Bodies of Both British and German Sailors Being Washed Ashore on Coast of Jutland-Calamitous
 Loss of Officers.

London, June 5.-The hopes of many English families. members of which were on the ships lost in the engagement with the German fleet in Skagerak Wednesday, that some of the men may be rescued. is being slowly crushed by the tales of aw- full blOodshed which have been brought into Copenhagen since the battle But with the departure of hope comes pride in the British navy. increased hourly by the in sistanee of the British admiralty that the German losses were far heavier than the Teutons have ad- mitted, and that they fled the scene of battle when the British dread naughts and super-dreadnaughts ap- peared.
 There seems to be strong ground for the suppOsition that, included in the German losses were two battle ships, two dreadnaughts, battle cruisers of the most powerful type. two light cruisers, the Weisbaden and the Elbing. two other cruisers. the Rosteck and the Froenlaub. nine destroyers and a submarine: Ger many admits only the loss of the battleship POmmern, the light cruis- CTS troenlaub and Elbing, and six destr0yers.
 Sea Covered With Dead.
 Dispatches from COpenhagen re- celVed in London declare that many of the bodies of both the British and German sailors lost in the terrific struggle have been washed ashore of the coast of Jutland. Several sailors from the German cruiser Weisbaden have been rescued by Scandinavian steamers. and several survivors who were members of crews on torpedo boats both German and British. have been picked. They are very few however. Sailors in vessels reaching Copenhagen. which passed through the Skagerak since the battle report that the loss of life must have been nearly total, ac- cording to dispatches received here Shlps arriving in Copenhagen also report that numbers of sailors from both fleets took refuge on rafts when their ships went down, and that they became insane from the tortures oi thirst and starvation after clingine to the rafts for IS hours before be- ing picked up. Some of the sailors thus adrift drank salt water. and stark crazy, fought feebly with their companions on the frail rafts. final ly jumping into the sea in dispair.

 England's Greatest Soldier.
 Earl Kitchener was appointed secretary of state for war in 1914, a few days after Great Britain en- tered the war. He was regarded as England's greatest soldier, and the decision of the government to en- trust him with supreme direction of the war was received with unani- nous approval. As the war pro- gressed and Great Britains defi- ciencies in certain sections. partic- lularly ammunition shortage became apparent, Earl Kitchener was sub jected to severe criticisms, led by Lord Northcliffe. The secretary was charged with failure to foresee the extraordinary demand for heavy shells and as a result the ministry of munitions was formed. with Lloyd George as it's head The Orkney Islands. off which the Hamshire WE; sunk. are off the north coast 6f Scotland The Hamshire was prob ably enroute to Archangel.

She has been used as a scout boat and to take officials on government missions, as she was too old for the fighting line
