Her Supremacy Smashed, He Tells
 Sailors Of German Fleet
FIRST BIG BLOW DEALT
Proud Albion Brought to Her Knees By His Naval PrOWeSs While Foe Slowly is Being Crushed at Verdsn is WiIheIm's Belief.

Berlin, via London, June 7, 7:S5 a. m.-In the complete account of the Emperor's speech to the sailors of the fleet at Wilhelmshaven yester- day, which was published here today, the Emperor is quoted as saying that the great naval battle off Jutland has destroyed Great Britain's supremacy on the sea.
 "When the great war came,' the Emperor said, "envious enemies sud- denly attacked the Fatherland. The army, by desperate fighting against superior foes, slowly conquered them one after anothe, but the fleet wait ed in vain for real fight Tn numer- ous individual encounters the navy clearly demonstrated its heroic spirit, but was forced to wait month after month for a general battle.
 TyrannicaI Supremacy Shattered.
 Repeated efforts were made to bring the enemy out, but they proved frultless until the day finally came last week when the gigantic fleet of Albion, ruler of the seas since Trafal- gar was fought 100 years ago, ap- peared in the open surrounded with a N1mbus. Instantly our fleet en- gagged this superior British armada, and with what result? The English fleet was beaten. The first big blow was dealt the English fleet, whose tyrannical supremacy was shattered
 "The news electrified the world and caused unprecedented jubilation everywhere that German hearts beat. Your success in the North Sea fight means that you have added a new chapter to the history of the world. God Almighty .steeled your arm and gave you clear eyes to accomplish this.
 T, standing here today as your su- preme war lord. thank you from the bottom of my heart. AS the represen- tatlVe of the Fatherland I thank you and in the name of my army bring you it's greetings because you have done your duty unselfishly and only with the one thought that the enemy must be beaten.
 Inject Fear Into Enemies Bones.
 At a time when the enemy is slowly being crushed before Verdun and when our allies have driven the Italians from mountain to mountain, you add new glories to our cause. The world was prepared for everything, but not for the victory of the Ger man fleet over the English. The start which you have made will cause fear to creep into the bones of the enemy. What you have done you did for the Fatherland, that in the future it may have freedom of the seas for it's commerce. Therefore, I ask you to join me in three cheers for our dearly beloved Fatherland."

GREAT BRITAIN IN
 TEARS FOR TX. OF K."
Flood of Telegrams Pours Into LOn- don Showing Great Sorrow for
 Loss of Army Chief.

London, June 7, 11:53 a. m.-The British army went into mourning to- day for it's late chief. Every officer wore a band of crepe on his left arm. Throughout the country flags were at half mast
 There was, of course, no suspension Of activities having to do with the prosecution of the war, and at the war office and other governmental de- partments officials continued to work out details of the scheme which Earl Kitchener formulated.
 From allied and neutral countries, the dominions, colonies and depen- dencies came a. flood of cablegrams expressing sympathy. In the do- 1ninions, including South Africa, legislatures adjourned as a mark of respect for the dead leader. In the South African assembly, Premier BOtha, who made the announcement, moved adjournment, the members, Dutch and British, remaining stand ing as a tribute to the man who won the dominion for Great Britain against the forces in which many of the legislators fought.
 Newspapers and many commercial organizations have taken up the de- 1nand for mediate internment of aliens from enemy nations, on the ground that the Germans may have been advised from England of Earl Kitchener's departure, and that such kn nowledge may have been responsible for the destruction of the Hampshire.
 Premier Asquith temporarily has taken personal charge of the war office.

FIGHTING AN ELEPHANT.
A Bishops Story of an Exciting Ex.
 perienee h Africa. ..

Perience In Africa.
 The strongest opponents to the ad- vance of civilization in west Central Africa, says Bishop Lambuth, the Methodist missionary, are the wild ele- lphants. They break down fences, trample gardens, pull up trees and even telegraph poics; because they ob- feet to anything strange in their fa- mIliar haunts. One savage monster nearly wrecked a small steam launch. belonging to the mission on the upper reaches of the KongO.
 The boat, with three white men, in- cludhlg the bishop, and crew of five negroes, had tied up on the edge of q forest in quiet bend of the rYer. A stout p,unk was lad as gangway from the bow to the bank, and the crew worked until nightfall cutting and bling flewood for the boats fur mace. Then they came on deck for their evening meal The three white men were already at dinner when a fearful yell from the natives brought them out of the cabin to see a large elephant viciouSly attacking the wood- pile. The blacks went ashore with firebrands snatched out of, the cook stove to drive the monster away, But he paid no attention to them until he had demolished the woodplle, when he whipped one man with his trunk heels over head into the river and chased the others back into the boat.
 Thundering after. with red gullet open, tusks flashing and trunk failing the air, he planted both tremendous fore feet on the gangplank. It bent until 1t cracked under his weight, but held stoutly, although the whole boat careened and seemed ready to capsize.
 In another moment the elephant had crossed the plank and was astride 1t with hind feet on the shore and fore feet on the boat There he stood afraid to advance or retreat, gigantic Image of bafied rage In his fury he began stamping with those great fore feet and the boat rocked CraZily7 and forth. a
 What might have happened if the monster had come aboard with all his trenzied weight can only be imagined, for the captain by this time had fetch ed the only rife on board and risking all on one shot, had thrust the muzzle almost into the gaping mouth and pulled the trigger.
 Fortunately the bullet lodged in the base of the brain ThC elephant tum' bled to his knees and into the water next the bank, his bulk thrusting the boat aside so suddenly that 1t snapped the bowlfnes and sent the men stagger- Ing to the gunwale At the next government trading post the captain had two splendid tusks to show as the result of his cool daring; but. to his aStonishmcnt he was ar rested for shooting the elephant with out a license. It was with great ditl' culty that the government official was convinced that the animal had been shot in self defense Even then he coufiscated the ivory. Youths Com pnniOn.
