Excerpt from Documentary History of the War, Vol. 7: Naval Part 3
For convenience of reference an explanatory list of the abbreviations used in the margin of this volume, to indicate sources of information, is here appended: -
C.O... Communiques Officiels. These are extracted and translated by permission from a French publication entitled "Nos Marins et la Guerre," belonging to the well-known series of "Pages d"Histoire" (Paris and Nancy, Librairie Militaire Berger-Levrault), and containing, amongst other matter of a less official character, the official communications of the French Ministry of Marine.
U.S.D.C... United States Diplomatic Correspondence, a series of publications issued by the American Department of State, and containing "Diplomatic Correspondence with Belligerent Governments relating to Neutral Rights and Commerce."
D.N.S.B.... Dutch North Sea Book, an official publication of the Netherlands Government, entitled "Diplomatieke Bescheiden betreffende de Vaart in de Noordzee en het Kanaal in Verband met den Oorlogstoestand" (s" Gravenhage-Algemeene Landsdrukkerij - 1915). The correspondence extracted from this publication and cited in the present volume is given, in the original, in English as regards the English despatches, and in French as regards the Dutch. The latter have been translated.
K.D... Kriegs-Depeschen, a German serial publication entitled "Kriegs-Depeschen, nach den amtlichen Berichten des W.T.B. [i.e., the Wolff Telegraphic Bureau] zu-sammengestellt" (Boll u. Pickardt, Verlagsbuch-handlung, Berlin). This serial is largely, but not entirely, identical with that next to be described, and most of the extracts common to both have been taken from the latter. In all cases they have been translated.
