London, June 3-Wounded men from the North Sea battle reached London this morning. They were quickly removed to hospitals or their homes The public was prohibited from talking to the men, but crowds assembled outside the barriers at the railway station, cheering them.
 There is no estimate of the number of wounded, but it is feared that the loss will exceed 5000 officers and men, including the whole crew of the Queen Mary.
 There is no news of the crews of other ships lost but the Germans re- port that they picked up some and few have arrived at neutral ports.

CLOSE RANGEIN BATTLE BECAUSE
 OF HEAVY HAZE

London, June 3-Officia1 accounts of the North Sea battle aref ramed in terms so generoI that no accurate idea of the tactics employed can be gath cred. Naval experts comment in re- strained manner on the probabilities of this greatest naval battle since the war began. The main outline of oper- ations seems to be as follows:
 The action took place off the coast of Jutland, between Skagerak and Horns Riff, some 20 miles due west of Esbjorg, Denmark. Therefore, it would appear that the German bat tie fleet came out from Wilhelmsha- ven and not from Kiel.
 The strength of the Germans is not stated but it>is assumed that the main high sea fleet was 60, including bat tleships battle cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers. The strength of the British force has not been made known, although it is ascertained there were present the battle cruiser squadron, four battIeships,- some arm ed cruisers, several light cruisers and a force of destroyers. It was this fleet that first engaged the German high sea fleet.
 The weather was thick and the range of vision was perhaps not more than six miles, Therefore, the action was fought at short range, in which both the main and secondary arma- ments were brought to bear. The German batt1eships mount very pow erful secondary armament so that the British battle cruisers were exposed at short range to a tremendous fire, three of them being destroyed.

FULL GERMAN HIGH SEA FLEET IHl BIG CONFLICT:
 ALL BERLIN REJOICING

Berlin, June 3.-(By wireless from a staff correspondent of the AssOciat- ed Press, via Sayvi1le.) .)-The first na- val battle on a grand scale during the present war has been attended by re- suits which, according to information received here, are highly satisfactory to the Germans, not only in respect Of the comparative losses of the two fleets but in the fact that the Germans maintained the field after the battle. This is shown, German commentators assert, by the rescue of British survi- VOrs.
 The full German high sea, fleet was engaged, under personal command fo Vice-Admira1 Scheer, 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 Scheer.
 Detailed reports have not yet been received but the main engagement ap- parent1y occurred about 125 miles south-southwest of the southern ex- tremity of Norway and 150 miles off the Danish coast. The battle was divided into two sections. The day engagement began at o'clock in the afternoon and continued until dark ness, or about o'clock. This was followed by a series of separate en- gagements through the night.
 The exact ranges and courses of the day fight have not been ascertained. It is assumed the ranges of the day, en- gagement were not extreme, possibly at a distance of about eight miles, as the weather was hay.
 The German torpedo boats and de- stroyers were more effective than the

RIBBON FACTORY STRIKERS EXPECT
 END OF TROUBLES
Girls In Meeting Voice Ob- jection to Encouragement
 of Working Schedule.

Speedy adjustment of the strike at the Union Ribbon factory was ex- pected today at the meeting held by the 23 girls who walked out Thurs day. As many other classes of work depend for feeding upon the wind CTS, it is thought the strike will ser iously interfere with the conduct of the factory.
 According to the girls Supt. William Lockwood asked them last night to return to their jobs this morning. saying, wen need you,'' but the girls will hold out, they say. They issued the following statement today:
 t"The company has been trying to install a bonus system in which the girls would have to do 12 hours work in nine hours, which meant a cut of three cents per hundred. The girls refused, as they thought the work was hard enough and asked more wages. The superintendent admitted it is the hardest and dirtiest work and yet is the poorest paid job in the fac tory.''
 The strikers are engaged at winding ribbon, which, because of the dye, requires that their hands be bound in tape and covered by gloves. Another meeting will be held Mon day.

SNEAK THIEVES
 RAID HOUSE ON
 BUSIEST STREET
Get Trinkets and Money In Daylight Robbery of Mo
 Loughlin Home.

Sneak thieves entering the home of Mrs. J. Mclaughlin at 796 Main St., between II o'clock yesterday morning and 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon ran sacked a, bureau in Mrs. McLoughlin's 8 bedroom and made off with a solid gold watch bearing the inscription ''M. McL." a solid gold pin, a wedding ring, chamois bag containing $19 in bills, three children's banks con- taining SIS and a. tin box containing several bank books, insurance papers and two deeds to lots at Pinch urst-by- the-Sea, Long Island.
 The robbery was reported to the detective department today and is be- ing investigated. It is believed that entrance to the house was made with a key as Mrs. Mclaughlin says that a number of her roomers when leaving have failed to return the Keys.
 At the time the robbery occurred Mrs. Mclaughlin and Q boarder were the only persons in the house. Mrs Mclaughlin was busy with her house work while the boarder was sleeping in his room as he is employed nights at the Arms company. Two weeks ago his room was entered and $40 taken.

MIDNIGHT LEGAL
 BATTLE STAGED
 IN CITY STREETS
Dr. Schwartz, Estranged
 from Mother Because of Marriage, In New Tang1e.

Scratched windows, torn curtains. signs upside down and furniture topsy- -turvy are the remains today Of the once immaculate dental offices of pr. Jacob Schwartz in the United building at Fairfield avenue. and Main street.
 Following close upon the heels of romance and litigation, one of the most unique legal battles that has had it's place in the street was precipitated at midnight when pr. Schwartz at tempted to move his equipment from the building.
 As a result of the attempted furni- ture removal, suit for $4OO for dam ages and back rentals was instituted by Mrs. Emma Schwartz, of Yonkers, N. Y, the dentists mother and in the absence of regularly appointed deputy sheriffs the statutory provision for deputy sheriff substitution of an in different person was invoked for the first time in many years by Attorney Theodore Steiner, attorney for Mrs. Schwartz.
 Lean, a wine clerk in the Seaside Hotel, owned by his father, Charles H. Mclean, was taken from the street where he had been a spectator of the unusual sight, and was made a dep uty sheriff under oath of office for only two hours after which he was replaced by Deputy Sheriff Robert F. Nichols, who was delayed in arriving at the scene.
 Under the impressed service of Mo Lean the removal was stopped and the furniture recoIYveyed to the office
 under attachment. Discovery that the lettering on the windows had been scratched, that curtains had been torn and that plumbing fixtures had been ripped from the walls brought threats of criminal prosecution against pr. Schwartz today.
 It is known that the summary pro- cess suit for eviction of pr. Schwartz from the building was settled Friday when Judge Wilder signed an order of judgment by consent of counsel in which Dr. Schwartz acquiesced to re- mova1.
 The incidents of last night are said to have developed as the result of his marriage to Miss Lillian Graves daughter of the Fairfield avenue jew eIer. Dr. Schwartz, in 8 statement asserted that his mother was angered because no dowry had been received through the alliance. The matter has been in the courts for nearly a month.

BRlTISH CASUALTIES TO
 TOTAL MORE THAN 5000,
 IS ESTIMATE IN ENGl lANB

Potsrmouth, Eng, June 3.-AH last night crowds of anxious people besieg- ed the dockyards and newspaper of. fees here for news or relatives and friends who were among the crews Of British vessels sunk in the North Sea battle, six of the iIl-fated ships Queen Mary, InvincibIe, Black Prince. Fortune. Sparrowhawk and Ardent having belonged to this port.
 According to estimates made here, which in the absence of official figures can only be conjectural. the British losses in men must be somewhere in the neighborhood of 5000. It is sim ilarly estimated that the German losses were at least between 2,0OO and ], ,O00.
 No attempt is made here to mini mize the seriousness of the British losses in ships and men, and that ac- cording to present information the German fleet had the best of the ac- ton.
 Pathetic scenes were witnessed at the dockyards and the newspaper. of fees where stricken families pleaded for some word of hope concerning the men who, 1t was feared, had gone down with the ships.

British, accounting to a considerable extent for the successes of the Ger mans against an overwh elnaingly Su- perior force. It is understood the Queen Mary and the Indefatigable were both sunk in the day battle. It has not been learned when the War spite and the other British warships went down. CThe loss of the War spite is denied officially by the Brit ish.)
 All the German warships except those mentioned in the official report reached Wi1he1nshaven safely. Thus far nothing has been reported re- garding the extent to which any of these vessels were damaged. A full CT report from Admiral Scheer is ex- pected soon.
 It is stated at the Admiralty that at least 34 British capital shps were engaged and that the British torpedo fotillas were severely handled. The battIeship Westfalen alone sank six torpedo boats during the night en- counters.
 German personnel and material alike stood the test brilliantly and the damage sustained by the German fleet is small in comparison with the British losses. The battlesI1ip Pom mern, which was sunk, was command- ed by Captain Boelken.
 Berlin is decked with flags and the achievement of the German fleet has aroused the greatest enthusiasm. There was a remarkable demonstra- ton in the Reichstag when Rear Ad- rnira1 Hebbinghaus, former naval at- tache to. the German embassy at Washington. announced the result of the battle.

LONDON CHEERS WOUNDED
 SURVIVORS ARRIVING FROM BIG BATTLE IN NORTH SEA

The German loss of life must have been almost as great as that of the British if the British estimate of the destruction of two battleships and a naval cruiser and other smaller ships is correct.
 The scenes at the Admiralty this morning were most distressing, the building being surrounded by relatives and friends of the crews in the en- gagement.
 As for the fight and it's result, there was an inclination this morning after the receipt of the later official ac- count not to consider the outcome of the enga cement so disastrous as it was at first thought, although no attempt was made to minimize it.

AERIAL FLEETS
 GREATLY AIDED
 GERMAN ATTACK

Berlin, June 3-"SuppIementing the official report of the admiralty says the Overseas News Agency, cit is stated by a competent authority that in the North Sea battle the Ger mans had in action the high sea fleet, with dreadnaughts and older battle ships, battle cruisers and also light sea forces, including torpedo boat and submarine f1oti1las. The Germans faced the greater part of the modern British navy.
 The German accommodating forces first entered into combat with the enemy's battle cruisers and light cruisers at about 5 D. m. Later the main forces on both sides took part in the fight. During the day battle German torpedoboats several times entered into action successfully, one of them three times. The fight kept on until o'clock in the evening"
 During the night both sides made violent attacks with torpedoboats and cruisers in which there were further British losses. The leading German ship annihilated six modern British idestroyers. All German reports em- phasize the bravery shown by the British during the fight, which lasted almost without interruption for 2 hours.
 "H. M. s. FrauenIob must be def1- nitely considered lost. Apparently she sank during the night in one of the smaller engagements. Five Ger man torpedoboats have not returned but a large part of the men have been rescued. Although the weather was unfavOrable for aerial accommodating during all the time of the engage ment,, naval airships and aeroplanes contributed considerably to the sue cess of the German sea forces"
