The king replied:
Il am deeply touched by the message
you have sent in behalf of the grand

battle which once more displayed the
splendid gallantry of the officers and
men under your command.
Il mourn the loss of the brave men,
many of them personal friends of mine,
who fell in their countrys cause. Yet
even more do I regret that the German
high seas fleet. in spite of its heavy
losses. was enabled by misty weather
to evade the full consequences of the
encounter.
They always professed a desire for
which when the opportunity arrived
they showed no inclination. Though
the retirement of the enemy immedi-
ately after the opening of a general
engagement robbed US of the oppor-
tunity of gaining a decisive victory
the events of last Wednesday amply
justify my confidence in the valor and
efficiency of the feet under your COM

ships, Says Admiral Pendleton.

PHILADELPHIA June 3.-The United
States should seriously regard the
great naval battle in the North sea as
an object lesson in it's future prepared
ness policy was the statement today Of
Rear Admiral E. c. Pendleton, retired.
The battle. he said. proved conclusively
that battle cruisers cannot reckon with
first-class battleshipS.
The necessity for Congress to incor-
porate a provision for dreadnaughts in
the naval bill authorizing the addition
of five battle cruisers to the United
States Navy is self-apparent, he said.

Can it be that the very unsatisfac-
tory battle off the Danish coast Is the
result? II SO. the new policy stands
condemned. Exclusively naval con-
siderattons would never have induced
the commander to send an inferior
force almost within sight of the enemy
coast, enabling it to be taken in detail
by the full force of the enemy before
our own big battleships could reach
the scene.

to be overborne by civilian craving

Jellicoe and his staff should be left

FLOOD DAMAGE AT

H, estimates that the total loss a. the farm will not eX- ceed S25,00O. A few of the minor buildings at the front camp. which was hardest hit, were not washed away, as at first reported. The front camp is located inside a new levee that is being built and when it is completed it is believed ihe farm will be safe from any ordinary flcod. Ii nay even be feasible to repair the oli levee which broke last week. as a protection against ordinary rises. Tho 50 acres between the two 1evees may then bc utilized for pasture land
