London, June 3.-Developments to-
day clearly showed that the entire Bri.
tish and German high seas fleets were
engaged on Wednesday in the greatest
naval battle in the history Of the
world.
Sir John Jellicoe, in supreme com
mand of the British naval forces, di-
reeted the English fight with Vice Adj
miral Scheer Germany's supreme power
on the seas, heading the kaiser's ar
mada.
Against more thain 10 British ships
which were sent to the bottom, German
losses were hardly half as large, but
Britons found satisfaction today when
it was learned that Jellicoe and his
dreadnaughts had faced the enemy, that
not ship Of the first powerful line
was lost and that the German dread
naughts were forced to return to their
base.
1t is now estimated that more than
5000 British officers and men went
down with their ships. Rear-Admirals
Hood and Arbuthnot were lost.
Rear.Admiral Beatty, hero Of the
fight which resulted in the sinking Of
the Blueeher, was the first British
commander in action, and was all but
trapped by the Germans His cruiser
squadron, endeavored to cut off what
appeared TO be only a German cruiser
fleet, from its base. But lurking be-
hind the cruisers and low hanging mists
was the German battle fleet Of dread
naughts and super-dreadnaughts.

MEREDITH TO WIN
THINKS CONNOLLY
Former Congressman Calls on
All Democrats for Support
SAYS VICTORY IS IN SIGHT
Says He is "for Meredith Every Hour
Of the Day" and That Victory at the
Polls is Near.

Hon. Maurice Connolly, of Dubuque
former congressman, the man who de-
feated Meredith for the senatorial
nomination two years ago, has writ
ten a letter to State Chairman j. W.
Reynolds calling upon all Iowa Demo
Gratis to give Meredith loyal and solid
support, which will insure his cleo
ton as governor.
The letter, which was given out by
Chairman Reynolds, will have much
weight in the ranks Of Iowa Democ-
racy. 1t is as follows:
my Dear Doctor Reynolds:
with the newspapers filled with
claims that w. l.. Harding expects to
be elected governor of Iowa by the
votes of Democrats, now that his own
Republican party is shattered by the
greatest detection in any party In
many years, it appears proper for me
to write to you and urge all Democrats
to stand by their nominee for COVER
nor, E. T. Meredith, and insure his
election, now within their grasp.
mr. Meredith, the unanimous NOM
inee Of the party, is successful bust
ness man, man or character ana
standing, who would fill the COVER
nor's chair with honor to the state.
"The recent primary contest for the
senatorial nomination has left no sore
spots in the Democratic party. Tile
ranks are united today as never be-
fore.
"The vital issues Of the campaign
are being presented by Mr.. Meredith
with energy and vigor and | am anxi-
GUS to give all the time l possibly can
to supporting him and insuring his
election. The Democratic Organiza-
ton is strong and energetic and, with
the detection reported among the Re
publicans, the prospect for success
this year is especially roseate. BY
team work in our own party we should
be able to translate this prospect into
victorious realization.
II am for Meredith every hour Of
the day, and l sincerely trust that he
will have the loyal and solid support
of the Democracy of Iowa.
Most Sincerely,
(Signed) Maurice Connolly"
