LONDON, June S.-Developments
today clearly showed that the entire
British and German high seas fleets
were engaged on Wednesday in the
greatest naval battle in the history OF
the world.
Sir John Jellicoe, in supreme COM
mand of the British naval forces, di-
rected the English fight with Vice Ad-
miral Scheer, Germany's supreme
power on the seas, heading the kais'
er's armada.
Against more than fifteen crittsh
ships which were sent to the bottom,
German losses were hardly half as
large, but Britons found satisfaction
today when it was learned that after
Jellicoe, and his dreadnoughts had
faced the enemy, that not ship OF
the first powerful line was lost and
that the German dreadnoughts we're
forced to return to their base.
1t is now estimated that more than
5000 British officers and men went
down with their ships. Rear Admirals
Hood and Arbuthnot were lost.
Rear Admiral Beatty, hero OF the
fight which resulted in the -sinISing o1
the Bluecher, was the first British
commander in action and was all but
trapped by the Germans. His cruis-
er squadron endeavored to cut Off
what appeared to be only German
cruiser fleet, from its base.
But lurking behind the cruisers and
low hanging mists was the German
battle fleet of dreadnoughts and SUI
per-dreadnoughts.
Beatty could only retreat, but not
before the heavy German guns were
able to do deadly execution. His
cruisers and destroyers were shat
tered by the heavy fire and with Beat
ty signalling for help, Sir John Jelli-
coe, England's guardian Of the sea,
headed his fleet Of super-dreadnousht
to the rescue.
Then came the battle of the ages.
With dreadnought against dread
nought, battleship against battleship
and cruiser against cruiser, the guns
of the mighty sea forces helched forth
their fire. Not British dreadnought
was lost. The German claim OF the
sinking Of the Warspite is officially
denied. But two German dread
noughts succumbed to the British fire
and the retreat was ordered.
From mid afternoon until darkness
began to fall, the main battle ragged.
At 800 in the evening the finish OF
the encounter of the big ships came.
All during the fight, torpedo boats
and submarines had been used for
small sallies, but with the fall Of
darkness came the real struggle for
the smaller craft.
Like infantrymen IN land fighting,
these small boats made desperate
charges against the lines of their en-
emy. Eight British destroyers were
lost. The Germans lost six.
1t was declared at the admiralty
today that in the German torpedo
boat charges, not one torpedo scored
a hit After Jellicoe arrived and
the torpedo attacks were completed,
the Germans withdrew.
Jellicoe remained on the scene OF
battle during the remainder Of the

son since his prOtege, Young Ahearn,

bons for Jan. l s in. st. Paul.
NO one realizes what a wonder
Ahearn is" says the prolific Daniel.
1--WE been trying for a year TO get
him a scrap with any Of the best
middleweights in the country. But
most of them ducked him. Just
watch that boy of mine when he
goes against Gibbons. Mike is rank
ed as a scientific wonder. Well, just
ogle Ahearn."
There may be quite a bit in what
Daniel says-even though he is
Ahearn's hired press agent. The
battler didn't size up very formid-
ably when ne began fighting around
these parts a few years ago. but a
trip TO foreign chimes seems to have
benefited him wonderfully. While
abroad he became a pugilistic SEN
sation. and was touted as one of the
best youngsters that ever stepped
within the roped arena.
Ahearn's real test will come in his
f-acas with Gibbons. Should he
win-and win decisevely-he surely
will deserve all the nice things that
have been said about him.
