War Chief Kitchener and
Staff Lost.
Second Great Shock England
Received the Past Week.

London, June 6.-The news that
Earl kitchene., Secretary OF State for
War, and his staff, who were proceed
ing to Russia aboard the cruiserHamp-
shire, were lost off the Orkney Islands
last night was the most stunning blow
Great Britain has received since the
war began.
Officers and men aboard the Hamp-
shire numbered between 400 and 500.
The casualties probably will total 500.
The War Minister and his ataff
were proceeding to Russia at the spec
ial invitation of the Gar of Russia
on a special mission to discuss impor-
tant questions connected with the
military and financial conduct of the
war.
1t is understood on high authority
that Earl Kitchener's visit to Russia
was kept profoundly secret. 1t was
practically impossible for the Germans
to have learned either that he was
going or on what route the ship was
travelling.
That the Hampshire was torpedoed
by German design therefore is gener-
ally discounted. 1t is believed in the
highest circles that the ship either
struck mine or was torpedoed in a
chance encounter with German sub
marine.

Farmers Day.
People From All Parts OF The
State Attend Celebration.

College Park, Md, May 3lst.
Over two thousand farmers and
their families thronged the grounds
of the Maryland State College OF
Agriculture yesterday in celebration
of Farmers Day, which, in point OF
interest and attendance from every
section of the State, exceeded that OF
any previous occasion. The main
features of the day were the Horse
Show on the Experiment Station
grounds in the morning and the
Farmers Meeti ng in the afternoon,
at which the principal speakers were
Hon. c. r. Gray, president OF the
Western Maryland Railway, and
Robert Grain, of the Board of Trus-
tees.
The visitors began to arrive by
train and automobile as early as 8
o'clock, representing nearly every
county in the State. Those counties,
especially, which were readily acces-
sible by automobile, sent large dele
cations, there being fully 500 auto
mobiles on the College grounds dur
ing the day, in evidence of the pros
perity of the Maryland farmer and
his appreciation of good roads. Dur
ing the morning, the visitors were
escorted through the College build
ings and experimental grounds by
member of the Faculty and student
body, where every possible opportu-
nifty was given for becoming acquaint-
ed with the work Of the Institution.
In addition to the inspection of the
buildings and equipment, a series of
short lectures and demonstrations
were given by specialists in nearly
every branch of farm and home i'll
dustry, these being on soils and crops,
orchards, gardens, plant diseases,
fertilizers, hog cholera prevention,
and other subjects of interest to the
visiting farmer and farm woman.
The Horse and Colt Show on the
Experiment Station grounds was a
new feature, there being an exec llent
display of both heavy draft and driv-
ing horses made by farmers living in
adjoining sections. The draft horses
attracted especial attention, as the
need of heavier draft horse in many
communities is becoming more and
more apparent.

Big Naval Battle.

The big naval battle of the European
War was fought Wednesday, May Slst,
the British and German war vessels meet
ing in the Northwestern section OF the
North Sea between Skagerak and HON
Bluff.
The engagement lasted during the
afternoon and night, the British appar-
emily getting the worst of the fight. A
number of Britians best fighting vessels
were sunk, very few Of the crews escap-
ing.
The losses sustained by the twonations
are, as follows:
British, three battle crli's"s. thres
cruisers and eight destroyers.
Latest information from London says
the German losses were two dreadnaught
battle cruisers, four light cruisers, nine
torpedo boat destroyers and submarine.
Probably from four to six thousand
men on each side lost their lives
The greatest naval battle of history
was fought in the North Sea Thursday.
Never before have two naval forces OF
-uch magnitude as the British and Ger
man high sea fleets engaged in combat.
But apparently the battle was not fought
out tn point to determine mastery OF
the seas, for the lossss, ssrio,s as they
are reported to have been, will not impair
the strength Of either feet to vital ex'
tent.
: The scene of battle was in the eastern
waters of the North Sea. 1T is probable
that the German feet was on one of the
excursions into the North Sea which II
has taken from time to time dlriny the
war, and met, whether or not by design
with the British feet.
Shagerak is an arm of the North Sea
between Norway and Denmark. The
point referred to In the official German
statement as Horn Bluff probably Is tbs
reef Of the Horn, on the southwestern ex.
tremity of Denmark. From the reef to
Helgoland. the main German naval bas'
in the North Sea, is bout 100 miles.

And Peg tenderly kissed the old
clown as she left him again to enter
the ring. Again and again the horse
and pony were put through their
PAGES until the trainer and ring
master decided hat the rehearsal had
lasted long enough for that time.
Then Peg, a pretty picture in tights

audience just as though the re-

and taking the pony by it's bride she
danced out of the ring and back to

the breathless old clown choked with
worry and could not proceed further.
He threw his arms around Pegs

shoulder began to sob like a child.
There, there, daddy; calm yourself.
Perhaps you didn't look carefully
Whatever was in the old letter can't
be any good to others-so be calm

soothed him the old clown regained
his composure.
Pulling himself together somewhat,
he took Pegs face between his two
