GREATEST SEA FIGHT

A British officer from one Of the de-
stroyers gives the following graphic
account of the Jutland battle:
THE ships of the grand fleet went
into action, as If they were going into
maneuvers. From every yard-arm
the white ensign flew, the flag which
is to the sailor as the tattered colors
were in days Of old to a hard pressed
regiment. That it went hard with the
battle cruisers IS apparent, but one
ship cannot fight a dozen. They had
fought great fight, a fight to be
proud of, fight which will live lon
ger than many victory.
FOUGHT CLOSE TO THE FOE.
1--WE fought close into the foe and
If anything is certain in the uncertain
ties of naval battle, it is that we gave
at least as good as we got. We pass
ed along the line of the German ships
some miles away and let off broad
side after broadside. The air was
heavy with masses of smoke, black,
yellow, green and every other color
which drifted slowly between the op-
posing lines hiding sometimes friends
and sometimes foe. The enemy ships
were firing very fast, but watching
the ships in front, one came to the
conclusion that the shooting was de-
cidedly erratic. Again and again SAL
vos Of shells fel! far short Of the mark
to be followed Immediately by others
which screamed past high in the air.
81 watched the Iron Duke swinging
through the seas letting off broadside
after broadside, wicked tongues Of
flame leaping through clouds ofsmoke.
The din of battle was stunning, stu
penduous, deafening, as hundreds of
the heaviest guns in the world roared
at once. Great masses of water rose
in the air like waterspouts, reaching
as high as the masts as the salvos of
German shells fell short or went over
the target. Now and then a shell
found its mark, but it left me abso-
lutely cold as is its effect on each man
at time like this. A dozen men may
be knocked out at ones side. Itmakes
no difference 1t was impossible to see
what was happening among the ships
of the foe.

Latest Proposal.

Appointment of an international
commission to settle all questions in
dispute between the United States
and Mexico is being considered by the
United States. Authority for such a
step is given under the treaty of l84S.
Coming down from bygone years are
unsettled questions as to certain por-
tons of the international boundary.
Out of the Vera Cruz incident arose
new problems which must be cleared
up sooner or later, including DISPOSE
ton of the customs revenues collect
ed by Gen. Funston, amounting to
more than 100000 and now de-
posted in this country. There are
also claims for property damage at
Vera Cruz, long pigeonholed in the
Navy Department. Most far-reaching
Of all, however, is the question OF in
Identification for American lives lost
and American property destroyed or
damaged during the years OF revolu-
ton in Mexico.

later that the same policeman found
Naybur leaning against the same POLE

DESTROYERS' DEADLY WORK.

with the dusk came the great OPP
portunity of the mosquito craft and
both sides made use of it to the full.
II was in this way that one OF the sad
.dest of many sad Incidents occurred.
A destroyer, true TO its name, dashed
for the big enemy ship. She soon got
into effective range and loosed her
torpedoes with deadly effect on a
German battleship. The ship went
down and the destroyer raced for
safety, the commander and officer
standing on the bridge, INDUCING in
mutual congratulations at their sue
cess. AT that moment a shell hit the
bridge and wiped out the entire
group.
1T was curious to note the effect OF
the fight on the sea. Calm at the be-
ginning, the water soon looked as if il
were under the influence Of a gale, SO
great was the turmoil caused by the
leviathan ships blowing at terrific
speed through the waves. The sea also
seemed to be stiff with fish killed by
the shells bursting inthe water.
SAILORS DESCRIBE LOSSES.
German sailors, rescued by Scandal
navian steamers described the leu
tonic losses in the battle as colossal,
according to a Copenhagen dispatch
to the telegraph Exchange Company.
A large number of the crew of the
cruiser Wiesbaden and men from sew
eral German torpedo boats have been
rescued and brought to Copenhagen.

They report that many Of their COM
rades after floating SO hours on RATS
without food or water, drank the sea
water, became insane and jumped
into the ocean.
The German survivors say that sew
eral of their torpedo boats and subma-
rines were capsized by the British
shells and sank Immediately. Bodies
OF both British and German sailors are
beginning to be washed ashore on the
coas. OF Jutland.
1888 OFFICERS ARE LOST.
A total of 1888 British officers were
killed in the Jutland battle, according
to a list issued by the Admiralty to-
day. This list shows that practically
all the officers of the cruisers Queen
Mary, Invincible, Indefatigable, De-
Tense and Black Prince and from the
destroyers Tipperary, Turbulent,
Fortune, Ardent, Nomad, Nestor and
Shark persisted. All the officers, ex-
cept one, from the cruiser Warrior
were saved and all the officers from
the destroyer Sparrowhawk. On the
other ships % officers were killed and
% wounded.
Survivors of the British cruiser
Warrior who were landed at Devon
port say that the Warrior and the
cruiser Defense steamed between two
lines OF German warships with the
result that within few minutes the
Defense was blown into the air and
the Warrior badly riddled. A storm
of German shells exploding on the
decks of the Warrior almost suffocat-
ed the crew with their gases.
When the Germans were at length
driven off by the British REINFORCE
ments the pumps were manned on the
battered and sinking ship and sue
ceeded in keeping her afloat until an
auxiliary ship came alongside and
took off the wounded. The auxiliary
took the Warrior in tow for 4S hours,
when she foundered.
One of the officers of the Warrior
told the order in which the British
ships were lost. He said that the Lion,
Admiral Sir David Beatty's famous
flagship, led the battle cruisers into
action and withstood terrific bonn
bardment. The Invincible was the
first to go down, followed closely by
the interchangeable and a few minutes
later by the Queen Mary.
/ Is GERMAN SHIPS SUNK.
9 The British Admiralty has issued a
statement saying there is the strong
est grounds for the belief that the
British navy in the battle with the
Germans off Jutland last week had
accounted for total of is German
men of war, and that there was moth
ing to add to or substract from the
original announcement OF the British
losses. The statement gave the Ger
man losses as two battleshipS, two
dreadnought battle cruisers, four
light cruisers, nine torpedoboat de-
stroyers and a submarine.
The pessimism which prevailed as a
result of the Admiralty'S original
statement of losses, which now is con-
sidered to have been needlessly can
did and conservative in underestimate
ing the extent of the German losses as
compared with those of Great Britain
has been greatly lessened by the lat
est statement

HOW FIRST FRENCHMAN
 DIED IN PRESENT WAR

Paris, Jan. 1.-How Corporal Peu- got, the first Frenchman to die in the var, was shot by German officer at Joncherey August 2, 1914 was re- vealed today by the Lausanne Gazette. It will be recalled that in order to avoid any incident which might com rlicate the diplomatic negotiations, the French government instructed the troops 70 maintain neutral zone of ten kilometers between the iron tiers.
 In compliance with this order the frontier guards were withdrawn from the villages of Rechesy, Suarce ard Courtevelant. Corporal Peugot, who was a schoolmaster was ordered ,c patrol with four men the road leading from Joncherey to Faverois. The village of Joncherey itself is situated two kilometers from Delle. | On August 2, 1914, Corporal Peugot and his men established themselves in the home of citizen of Docourv and a sentinel was placed on guard at the road, although no one believed I that the German patrols would pene- | t.ate that distance, more than twelva kilometers, into French territory. ln- | asmuch as war had not yet been de- c:arsd. The sentinel was suddenly hailed by men in passing automo- i :le, who informed him that patrol es German chasseurs had passed the
 Frontier and were coming toward Faverois.
 The sentinel quickly notified Corporal Peugot, who, however,
 reached the read too late, as the Ger
 man soldiers were in front of the
 house when inc came out. The cor
 poral went straight up to Lieut.
 Mayer of the Fifth Regiment of Ger man chasseurs stationed at Mulhau' sen, but before he had uttered one
 word German officer fired his re-
 yolver, point blank, at the corporal
 1ho fell to the ground, fatally
 wounded. He had. however, suffl-
 cient strength left to seize his rifle
 ard empty the charge ac his SssaIl'
 ant. who fell from his horse. Peu' geot died immediately thereafter.

PLANS TO CULTIVATE CROPS ON RIGHT -OF-WAY
Cctton Belt Immigration Commis- siOner Would Accomplish Two. Fold Purpose by Unique
 Plan.

Little Rock, Jan. 1.-Col. w. V Powell, recently appointed industrial and immigration commissioner Of the Cotton Belt railway, is endeavoring to work out plans by which all avail able portions of the right of way of that railroad through the state be placei in cultivation.
 The object for such an action is to improve the appearance of the right oi way, getting rid of weeds and usi- sghtly places, and to demonstrate to the people travelling through the state on that railroad, what can be raised in Arkansas.
 There is law in Arkansas which eeuires the railroads to drain their rights of way, but the fact that si; does not permit the railroads to con demn land for ditching, prevents the enforcement of the act. Col Powell favors the amendment of this law tc permit the railroads to dig ditches that will drain the railroad property lie stating that such action will pre- vent thousands of dollars of damage Ito the railroads through bad track at the same time it will permit ths farmers through whose land the diSches will pass. to improve theii cwn property through connection ', ith the ditches. Such law as this would deprive every railroad o1 standing water along the tracks.
