BRITISH VERSION
THE ADMIRALTY CONTENDS
THAT BRITISH WERE VIC
TORIOUS IN SEA BATTLE.

London, June "a total of 333
officers were killed in the Jutland
battle, according TO a list issued by
the admiralty. This list shows that
practically all the officers of the
cruisers Queen Mary, Invincible, In
defatigable, Defence and Black
Prince, and from the destroyers, Tip
perary. Turbulent, Fortune, Ardent,
Nomad, Nestor and Shark perished.
All the officers except one from
the cruiser Warrior were saved and
all the officers from the destroyer,
Sparrow Hawk.
The hope of many English fam
lilies. members of which were on the
ships lost in the great Skagerrack
sea fight, that some of the men
would be rescued. is being slowly
crushed by the tales of awfulness
brought in by vessels which have
reached Copenhagen since the battle.
The British estimate of eighteen
German ships lost as compared with
fourteen British is accepted by the
majority and the result is now claim
ed as complete victory for the Brit
ish fleet.
German Loss Set High.
There seems TO be the strongest
ground for supposing that included
/ in the German battle losses are two
battleships, two dreadnOught battle
cruisers of the most powerful type,
/ two of the latest light cruisers, the
Weisbaden and the Elbing, a light
Of "a tn1 ha oil
cruiser Frauenlob, nine destroyers
and submarine.
The Germans admit only the loss
+ of the battleship Pommern. the
cruisers Wiesbaden. Frauenlob and
/ Elbing and six destroyers.
I Dispatches received in London
from Copenhagen say many of the
! bodies of the British and German
/ sailors lost in the sea fight have been
washed up along the Jutland shore.
British Say Foe Lost 116,135 Tons
The admitted German loss in ton
mage now is 32, 515 tons. The Brit
ish claim an additional 0,920 tons,
which would bring the German total
to 116.435. The British admit the
loss of $4,000 tons. The 0,00C
tons which the Germans do not ad-
nit, Is made up, say the British. OF
the battleship Westfalen. the battle
cruiser Derfflinger. the battle cruiser
Lutzow, a light cruiser, three addi-
tional destroyers and one submarine
Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty is
today looked upon as one of Great
Britain's lilustrious naval heroes
With the men of the fleet, he is ar
idol. They all agree that when the
German battle losses become fully
known, it will be shown that the ac
tion was a glorious victory for the
British navy.
The admiralty report that thu
Warspite was not sunk. as claimed
by the Germans, is confirmed by ses
coast reports saying it limped int
port under its own steam late Thurs
day, the day after the battle.

A Disgusting Practice.

A practice has Of late been indulg-
ed in, by young men of the city, In
Guiding many of those from the high
school, which has called forth I'M
favorable comment. That is, OF con-
gregating in groups on the street
corners and laughing and whisper
ing every time girl passed. sev-
eral persons observed and comment
ed upon this condition this week, es-
pecially upon one day when a crowd
of twelve or fifteen boys gathered
in front of the Savings Bank just at
ter school was out. Even If the re-
marks of the boys were not directly
insulting, they were most embarras-
sing to the girls who passed that
way and several girls were seen to
stop and cross the, street rather
than to run the gauntlet of possible

Hence it must be presumed that SO

This country has either got to be
prepared to defend the Monroe doc
trine Or abandon it. Conditions in
the world today are far different
from what they were when that doc
trine was enunciated and many
careful students of International
politics believe the time is not far
distant when the United States must
abandon the Monroe doctrine if not
in position to enforce it. The ma
tions Of Europe are bent upon ac-
quiring more territory because of
commercial reasons and they will
not hesitate in acquiring that terri
tory where results of a satisfactory
nature are, promised. 1t is not I'M
likely that could the European pow
ers agree among themselves each
would insist upon at least a naval
base in South America and when
they had a naval base securely es-
tablished their appetite would
grow. Then there is no telling what
would happen. The South Ameri-
can is just as anxious as the United
States that no European power
shall secure foothold in that coun-
try, but the statesmen of South
4 America realize that they would be
helpless against European agrees
|sions without active cooperation Of
each other and without the aid and
support of the United States. The
Question is up to US. Do we want to
maintain the Monroe doctrine If it
means some sacrifices or do we want
Ito abandon it like nation OF. mol
llycoddles and sissies? 1.

\ The Freeman-Tribune received a
day or two ago two column arti-
Gle for publication signed by pres
|ident of one of the big automobile
manufacturing concerns at Detroit,
scoring Germany and the president
of the United States for the way the
European war is being conducted.
The communication was respectfully
referred to our waste basket, there
to repose with other contributions
from seekers after public attention
and from other deadbeats who are
trying to get free advertising. The
people of this country, the Freeman
Tribune takes it, are not hankering
for the advice of men whose chief
claim to distinction is the manu-
Ifacture of automobiles on a large
scale and their ability to bamboozle
the big newspapers into giving them
thousands upon thousands of dollars
worth of free advertising every year.
This particular writer calls atten-
ton to the advertisement of Ger

insult to the country, That may be
true but il is safe to say that Ger
many paid regular rates and did not
/ try to sponge the space OF the Amer
lean newspapers that published it's
advertisements. This is at least one
point where the German government
| is better than some of the automo7
bile manufacturers who try to get in
to the advertising columns of the
newspapers without paying cent
for the service. |
