SEASUPREMACY0F
BRITAIN BROKEN?

Berlin, (via London, June 7)-In
the account of the emperor's speech to
the sailors of the feet at Wilhelm
shaven yesterday, which was publish
ed here today, the emperor is quoted as
saying that the great naval battle off
Jutland has destroyed Great Britain S
supremacy on the sea.
In praising the sailors the emperor
said:
Il. standing here today as your su-
preme war lord, thank you from the
bottom of my heart As the represent
ative Of the fatherland l thank you
and in the name of my army | bring
you its greetings because you have
done your duty unselfshly and only
with the one thought that the enemy
must be beaten.
AT a time when the enemy is slow
ly being crushed before Verdun and
when our allies have driven the Ital-
ians from mountain to mountain you
add new glories to our cause.
The world was prepared for every
thing but not for the victory of the
German feet over the English. The
start which you have made will cause
fear to creep into the bones of the
enemy. What you have done you did
for the fatherland, that in the future
it may have freedom of the seas for
its commerce. Therefore l ask you to
join me in three cheers for our dearly
beloved fatherland."

he met death. | could conceive of no
good coming from such man"
DR.. krishna believes in India for
Indians" which is the motto OF the
party with which he is affiliated. He
knew Kitchener only as the vigorous
upholder of the sovereignty Of Great
Britain. He hopes that one of the re-
suits of the war will be the freeing of
