NORDEN WARD put IN spite o'
the stronges, reason and usually be
cause OF some trihing excuse. Re
move the excuse and he immediate
ly becomes an enthusiastic dry
worker.
That is the reason why 40 many
men have become such ardent pro
hibitionists when once they take =
stand against The saloons. They
have been opposed 10 saloons all
the time, had strong reason. per
sonal 10 themselves for opposing sa'
looms. but a mere tr!As held them
from expressing themselves.
Let me illustrate the thought An
ex-saloonkeeper who had sold his
saloon because Of the death o. an
only daughter who had opposed bis
business. stu continued TO support
the saloon. The death OF hts daugh-
ter was due 10 worry over the sa-
loon. He knew Il and also knew
that II nearly Killed his wife, stu
he voted for the saloon. his excuse
being tha, the saloon Is the poor
mans club.
"If the saloons are closed. where
can a poor man 90 70 spend bis
evenings. especially when his wife
works away from home and does
not have time 10 make his home
comfortable he argued
Il was explained 10 him that the
IS or more a week that the man
spends In the saloon Is more than
his wife could earn. and that but
for the saloon she could remain AZ
home and make Il comfortable and
pleasant for her husband and
family.
He saw the hight. The excuse
for supporting saloons vanished. He
knew enough Ibou. the business 70
know that no one can spend bis
evenings ia q sa'oon w!thou; spend
ing at leaGt s. a week. and that that
IS week. in addition TO what he
turned In, would enable the wife TO
make home a better club for her
husband and children than the sa-
loon could ever hope 10 be; and BY
letting liquor alone the husband
would be far more capable OF appre-
ciating the pleasures OF his wife and
children's society.
But. finally. the daughters death
and the wife's sorrow were his real
reasons for opposing the saloon-the
one he always referred 10 when a
personal reason was given. A

Are you producing your
power as cheaply as you
can buy it from the Central
Station? This is question
which the Manufacturer may
well consider-it concerns his shop costs,
his profits. A very large proportion OF
Detroit's manufacturing industries are
using central station power with great
advantage-probably you also could do so.
We suggest that you let US assist you in
making a thorough analysis Of your oper-
ating conditions and thus enable you def
ntely to answer the above question.
Our engineers are at your service. No
charge or obligation will be incurred.

 Meanwhile. Admiral Sir John Jelli- coe having driven the enemy into port, returned to the main scene of the action and secured the sea in search of disabled vessels. By noon, the next day, June l. it became evil dent that there was nothing more to be done. He returned, therefore, to his bases, 40 miles away, re-fueled his fleet and in the evening of June was again. ready to put to sea.
 British Losses Fully Stated.
 The British losses have already been fully stated. There is nothing to add to or subtract from the latest account published by the admiralty. The ene- my losses are less easy to determine. That the accounts they have given are false is certain and we cannot yet be sure of the exact truth. But from such evidence as has, come to our knowledge the admiralty entertains no doubt that the German losses are heav- fer than the British not merely rela- lively to the strength of the two fleets but absolutely.
 There seems to be the strongest ground for supposing that included in the German losses are two battIeships two dreadnought battle cruisers of the most powerful type, two of the latest light cruisers, the Wiesbaden and Elb- ing, a light cruiser of the Bostoeh type, the light cruiser FEauenlob. nine destreyera and g. sllbnarine.1

 Senator Weeks called on Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania today and held 20-minute conference with him. As he passed out of the quarters of the Pennsylvanian, he merely said:
 Senator Penrose and | are old friends, and we had only a social chat"
 Did Senator Penrose make any promises to support you at any stage of the balloting?" he was asked

London, June 4, 1O.4s D. m-The British admiralty tonight issued statement saving there was the strongest grounds for the belief that the British navy in the battle with the Germans off Jutland last week had accounted for a total of eighteen Ger man men-of-war and that there was nothing to add or subtract from the original announcement of the British losses.
 The statement gave the German losses as two battleships, two dread nought battle cruisers, four light crui-- sers, nine torpedo boat destroyers and a submarine.
 Pessimisnn in London Lessened.
 The pessimism which prevailed as a result, of the admiralty's original state ment of losses which is now consid- cred to have been needlessly candid end conservative in under estimating the extent of the German losses as compared with those of Great Britain. has been greatly lessened by tho latest statement.
 Rumors Current in Hamburg.
 A despatch from Copenhagen says rumors are current in Hamburg that two German warships besides those announced in the German eomnunica- -the battleship Westfalen and the battle cruiser Lutzow-were sunk in aO "A ceived here Saturday from Berlin said the German admiralty admitted the loss of the Westfaien.
 German Losses the Greater.
 The admiralty statement tonight de- clares that the German losses in the fight were not only relatively, but ab- solutely greater than those of the Brit ish. Maintaining it's practice of cau- ton, the admiralty still refrains from giving the names of the lost German ships.
 Hardly Line Officer Escaped.
 The official list of the casualties among officers shows that hardly a single officer of the line escaped from the British cruisers sunk in the bat tic. An additional casualty list of pet ty officers shows that forty-three of them were saved from the Queen Mary, Invincible. Fortune, Ardent and shark. None were saved from the h. defatigable, Defence, Black Prince, Tipperary, Turbulent, Nomad or Nes- tor.
 The list gives the names of sixty five men killed aboard the Warrior and of 27 men wounded. On other ships engaged in the fight 115 men were killed and S5 wounded
 No Failure n British Strategy.
 Admiral Lord Beresford in an inter- view today, while contending strongly for the view that there was no failure in the British strategy and that Vice Admiral Beatty won a brilliant suc- cess, though it was dearly bought, de- clares that the only mistake made wal by the admiralty in allowing the Ger. mans to get first in the field with thu news or the battle or as he puts it with timpudent fabrications" Other. wise, said Lord Beresford, no faul can be found with the admiralty.

JACOB E. scHaFF TO
 WORK AS INpINIDuAl-
Has Broken AfFiIiatIon With What He
 Calls eJewish Politics.

New York. June Jacob Fl. Schiff, known to Jews throughout the world for many years as one of the leaders of their race appeared today before the annual convention of the KehalIas, or Jewish Community of New York, and pronounced what he called his s.valedictory." His voice trembling with emotion. he told the delegates he had determined to break all his affilia- ton with what might be termed Jew ish politics" and hereafter to do his work for his race as private indi- vidual.
 MT. Schif said his appearance, which was unexpected. was due to his wish to set himself straight before the Jews of the city and country. He declared he had been bitterly attacked in the Jewish press because of the Tnisquotation of his remarks at the Central Jewish Institute two weeks ago. At that time he deprecated the proposal that Yiddish be spoken by Jews in all public places. He said today he then had declared his belief that if the Jews Of Russia and the Jews Of Poland would not have been kept as a separate people by then- judices of persecution to which they had been subjected would not have reached the stage to which all regret it has unfortunately come"
 MT. SchiH said he had expected ar attack against him, because one had been threatened if he did not give uT his opposition to the proposed Ameri- can Jewish congress, but, he added that he felt he deserved better at the hands of his co-reli igionists after the work he had done for them.

BRITISH AiDIMIRALTY's
 STATEMENT OF BATTLE
Claims German Accounts of the Ger
 man Losses Are False.

London June 4, 1012 D. m.--A state- ment Issued tonight by the British ad- miralty, confirming previous accounts of the battle between the British and German fleets reiterates that the Ger man accounts of the German losses arc false and that although the evil dence is still incomplete xenough is known to justify stating that the Ger man losses were greater than the Brit ish, not merely relatively to the lutely4'
 The text of the statement follows:
 Until the commander -in- chief has had time to consult the officers en- gagged and write a full despatch, any attempt to give a. detailed history of the afternoon of the thirty first of May and ended in the morning hours of the first of June, would evidently De premature But the results are quite plain
 Leading Ships in Vigorous Fight.
 The grand fleet came in touch with the German high seas fleet at 3.30 on the afternoon of May 31. The lead ing ships of the two fleets carried on vigorous fight, in which the battle cruisers, last battleships and subsid- iary craft all took an active part.
 Losses Severe on Both Sides.
 ''The losses were severe on both sides, but when the main body of the British fleet came into contact with the German high seas fleet very brief period sufficed to compel the sIat- ter, who had been severely punished. to seek refuge in their protected wa ters The nanoeuver was rendered possible by low visibility and mist and although the grand fleet were now and then able to get In momentary contact with their opponents, no continuous action was possible.
 Pursued Until Light Failed.
 serhey continued the pursuit until the light had wholly failed while the British deatroyers were able to make a successful attack upon the enemy during the night.
