Loss of Lie.
New York, June 3.-From the ad-
vices thus far received it would ap-
pear that the greatest naval battls
of history has taken place. Never be.
fore have two naval forces of such
magnitude as the British and German
high sea fleets engaged in combat.
But apparently the battle was not
fought out to a point to determine
mastery of the seas, for the losses
serious as they ar1 reported to have
been, will not impair the strength OF
either fleet to vital extent.
The scene of the battle was in tbs
eastern waters Of the North sea. II
is probable that the German fleet
was On one of the excursions into
the North sea which it has taker
from time to time during the war
and met, whether or not by design
with the British fleet.
Skagerak is an arm Of the North
sea. between Norway and Denmark
The point referred to in the officia
German statement as Horn Riff prob
ably is the reef off the Horn, on the
southwestern extremity of Denmark
This would indicate that the battls
was fought off the coast of Den
mark. From the reef to Heligoland
the main German naval base in the
North sea, is about 100 miles.
News of the engagement was helc
back by the British authorities, pos
sibly pending the return home of the
fleet, and the first word received OF
the battle came by wireless from Ber'
lin, by which means the Germans are
able to escape the censorship over the
cable lines.
The losses in the engagements must
nave been extremely heavy. The bat
tie cruiser Indefatigable, for instance
from which the German admiralty re
ports only two men were saved, prob
ably had more than 900 men on board
and others of the vessels sunk car
ried compliments of men equally OF
nearly as large.

attack by the French earlier in the
battle.
Reports of the proposed British Of
fensive being near has aroused new
enthusiasm and are given added
weight by reiteration of the denial
from Paris that there is lack of har-
mony between the French and Eng
lish forces. 1t is declared that the
only difficulty is to restrain the Brit
ish from rushing into action until the
arrival of the strategic moment.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Haiy

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which Is very
injurious, as 1t dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
. The best thing to use is Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for It is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap,
and beats the most expensive soaps or
anything else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store. and few ounces
will last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub II In, about a teaspoonfuI Is
all that Is required. 1t makes an abund-
ence of rich. creamy lather. 'cleanses
thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and Is
soft. fresh looking, bright. fluffy. wavy,
and easy to handle. Besides. II ioosens
and takes out every particle of dust. dirt
and dandruff.-Advt.
