Exeter Times, 1916-6-29, Page 2GERMANFLEET TOO LAME
AND BLIND TO MOVE
Enemy Losses in Skagerrack Fight Are Found to Very Seriously
Reduce Fossil>`ility of Any More Naval Battles.
A despatch front London says:
Four weeks have passed • since the
battle of Skagerrack, and it is pos-
sible, in the light of an immense mass
of information .from British and nett-
tral sources, to form what will prove
a Verdict of the historians on one of
the most splendid incidents in our na-
val
aval annals. •
The German High Seas fieet, .weak-
er by five capital ships, is so dame
that it cannot inove and so blind that
it could not move if it dared to do
so. That is a matter on which there
can be no doubt.
Six Battle Cruisers Lost.
When the war opened, Germany
possessed the following ships of the
cruiser class, (built and building) less
than fifteen years old ,those lost in
the course of the war being given:
Battle cruisers -Original number
eight, since lost six, comprising the
Lutzow, Goeben, Seydlitz (a complete
wreck), Bluecher, Hindenburg and
another of a similar type, which, it is
believed, is the Von Der Tann.
Large cruisers -Original number
seven, since lost five, comprising the
Yorck,,,Scharnhorst, Gneisenau, Fried-
rich Karl, and the Prince Adalbort,
The two remaining vessels are the
Boon (launched in 1903, therefore
thirteen years old), and the • Prince
Heinrich (1900). The Fuerst Bis-
marck (1898) is of no military value
and can be ignored, owing to her slow
speed and weak guns. She is believed
' now to be serving as a training ship.
Light cruisers -Original number
thirty, since lost twenty, comprising
. the Karishuhe, Madgeburg, Koln,
Mainz, Edmen, Dresden, Nurnburg,
Koenigsberg, Leipsig, Bremen, .Un-
dine, Bostock, Wiesbaden, Breslau,
Frauenlob, Elblag, Ariadne, and three
others, the names of which have not
yet been revealed.
Fourteen Effective Cruisers Left.
Out of the forty-five effective cruis-
ers of all classes which Germany had
built and was building when the war
opened she therefore possesses to -clay
only fourteen, and of these a large
proportion was so seriously injured in
the battle of Skagerrack as to be at
present ineffective. Those fourteen
cruisers have to suffice for duty as
scouts for battle squadrons, parent
ships for torpedo flotillas, and for
patrol work in the Baltic.

French Air Squadrons Drop
Bombs on Mulheim, Treves
and Carlsruhe.
A despatch from Paris says: On
Thursday a very marked aerial activ-
ity by the French squadrons followed
a raid on Wednesday night on the
town of Treves, when 18 shells were
dropped, resulting in a fire of large
dimensions. Thursday's operations
were extensive, and were attended by
much success. One flotilla of nine
aeroplanes dropped shells on Carls-
ruhe, about 120 miles from Nancy,
while another flotilla of ten planes
reached Mulheim, on the right bank
lishments 50 shells were dropped. A
squadron of Fokkers pursued this
last expedition on their return, and
the French machines gave battle. One
of the Rhine, in whose military estab-
Fokker
was brought down and a"
French machine was forced by motor
trouble to make a landing.

Fund for Graves of
Children.
A despatch from London says: The
patients at Ramsgate Canadian Hos-
pital; which was struck by a bomb in
the air raid of March 19, subscribed
for a monument to be erected to the
memory of the Sunday School children
who lost their lives in the raid. The
necessary sum having been secured,
the Canadians have placed the monu-
ment in position by the children's
graves in Ramsgate Cemetery. It
takes the shape of a maple leaf.
BRITISH SUCCESSES

A despatch from London says:
Allied forces which are invading Ger-
man Erst Africa are continuing the '
advance successfully. It was an-
nounced officially on Wednesday that
the column moving from British East
Africa into the north-eastern section I
of the German colony has occupied !
