 and 1ndomitable. The first three of these cruisers mount eight 13.5-inch guns each and even the New Zealand and Indomitable carry 12-inch guns which are equal to those of the Der hlnger, the only one of the German ships that had better than 11-inch guns.
 The Official Report
 The official report issued by the press bureau gives the following ac- count of the engagement:
 Early this morning a British pa trolling squadron of battle cruisers and light cruisers, under Vice Ad- miral Sir David Beatty, with destroyer f1otilla under command of Commodore Tyrwhitt, sighted four German bat tie cruisers and several light cruisers and a number of destroyers steering westward and apparently making for the English coast.
 Made for Home.
 The enemy at once made for home at high speed. They were at once pursued and at about 9:30 a. m. ac- tion was joined between the battle cruisers Lion, Tiger. Princess Royal and Indomitable on the one hand and the Derfinger, Seydlitz, Moltke and Bluecher on the other. A well con- tested running fight ensued Short ly after 1 o'clock the Bleucher, which had previously fallen out of line, capsized and sank
 Admiral Beatty reports that two other battle cruisers were seriously T Y, to continue their flight and reached an area where dangers from German submarines and mines prevented fur ther pursuit
 British Casualties Slight.
 No British ships have been lost and our casualties in personnel as at present reported are slight, the Lion which. led the line, having only eleven wounded and no killed.
 "One hundred and tventy-three survivors have been rescued from the Bluecher's crew of SS5 and it is pos sible that others have been saved by some of our destroyers. No reports of any destroyer or light cruiser fighting have yet been received at the admiralty. though somo has appar- ently taken place.
 'The lordships have expressed their satisfa ction to Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty
 Commodore Reginald Y. Tyrwhitt who also took part in the battle off commanded the light | cruiser which accompanied Vice Ad- 1 miral Beattys battle cruisers
 Sneal<ing Out at Dawn
 Tho Germans were observed sor,o 1 time after dawn proceeding in the | direction of the British coast. When 1 they sighted the superior British 1 fleet, they turned and made at full | speed for nome waters and it was only after a stern chase that the faster British ships got within range of them. For more than four hours the running battle lasted, the firing being plainly heard in North Hol- land, where 1t was judged the fight took place north of the island of Ameland and Schiermonnik-Oo

 Should Get Speedicr Decision.
 The preparation of a aft-findng and counter finding before judgment should also result, incidentally, in getting a speeder decision of cases by the trial court.
 So far as your com mittee can see there is no sufficient reason for re- taining in section 79S the requirement. that an appellant shall specify in his appeal the time and place of holding the court.
 Another change which seems de- sirable to your committee is uni formity in the time within which ap peals must be taken. Your commit tee has prepared a bill which incor- porates the changes above referred to.
 "EGicicncy" Watchword.
 "The watchword of the twentieth century is efficiency but the effi- ciency developed in business has not been reached in political affairs said Edward A. Hartman of New Haven in his address on "Efficiency in the Administration of Justice" He continued:
 'Inetficiency in law is not the in- efficiency of lawyers, as such in the protection of their clients interests but inefficiency in the administration of justice for which lawyers are wrongfully charged with responsibil- ity. The administration of justice is the prerogative of the sovereign, and for it's efficiency the sovereign alone is responsible. In this country, the people are sovereign and the people, and not the bar are responsible for the administration of justice.
