"On the afternoon of Wednesday, the 31st of May, a naval engagement took place off the coast of Jutland. The British ships on •whieh the brunt of the fighting fell were the battle cruiser fleet arid some cruisers and light cruisers, supported by four fast battleships. Among these the losses were heavy. The German battle fleet, aided by low visibility, avoided a prolonged action with our main forces. As soon as these appeared on the scene the enemy returned to port, though not before receiving severe dam- age from our battleships. e "The battle cruisers Queen Maay, Indefatigable and Invincible, and the .cruisers Defence and Black Prince were sunk. The Warrior waa dis- abled, and after being towed for some time had to be abandoned by her crew. It is also known that the destroyers Tipperary, Turbulent, Fortune, Sparrow Hawk and Ardent were lost, and six others are not yet accounted for. No British battleship sor ,light cruisers were sunk. . Enemy Losses Are Serious. • "The enemy's losses were serious. At least one battle cruiser was des - strayed, and one was severely damaged. One battleship is reported to have been sunk by our destroyers. During the „night attack two light cruisers were disabled and probably s 4k.' The exact number of enemy destroyers .disposed of during the action cannot be ascertained with any cer- tainty. but, must have been large." ••:.• .... BRITISH VESSELS LOST. • ., .• .

A German light cruiser and at least six German de- stroyers were sunk. German Losses. • London, June 4. -While the British Admiralty does not cite names to support its assertion that the German losses were heavier than the British, it declares that "there seems to be the strongest ground for supposing" that 'the following units were lost by the Germans: • Two • battleships, two Dreadnought battle cruisers of the "most power- ful type," two light cruisers of the latest type (Wiesbaden and Elbing), one light cruiser of the Rostok )1912) type, the light cruiser Frauenlob, at least nine destroyers one subinarine. This would make a total of eight warships, nine destroyers and one submarine' , a grand total, of 18 vessels, as against onlysix warships and eight destroyers -a grand total of 14 vesselseildniittedly lost by the British. The British claim brings the German loss in tonnage -thus far assert- ed by Berlin to be only 49;000 -well up to or even beyond the British loss of .125,000. tons. By way of emphasizing that the main body of the British grand fleet made a clean sweep of the North Sea waters once it appeared on the • scene, the British Admiralty relates that Sir John Jellicoe, "having driven the enemy into port," returned to the main scene of the action and stayed there until noon -On June 1 -nearly 20 hours after the first shots had been exchanged on the previous afternoon -and searched the: sea for disabled vessels. Finding none, and having fulfilled his 'task, the British commander returned , to his base, 400 miles away -presumably the Orkney Islands. On the following evening, the Admiralty states, the British fleet was again ready to put to sea, • e • • British Victory, Says Beesford. London, June 4. -Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, retired, speaking to. day of the fight off Jutland between the BritisWand German fleets, said: "Though. a„ hard-earned sea 'fight it was a • British •victory. There was no mistake in strategy made. The BritielPobjective was to sihk the Ger- Man fleet or comp:el it to return to its base. In the . absence of Zepelins • for scenting purposes the British navy was obliged to send , out heavy • cruisers as euteicWscouts, because light cruisers would have been driven in, • without securing the needed inforination. . "Vice -Admiral Sir David Beatty, in pursuance of this object, tackled • a vastly superior force, hoping to delay- it until Vice-Admieal Sir John . R. Jellicoe's eleattfe, fleet arrived to destroy the, Germans. Vied -Admiral Beaty achieved a 'brilliant success, because on the arrival of Vice -Admiral " • Jellicoe the Germans fled. -We attained our olefecin the Germans failed to •: attainetheirSenWe lost cruisers which we can afford to lose; the Gentians 'lest battleships Which they cannot afford to loee," . • 333 Officers Killed:.
