have taken place. the British battle ship Superb is said to have been sunk and the cruiser Warrior IS said to have been sinking without the Ger man navy having suffered any loss. On Friday. the 9th of April, num- Der of cruisers are said to have ar. rived in a badly damaged condition The Lion was very badly damaged. Official reports say nothing of this.
 :. Similar reports have come tn hand from reliable neutral sources, to the effect that number of badly damaged and slightly damaged ships had reached English rorts for re. pairs. The manner in which they had been damaged has been left un-l explained.
 Towed Into Ty1ae.
 An especiall large number of damaged ships ran into the Tyne. A damaged cruiser was lowed into the Tyne. A ship of the Lion type with a starboard list and with her aft fun mel missing was lowed into the Firth of Forth.
 The silence of the admiralty cn this is easily to be understood. As the German navy took no part in any fighting on the night in question and as fight with neutral vessels is out 6o of the question, battle ean only have taken place between ships ef the Brit ish fleet which did not recognize each other in the darkness.
 The secretary of the British admir- alty states that there is not word of truth in this fabricatipn. It Is, however. interesting as 2. mark of the anxiety of Germany ar the present moment to make an Impression nn neutral states.

TIME Is MONEY.

How do we conserve our forces
What do we do with the time that is
given to US. and what return do we
get?
In this commercial age wnen every
thing is valued according 10 its cash
returns, how seldom we stop to think
that time is money" We are con-
stantly reading OF how much it costs
to live, and what can be saved. Why
not try TO find out what is the maxi
mum value we get out OF our time,
discOuntLng the time we waste.
If we waste time we are the worst
kind of spendthrifts, for we get abso-
lutely nothing in return. II is like
throwing gold into the fire, because
hours, days, even minutes mean gold.
Many OF Us have a wonderful capacity
for work. We could accomplish great
things. We have enough energy, if il
were bottled up. to propel US any
where we would want to go. But
there is a leak somewhere and we are
losing half our force.
Watch a boy. Think OF the time
he wastes. The steam that could be
used as some great motor power he
allows to escape while he aimlessly
wanders around without purpose. kill
