THE KING.
Stand forth, my soul, and grip thy
woe,
Buckle thy sword, and face thy foe.
What right hast thou to be afraid,
When all the universe viii aid?
Ten thousand rally to thy name
Horses and chariots of flame,
Do others fears? Do others fail?
Ny soul must grapple and prevail,
My soul must scale the meuntainside,
And with its conquering army ride
Stand forth, my soull
Stand forth my soul, and take COM
mand,
Tis I, thy master, bid thee stand.
Claim thou thy ground and thrust
thy foe,
Plead not thine enemy should ge,
Let others cringe! Ny soul is free
No hostile host can conquer me,
There lives no circumstance so great
Can make me yield, or doubt my fate.
My soul must know what kings have
known
Must reach and claim its rightful
throne
Stand forth, my soull

At the regular meeting Of the
Home and School League of School
No. /, held Wednesday afternoon, an
interesting program was carried out.
Mrs. H. s. Merwin read a paper on
"The Cooperation of Parents and
Teachers" in which she brought out
some valuable points. This paper
was followed by a general discussion
Of few of the points suggested. Miss
Dimple Mcmillan contributed pretty
vocal selection, and Alyne BonaclSer
and Benjamin Clutter played duet.
The talent of these young people was
much enjoyed by all. The library
committee reported that they had
made a selection Of a set of histories
and some other reference books on the
civil war, to be used by grade 8. The
report was adopted and the books will
be ordered in a fey days. 1t was also
decided to purchase several of the

PLAN REVISION
NEUTRALITY Laws
UNITED STATES
New Statutes Desired in Or,
der to Cover Activities Of
Foreign Spies.

Washington, June 3-General re-
vision of American neutrality laws
was proposed to congress today in a
memorandum submitted by Attorney
General Gregory and concurred in by
the state department. Enactment of
Is laws is recommended, to correct
defects in existing statutes, to cover
present omissions of law "for the OBJ
servance of obligations imperatively
imposed by international law upon the
United States" and to make crime
against American neutrality punish
able under federal laws.
Many such acts do not now violate
federal criminal law. Almost every
phase of activity in the United States
on behalf of foreign governments,
which have resulted in federal prose-
cution under the broad charge Of con-
spiracy, would be made specifically
criminal by the proposed legislation.
In addition, the powers of the presi-
dent would be broadened, such as to
withhold clearance to suspected YES
sells, further employment of the land
and naval forces to preserve neutral
ity, imposing more rigid hold upon
wireless and cable messages to belli-
gerent countries, and selling arms and
ammunition about to be exported in
violation of an embargo
One of the proposed laws would au-
thorize the collector of customs or
other persons empowered by the pres
ident to inspect private vessels in
American ports for the purpose of
Investigating and detecting any use
or attempted use of the vessels in
violation of neutrality laws" The
use of such vessels as place of resort
for conspirators against American
neutrality would also be made crime.
Another law would make criminal GER
tain activities here of foreign spies.

TAKE REFUGE IN
DANISH WATERS?

London. June 3.-There is a report
in circulation which lacks confirma-
ton that the German warships took
refuge in Danish waters after the
North sea battle. IT is said they were
notified to leave within "a hours, and
that the British fleet is awaiting
them
The German dreadnoueht Wcstfal-
en-. of $4,000 tons. has been added to
the steadily growing list OF vessels
sunk in the great naval engagement
off the Jutland coast. according to a
wireless dispatch from Berlin, which
says the German admiralty admits
the loss of this warship.
Additions earlier in the day were
the German cruiser Elbing dsplac-
ing between 1000 and 5000 tons, and
the British destroyer Shark. Nearly
all the men who manned the destroy
err were lost.
Two of the Zeppelins which played
such an important part in the en-
eagement by keeping the Germans in
formed OF the British fleets move
ment, were destroyed. according to re-
ports brought in by Danish fisher
men, who declare that the entire
crew of one of the airships persisted
when their craft was burned.
Wounded men from the angage-
ment have begun to arrive in London,
cheered by the crowds assembled to
meet them.

the daylight battle and during the

GERMANS PLEASED,
With OUTCOME Of
NORTH SEA Fight
Reports from Berlin Show
Engagement Fought in
Two Separate Battles.

Berlin, June 3 (by wireless from
staff correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press, via Sayville, N. W
The first naval battle on a grand
scale during the present war has been
attended by results which, according
to the information received here, are
highly satisfactory to the Germans,
not only with respect to the compare
tive losses to the two fleets, but in
the fact that the Germans maintained
the field after the battle. This is
shown, German commentators assert,
on the rescue of British survivors.
The German high seas fleet was
engaged under personal command of
Vice Admiral Scher, the energetic
German commander, who succeeded
Admiral Won Pohl. The British fleet
is now estimated at approximately
twice as strong in guns and ships as
that under Admiral Scher.
Two Separate Battles.
Detailed reports have not yet been
received, but the main engagement
apparently occurred about 1875 miles
southwest of the southern extremity
of Norway and $50 miles off the Dan
ish coast. The battle was divided into
two sections. The day engagement
began about p. m. and continued un-
til darkness, or about 9 o'clock. This
was followed by series of separate
engagements through the night.
The exact ranges and course of the
day fight have not been ascertained.
1t is assumed that the ranges of the
day engagement were not extreme,
possibly at distance of about eight
miles as the weather was hazy.
Submarines Effective.
III German torpedo boats anG de-
stroyeFs were more effective than the
British. accounting to a considei able
extent for the successes of the Ger
mans against an overwhelmingly
superior force. 1t is understood he

All the German warahips except

port reached Wilhelmshaven safely
Thus Var nothing has been reported
egardlng ths extent to which any Ct
these vessels was damaged.
81 British Capital Ships Engaged.
1t is stated at the Admiralty that at
least 81 British capital ships We're
engaged and that the British torpedo
lotilla was severely handled. The
hattleship Westfalen alone sank six
orpedo boats during the night en-
counters.
German personnel and material
alike stood the test brilliantly and

( Amsterdam via London. June 81
@Berlin newspapers, comm nting On
the recent naval battle, declare that
the Germans navy longed fervently
for this sea T. battle for 81 months.
Admiral Won H6fe describes the bat
tie in the following manner:
"Tbe German high seas fleet was

Great Brtlin's allies had clearly
pointed out the inadequacy of her
blockade and demanded stronger
pressure. Great Britains first step
was to send out the fleet. but Ger
man skill and accurate firing stood
the test in squadron action against
the heavy caliber guns of the British
dreadnoughts.
THE German torpedo flotilla first
successfully attacked the British
ships Of line. Several engagements
took place and the British used their

armed units. They also attacked
continuously during the night by
sudden dashes of their torpedo lilo-
tillas. That the German torpedo de-
lenses worked splendidly is shown
by the heavy losses incurred by the
British flotillas."
Estimates Of Losses.
Captain Won Kuhl letter. writing in
the Lokal Anzeiger. estimates the
total German losses at $4,000 tons
and the British losses at $4,000 tons,
with the loss in big ships at $4,000
tons for the Germans and 100000 for
the British.
Great Britain since the beginning
OF the war;" says Captain letter, "has
used her older vessels in the distant
theatres OF the war and has also lost
number of them. This permits The
conclusion that the home fleet was
composed Of only the latest and best
ships. The German sailors have never
underestimate the British fleet but
Aave considered it the bcst of all ex-
cept the Germans. Today we know
that we can accomplish more than
the British, and that Great Britain is

"The only alternative therefore is
for this government to hold firmly to

impossible to conform submarine war

or if Great Britain finds it equally
difficult to obey the rules of blockade

neutral nations to submit without re-
slstance to further invasions of their
rights.
"This has been the position of the

NATION DEPRESSED
BY NAVAL DISASTER

London, June 3.-Latest reports
from the British fleet, from neutral
vessels which witnessed a part of the
great naval battle in the North sea,
and from survivors,, caused the Brit
lsh to believe tonight that the engage
ment was not so near defeat as at
first appeared, and in no wise dis
astrous.
The British losses, with all the
craft engaged accounted for included,
were three battle cruisers, three
cruisers and eight destroyers. The
German losses are believed to have
been about the same number of ships
with less aggregate of tonnage.
The British naval experts maintain
that Great Britain continues to hold
the supremacy of the sea, by safe
margin, and that her enormous navy
could better afford the losses it suf-
fered than could the smaller German
navy. The first report of heavy life
loss unhappily has not been revised
Great Britain mourns for more than
1000 of her best seamen, and the
whole nation is oppressed with sad
ness which was reflected in the faces
OF all the people of London. There
way O1OOO HIGH OIl Vic Slllp0 WIllCl
sank, and only a few hundred have
been saved.
That the horrors of modern war far
exceed those when wooden ships
fought and continued to float even
when they ceased to be fighting units,
was realized to the utmost. From
five of the largest ships which went
under, with complement of more
than 1000 men, only seven junior
officers and few seamen were res
cued.
Rear Admiral Hon. Horace Lambert
