GERMANY RIDIcULES BRITISH
CLAIMS OF VICTORY

Berlin, June 5. - Great Britain's
claim to victory in the naval fight of
Wednesday is taken as an enormous
Joke by all Germany. The claim is
not even accorded the dignity of Sc
rious attention. 1t does not arouse
ire or resentment, but mirth only.
Eyes," grinned one official, Great
Britain won an enormous tactical
victory. About two more such tao
tical victories and the British navy
would be reduced to TowbOats."
The Germans point out that the
British admiralty was almost forced
+ to make false claims Of German loss
. es to prevent the shock of the worst
naval drubbing of the war from prov
ing too heavy a depressant on the
English people.
The Germans claim that the pres

GERMANS LETTER OF PRAISE
PLEASES ROOSEVELT

Oyster Bay, l. /, June 5. - Col
Roosevelt was highly gratified to-
day with a letter he received from
w. F. Zierath of Sheboygan, Wis,
saying: q hope to have the pelasureN
of voting for you as the nominee Of
the Republican party or as the head
Of another party-an American par
ty. Il any one believes the German
American alliance (hostile to Roose'

CLAIM GERMAN LOSSES WERE
GREATER THAN ADMITTED

London, June Slope of many
English families, members of which
were on ships lost in great Skagerak
sea fight, that some of the men would
be rescued is being slowly crushed
by tales of awfulness brought in by
vessels which have reached COpen-
hagen since the battle.
But with the crushing of this hope
pride in the navy is growing hourly
with the continued insistence Of the
British admiralty that the Germans
lost far more heavily than they ad-
NIT.
There seems to be the strongest
ground for supposing that included
in the German battle losses are. two
battleships, two dTeadnaught battle
cruisers Of the most powerful type,
two of the latest light cruisers the
Wiesbaden and the Elbing;-a light
cruiser of the Restock type, the
light cruiser FrauenIob, 9 destroy
ers and a submarine, !" the statement
said.

Washington,

washington, June S.-Presldent
Wilson today began the draft of his
reply to the latest note from Car
rama demanding withdrawal of the
American troops or explanation Of
why the United States should keep
its troops on Mexican soil.
It is the administration present
intention to have its reply in Car

adverse criticism of the presidents
Mexican policy at the Chicago con-
vention.
That the troop withdrawal sug-
gested would be refused seemed GER
tain. That the refusal will convey to
de facto government officials fnality
of decision in this respect seemed
also a certainty. But the answer will
be couched in such terms as to leave
the CaTTanza government ample OPP
portunity to keep itself right" be-
fore the Mexican public.

A most useful feature of the three

the Home Economics department of
the Extension division of the Utah
Agricultural College, recently held
in Mount Pleasant, Ephraim, and
Manti, was the popular demonstra-
ton in making over worn clothing
given by Mrs. Anna Frost Otte. The
women took the pieces of clothing
they desired altered to the conven-
ton. Mr.. Otte then gave instruc-
tons how to effect the change neat
ly and at the least expense. The
subject of dress for school girls was
also gone into thoroughly. The op-
inion expressed by the mothers pre-
sent was decidedly in favor of uni
form dress.

TENDENCIES
OF CAPITALISM

Every census report is Socialist
argument. The department of COM
merce has issued bulletin on manu-
features in the United States that
once more proves every claim set
forth by Socialists as to industrial
evolution.
The number of "proprietors and
firm members" has decreased 81 per
cent between 1909 and 1914 But the
number of wage earners has increased
Ga per cent. Today there are 264,872
owners confronting 7,036,337 workers
in the manufacturing industry of the
United States.
There is small comfort for the little
capitalist in these figures. The num-
Der of establishments grew but OF per
cent, while the capital invested went
up eleven times as fast, or 23.7 per
cent.
Bigger firms, fewer owners, more
wage -workers-this is the story of
five years. growth in manufacturing.

CAMPAIGN FUND $4,000

In spite of the hot and distressing
weather the Socialists of America are
rolling up big campaign fund. AL
though the appeal for funds has been
out only few weeks a total of over
$4,000 has been collected on the var
ious funds for campaign purposes, in
Guiding the $3.50 which has been
paid in by the locals on the dates for
the presidential and vice presidential
candidates. tours.
In the Second Congressional Dis
trict of Washington the campaign
fund is coming in pretty literally.
The committee expects to spend some
100000 and most of this will be OBJ
tainable.
In other sections of Washington the
funds are coming in kind of slow but
we hope to see quite an improvement
once we launch our campaign.
The campaign will be launched on
Sept. 3 which is the first day of RED
WEEK.

RURAL CREDITS FAKE

The Bankers Life Insurance Co. is
now offering money on farm mort
cages at six per cent and "no strings
to it or extras" The Donk rural
credit fake where you can not borrow
more than so per cent of the property
security and that must be more than
homestead, where you must unwind
a thousand miles of red tape to get
the money and pay at least 6 per cent
interest, is thereby made to look sick.
Let the people own the banking and
credit monopoly and then we shall
have rural credits with the bells on.
The party of the usurers and land
lords do not want that kind of rural
credits, but the party of the working
class does.-The Rebel.

Evidence that some of the big rail-
roads now defying the brotherhoods
in the latter's demand for the eight
hour day are forcing their unskilled
and their unorganized employees to
petition" President Wilson to inter-
vent and save the day for the COM
panies, has reached the office of So
cialist Representative Meyer London.
1t appears that the Rock Island
lines have begun collecting these "pe-
titions" from Mexican section hands
who understand no word of English
and from all other employees outside
the train crews. The implied threat
of punishment for refusal to sign this
appeal has been effective. Within a
day or two, if the scheme is consum-
mated, the white house and congress
will begin to hear of this petition"
from the employees Of the railroads
who are employed on the trains.
