NORTH SEA BATTLE MAY CHANCE
 US. NAVAL POLICY; STRATECISTS
 AWAIT FULL REPORT OF CONFLICT

Washington June 3.-Keenest inter est was shown in naval, diplomatic, and official circles generally here over the result of the battle in the North Sea between the British and German fleets. Among naval officers particu- IArly the story of the engagement is eagerly looked for, in view of the fact that three modern battle cruisers are admitted to have been lost by the British.
 Already there is speculation as to the effect the result of the sea fight will have on the new building program of the United States navy. The naval appropriation bill was passed by the House of Representatives yesterday. It now goes to the Senate for consid- eration. The bill authorizes the con- struction of battleships, but does call for the building of five battle cruisers, each costing approximately s2o, 900, ,O0O.
 There are now no battle cruisers in the United States navy; but naval stra tegists' and experts are strongly in favor of the introduction of this type of vessel. They have been insisting that up to date the greatest naval les son taught by the war in Europe was the value of the battle cruisers with which the, British won the fight off-t11 @ Falkland Islands. Unofficial accounts received here are regarded by naval experts as too .meagre and indefinite to show anything one way or the other

RAPS ADMIRALTY FOR REPORTS ON
 NAVAL CONFLICT

London, June 3-The British Admir- alty's account. of the Jutland battle is sharply criticised by the Daily Mail which says:
 '"The public will be somewhat sur prised by the lone British report which purports to give account of the battle. After relating our losses it becomes curiously vague and contains what we never were accustomed to see in British naval reports, namely, excuses.
 we are told for example that the enemy's battle feet aided by low vis- ibility, avoided a prolonged action with our main forces The fact ap- pears, however, from this involved and obscure narrative, that the enemy en- gagged part of our fleet with his whole strength and delivered a violent blow before our battleships were able to come into action.
 How far our lack of airships con tributed to this result we are not informed1 But the world is perfect ly aware that British Adnirals work under a tremendous handicap be cause they do not know the move ments and dispositions of the enemy while he knows theirs.

GERMAN LOSSES ARE VERY HEAVY,
 BRITISH CLAIM

London, June 3.-The British public, who retired last night cast down by the first news of the North Sea battle as contained in the earlier British and German reports, took some comfort from the later British report which was found in the morning papers.
 This report, while it did not decrease the British losses except in destroyers, which were reduced from Il to eight, shows that the German losses were much greater than was at first esti- mated
 According to this latest account of the great naval engagement, the Ger man losses include two battleships, one battle cruiser, one light cruiser and six destroyers sunk; two battle cFuis- CTS damaged and three battleships hit
 Naval writers also point out that the German fleet retired as soon ass the main British fleet appeared on the scene so that there is no question about the superiority of sea power remain ing in British hands The loss of British ships is of course admittedly serious, while the loss in officers and men has cast a gloom over the whole country.

regarding the value of the battle cruis- CTS in the battle just fought.
 Navy Officers Silent.
 While it appears to be almost the here that the British navy has sus- tained a severe defeat that will seri- ousIy affect it's prestige. and spirit, the information thus far received regard ing the battle does not give enough facts and circumstances to enable. ex- perts to form any effective opinion as to the value of battle cruisers, and whether the destruction of the vessels is to be regarded as a warning against the construction of vessels of type for the United States navy. The experts want to know whether these vessels were sunk by gun-fire, torpedoes, mines or Zeppelin attacks; whether they were sunk near or far from the coast, and the exact circumstances of the battle. F
 So far as facts were covered by press dispatches received here navy officers, unwilling to talk for publica- tion, are not inclined to the opinion that the loss of the British battle cruisers should be regarded as upset ting their arguments in favor of the construction of these vessels, which are intended primarily for service on the high seas where battles can be fought between vessels of extended radius of action.

England Is Mourning
 Loss of Queen Mary,
 /. Show Ship of Fleet

London, Friday (Delayed)- Careful comparison of the British and Ger man reports of the sea fight off the Danish coast seem to indicate that Vtee-AdmiraI Sir David Beattys crui- ser squadron came in contact with the German main fleet or possibly, in the first instance, a portion of that force.
 Although aware that he was oppOs- ing a stronger force than his own, official statements make it appear, na- val observers say, that Vice-AdmiraI Beatty courageously engaged the Ger mans. Later, presumably the whole German fleet appeared on the scene. Vice-Admira1 Beatty was then com pletely outnumbered- and before Ad- rnira1 Jellicoe's main fleet was able to get into action the Germans made off.
 The greatest regret is felt here over the loss of the battle cruiser Queen Mary, which was one of the show ships of the British navy. She was only completed at Jarow in 1913- Her crew

London, June 3+Rear-AdmiraI Horace Hood probably lost his life when the battle cruiser Invincible was sunk in the Jutland battle, Ac- cording to the Times Admiral Hood was flying his flag on the InvincibIe as second in the battle cruiser squad ron.

 "At 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon I saw a great fleet of 50 ships Of diff ferent kinds approaching, cruising from the south to the northeast Two hours later another great fleet evil dect;y British, appeared suddenly from the northeast and obviously at tempted to cut off the first At Ais D. m. the first shot came from about ] two miles away Fifteen minutes later there were more shots and in a few minutes there was constant and 1 heavy firing.

 GERMAN VESSEL

Ymuiden, Holland, June s-Three officers three petty officers and 2 saiI-- ors of the crew of the new small German cruiser Elbing, which was lost in the Jutland battle, have been landed here.

CRITICISM.-In your leading ed
itorial of Feb. 10 you make this state
ment: 81 don't know anybody who
honestly demands that+all laws be en-
forced because l don't know of any
body who at some time in his life
hasn't violated some law"
l am forced to take issue with you
in this statement because | think that
a man may violate some law and yet
honestly desire and demand that all
laws be enforced.
l readily admit in answer to your
question that do not religiously obey
all laws because l do not know all
the laws on the statute books, yet l
honestly believe that all laws should
be enforced because l think that the
failure to enforce laws by the con-
stituted authorities of this city and
others is the cause of nearly all the
troubles that aff1ict this community.
Law is a rule of action prescribed
by authority. The people of this
state and city have given the legis-
lature and the council respectively
the right to prescribe the rules of &C
ton which every one is to follow.
If we all do our best to follow the
prescribed rules we shall have very
little conflict with the authority and
very little conflict with each other. If,
on the other hand, a person declines
to obey some law because he consid-
ers it fool law he is sure sooner or
later to be in conflict with some 9TH
er person who wishes to have that
particular law enforced because he
thinks it is not fool law.
1t is generally agreed by students
of the government that the best way
to kill fool law by repeal is to en-
force that law impartially.

constitutional lawyers of this coun-
try, declared that obedience to law is

JINGOES.-T Thu

JINGOES.-The jingoes of this
country are bowling for enforced mil
itary service to safeguard us against
war. They argue that the only way
to foster the spirit of peace and to
promote good will toward all men is
to prepare for war.
Such reasoning is equal to argu-
ing that an organism in order to live
must cease functioning. For mill
taEism of the most primitive sort to
be resorted to is simply developing
an organization whose function shall
be to fight and prove its right to exist
ence.
So soon as young men enter the
army their minds unconsciously con-
centrate upon military exploits and
the passion for war begins to mani
fest itself. You cannot safeguard
peace by the cultivation of the psy-
chology of war. The spokesman for
preparedness argue that anti-mili-
tarists are idealists who will never
realize their dream and urge us to
become practical
Are patriots not idealists of a GER
tain kind? Surely they are. They
