SAL Immigrant Cars
Over the G. & N. w.

A bulletin from the state lmmi-
grafton department says: The Da-
kota division of the C. & N. w. rail-
road shows that SAL immigrant cars
from outside the state we're received
from Jan. l to May l.
The census shows that the num-
Der of farms in South Dakota in
creased from 77.644 in 1910 to 101,-
224 in 1915. The state gain of
births over deaths for 1915 was
5000.
The Commissioner of immigration
states that the reason of North
Dakota's great gam in population is
because of land grants to railroads
which the south state did not have,
and more advertising. North Da-
kota has expended twice the amount
of money South Dakota has for at
tracing new settlers.

field of study as well as of physical
ability. and the team or individual

GREAT SEA BATTLE
CERMAN-BRITISH
Both Sides Claim 900
British 1000 Germans Lost

The long expected naval battle be-
tween England and Germany occur
ed last week in the North Sea. 1t is
pronounced a great sea fight, but
not decisive.
The first reports brought admitted
defeat from London, on account of
a superior force of German ships
at the start. But now the Bridish
r claiming a tactical victoy, be-
cause the German navy refused to
stay out Of harbor and fight to a
finish, when more Brliish ships
came up to join IN the battle.
On the other hand Germany is
celebrating its claimed victory over
the famous Bridish fleet. They say
that the North sea is the grave OF
more than Is British ships, while
their own squadron is in its home
harbor practically intact.
With these diverse claims going
out from the two countries 1T is diff.
ficult to obtain the exact facts
London admits the loss of Is ships
and 5000 men. Berlin admits the los:
of three ships, six discovers anC
1000 men.
Germany says the spell of Engllst
naval power has been broken
England claims she still rules thu
waves. To the neutral spectator i
looks like Germany slipped one owe
on England when and where leas
expected. However nothing j
altered by this encountre. becaus,
it was not decisive. 1t NAV encour
age Germany or make England
more determined and aggre ssive OIL
the sea.
There is always something spec
tacular about a naval battle which
attracts the instant attention
and interest of the world. In thi
battle perhaps 1000 men lost thei
lives 1t has startled the world
The loss of that many men in a lant
fight scarcely creates a ripple o.
interest, even among the natien
involved.
