Thinks British Claim to
Sea Mastery Is
Broken
ALL GERMANY
CELEBRATES
Kaiser Hurries to Will
helmshaven to Con-
gratulate His Fleet

BERLIN, June 3.--England's claim
to the mastery of the sea is broken.
This is the German view resulting
from the victory OF the feet OF Vice
Admiral Scheer, which has given
the kaiser's name as brilliant ira
dition as is written on the pages
OF any naval power.
Flags were displayed everywhere
today In celebration Of the long-ex-
pected clash with the British high
seas fleet and the German success.
Schools were dismissed, special SER
vices of celebration and thanksgiv-
ing were called. and Germany was
aroused as at no time since the
kaiser's army was drawing near
Paris early In the war.
Although no oficial expression
was obtainable II was evident that
the sea victory Is regarded here as
another step toward possible
early peace. Defeat OF the British
fleet the first time It felt Germany's
naval power. the fact that German
territory Is clear of the enemy;
that Belgium and northern France
Are successfully held. while the
French and British lines have re-
mained stationary for the past year.
and the crown prince is hammering
at the gates Of verdun-these points
were cited as answers to the allied
demands that Germany be crushed
The kaiser Is expected to hurry
direct to wilhelmshaven. where he
will inspect the returning victorious
fleet, and personally congratulate
and decorate Admiral Scheer and
his men.
wild scenes Of exultation marked
the session OF the reichstag IN
which the German victory was an
nounced. Immediately the news be-
came generally known, flags up
peared from every window. Re-
ports OF the successful engagement
were flashed to the front over the
military lines to the men IN the
trenches. Today messages OF con-
graduation to the navy from COM
manders OF the kaiser's land forces
were being relayed rapidly through
the war office and the admiralty.

TURKEY HOLDS AMERICANS,
DESPITE EARLY PROMISES
Says military Necessity" Will Pre-,
vent Their Leaving Empire
Via Jaffa.

Word has reached the State Depart
ment that the Turkish government has
rescinded it's previous agreement to al
low several hundred Americans to leave
the Turkish empire via Jaffa. Ambas-
sador Elkus says he was informed that
the Americans cannot be permitted to
depart because of military necessity.
and that the official who made the
pervious agreement spoke without au-
thority.
Diplomacy seems to have been ex-
hausted in the situation. and 1t is not
known what further action may be
taken
The exact number of persons affect
ed cannot be learned. owing to the fact
that direct communication with shore
is not permitted. Nor is it known what
is the proportion of native Americans
to those who have taken out first pa
pers or become fully naturalized. Many
are said to be Syrians and Armenfans,
though number of native American
missionaries are known to be included.
