mand to Beatty, Went Down
With Vessel.

London, June Ga statement issued
confirming previous accounts of the
battle between the British and Ger
man fleets, reiterates that the German
accounts of the German losses are
false, and that, although the evidence
is still incomplete. enough is known
to justify stating that the German
losses were greater than the British,
mot merely relative to the strength of
the two fleets but absolutely" 1t is
disclosed the Germans lost Is war
ships.
There is the strongest ground for
believing, the statement adds, that the
German losses include two large
battleships, two dreadnaught battle
cruisers of the most powerful type and
two of the latest light cruisers, in ad-
dition to smaller craft, including a
submarine
A dispatch from Copenhagen says
rumors are current in Hamburg that
two additional German warships be-
sides those announced in the German
communication-the battleship West
fallen and the battle cruiser Lutzow
were sunk in the battle A wireless
dispatch received here Saturday from
Berlin said the German admiralty
admitted the loss of the Westfalen.
The official list of the casualties
among officers shows that hardly
single officer Of the line escaped from
the British cruisers sunk in the bat
tie.

GOV. is OPERATED ON
APPENDIX is REMOVED IN MIL
WAUkEE HOSPITAL.
Doctors Report Executive Resting
Easy After operation-At-
tack Came Suddenly.

Milwaukee-Gov. E. L. Philip, was
operated on for appendicitis at the
Milwaukee hospital
THE condition of the governor was
serious at all times" said DR.. Harry
A. Sifton, who with Dr. E. A. Evans
performed the operation
Owing to the fact that the governor
is fieshy man the operation was
more complicated" said Dr. Sifton,
1T was necessary to cut through a
great deal of flesh to reach the appen-
dix which, after it was removed,
showed stony formations and some
puss.
THE patient is resting easily at this
time and his condition is as good as
can be expected. 1t will probably be
three or four weeks before he is able
to leave the hospital. While the op.
Grafton was at all times serious, now
that it is passed and the governor on
the way to recovery. there is no dan
ger. The governors physique made
it more dangerous to him than it
would to man of average build. An
operation for appendicitis is always
more serious where the person is at
all feshy"
Gov Philip was stricken suddenly
while at his home. He had intended
to leave for Chicago to head the unin-
structed delegation from Wisconsin to
the Republican national convention.

Larger Postal Savings
Deposits viii Be Taken
As a Result of an important
Amendment to the Postal
Savings Act.

Larger postal savings deposits will
now be accepted at the postoifice. This
Is made possible by an important
amendment to the postal savings act
Just approved by President Wilson. A
POSTAL savings depositor may now have
an account amounting to $1,000 upon
which Interest will be paid. Formerly
$500 was the maximum amount he
could have to his credit. This enlarge
mont or postal savings facilities will
he very gratifying to thousands OF de-
posters. who have already reached the
old $500 limit and are anxious to en-
trust more Of their savings TO Uncle
Sam.
Another feature OF the amendment
that will avoid further embarrassment
TO The public and TO postal officials
is the doing away with the limit on
the amount that could be accepted
from deposltor monthly. Under the
old law only 500 could be deposited
in a calendar month. The amendment
abo. ishes this restriction. While the
postal savings system has already
proved signal success as is shown
by the fact that more than half-a-mil-
lion depositors have over eighty mil
lion dollars standing to their credit
still 1t has fallen short Of meeting the
