Realizing the overhelmlng British su periority, the kaiser's shlpa headed tack toward their base. For three hours a running battle lasted, the vessels of both sides bring ing their biggest guns Into action.

The Bleucher'a crew continued to fight until the ship was sunk. LONDON', Jan. 25.

The admiralty offered no de tails of the battle supplementary to the statement of yesterday. The Bleucher was sunk, the statement said, and 123 of the crew of 885 were rescued. No reports has been received re garding the fate of two of the enemy's cruisers, which' the admiralty's offi cial statement declared sought refuge In the German mine and submarine area after being seriously damaged.
