LONDON, June 3.—Between 125 and 150 warships
~of various classes, as well as Zeppelins, are believed to have
taken part in the mighty sea battle between the British and
German fleets in the North Sea on Wednesday in which 25
ships at least were sunk.
The British Empire today awaited further details of the
- gigantic engagement, the greatest in modern history,‘with
feverish anxiety, hoping that late reports of the Admiralty
i would increase the number of German victims destroyed by
English men-of-war.
| Although no official information was forthcoming as
to the probable loss of life, belief was expressed that it
would be above 5,000 and might rise to 7,500.
Battle Fought in Fog
; Details furnished by eyewitnesses of the fight state
that it took place in foggy weather and amidst dense clouds
of smoke from the funnels and guns of the warships.
The aggregate tonnage of the ships lost on both sides
"is placed at approximately 155,000 and the money value of
the ships sunk is estimated at $155,000,000.
The Queen Mary, Indefatigable and Invincible were
the first battle cruisers the British Admiralty has admitted
losing since the war began.
It is believed the British ships were in the majority
although fighting conditions were more favorable for the
Germans, as it is pointed out in the official announcement
of the Admiralty that they were aided by “low visibility."
This evidently referred to fog.
. Ye
Hundreds of Bodies Sighted
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch from Copenhagen
says that fishermen arriving at Esbjerg report seeing outside
the Blaavands Huk hundreds of bodies of British and Ger
man sailors. The fishermen also observed largt quantities
of oil on the surface, apparently from sumbarines. The
water was full of battle wreckage, showing parts of ships,
life belts and pieces of uniforms.
The newspapers, while admitting that the navy suf
fered serious losses in the fight off the Danish coast, de
clare the engagement has no wise affected the naval posi
tion of the country. In some quarters the belief was ex
pressed that the German navy might be emboldened by the
British losses to try more raids on a bigger scale, but if this
result follows it would unquestionably prove a disastrous
policy.

off Jutland on Wednesday afternoon
and night.
According to these stories the Ger

Moskov states that he sighted the
British fleet a short time before the
battle and that it numbered from
seventy to eighty ships.

The Politken this afternoon prints
tales brought to Ron by Danish sall
ors to the effect that the German fleet
consisted of five large modern dread
noughts, eight cruisers and twenty
torpedo hoate and destroyers,
The crew of the Danish steamer
Naerburg, who saw part of the bat
tle, estimate the German fleet at
about forty ships, ranging from bat
tleships to torpedo boats. With the
fleet were Zeppelins.
The story of the battle is really the
story of the Nsfjord--—the tramp over
which 1t all occurred. ’
According to the story gleaned by
The Politken from the accounts of
sailors, two British torpedo boats
stopped the Nsfjord Wednesday af
ternoon toexamine ite papers. While
the formality was taking place a
German fleet appeared on the hori
zon.
Teutons Open Fire.
While the British made ready for
a running fight, the Germans opened
fire. Several hundred shells splashed
around the torpsdo boats, but no hits
were made. The British, putting a
screen of smoke between themselves
and the Teutons, fled toward the
west. The German squadron pur
suod the British vessels
They steamed off beyond the hori
zon. Then firing was heard. The
Nafjord was beld up at about 4
o'clock. The first heavy firing was
heard about an hour later. The
scene of the first clash is given as
abbut 120 miles off Henstholm, |
| Shortly after the German squad
ron dashed by two Zeppeling were
sighted flying rapidly to the west
ward. .They were golug to the aid
of the fleet.
For four hours after the first heavy
firing began the battle Yaged. Final
ly the sea was quiet again about 9
o'clock at nifln.
Half Hidden by Smoke.
The Danish ship Narosburg was in
the thick of the battie. It arrived
here today. The crew told of hew on

LONDON, June 3.—One of the eye
witnesses of the battle, Cdptain Hunt,
of a steam trawler, describes how
the fleeing German ships rolled south

ships, guided by their searchlights,
rained shells around the fugitives, |
“There were seven big German men

said Captain Hunt. “It was about
10:30 o'clock on Wednesday night and
the ships were traveling at what |
reckoned to be nearly 30 miles an
hour. The British ships were follow
ing about 2,000 yards behind the fugi
tives. The searchlights were turned
fulbupon the German ships, and shells
were being poured from every gun,
The nolse was deafening and the men«
of-war were completely enveloped by
dense clouds of smoke which rolled
from the funnels and from the busy
guns.
