There has been a etarp aaaval engagement between the - Britiele andaelerman eleets in the North Sea. On Sunda.y the Germans attempted another Told on the English sea Coast -towns. At beet a large fleet was an -e its way in that direction. This fleet - was oeerhaetled by a British fleet un- der command 'of Sir David Beattie. As 50011 as the. Germans saw the Brills approaching they turned and fled. They were ;pursued, and overtaken- by the British arid a tierce engagement ten - sued. The vessels were runeing at the rate of about thirty .miles an hour, the British pouring their shells into the German vessele.and. the Germans firing back as test they could. !rhb final result was that the German cruiser, Blutcher, was 'sunk and two other Gerthan vessels 'set on the and badly pounded up. The German vessels. in- jured were among the newest, best and fleetest in their Navey. The Germans were puraued by the British until they entered their own mine strewed wat- ers .when the Britishhad to tease pur- suit as a matter of safety. to them- selves, as tad they followed further they might have been destroyed :by „hidden mines. The German Squadron consisted of four large ships and 22 torpedo boats_ The crew of the sunken German vessel consisted of between 860 and 9t0. officers and mea. Of: these about three hundred have been picked up. bet the British- vesselstordF:- have been landed in Scotland and Eng- land, and will be held as prisoners until the . war is over. Of those saved was the commander of the Blutcher. Two .of the British vessels were dis- abled but all were returned safely to their base and the damages are not serious. The casualties on the British vessels amounted to fourteen killed and 25 wounded. t is hoped that this ee- :suit will have a tendency to heck these wicked and heartless raids on unprotected coast towns, which can have no other result or object than to tail a few unoffending and unprotect- ed.people and the destruction- of pro- perty. All of which l is ehtirely con- trary to the well- recognised laws of war which the German authorities seem to 'delight in violating. - On the land the struggle still con- tinues without much change In the general .situation. in the East the Ruse alans and in the West the Allied for- ces are still battling with the elements and -the Germans. The former seems to he about as difficult to contend with as the latter. Men are ,beings killed and maimed and wounded and property is being destreyed and all far what 'pur- pose? The aggrandizement of and tc gratify the selfish lust and greedof g Jew Prussian potentates who never go mar the danger zone and who still fares sumptuously every day, while their simple -clupea are fighting and dying and freezing in the mud filled trenches -in Frence and Belgium. - The latest engagement of importance took place on Monday between the British and Gerenans. The latter made several (furious attacks on the former but were repulsed in 4irery instance, with severe loss on bath sides. The 'Allies are still holding their own in the French and Belgium line but are not imaking much progress. They gain one day and lose the ;next, but on the whole they are moving forward al- though It ',be only .by -inches and feet. There es pothing new to report from Russian Poland. Conditions there are very much the. same as in the West, only 'the sphere is larger and the lines 'anger. None of the neutral powers have yet decided in favor of eether side, although zeveral of them are hangleg .on the brink. If Italy and Bulgaria were -to cast in their lot with the Allies they could. soon .end the Woody strife. The statement- is made' that In three weeks' fighting in Poland over 400,000 were killed and wounded and -that of these over three hundred and seventy thoesance were Gerinans in addition to many thousands taken prisoners. at is not improbable that the causalties tn France and Belgium would also equal this number.
