 The Admiralty statement says:
 Reports from our lookout squad rons and other units showed that there was considerable activity on the part of the enemy in the North sea.
 The German high seas fleet came out, but learning from their scouts that the British forces were in con- siderable strength, the enemy avoided an engagement and returned to port.
 "In searching for the enemy we lost two cruisers by submarine at tacks-H. M. S. Nottingham, Captain c. B. Miller, and H. M. s. Falmouth Captain John Edwards.
 All the officers of the former were saved, but 3S of the crew are missing. All the officers and men of the Fal- mouth were saved, but one leading 5toker, Norman Fry, died of injuries.

REMAINING TROOPS
 TO STAY IN CAMP
ORDERS SENDING THEM TO THE BORDER HAS BEEN SUSPEND
 ED BY WAR DEPARTMENT.

Washington.-Orders for the re-
 maining mobilized units of the nation
 al guard to proceed to the border
 have been suspended by the War De-
 partment. No official explanation has
 been made, but it is known that the delicacy of the railroad stri6s situa-
 tion has been the moving considerel.
 ton.
 The suspension of the orders to the troops, which would have moved some
 25,000 men to the border should not
 be taken as an indication that the presidents negotiations with the rail road brotherhood and the railroad managers have taken an unfavorable turn, but is a measure of caution. It was considered highly undesirable that all the remaining guardsmen should be moved to the border while there was possibility of railroad strike in which they might Be called upon to preserve order throughout some of the states. There is even the possibility that some of the troops, in the event of a strike, might Dc called upon to guard or operate mail trains and trains supplying the troops already on the border.
 The suspension of the orders pre- vents the immediate movement of the troops from Kentucky, Ohio and Yer mont, and the movement of all other mobilized units which were to have | gone forward as soon as they were | equipped. Some of the Kentucky, | Ohio and Vermont troops were about ready to go to the border.
 It is clear that the suspension is not a revocation of the orders, and that if the railroad strike situation clears up the troops will be moved to he border line.
