DEMOCRATS PLAYED BY REPUBLICANS IN PLATFORM ADOPTED
 BY THE CONVENTION
Pledges Party to Uphold
 American Citizens in Ex- ercise of Rights-Demo- crats Have Not Done So

Chicago, June S.-The republican plat form as prepared by the resolutions com mittee and adopted by the republican convention here today sharply criticizes the democratic administration for it's handling of the foreign affairs of the government and declares for the un- American citizens.
 "The present administration, the doc ument declares, 'has destroyed our in- fluence abroad and humliated us in opr own eyes,
 In regard to Mexico the platform ''de- nounces the indefensible measures of in- terference employed by this govern ment.'
 The democratic party was also criti- cized for it's attitude toward the Philip pines and the party is pledged to con- tinuance of the policy inaugurated by Mckinley.
 The blanks on the tariff and business are reiterations of republican views.
 Of women suffrage the platform de- clares it is a problem for the states to decide
 The platform declares for complete na- tional defense and navy equal to any in the world
 Among other things for which the platform declares are: Regulation of business, rural credits, subsidies for mer- chant marine, exclusive federal contro of the railways, a national budget sys- tenn, civil service reform compensation and child labor laws.

direction, passing through Brantley, Luverne, Andalusia and Brewton.
 The decision to name Pensacola as the southern terminus of the highway was largely induced by the fact that there is at present no road leading into Mobile from Baldwin county. On the other hand, a good highway connects Brewton, Bay Minette and other south Alabama towns with Pensacola
 Baldwin county has given assurances that the road from Bay Minette over into Mobile county will be construct ed within the near future. but 1t is considered improbable that this under taking will be achieved within the next year or two.
 This road, it is declared, will be one of the most difficult to be constructed in Alabama, for it will lead through swamp and delta lands, over creeks and marshes, and will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. In fact. government engineers have asserted that the road cannot be constructed without a tremendous eX- penditure. This was one of the prin- cipal reasons that induced the Forrest highway commissioners to name the east ern route, with Pensacola as the ter minus. as the official highway south ol Montgomery.
 When the Baldwin Mobile road has beer constructed, the Forrest highway vii then have two terminals, one at Pen sacola, and the other at Mobile. The trip of the scouting party today was one of the most interesting of the week Leaving Andalusa at 9:30 a. m. this morn. ing, the party drove 40 miles to Luverne where they were entertained at an ella b crate barbecue and basket picnic Al least 500 citizens of Crenshaw.

BIRMINGHAM BOY
 TO BECOME PRIEST
Rev. Joseph A. Tomerlin Will Be Ordained by Bishop Allen at St.
 PauPs Tomorrow Morning

St. Pauls church will be the scene of a solemn and sacred ceremony tomor- row morning at 8 o'clock. when the Rt, Rev Edward P. Allen, DID,, bishop of Mobile, will raise to the priesthood Rev. Joseph A. Tomerlin, formerly an altar boy in that church. Bishop Allen will be assisted by the pastor. Father Coyle. and many visiting priests from neighboring parishes and from the diocese.
 The candidate for holy orders was born in this city on July 5, 1890. He was bap- tized. received his first holy communion, and was confirmed in St. Paurs church. There also he served mass under the late Father O'Reilly and the present pastor, Father Coyle.
 He received his primary education in St. Pauls parochial schools He spent a year and half at St. Bernard college, Cullman, and then went to Mount St. Mary's, Emmitsburg, Md, where he graduated with high honors in 1912. He went to the American college, Rome, for his theological course, and spent two years there During each vacation he traveied extensively in that country and in other portions of Europe. When the great war broke out, he was in Germany, but Italy remained neutral at the be- ginning of hostilities, he was enabled to return to Rome with only slight incon- venience. But as affairs became so un-
 
 other American students, returned to the United States, and so he went back to Mt. St. Mary's to complete his inter- rupted studies.
 After his ordination the new priest will give his blessing to his mother and sis ters and to his friends who will be pres ent at the ceremony. On the following day, Pentecost, he will officiate at the 1o:3o mass, which will be a solemn high mass, in the presence of the bishop. The Rev. Father Coyle will be assisting priest, the Rev. Father Sands, deacon of the mass, and the Rev. Father Malone, subdeacon. The right reverend bishop will preach and after the mass Father Toner lin will give his blessing to the congrega- ton.
 Bishop Allen will during the coming week assigne Father Tomerlin to duty in the diocese. The ordination and first mass will be a source of pride and grati- fication to the friends and the people of St. PauIs parish.

 ''The German victory was gained by able leadership and by the effect of our artillery and torpedo weapons.
 LOSSES ARE ADMITTED
 Until now we have refraned from contradicting many of the alleged off cal English assertions regarding the German losses The latest assertion, again and again repeated, is that the German fleet lost not less than two ves- sells of the Kaiser class, the Nestfalen, two battle cruisers, four small cruisers and a great number of torpedo boat de- stroyers. Moreover, the British indicate that the Pommern, which we reported lost, is not the ship of the line of ,00J tons from the year 1905, but a modern dreadnaught of the same name. We state that the total loss of the German high sea forces during the battle of May 31- June l and the following time are: One battle cruiser, one ship of the line of the older construction, four small cruisers and five torpedo boats. Of these losses the Pommern, launched in 1905; the Wies- baden, Elbng, Frauenlob and five torpe- do boats already have been reported in 
 sons we refrained until now from mak- ing public the loss of the vessels Lutzow and Rostock.
 "In view of the wrong interpretat ton of this measure and, moreover, in order to frustrate English legends about gigan- tic losses on our side, these reasons must not be regarded. These vessels were lost on the way to the harbor to be repaired. after attempt to keep the badly damaged vessels afloat had failed. The crews of both ships, including all the severely wounded are safe
 While the German list of losses is herewith closed, there are positive indi. cations at hand that the actual British losses were materially higher than ad. mitted. It has been estimated by us on the basis of our own observations and of what has been made public, as well as from statements of British prisoners, that in addition to the Warspte, the Princess Royal and Birmingham were destroyed. According to reliable reports, the dreadnaught Marlborough also sank before reaching harbor

No promise; no excuse now made by those responsible for this inaction is entitled to serious cOnsidera- tion It is for you and your associates to show the people that they nave a worthy alternative to which to turn.
 HYPHENATES INTERFERING
 .vThe professional German-Americans acting through various agencies, includ- ing so-called German-A American alliances, are at this moment serving notice on the members of your convention that your action must be taken with a view to the interests not of the United States, but of Germany, and of that section of the Ger man. American vote which is anti-Ameri- can to the core. I believe with all my heart that the action of these sinister professional German Americans will be repudated with angry contempt by the great mass of our fellow citizens who are in whole or in part of German blood and who as I well know are unsurpassed in rugged and wholesouled Americanism by any other citizens of our land But the Professional German-Americans are seeking to terrOrize your convention, for they wish to elect next November a man who shall not be in good faith an Ameri- can President, but the viceroy of TOT eign government. It is for your conven tion in emphatic fashion to repudiare them This can be done in effective manner only if such action is taken as to enable republicans progressives and democrats who are true to the principles of Andrew Jackson and independent-in short all loyal Americans-to join in the effort to reach the goal we all have in view.
 Gan we not forgetting past differences now join for the safety and honor of our country to enforce the policies of genuine Americanism and genuine preparedness?

GERMAN ADMIRALTY ADMITS THE LOSS OF
 TWO MORE VESSELS
tContinued from Pags un.)

(Continued from Paga One) ever, only claimed to have sunk one German light cruiser.
 The Rostock was of 49O0 tons built in was armed with F four-inch guns and two torpedo tubes. The Lutzow was a 26,0OO-ton ship.
 ARE ALL LOSSES
 The statement says these are all the losses sustained by the Germans. The losses of the British are again said to have been heavier than admitted by them, including the dreadnaught War spite, the battle cruiser Princess Royai, the cruiser Birmingham and probably the dreadnaught Marlborough.
 The statement says many official and semi-official reports from the British side havo been systematically spread abroad 'n order to deny the greatness of the British defeat in the naval battle of May 3l, and create an impression as though the battle were a victory for British arms" The statement continues:
 Tt is asserted, for instance, that the German fleet left the battlefield and that the English fleet remained master of the battlefield. With regard to this it is stated that by repeated, effective attacks of our torpedo flotillas during the battle on the evening of May 31 the English main fleet was forced to turn around and it never again came within sight of our forces. In spite of it's superior speed and reinforcement by an English squad ron of 12 vessels, which came up from the southern North sea, it never at tempted to come again into touch with our forces to continue the battle or at tempt in conjunction with the above men toned squadron to bring about the de- sired destruction of the German fleet
 The English assertion that the Eng lish fleet in vain attempted to reach the fleeing German fleet in order to defeat it before reaching it's home points of support is contradicted by the alleged of ficial English statement that Admiral Jelicoe with his grand fleet already had reached the basin of Scalpa Flow, in the Orkneys, 300 miles from the battlefield, On Tupo
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-06-09
FAILED TO FIND SHIPS

Numerous German torpedo flotillas sent out after the day battle for a night attack towards the north and beyond the theatre of the day battle did not find the English main fleet in spite of a keen search. Moreover, our torpedo boats had an opportunity of rescuing great num- Der of English survivors of the various sunken vessels
 "As further proof of the fact, con- tested by the English. of the participa- tion by their entire battle fleet in the battle of May 31, it is pointed out that the British admiralty report, too, an- nounced that the Marlborough had been disabled. Furthermore, one of our sub marines on June 1 sighted another of the Iron Duke class heavily damaged steer ing toward the English coast. Both mentioned vessels belonged to the Eng fish main fleet.
 Tn order to beittle the great German success, the English press also traces the loss of numerous English vessels largely to the effect of German mines, subma- rines and airships. Regarding this it is especially pointed out that neither mines, which. by the way, would have been just
