TWO GERMAN CRUISERS LOST.
Admiralty Explains Why It Did Not
Tell of Lutzow and Rostock

ROTTERDAM, via London, June %.
The Courant today in an article gives
what 1t says are the German ad-
miralty's reasons why it did not make
known in its first report of the re-
cent battle off Jutland the loss of the
battle cruiser Lutzow and the light
cruiser Rostock, as follows:
When the first report was sent out
our two ships had not sunk, but were
being towed, badly damaged, back to
Germany. Finally both sank after the
survivors and wounded had been taken
on. II the German admiralty had
stated in its first report that attempts
we've being made to save the ships.
English destroyers would undoubtedly
have been sent to try to sink them"
According to dispatches, the German
battleship Koenig, damaged in the ma
val battle of May 81. has been docked
at Kiel.

he received from the War Department
in telegram. as follows;
THE Secretary of War has ordered

regiment, separate battalion or other
separate organization the moment II
is reported by you reasonably ready for
field service.
ORGANIZATIONS must not delay on ac-
count of shortage in field equipment.

Capt. Hobbs refused to confirm this.

All the morning the troops were in

shape. They began their extended or

battle with the Mexicans. when they
are scattered about over the ground so
as not to furnish target for any at
tacking force.
They had not learned Of the issuance
of the orders which instructed that
they be placed in service as soon AS ac-
ceptable. but there was an undercurrent
of eagerness to get away from the
Radio campground and further to the
south. where they could get a taste OF
the service for which they were called

the question asked by most OF the men
when they met friends who might have

and they can hardly wait for the formal
mastering ceremony and the arrival OF
camp equipment.
From now on il is expected that they
will receive drills and drills and drills as
they never have before. in order that they
may be whipped into shape and hardened
for the strenuous service which may be
theirs. They must be hardened to the

wEILER's MUSICAL FpREsT-THE
ONLY ONE IN UNITED STATES.

Some time ago Mr.. A. Weller conceived
the original idea Of creating 9 Musical
Forest in which to display his complete
line Of Edison Diamond Disco. BY se.
curing the services Of MIR. Fred Bradley,
Of Greenwood. one of the most attrae.
tive and novel displays eve, shown in
Mississippi was perfected.
The scene presents a forest with an
old mill and rustic cabin under the trees,
The high stone mill wall forms a reals.
tic background and provides a dam for
the stream which turns the wheel. In
the center of the forest, and sheltering
the mill with its withered branches
stands q dead tree.
Beneath It q chipmunk and = weasel
are lettering, and in its branches a
wise looking owl and deliberate crow
are holding council.
Squirrels crack nuts on moss covered
logs and peer at one through the leaves
which doves and pigeons and brightly
planned birds are fitting from tree TO
tree. In the midst of this woodland is
Daniel Boone's cabin. 1t is hcwn of
rough logs and the rustic walls ar.
hung with coon and snake skins and
Boone's old gun and powder horn. By
the door stands u maEger full of hay,
and zeal it blazes n Gre under an iron
kettle. 't'
The chief beauty Of this display rests
in its absolute simplicity and realistic
presentation Of forest life.
By clarifying the commonplace, an
exhibition has been accomplished which
is beautiful in the highest and most ar
tistie seRse-presenting as 1t does the
only musical forest within a store in
the United States.
Mr.. Weller could not have chosen n
more attractice way of displaying his
splendid stock of Edison s musical In.
struments. Mr.. Bradley is to be con.
graduated upon the excellent and ex-
traordinary artistic skill with which he
carried out the idea.
Mr. Wciler's great Jewelry Palace is
well known through all the States of
the Union, and since the recent install
htion of his Musical Forest his popu,
lar establishment is attracting add
tional attention from all visitors to the
Qaeen City of the Delta.

acbeer up. If you're sick and the tur,
MOL and strife
OF fighting for fortune and fame,
II worn with the struggle aud weary of
life
And utterly spent with the game,
Rack out of the harness for some other
chap
Whose one only aim is to- carve
A pame for himself that will show on
the map,
And then you can regularly starve.
"Don't worry! The burdens you grudg-
ingly bear
May seem far too heavy for J ou;
The present may loom like the Mount
of Despair,
The future rise gloomily blue,
But some other fellow will take on
your work
And set about making his mark,
While you have abundance of leisure to
shirk
And sleep on a bench in the park.
"Be brave! If success isn't even in
sight,
If you know that you can't make I.
hit,
Though through the long years you may
drudge day and night,
It always is easy to quit.
Some hustling young fellow will slip in
your shoes.
And figure some day in the headlines,
While you drown your gricfs and your
troubles in booze
And board at the various brcadIines. -
