regrets except for the gallant lives lost,
for the pals that have gone and who died gio-
riously. It would have warmed your heart
to have seen how the gallant Hood brought
his squadron into action. Would to God he
had been more successful in the general result.
We will be ready for them next time. Please
God it will come soon. The battle cruiser
feet is alive and has a very big kick in her..
Berlin, June 5th.-An authoritative ac-
count of the North Sea battle which was is
sued here to-day gives the first detailed pic
ture of the naval engagement. Many details
are suppressed for strategic reasons This
account declares explicitly that rs of Admi-
raj Jellicoe's most powerful battleships, in
GLIDING six of the most modern Queen Eliza
beth class, and the eutire British flying wing
composed of the battle cruisers equally
equipped in every respect except armour
protection to d~readnoughts, were engaged in
all but the early stage of the day. For OBJ
vious reasons the recital leaves untold the
tale of damages sustained by German
units and the losses in personnel. 1t
is shown that the Germans on this occasion
unlike the Dogger Bank engagement OF
cruiser squadrons were able to choose
their distance and fight considerable por-
tons of the buttle at ranges OF about
eight miles now ranked as q moderate dis
lance at which the German eleven and
twelve inch guns were virtually as etfec-
tive in penetrating power as the big
mouthed Is, IA and Is inch with which
the modern British giants are armed. Fur
Their they are far superior in rapidly OF fire.
London,Jun 7th-The British Army went
into mourning to-day for its late chief.
Every officer wore a band of crepe on his
lett arm. Throughout the country flags
were half mast. From Allies and neutral
countries, the Dominions, Colonies and De-
pc ndencies came a flood of cablegrams ex~
pressing sympathy. 10 the Doninions in
cludiDg South Africa, legislatures adjourned
as a mark of respect for the dead leader.
The news was received in the South Afri-
can Assembly during the discussion of
the estimates. The Premier, Mr.. Botha,
who was deeply affected, made an imme-
date announcement and moved adjourn
ment. while the members Dutch and Brit
ish remained standing as a tribute TO the
man who won the Dominion for Great Brl-
tain against the forces in which many Of the
legislators fought.
London. June 6th--Newspapers and
many commercial organizations have taken up
the demand for internment of all aliens from
enemy nations on the ground that the Ger
mans nay have been advised from England
of Earl Kitchener's departure and such
have been responsible Tor the destruction
of the Hampshire.
New York, June 7th,-The morning news
papers publish columns on the tragic death
of Earl Kitchener. Sketches of his career,
eulogies of his achievements and ex-
pressiops of sorrow at his death. All
agree that the passing of Kitchener is a
great loss to Britain and her Allies, but, as
the Herald puts il, the vast machine he Great
ed exists ready to continue the pressure nee
essary to bring about the end desired. This
great soldiers greatest work was long since
done. The Tribune says no man ever died
with fame more secure, and the Sun declares
his name will be inscribed upon the roll of
highlands most eminent men. The World
says "Kitchener called his country 10 arms.
He warnedit that the war would not be brief.
He forged for it mighty weapons of flesh,
blood and spirit. Other men must now
WELD those weapons. If there is amorg
them one greater than he there is as yet no
sign of his genius" Mr.. Joseph W. Choate,
at one time United States Ambassador to
Great Britain, characterized the death of
Lord Kitchener and his Staff as q 'frightful
