Another Attempt by Germany To Raid EnglUh Coaat Met I ? WiUiPiimNffi ? L Umdou. Jau. ?t~An attempt by a German cruiser squad rou to rej>6?f the recent at took on Scarborough, the Ha rtel pools and other British coaat town*, was frustrated today by the British patrolling squadron, and In a running fight the German armored crulaer Bluecher was sunk and two German battle cruisers seriously dam*' age^ The British shift* suffered only slight injury. So far an is known only 128 of the Bluechfcr's crow of H85 were saved. A battle alHo occurred between the light cruisers and destroyers accom panying the bigger ships, but tho re HiUt of tln^.t engagemeift has not yet reached the Admirality. The British were sui>erlor hi Hhips engaged, weight of armament and speed and the night of the German ships into the mlue and submarine in fested held possibly saved them from further losses. The Bluecher was a cruiser of 15, 560 tons displacement, and although commissioned in 1008, was completely re-rlggcd last year. ' She was not class ed as a battle cruiser, but was in the next class to those formidable lighters. With her were the Derfilnger, Ger many's latest battle cruiser, which had just left the builders hands and the battle erasers Seydlitz and Moltke, the latter h sister ship of the Goehen, formerly of th?l German but now of the Turkish fleet which was recently reported damaged by' the Russians in the Black Sea. The British squadron, commanded by Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, who also was in command at the bat tle off Helgoland, last August, consist ed of the battle cruisers Tiger, Lion, Princess Royal, New Zealand and In domitable., The first three of these cruisers mount eight 13-5-inch guns each, and even the New Zealand and Indomitablo carry 12-inch guns, which are equal to those of the Derfilnger, the only one of tho German ships that had fetter than 11-inch guns. Commodore Reginald Tyrwhltt, who also took part in the hpttle off Helgo land. commanded the light cruisers and destroyers which accompanied vice Admiral Beatty's battle cruisers. The Germans were observed some time after dawn proceeding in t indi rection of the British coast. When they sighted the Superior British fleet they turned and matVj at full speed for home waters and it was only after a stern chase that the faster British* ships got within range of them. The running battle lasted more than four hours, the firing being plainly heard in North Holland, -where it was judg ed the fight took place north of the Is land of Amel and Sehiermonnik-Oog. The Bluecher. which was slower than the other U^rman rruleerH, rvil behind auU Numiwbed to the heavier guiM of the I Jon, which w*n le?dliijt the llriUab Hquadrou.
