BRITISH ADMIRALTY CLAIMS
GERMANS LOST EIGHTEEN
LONDON, June 3.—Fuller details
4 of the fighting off Helgoland has
had a more reasuring effect upon
the British public, notwithstanding
the severity of the losses, six cruis
era ■ and eight destroyers with fives j
thousand officers and men is the rs-j
suit of the fighting casualties for
the British. The list is increassa ^
by the sinking of the Warrior on
the way to England. The men lost
include Captain Prouse of the
Queen Mary and rear-Admirai
Hood of the Indefjtigable. Gunfire
damaged the Warspite and the
Marlborough. The total losses of
the British including destroyers aro
• fourteen.
k Tb§ German losses are eighteen
including the dreadnaughts Dorr
flinger, Lutzow, Westfallen, the new
battle cruiser Ebling, the dread
naught Pommeren and others.
Neutral dispatches say that the
Seydlitz is badly limping with the
British ■ pursuing and the Germans
bottled up.
The official account of the fight
ing says that Admiral Beatty who
commanded the cruiser and de
stroyer squadron received informa
tion of the German navy’s venture j
from the Bhelter of the mined areas'
and almost due south and slightly ,
east of Helgoland he came in con-;
tact with a fleet numerically his
superior and with weightier guns.
In the engagement that followed
practically all the losses were incur
before Admiral Jcllicoo with the
British dreadnaught fleet arrived
on the scene. The Westfallen wan
sunk by the dreadnaughts, the Dorr
flinger whch was the foremost shli>
almost immediately collapsed under
(the broadsides and later other and
smaller German ships were sunken.
jThe battle now became a running
, fight with the Germans steaming
for port while two or three Zeppe
j lins endeavored to bomb the pur
suing British ships, two Zeppelins
1 are reported by Jellicoe to have
! been downed with the dirigbles
sinking. The British rescued the
crew of the German dreadnaughi
Lutzow in the chase. .
The admiralty while admitting
the great loss claims a great tacti
cal victory in causing greater vessel
loss and driving the Germans ef
fectively behind the blockade lines. ,
BERLIN, June 3.—This city is
now celebrating the naval victory |
off Helgoland. Vice Admiral Scheal |

Goethals, Governor of tlie Canal
Zone returned today to this city.

slides on the Canal is over, as the

hill had to be removed and the
bottom of the canal widened so as
to prevent the upheavels that have
hitherto blocked navigation and
| proved so troublesome.
