zEPPEuNS GREATLY AIDED THE ENEMY

LONDON, June 3.-British spirit is
undaunted and despite the loss OF
such ships as the Queen Mary and
Invincible, OF which all England was
proud, together with dozen other
war craft, the disaster OF the North
sea battle is viewed philosophically
today.
Chief regret centers in the loss OF
officers and men. The lost ships can
be replaced and at all events Briton's
sea superiority is still two to one
over Germany, Englishmen grimly de-
clared.
One of the chief reasons for the
heavy British losses is found in the
fact pointed out by experts here that
German dreadnoughts- line ves-
sells OF the kaiser's navy-were op-
posed by nothing heavier than British
cruisers until tho English dread
noughts appeared.
W In response to wireless calls and
hurried signals from torpedo boats
sent back to bring up aid to the as
sailed cruiser squadron, the greas
first line ships of Britain swung for
ward to the scene OF battle. When
they appeared. however. the Germans
fled and the British still maintain to-
day that Germany has yet to feel the
full force OF English sea power.
efficient Zeppelin scouting enabled
the Germans at all times to locate
approaching warships. Hovering
above the German high sea fleet as 1t
pounded the British cruisers and de-
stroyers to pieces, the Zeppelins
were able to give warning of the ap-
proach of the dreadnoughts Fastening
to the aid Of the outnumbered squad
ron Then came withdrawal, success
full retreat to the German naval base.
and the super-fghting machines of
Great Britain could only return to
their home waters.
AS a result Of the assistance rem
dered by the Zeppelins, general de-
mand is being voiced today that the
British navy be equipped with scout
Ing air forces.
In some quarters the suggestion Is
made that Sir John Fisher be re-
turned to active control of the navy.
Editorial Comment.
LONDON, June 3.-Editorials in the
leading English papers agree that
Great Britain has suffered her heav1-
est sea blow of the war. They are
practically unanimous in the opinion,
however. that the destruction Of the
ships will not lessen the effectiveness
Of the British blockade. Some of the
editorials in part are:
The Times: It is clear that we have
suffered the heaviest blow at sea we
have met with during the war. We
engaged. perhaps with over conf
dence, in long running fight with
ships which were more numerous.
stronger, more heavily armed than
our cruiser fleet and we suffered heav-
lily. But the event will not impair
the effectiveness of our blockade or
our ability to uphold the freedom OF
the sea-

CHICAGO, June 3-Sudden real1za-
ton Of the fact today that Theodore
RooseXelt has now garnered the sup
port OF goodly portion of Big Busi-
ness--that portion from which a size
abls share Of the sineMs OF war are
usually ollected-injected a new
problem in the pre-convention log
rolling along candidates row today.
The old guard contingent has here
tofore felt secure in its stand that the
candidate they proffered would be
able to command a goodly bank roll.
But the appearance in the open Of
Herbert L. Satterlee. brother-in-law
OF J. P. Morgan, as an active Roose-
vet worker; word from New York
that Frank A. Vander1ip, credited
with considerable influence in the oil
group Of Wall street had announced
for T. r. and knowledge that J .Og-
den Armor of packing house fame, was
Roosevelt adherent, had the effect
of weakening the most potent argli-
ment Of the standpatters-their ability
to back a candidate with money. If
the gossip along the row rs an index,
big business Is dead set against
Hughes. Before the old guard came
to a full realization that Roosevelt
was gradually accunulating business
support, its leaders started q back
fire movement against the justice,
holding that entire lack Of knowledge
as to his position on the tariff, pro-
paredness and other big problems OF
the day, made it problematical wheth-
er he could command big business
support. The plan to kill off Hughes
with Roosevelt and then to kill off
Roosevelt with a combination of al
lies-the favorite sons-was in the
making last night. Today, however,
the pussyfooters weren't so sure the
program would holo water.
Meanwhile small wedge of dis
sention showed today in the progress
sive ranks. The radical progress
sives of the type Of Governor Hiram
Johnson Of California, want the pro-
gressiyes to meet on Wednesday ano
name their candfdate-which of
course would be T. R.-within an
hour or So Then they would sit back
and wait. The concifliatory group of
conservatives on the other hand are
willing to wait until the republicans
nominate; even if this takes until sF,rt
day or Saturday before having the
csncIave in the Auditorium choose a
standard bearer. They hold the third
ticket .bogey would be most effeCtuat
ly held before the republicans unless
the conservatives sat tight.
All the pre-convent1on pussyfnoting
the one plan evolved, so far sy the
old guard, as last line defense against
stampede for Roosevelt, is a sudden
adjournment after one or two ballots.
1t looks now as though the nominating
oratory will be spilled on Friday. The
first roll call on a presidential noTi-
nee will come Immediately afterward.
If T. R. and Hughes show big at first
and if either grows perceptibly in two
or three ballots, Murray Crane is ex-
pected TO suggest en adjournment.
Then in the watches Of the night the
final effort will be made to agree on
the vote the next day.

came into action. the position was
reversed and the German main feet
was driven into port. There is one
thing, however. we have the right to
demand in the face of our losses.
There must be no more trifiing with
the powers of the fleet.

battle feet appeared, the Germans

It was learned at the admiralty

ers from their base. According to
admiralty accounts, the battle had
four distinct phases. The first phase
was at 3:15 o'clock Wednesday aft
ernoon, when the German and Brit
ish battle cruisers first met. Admiral
Beatty was in command and immed-
lately started his maneuver to cut
off the German fleets line of retreat.
"Thus the four phases were COM
prised Of Admiral Batty's attempt to
cut off the Germans; second, his
forced retirement to the open sea by
the appearance OF the German bat
tleships when the British were out
numbered for time; third, the ar
rival of the main British fleet under
Admiral Jellicoe, when it became a
dreadnought against dreadnought,
and fourth, a retirement of the Ger
