD THITRY-FOUR
BERLIN, June 3.—In a communication from Admiral
Hebhinghaus, the German admiralty announces today, he
declares that the British had at least thirty-four warships
engaged in the North Sea battle with the German squad
ron. The full official statement of the battle and its re
sults has not yet been issued and it is supposed that the
admiral is awaiting news from scattered units of the
fleet engaged in the fight.
LONDON, June 3.—The German super-dreadnaught
Hindenburg is now reported to have been sunk in the bat
tle of Wednesday. She was the last word in German naval
construction and was launched since the beginning of the
war. It was named, of course, after the famous marshal.
