ADMIRALTY IS RAPED
 FOR DEFEAT OF FLEET
Says British Commanders Knew Nothing of the
 Enemy's Movements.

London, June 3, 3:23 a. m.-The British admiralty's account of the Jut- land battle is sharply criticised by the Daily Mail which says:
 "The public will be somewhat sur prised by the lone British report which purports to give account of the battle. After relating our losses it becoues curiously vague and con- tains what we never were accustomed to see in British naval reports, namely excuses.
 We are told for example that the enemy's battle fleet, aided by low ad- visibility, avoided a prolonged action with our main forces. The fact ap- pears, however, from this involved and obscure narrative, that the enemy engaged part of our fleet with his whole strength and delivered a vio- lent blow before our battleships wera able to come into action.
 How far our lack of airsh1ps con- trlbuted to this result we are not in formed. But the world is perfectly aware that British admirals work un- uer a tremendous handicap because they dO not know the movements and dispositions of the enemy while he knows thelrS. Our safety at sea mav well be bound up with the solution of the air problem"

SENT BULLETS BY MAIL

New Haven, June 3.-M. Obrado- witch, chief inspector of munitions of war for the Serbian government which are being made here, was taken to Hartford today to be presented before Judge Thomas of the federal court charged with having tried to send loaded cartridges through the mail these being nOn-m -mailable. ObradO- witch was brought here from Bridge port last night and held for a hearing in court by United States Commission CT Wright.
 The explanation of the defendant IS that he wanted to send some cart ridge samples to another inspector in a munitions plant in Alton, H., and he presented a package at the post office to be forwarded by parcel post. Obradovitch said he was unable to describe the contents and the postal clerk opened the package because of it's heaviness. The complaint against the Serbian officer followed.

 Charles Mellen called at the office of the Herald last evening and said the story appearing in yesterdays is- sue regarding his leaving town was not true. He also asserted he was under the impression that an automo- bile miX-up between him and Nun roe w. Crane had been settled when he called at the secretary's office and explained the matter. short time ago MT. Crane informed the secretary of state that his machine had narrow ly escaped an accident with a car marked with the dealers license of A. G. Cohen of this city in Berlin. Mr. Cohen was notified to have the driver of the machine appear before the secretary. The hearing was set for Thursday and MT. Mellen did not appear. Hence, the story.
 This morning at the secretary of states office, it was said that Mr. Mel len called there Monday to give his version of the mix-up. He said he would be unable to appear at the hearing, which was set for Tuesday afternoon. The secretary said he would hear the case Thursday, but Mr. Mellen did not appear. Mr. Cohen was called on the telephone and in formed his questioner that Mr. Mellen was no longer in his employ. Secre- tary Burns then took the testimony of MT. Crane. Monday, MT. Mellen in formed one of the clerks that MT. Crane had crowded him off the road.
