LO.VDOX. Oct."l?. The Post has pub
lished a dispatch . from Harwich dated
Sunday. October 18, on the return to port
of the British warships which vanquished
four German torpedo boat destroyers In
the North Sea last Saturdsy. The dis
patch' said: ...
"Berlng',,ltV;ba.Ule' honors proudly, the
Undaunted (Ms afternoon led Into Har
wich froni the North Boa the destroyers
which participated in the engagement the
result of whlch was the sinking of four
German destroyers. The spectacle ashore
and sf lost was a moving one. Bailors,
soldiers and . civilians swarmed onto, the
pier and to points of vantage, cheering
the victors, y . . , V . '
' Forced to Fisat.
"Interviews with the crew of the tTn".
daunted show that this vessel, together
with four British torpedo.boat destroyers,
left Harwich early Saturday morning and
sighted the. Qertysns early. In the after
noon. By fine seamanship the enemy'Was
forced to fight.- The German destroyers
faced th odds bravely, with Us big guns
the Undaunted opened 'lie at a range of
Jive miles. Then ' the ,' smaller -veseels
closed In and' became' busy.'
"Then began a running fight.. While the
cruiser,' protected from torpedoes . by its
fighting ' consorts,, devoted ,lts 'attention
particularly to two of the enemy's 'ships
the destroyers attacked the ; other two'.
The reply 'from the Geninans 'was very
poor in comparison.' -The1 first Jf the 'en
emy's crat sank after a half ,hours fight
ing. Within an hour and a half the' bat
Ue was over. ; ; ' .' ' ""
(rasas 11 ark y.
"One sailor-pays' tribute-, to the pluck
of the Germans. .They fought .well, ,he
ssld, end kept firing till they sank. This
accounts for the smallness of 1U num
ber of German survivors.
"The . destroyer -r Loyal ..brought back
three British wounded, together with the
bodies of four German men and one Gen
man officer who had succumbed to their
! Injuries on the way.
I "The wounded have been transferred to
.Shotley hospital and the prisoners of war
have been tsKen from the Undaunted snd
removed to barracks."- ' . . u ,.
From another source It Is related that
a trawler ' sighted the German destroyers
before, the British fleet came up., When
the German, boats saw .the -enemy . they
ir.ade frantic efforts to escape.

Var Summary
A struggle for the possession of
the strip of Krenth ros cosst thst
Is nr-sresl the shores of England,
was the most Interesting phsc of
,the wnr situation today.
British naval forces are reported
to have Joined In the movement
with the allies, who aro making a
determined stand on the Belgian
frontier against the westward
drive of the Oermaft right wing.'
The eiset battle line Is not
known. This afternoon's official
French statement says that the
German artillery has attacked
without success , "the front of
Nlcuport to Vladsloo, to the east
of Dlsmude." The allies. It adds,
have advanced as fsr as Bottlers
and there has been sharp fighting
on a front from LaBassee to Ab
laln and. St. Natalre. .
Paris, states that the allies aro
moving on Lille, which was occu
pied by the Germans cn October
13..
An earlier dispatch from Lon
don 'stating that Germans were
bombarding Ulle may have re
ferred to events prior to October
IS and been delayed in transmis
sion from France to London.
There Is nothing from Berlin to
reveal the portion of the Germans
that are contending for the coast
line. There Is no doubt, however;
that they are bound for Dunkirk
and Calais and are expecting a
strong resistance. , , ,
Rains that caused much suffer
ing to the troops in France earlier
in the campaign, are falling again
on the battlefield so continuously
that great hardships result to the
men, and military maneuvers are
made more difficult.
' Germans and Austrlang have en
countered bad weather in Russian
Poland, heavy roads delaying the
movement of their artillery; They
claim, however, to be making pro
gress along the Vistula. Pelro
grad asserts that the invasion has
been definitely checked.' ,'
