when it became dark and during the
ni^ht a series of single cruiser and
torpedo boat attacks took place.
"The result of these connected en
gagements is a very satisfactory suc
cess of our fleet against a much
stronger adversary.
"It was ascertained that the losses
of the British which were partly con
firmed by rescued British sailors are
the Warspite, 'Indefatigable and Queen
Mary, two armored cruisere of the
Achilles type, one small cruiser and
destroyers' flagships Turbulent, Nes
tor and Alcaster, and further nine or
ten destroyers of whom our battle
ship Westfalien alone sank six dur
ing the night attacks."
The report continued that the Ger
man losses included the Pommern
and Waisbaden and several torpedo
Iboats. Admiral Hebbinghaus men
tions that the cruiser Frauenlob was
seen by a torpedo boat to be keeling
during the night, so that she must
be considered lost. The crews and
materials of the fleet proved ex
cellent.
The navy is in brilliant spirits, the
admiral reported.

NOW YORK, June 3.—The latest
German version of the British losses
in the North sea battle again men
tions the 'battleship Warspite, but
does not claim destruction of the bat
tle cruiser Invincible, admitted by
the British admiralty to have been
sunk.
It would thus appear that the dif
ference in the reports Is merely a
question of identity.
One of the most striking features
of the latest German report is that
the battleship Westfallen alone
sank six British torpedo boats.
The report of Admiral Hebbing

the German fleet in action. ,£..

Semi Official Statement.^'
BERUX (via wireless to Sayville),
June 3.—Vice Admiral Scheer was
in command of the German high sea*,
fleet which engaged the British on
May 31, and Vice Admiral Hipper
commanded the reconnoitering force
which was first drawn into the battle,
a semi-official statement, giving fur
ther details of the engagement, stated
today.
"In addition to the official admiral
ty report it is stated by a competent,
authority that In the battle off Skag
erack, there participated under com'
mand of Chief of the Navy Vice Al
njiral Scheer, the German high sea
fleet with dreadnoughts and older
battleships, battle cruisers and also
light sea forces, torpedo boats and
submarine flotillas being in the. North
sea," the semi official statement says.
"On the enemy's side, the Germans
faced a majority of the ISogllsh mod
ern navy.
"The German reconnoitering forces
were commanded by Vice Admiral
Hipper.
"These forces entered first into the
combat with the enemy's battle cruis
ers and light cruisers about five p. m.,
later ^he main bodies of both sides
successfully partook in the flghe.
"During the day battle, German tor
pedo boats several times came into
action successfully, one of them three
times. The fight kept on until nine
in the evening.
"During the day battle, the Engtlsh
lost the dreadnought Warspite, the
battle cruiser Queen Mary, one armor
ed cruised, apparently of the Achillea
type and several destroyers.
"During the night, both sides made
violent attacks by torpedo boats and
cruiser fights.
"Among others, the German lead
ing ship annihilated six modern En
glish destroyers.
"All German reports emphasize the
bravery shown by the British during
the fight, which continued almost un
interrupted for twelve hours.
"His majesty's ship Franenlob must
be definitely considered lost. The
ship sank apparently during the night
of May 31 and June 1 during a partial
engagement.
"From the German torpedo boats,
flye have not returned, but a large
part of the crews were rescued.
"Although the weather was unfav
orable for air reconnoitering, during
both days of the engagement naval
airships and flyers contributed consid
erably by reconnoitering and quick
action, to the success of the German
high aeas forces."
Qrecrt Moral Effect.
[By J. W. T. Mason, Written for the
United Press.]
N0W YORK, June 3.—The result
of the Skagerack naval battle will
add /lew prestige to the growing
record of Germany*® young navy it
will have a stimulating moral effect
upon the Germans and must depress
the British nation because of the
large disparity in losses.
But the major purpose of the op
posing navies in the present war is
to keep trade routes open for friend
ly merchantmen and to close them to
eneany merchantmen. The success of
the German fleet in the Skagerack
will not open German ports to the
trade of the world. Not a pound of
meat nor a barrel of flour will enter
Germany because of the Skagerack
victory "and because of this reason,
the military effeot of the battle
squadrons cannot possess major Im
portance.
The present incomplete details
suggest that the British cruiser squad
.ron was led into a German trap. Un
less the battle was an accidental
meeting of the opposing forces,
which is not probable, it seems like
ly a new policy of observation
close to German waters was being
put into operation by the British ad
miralty. After the warship raid on
the British east coast last April, it
was announced that new dispositions
of the British fleet were being made
to prevent such adventures in the
future.
The British cruiser squadron in the
Skagerack may have been acting un
der this new policy. If this inter
pretation be correct, then the Ger

the British cruisers could be caught
by a superior force and would 'be
largely at the enemy's meVcy until
the arrival of rescuing dreadnoughts
which would restore superiority to
the British, fleet. This may well be
what occurred.

Over 4,000 Lost.
PORTSMOUTH, England, June 3.—
More than 4,000 British officers and
men, including two admirals, were ad
mitted this afternoon to have been
lost in the great battle in the North
sea.
As the port commander admitted
there was no hope for further surviv
ors being picked up, the .British
losses will undoubtedly total about
5,000.
Known losses announced did not in
clude mention of about ten destroy
ers, each carrying a crew of 100 men
which were lost. This would in
crease the death toll by 1,000 al
though it was stated "a few surviv
ors" of the TIpperary have bee*
picked up.
The highest ranking officers who
went down with their ships were Rear
Admiral Horace Hood and Rear Ad
miral Arbuthnot. Hood went down
with the Invincible and Arbuthnot
with the Defense.
The TIpperary is the only destroy
er mentioned in the accounting here,
but it is assumed the losses aboard
other vessels of this type wfere as
heavy as the Tipperary.
(Rear Admiral Horace Lambert Al
exander Hood was the second son of
the Fourth Viscount Hood and was
born October 2, 1870. He was made a
lieutenant in 1890 and served in the
Soudan expedition in 1897. He be
came a captain in 1903 and a rear ad
miral in 1913. He was awarded the
Distinguished Service Order in 1903,
when he was serving in the Somali
land expedition. In 1912 he was A.
D. C. to the king.
Rear Admiral Sir Robert Keith Ar
buthnot was born March 23, 1864, anl
entered the navy in 1877. He was
made commander in 1897 captain in
1902 and rear admiral in 1812.
«.
Admiral Hood Went Down.
PORTSMOUTH, June 3.—Rear Ad
miral Horace HCKKI, commander of
the British battle cruiser Invincible,
went down with his ship and perish
ed.
The port commander here posted
notice today that of the Invincible's
officers and crew only the command
er, a lieutenant and three men were
saved. All others were lost.
All aboard the Queen Mary were
lost when that ship went down, with
the exception of eight men.
On Defense, all were lost, includ
ing Rear Admiral Arbuthnot.
From the Warrior all were saved.
A few were picked up from the Tip
perary,
All were lost aboard-the Indefatig
able and Black Prince.
The port commander holds out no
hope for other survivors.
Fifty German Ships.
YMUIDEN, Holland, June 3.—Cap
tain Punt, of the Dutch trawler John
Brown, who witnessed the big battle
in the North sea, gave the following
description of the engagement today:
"The Germans had at least fifty
ships, including dreadnoughts, which
I first eaw heading north by north
west when the British approached
from the northeast. They were great
ly outnumbered.
"The engagement started at 4:T5.
The smaller British forces pluckily
endeavored to cut in behind the Ger
mans to prevent their return to
Heligoland.
"Suddenly a fiast British cruiser
was detached and headed hot speed
for westward, evidently for reinforce"
meats.
"Meantime the Germans had al
tered their course westward, but by 7
the British squadron had been
reinforced and the Germans began
to withdraw. A running fight then
continued until 11 p. m.
'"Dense smoke overhung the water.
Shells repeatedly flew over my trawl
62°
"I believe the attempt of the Brit
ish to cut off the Germans' retreat
was only prevented by the timely
flight of the enemy."

lowing: Hitchcock never asked
Hughes if he could be hin manager
Hughes never said he could be and
likewise never said he couldn't
Hitchcock never asked and never re

delegates for Hughes. In short—
"They have had no communication,
whatever," said Green, and he added,
for good measure, "of any kind."
Of all the talent gathered in Chi

politicians asked.
The men who said thev thought
him earnestly and unselfishly pushing
the Hughes boom for the good of the
country—or of Hughes were few and
far between. One suggestion from a
source friendly to Hughes was that
Hitchcock bad seized the Hughes
movement on behalf of the justice
opponents, to help keep i*. in control.
This man—a senator—pointed out
that when the Hughes movement be
gan to center around Hitchcock, it's
troubles began.
Apparently blunder has followei

it. Hughes is "in bad" ail along the
row in Chicago.
Washingtoin never has regarded
Hitchcock as a political blundeier.
"He is most likely working for
Roosevelt." said this Hughes senator
"Despite 1912, he is fond of Roose
velt—likes him as a practical poli
tlcian. Honest now, can you imagine
a man as fond of patronage as Hitch
cock lining up with Hughes?"
Hitchcock's business friendships
and alliances, another senator declare
are with the Wall street interests
friendly to George W. Perkins.

convention fight against Theodore
•Roosevelt today.
Some of the "Big Three," Penrose.
Barnes and Crane, were bombarded
with telegrams asking them to pre
vent at all costs, the nomination of
the colonel by the republican conven
tion next week. Senator Penrose, it
was reported, had heard from the
Pennsylvania Germans today. There
have been persistent rumors that
Penrose, while perhaps not ready to
lend his active support to Roosevelt,
would at least not fight against him.
Favorite sons hoped against hope
today that th6 Roosevelt-Hughes situ
ation would develop a deadlock which
•would furnish an opportunity for a
compromise.
The bulk of the delegates will not
arrive here until early next week, but
those on hand today were frank in
their statements that so far Roosevelt
apparently has the best of the bar
gain.

the British fleet fully showed its
superiority to the Germans. Em
phasis is laid on the fact that Jellicoe
waited on the scene for many hours
for further possible action, but that
the Germans did not again offer
battle when the Bullish offered their
full strength.
The sum total of the English
claims at the admiralty is that a
portion of the British fleet met a
portion of the German fleet and for©
ed it to retire, also that the Germans
were in their own waters while the
British were nearly 600 miles from
home.
If the engagement had been fought
in British waters, not a single Ger
man would have reached home, was
one unoflicial statement of the ad
miralty.
A story in circulation that wines
Albert, King George's sailor son,
was in the engagement, was denied
today.

NEW YORK. June 8.—The New
York Evening Sun financial review
today says: To the exclusion vir
tually of all other subjects Wa.l
street discussions centered this morn
ing upon the great naval battle in the
North sea between the German and
English fleets. -Later advices temper
ed to some extent at least. In the
minds of the professional traders, the
magnitude of the British reverse. Al
though prices opened irregularly, tha
Initial declines in no Instance ex
ceeded the limits of a moderate frac
tion and recovering tendencies de
veloped very early in the session.'
As the trading progressed, pool
clique operators particularly in Inter
national Mercantile Marine preferred
and in the motor stocks resumed op
erations and sharp advances reflect
ed in some of the special issues. Re
coveries in the general list were not
extensive.
Speculative conditions were not I
modified to any important extent.

of their own class, despite the low
visibility favoring the Germans. The
inference is drawn that the greatest
execution waa done by the German
battleships which were In. •ction tci
the start, but that as their equals
armament drew near, they retreated!
Copenhagen dispatches declare thai
the ateamer Naesborg, arriving therei
reported that the German fleet con.
sisted of forty-five vessels of all
classes. In the British fleet there
were only eleven vessels at the start
of the fight. Later elglt British ve-J
sels of the first line Joined in the
battle, members of the Naeborg crew
declared. The fact that Zeppelins par
tlclpated In the battle was confirmed
by the Naeborg orew. They reported
aighting one Zeppelin. With the ar
rival of the British reinforcements,
the German fleet retired aouthward.
Heavy gun fire waa heard far Into the
night.
The captain of the Naesborg de
clared that concussion from the fir
ing was so great that members of his
ship's crew could not stand on deck,
although the Naesborg was several
miles from the scene of action. Shells
dropped all about the Naesborg.
The action opened, he said, wltn
several German vessels In pursuit of
smaller English cfaft. Within a few
minutes British cruisers were sighted
headed toward the Germans under
full steam. —The fleeing British crjft
then turned, and under heavy fire
ateamed into action against the ene
my. The warships were first sighted
120 miles off Hanstholm.
All accounta from Dutch sources
agree that the German fleet waa pro*
ceeding as one unit when the first
British ships were encountered. The
German fiset is estimated In different
reports to have consisted of from
forty to fifty vessels. The weather
waa misty and the aea amooth. Otte
Dutch report fixes the time of open
ing of the battle at 4:15 In the after
noon. All reports apparently agree
that the British were outnumbered at
the start and faced heavier vessels.
Later, as darkneaa aproached the Brit
ish grand fleet appeared and the Ger
mans began to retire.
One report from Ymulden la to the
effect that while the Brltlah fleet was
in the pursuit of the Germane, de
stroyers and submarines
dashed
back
at full speed and stopped the battle
ships. This was believed to Indicate
the possible approach of additional
German warships.

two who were saved.
The aurvlvors said the Shark waa
used aa a decoy for the Brltlah fleet
They were in the water sit and half
houra before being picked up.
