GERMANY AND
 ENGLAND BOTH
 ARE CONDEMNED
SECRETARY LANSING GIVES HIS OPINION TO HIS LAW
 YER FRIENDS.

WATERTOWN, N Y, June A. In making a speech before the lief ferson county bar association to- day, Secretary of State Lansing made the assertion that. in his opinion. Germany and England are both at fault in the commission of illegal acts during the European war, and the consequent breaking of international law. Both, he said, have acted contrary to law on vari- ous occasions, but in his opinion there Is nothing that this country can do to ameliorate the wrong but to wait with patience for the end of the war and then demand an accounting
 The German offenses, of course have been the greatest, explained the secretary, for the reason that the Germans took the lives of neu' trals. England has been guilty of the destruction of neutral property and the interference with the com merce of neutral nations upon the high seas.
 But If the government of the United States saw fit to make distinction between the destroyer of life and the destroyer of property and the placing of value thereon, 1t would undoubtedly be the de- stroyer of life who would be con- demned

LONDON, June 4.-Although it ls freely admitted, even in official cir cles, that the British loss was the greater as the resul tof the naval tattle in the North sea last We'd nesday. the British general public is satisfied that the navy won a tactical victory. The estimate of the German losses is now growing, 25 warcraft being stated to have been sunk This number is stated to include the dreadnaught Hinder- berg, of recent construction. the cruiser Elberg, the battleships Pom merlin and WIesbaden, and the light cruiser Frauenlobc Three torpedo boats are also reported to be miss ing.
 As far as can be ascertained, the losses of the British in boats sunk are the dreadnaughts Marlborough, Warspite and Queen Mary; the bat tie cruisers Indelatigable and In
 
 Defense, Black Prince and Warrior, and the destroyers Tipperary, Tur- bulent, Fortune, Sparrow, Black Hawk and Ardent Admiral Hood and Admiral Arbuthnot are reported to have gone to the bottom on their ships the Invincible and Defense respectively.
 The total tonnage of boats lost by the British. exclusive of the de stroyers, is 17055C Which means that $131 ,0OO,O0O worth of iron and steel which formerly composed some of the best British ships of the line is now at the bottom of the sea. The German tonnage loss was first reported as 18,0O0, but it is undoubtedly greater than that if the reports received here today con corning the sinking of the Hinden- berg and Elberg are true. The loss in men to the British was in the neighborhood of 5000.
 The battle was fought off the coast of Jutland It lasted all of one day and night, terminating dur ing the early morning hours, seem; ingly by mutual consent. The Brit ish ships which remained above sea line then withdrew, while eight Gec man vessels entered Danish har- bor. There it is said. they will have to remain unless they come out during the time allotted to then, as they are to be informed by the Danish government. And British ships are waiting for them when they do come out.
 The German fleet was assisted during the fight by two Zeppelins, which were nsed in directing the fire of the big guns. And the Ger mans had an innovation in naval warfare, III the shape of small war vessel, setting very low in the water and carrying but one gun, Of enormous calibre, which could ba operated in any position desired.
 The fight was very unexpected, as far as the admiralty officials have been able to ascertain. Ger tain 1t is that the British fleet, which was commanded by Sir John Jelli- COG, was not expected to meet the

NEuRALGlC PAINS

Shooting pains in the head with giddi. ness, noise in the ears and tender. ness of the scalp-pains in the neck and shoulders or extending down the arms to the hands, these are the most com- mon symptoms of neuralgia.
 There are number of causes of neu- ralgia. It is most common in families whose members have nervous disposi- tions and it is very often result of anemia or lack of blood.
 Hot applications give temporary re- lief in neuralgia and should be used. They cannot cure the trouble because the pain is the complaint that the un- der nourished nerve is making and it will not be quieted until the nerve Is fed. The only way to reach the nerves with nourishment is through the blood. That is why thin blood so frequently leads to neuralgia. When the blood becomes thin the nerves lack nourish- ment. Build up the blood, supply to it the elements that the nerves need and you begin to correct the neuralgia.
 The free booklet "Diseases of the Nervous System" will interest you. Write for it today to the Dr. Williams Medicine Co.,, Schenectady, N. Y. Your own druggist sells Dr. Williams Pink Pills or they will be sent by mail on receipt of price 50 cents per box, six boxes for S2.50.
