BRITISH ADMIRALTY DECLARES GERMANS
 LOST MORE HEAVILY
 THAN THEY IN FIGHT
(Continued from Page one)


 British destroyers were able to make a successful attack upon the enemy during the night.
 Meanwhile, Admiral Sir John Jelli- coe having driven the enemy into port, returned to the main scene of the action and secured the sea in search of disabled vessels. By noon the next day, June l, it became evident there turned, therefore, to his base, 400 miles away, refueled his fleet, and in the evening of June 2 was again ready to put to sea.
 "The British losses have already been fully stated There is nothing to add published by the admiralty. The enemy losses are less easy to determine. That the accounts they have given to the world are false is certain, and we cannot yet be sure of the exact truth But from such evidence as has come to our knowledge, the admiralty en- tertains no doubt that the German losses are heavier than the British, not mere ly relatively to the strength of the two fleets, but absolutely.
 There seems to be the strongest ground for supposing that included in the German losses are two battleships, two dreadnaught battle cruisers of the most powerful type, two of the latest light cruisers, the Wiesbaden and Elbing, light cruiser of the Bostock type, the light cruiser Frauenlob, nine destroyers and a submarine"

 NOT GIVEN HEARING
 Nevertheless, when Sanders stated his case he was seated and I, without hav- ing been given an opportunity to speak in my defense, was displaced.
 There is no question but that the com mittee had a reason for its arbitrary ac- tion. Just previously it had overruled the contests of U. G. Mason and con ferees against the white delegates from the state-at-large. Northern negroes evil dently raised howl and in order to hand them sop, Sanders was seated from the Ninth and I made the goat of the situation Nevertheless. the case will be appealed to the credentials committee and there is every leason to believe will be vndicated"

A few years ago a young Armenian was found by Constable Will Cochran of the Ensley precinct very i'll with typhoid fever in very cheaply fur nished room at Ensley. He was with out money and without friends and necessarily his condition was deplor- able. The condition of the sick man appealed to the sympathetic heart of Mir. Cochran and through his efforts the man was taken to the Hillman hos pital where he was treated and nursed back to health. On his recovery he re- turned to Ensley and resumed his em- ployment at the Fairfield wire plant. Needless to say. his gratitude to MT. Cochran was profound.
 With the industry and frugality of his race. he saved his earnings ana after awhile had a substantial sum in the bank. His main incentive in sav- ing was the fact that on leaving the hills and valleys of his native Ar menia he promised his boyhood sweet heart that he would return some day and claim her for his bride.
 Shortly before the outbreak of the "''A io AoAe eiiiS Souh@iy eo AooeeHi HIS promise to the black-eyed maiden, who was faithfully awaiting his return.

BROWN FOR CHAIRMAN

It was said here tonight that Wal ter Brown of Ohio would probably be decided upon as permanent chairman of the progressive convention.
 The plan suggested last week by George w. Perkins of New York that the progressive convention delay mak- ing any nomination until after the re- publicans have taken action, found fa- vor among progressive leaders here to- night, and it was thought probable that such an arrangement will be agreed upon.
 Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, a delegate to the progressive convention, asked whether progressives would sup port Hughes if named by the repub- lican convention, said For myself, l would not go anywhere for anything without knowing just what it is. l do not think that a national conven- ton should be made a grab bag"
 One plan being considered tonight by progressive leaders is to have the progressive convention express its in tention to nominate Colonel Roosevelt and recess until action is taken by the republicans. If the republican conven- tion nominates Justice Hughes the pro- gressives, according to the plan, would wait until Colonel Roosevelts attitude was made known. If Colonel Roosevelt expressed a willingness to support Jus tice Hughes the progressives, accord ing to the plan, would be expected to line up behind him.

FIGHTING IN WEST

London, June 1.-The region of Vaux and Damloup, northeast of Verdun, has been the scene of further futile attempts of the Germans to pierce the French lines. All the attacks were set at naught by the French fire, except a night at tack between Damloup and Fort Vaux, where the Germans obtained a foothold in French trenches. From these, how ever, they were immediately driven out by counter-attack.
 The Canadian troops and the Germans have been battling fiercely on the Ypres salient. The German guns opened up several days ago, deluging the Canadian positions and the surrounding territory with shells. Then the German infantry advanced along an extended front Of al- most two miles, capturing trenches. In a series of counter-attacks in which bomb and bayonet played an important part the Canadians regained most of the lost ground and have reorganized their posi- tiOnS

ARTILLERY IN EAST

On the Russian front violent artillery duels are going on in the Bessarabian and Volhynian sectors. Several Russian in- fantry attacks against the Austrians were repulsed.
 The Italians in the region of Arsiero are holding the AustMans from further advances in the desperate struggle that is going on in this region. The Aus trians with large forces attempted to break through the Italian line in the di- rection of Onaro, but were driven back. The bombardments are still heavy on the other sectors of the Austro-Italian front.
 According to unofficial advices from Saloniki. General Sarrail, the French com mander, has declared martial law in the entire zone occupied by the entente allies and the allied troops have taken over the telegraph offices the port and cus- toms house at Saloniki.
 Paris, June 4.-Several attempts made by the Germans last night and this morning to turn the French po- sitions at Fort Vaux, on the Verdun front, from the southeast, were unsuc- cessful, the war office announced this afternoon. The night attacks resulted in their gaining foothold in the French trenches in the ravine between Damloup and Fort Vaux, but they were immediately driven out by counter att tack. The assault this morning was checked by the French curtain of fire.
