The Casualties

The admiralty today announced the
casualties as follows:
THE light cruiser Arethusa lost
Lieut.. Eric Westmacott and nine men
killed. four men seriously wounded
and Lieut.. Robinson and II men
wounded but not seriously.
THE torpedo boat destroyer Liberty
lost Lieut.. Commander Bartelot and
six men killed; one man who has since
died from wounds; one dangerously
wounded; five seriously wounded, and
five slightly wounded.
The destroyer Laurel suffered 10
men killed and one has since died of
his wounds, two men dangerously
wounded, seven seriously wounded and
two slightly wounded"
The Liberty, one of the British de-
stroyers which took part in the bat
tie, was hit by a shell which shatter-
ed her mast, tore away part of her
bridge, smashed her searchiights and
killed her commander, Lieut.. Com
mander Nigelko w. Bartelot and Will
liam Butcher, mis- signal man. Their
deaths were instantaneous.
Accounts of the battle say 1t was
perfect in execution as well as in
plan A small detachment of destroy
ers crept within the German lines at
dawn between Helgoland and the Ger
man coast.
An aeroplane sighted them and gave
the news to the Germans, whose de-
stroyers then came out. The British
destroyers lured the Germans to the
open sea, where other destroyers were
in, oh
small engagement followed and then
the German cruisers came out. The
British light cruiser Arethusa, after
sighting shot got her range splendidly
and hit the foremost gun of one of
the German cruisers, demolishlng 1t.
The Arethusa then fired a few broad
sides at the enemy. Her practice was
excellent. She hit a German cruiser
which at once burst into smoke and
flame, but soon afterwards German
shot did some damage in the engine
room of the Arethusa.
The destroyers Liberty and Laertes
fought a grand fight. The Laertes was
hit amidships, hole was shot through
her funnel, her forward guns were
damaged and she received also a shell
in the dynamo room and a shot aft
which wrecked her cabin.
1t was hot work, but at that mo-
ment the British light cruisers and
battle cruisers appeared. 1t was the
moment for which they had been
waiting. and their execution was
deadly. The first shell from one of
the British battle cruisers sank a Ger
man cruiser which had been batter
ing a destroyer.
The German fleet then turned and
fled in the direction of Cuxhaven, but
they were pursued by the British de-
stroyers, which did terrible execution
with their four-inch guns.
Many of the Germans landed from
the British ships after the battle
| were founded by revolver bullets. II
| is declared that the revolvers were
used by German officers to prevent
their men surrendering to the British
boats which had put off to save the
drowning opponents. Some of the
boats lowered to the rescue of the
| Germans, it is said, were fired upon
! by German cruisers.

AS an outgrowth of the social center
work which has been going on at
Whitewater school during the summer
under the direction of Mrs. H. l.. Mon
arch, Mrs. J. T. Giles and other club
women, an organization of mothers to
be known as the Helping Hand" is
to be formed to carry on work in the

The work at the school has been fin
ished for the summer, but will be
taken up again after Chautauqua. The
Mothers League, which was organized
earlier, will continue to exist but with
out the guiding hand of the social cen
ter workers. Through dissension
| among members, some of them decid-
ed to remove the league from the
school and hold meetings in the North

All mothers will be permitted to
join the Helping Hand" the name
proposed for the new winter league
This organization will have for it's
purpose the same principles for which
| the Mothers League was organized.

school board. The interior of the
school is now being made ready for the

Latest Hair Styles
For Summer

This year, with all the variety Of
hair styles, fashions has decreed none
but the rather simple ones which re-
uuire the very best possible use of all
the natural hair a woman has. Especi-
ally for the hot months do the styles
call for the elimination of all extra
hair and artificial helps. Here is a
shampoo which makes your hair look
much heavier than it is and offers a
quick, easy and economical way to
cleanse the scalp. 1t will restore to
the hair its soft fluff, rich gloss and
natural color, because it is made for
use on the hair only and is not a make
shift or a soap to be used for a hun
dred different purposes. Make it by
simply dissolving a teaspoonful can
throx, which every drug store carries
in stock in a cup hot water. then pour
ing slowly on the head as you rub
briskly. This makes thick, soothing
lather that allays irritation, makes the
head feel good and puts the scalp in
a healthy condition, which assures
beautiful, heavy hair.
