THEMISTOCLES

When Themistocles was asked by his host at a dinner party to enter tain the guests by playing the !1.s, he replied that he could not play the fiddle, but that he could make 6 ...-ll town a great city. We have in ::;s nation many politicians who are good "fiddlers," but they cannot make a small town great city. We are over run with orators who can play upon the passions of the people. but they cant put brick and mortar together We need builders.
 Let those who hunger and thirst for power understand that the highest glory of statesman is to construct, and that it is better for man that he should build a public highway than that he should become Governor of state, and that he start blow than that he become the author of law. The true test of statesmanship is the blow and the hammer. so let those wEo would gC

BOTH CLAIM
 SEA VICTORY
Germany First Appeared Winner-On Later Reports Britain Also Claims
 It-Heavy Losses.

London, June 4-The British Admiralty tonight issued a state ment saying there is strong ground for the belief that the British navy in the battle wi h the Germans off Jutland last week ac- counted for a total of IS German men of war and that there is noth ing to add or substract from the original announcement of the B.i- tish losscs.
 The statement gave the German losses as two battleships, two dread nought battle cruisers four light cruisers, nine torpedo boat destroyers and a submarine.
 The pessimi m which prevailed as result of the Admiralty's ori- ginal sta ement estimating the ex- tent of the German losses, as con- pared with those of Great Britian has been greatly lessened by the latest announcement.
 Additional Losses Rumored.
 A dispatch from Copenhagen says rumors are current in Ham, burg that two additional German warships. other than these an- nounced in the German communi- cation-the battleship Wastfalen and the battle cru's Lutzow- were shnk in the battle. A wire less dispatched here Sunday from Berlin said the German Admiral ty admitted the loss of the Vest ialen.
 The Admiralty statement tonight cec;aIes that the German losses in :he fight were rot only re,a i've ly, but ab ~olutely greater than those of the British. Ma ntaining it's practice of caution, the Admir- alty still refrains from giving the names of the los :; German ships.

GRADUATING
 EXERCISES
Friday Night Marked Close Of Schooi; Dr. Virgil l.. Jones Delivered
 an Address.

The graduating exercise Ill WHICH four graduates received their diplomas w,s held Friday night, and was the last exercise attending commence rent week. The exercise of the even- ing was opened by piano solo oy Mrs Mayo Robertson followed immed- iately by the march and the graduat- ing class, and the grammar grade pup ills heinz promoted into the high school. preceded by four little flower girls. came down the aisle. An appro- ,y;ate and earnest invocation was snoken by Rev. w. T. Sullivan. The graduating class, Harry Coats, John Andrew Wood, Miss Louise Coats and Miss Rosa Hall, were seated near the front of the stage and to the rlght The grammar grades occupied seats at the rear of the stage.
 John Andrew Wood read the class history. It was a history Of each ,,..mher of the class, concise, well vcrded and we'll read. Harry Coats followed with the class prophecy. lie tcok a look into the future on the wings of fancy and pictured very in tcreetingly the future of each Of his classmates. He would up as plctur- ing himself selling Scotch Snuff. Miss Louise Coats gave piano solo Miss Louise is an accomplished musician, and her rendition on this occasion quite surpassed any of her public per formances of the past. She has an air of grace at the instrument together with her perfect touch, which greatly enhanced her work. Miss Rosa Hall on account of her position as head of the class read the valedictory. The subject of her paper was, Be yond the Alps Lies Italy" The paper was a literary gem, showing remark < able talent in diction and thought. She read with a most charming de, livery which did full justice to the most excellent theme. One of the musical number was rendered by Miss Gladys Russell in a most charming manner.
 Prof. D. P. Holmes as master Of ceremonies introduced Dr. Virgil IL. .jones, who was to make the address to the graduates. Dr. Jones occupies the chair as professor of English in the University of Arkansas. His sub ;ect was Opportunity" His subject was handled in most practical man. Ter. He proved that the day of op- por:unity had not passed with the pio- neers of the past. the day when our forests were vast and uncleared, when vher our acres were broad and un- touched when man of necessity must oe jack of all trades. He said that this was day of specialists. We were pioneering in new era and i'll a new way. A man to be farmer must be specialist to conserve and improve the soil for the generations that are to come after. He pointed out the unexplored and the open op- porsunities on every hand.
 Prof. Holmes made an appropriate address to the graduates and then de- livered the diplomas He also an- nounced the names of all those who had been promoted from the grammar grades to the first year of high school. He read the names of the honor pupils in all grades, some of which were most remarkable.

NO SURPRISES SPRUNG !N GREATEST NAVAL BATTLE.

London, June 3-By the courtesy ot the Admiralty l am able to give some details of the great naval battle. It is perhaps advisable to give the condi- tions under which the first dismal news was sent out by the admiralty.
 Discussing the unfortunate phase a high Admiralty official said to me to- day:
 "It would have been quite correct for us to have sent out on June l a report to the effect that portion of German fleet and driven it back to port"
 Why this was not done at least, 70 have broken even with Germany in the hurry to be the first in the neutral field with the news, is not quite clear The truth is that this much, but no more, was known to the British Ad- miralty on Thursday. However it was decided to wait until fuller details l l traying no confidence when I state nothing further was received by the Admiralty until Friday afternoon, by which time Admiral Jelicoe had re- urned to port.
 Outstanding Facts.
 The following facts stand out among the mass of detail concerning the fight that is Altering in to the Admiralty:
 ]. There were no surprises.
 7. The mythical German 17-inch guns. about which so much has been written did not materialize.
 3. The German loss of life was very heavy.
 1. The Zeppelins were conspicuous by their absence.
 5. The greatest loss of life was caus- ed by gun fire
 6. The engagement was fought at distance of between 10 900 and 12,000 yards.
 British Losses As Stated.
 This brought up the question of loss> es and have the solemn word of the Admiralty that the British losses are exactly as stated, namely three battle cruisers, three armored cruisers, and eight destroyers. The German report of the sinking of the Warspirite, Mari borough and Alcaster is absolutely un true, all being safely in port. And as additional confirmation, if any is need ed, arrangements are being made for correspondents to visit the vessel at an early date.
 The German Losses.
 With regard to the German losses a different story has to be told, for the Admiralty has conclusive information showing that two battleships, two bat tie cruisers, four light cruisers, six de- stroyers and at least one submarine were sunk. The Germans have tardily admitted the loss of the Westphalen, dreadnought belonging to the Nassau class, but there is mystery concerning the identity of the Pommern. The Ad- miralty states that this predread- nought was accounted for some months ago. so it is believed that the Pommern admittedly sunk is new dreadnought christened with the old name, an ingenious device not un-

CHIEF WATTS TO FILE CHARGES
AGAINST FUNKHoUSER
Chief of Police Healey will not file
charges of "disobedience to orders"
against Second Deputy FunkhOUser
until the. latter replies to a request
from the chief for information of
whether moving picture "cut outs"
were exhibited by FunkhOuser be-
fore various clubs and civic societies.
FunkhOUser was given verbal or
ders, according to the chief, not to
exhibit the "cutouts" anywhere. He
is said to have violated this order,
which came through Healey from
Mayor Thompson. The mayor says
that anything too bad for the general
public to see is too bad for reform
ers to look at. The movie censorship
is under FUnkhOuser's direction.
Some time ago Chief HeaIey ex-
hibited to Rev. John P Brushing
hams congregation a string of film
that was studded with Standings and
hot stuff.
Yesterday the Post had story
that Deputy Morals Inspector Frank
Hanna was to be discharged tomor-
row. Capt. Coffin, chairman of the
civil service commission, denied his
body had even finished writing up
the Hanna evidence, and said there
was nothing to the report.
