that Russian forces entered Is-

London, March 21.—An en-
gagement occurred yesterday off
the Belgian coast between four
British and three German de-
stroyers. Two of the German
vessels were hit. Four men on
the British boats were wounded.
The official account of the
action follows:
“Yesterday morning four Brit-
ish destroyers sighted three
German destroyers off the Bel-
gian coast. The German de-
stroyers at once turned and ran
for Zeebrugge chased by our own
destroyers.
“Shots were exchanged. Dur-
ing this short running fight two
enemy boats were obsgved to
have been hit. Our casualties
were four men wounded.”

The German version of the
foregoing engagement declares
that it was broken by the Brit-
ish, who steamed away at full
speed after they had received
several direct hits, and that the
Germans suffered only unimport-
ant damage.
