JUSTICE MAKES FIRST PUBLIC
ADDRESS SINCE OPENING OF
PRE-cONVENTlON CAMPAIGN
SPEAKS TO GRADUATES.
SYMBOL OF NATIONAL UNITY
AND UNDIVIDED ALLEGIANCE
"Old Glory" Means America United,
Strong and Efficient, Equal to Her
Tasks-Not a Thread In II But
Scorns Seif-Indulgen nee, Weak
nes and Rapacity, He Says.

Washington, June Tn the seclu-
lawn, where he was presenting an
American flag to the honor of gradu-
ates, Justice Charles r. Hughes made
his first public address since the open
ing of the pre-convention campaign.
He told the young women that the flag
les America first, an undivided al
legiance and a nation equal to its
tasks.
Symbol Of National Unity.
This flag means more than asso-
citation and reward" said the justice.
1T Is the symbol of our national unity,
national e%ndeavor, of our national as
piration. 1t tells you of the struggle
for independence, for union preserved,
of liberty and of union one and insep-
arabic, of the sacrifices of brave men
and women to whom the ideals and
honor of this nation have been dearer
than life.
Flag Means America First.
1T means America first; it means
In undivided allegiance. It means
America united, strong and efficient.
equal to her tasks. 1t means that you
cannot be saved by the valor and de-
votion Of your ancestors; that to each
generation comes its patriotic duty
and that upon your willingness to sac
rifice and endure, as those before you
have sacrificed and endured, rests the
national hone.
Scorns Self-induIgence.
ut speaks of equal rights. of the
inspiration of free institutions exem-
plified and vindicated: of liberty un-
der law intelligently conceived and
impartially administered. There is
not a thread in 1t but scorns self-in-
diligence, weakness and ~rapacity. 1t
Is eloquent of our common interests,
o~utweighing all Emergencies of opin-
ion; and of our common destiny.
Given as q prize to those who have
the highest standing, IT happily en-
forces the lesson that intelligence and
zeal must go together; that discipline
must accompany emotion and that we
must rely upon enlightened opinion"

VICTORY CLAIMED BY GERMANS
DETAILED PICTURE OF NORTH
SEA BATTLE GIVEN.
Meets Clearly What Is Characterized
as British Attempt to Explain
Defeat, Berlin Says.

Berlin, June 6.-hn authoritative &C
count of the North sea battle issued
here gives the first detailed picture of
the great engagement between the
German high sea feet and that OF the
British.
For obvious reasons the recital
leaves untold the tale of damages sus-
tanned by German units and the losses
in personnel.
The recital meets clearly what Is
characterized as the British attempt
to explain defeat by the statement
that the German sea forces In the &C.
ton were much larger than those
which the British were able to bring
into play.
German Fire Very Effective.
The German high seas fleet had
pushed out into the North sea in the
hope OF engaging portions OF the Eng
lish fleet which had recently been re-
peatedly reported off the Norwegian
south coast. At 3:l5 in the afternoon,
some 70 miles off Skagerrack, some
small cruisers of the Calliope class
were sighted. Our cruisers at once
pursued the enemy. which fled north.
ward at highest speed" says a semi
official statement.
After half an hours fighting heavy
enemy reinforcements later observed
to be five vessels of the Queen Eliza
beth class were sighted to the north.
Soon after the German main force en-
tered the fight and the enemy at once
turned north.
The British commander. driving his
ships at full speed, attempted to evade
our extremely effective fire was taking
an echelon formation. Our fleet fol.
lowed ut top speed. In the course of
this period Of the fighting one cruiser
of the Achilles or Shannon class and
two d~estroyers were sunk, while a
number Of other vessels suffered heavy
damage.
Germans Open Night Attack.
The battle against superior forces
lasted until darkness fell. Besides
numerous light detachments at least
rs British hattleships. six battle cruis,
ers and four armored cruisers en-,
gagged Is German battleships. five bat,
tl~ecruisers, six older ships Of the line
and no armored cruisers.
After dark our flotillas opened a
night attack, During this attack sew,
esal cruiser and torpedoboat engage
ments occurred. resulting in the des,
truction OF one ba~ttiecruiser. one
cruiser of the Achilles class. probably
two small cruisers and at least 10 de,
stroyers.
Six of the latter. including the new
destroyer leaders Turbulent and Tip.
perary, were destroyed by the leading
vessel Of our high seas feet.
Great Rritain's claim to victory is
taken as an enormous joke by all Ger
many.
Yes" grinned one official. Great
Britain won an enormous tactical vic
tory. About two more such tactical
victories and the British navy would
be reduced to rowboats."
