London.-There is no reason to
doubt the, substantial accuracy of the
German official account of the losses
suffered by the German fleet in the
Jutland naval battle May 81. 1916, 1t
is learned officially by Reuters. The
German figures published June 16.
1916, showed that the casualties to the
fleets personnel were Officers, killed
or missing, 172; wounded, Al; other
ratings, killed or missing, 2,414 /;
wounded, 40. Total, 3O76.
Official details of damage done to
individual vessels follow:
Battleship Koenig, struck about fif-
teen times and badly damaged. Ship
went down by the head until her fore
castle was only 6h feet above water.
The crew of the forward torpedo tube
was imprisoned until the ship was
placed In dry dock June 5. -Four fires

Archbishop Brent also erred as re-

coming over from Paris, acquired a
cane, evidently influenced by the al

"Some Of these trenches had cost
thousands Of lives. Men had toiled

he was sure where the attack was

Particular emphasis is given by the
United States public health service in
opening this campaign to the work of

public health nursing, which, created
as war measure, has proved so valu-
able that. according to announcements,
1t will be continued and increased.

A noteworthy tribute was paid to
the nurses by the surgeon general in
the following statement:
"For the first time In its history the
United States public health service
during the recent war organized a de-
partment Of public health nursing.

If the employing public is to secure
the best service that is available at
the hands of the medical profession
there will need to be a better under
standing between patients and doc
tors as to what is the best service.
The time should have passed when
the doctor is looked upon only as a
sort of repair man. But it has not

clever in looking after their own best

affection. He went to the doctor rec

The pain disappeared very promptly

AS it happened, the pain was the
most important thing in the slsdsck

The latter had discovered a condition
which if uncorrected, was almost GER

ease which would have caused no

But the doctor had failed to ex-

he did attempt to explain he failed

GRENADES TO HELP
INDUSTRIAL CONCERN
EMPLOYEES TO SAVE
Government Savings Societies to Be
Formed in 100000 Plants of
District to Aid Uncle
Sans Finances.

A fairly generous proportion Of the
100000 hand grenades owned by the
War Department of the United States
when the armistice was signed are to
pass into the hands of Americas in
dustrial army through the Govern
ment Saving Societies of Americas in
dustrial organizations. They will be
used as savings banks.
Already 10000 of the country's in
dustrial organizations, those in which
Government Savings Societies already
flourish, have been 'slined up for
distribution. At least 100000 will be
included when the work is in full
swing.
The hand grenades are the genuine
articles, just the same hand grenades
as those with which the YankS did such
deadly execution in Europe. The only
difference, in outward appearance, is
that a money slot has been cut through
the shrapnel casing forming the body
of the grenade. Inside, the explosive
chamber has been cleared and re-
movable screw substituted for the base
Of the casting. In place of the high
explosives so carefully developed by
American army experts the grenades,
as banks, hold one hundred dimes or
one hundred permissible shrapnel of
the United States treasury. Acquire
ment of hand grenade bank will be
come possible to any United States
worker by following the simple plan
outlined by Harry Edwards Clay, man
ager of the Industrial Division of the
War Loan Organization, Seventh Fed
eral Reserve District, who has the
distribution in charge.
The industrial worker, eager to pos
sess one of these remarkable war
souvenirs, has only to purchase,
through the secretary Of the War Saw
ings Society of his particular plant,
factory or organization, three War
Savings Stamps at a single time or
one War Savings Stamp month for
three consecutive months. The gre
made bank then will become his, being
received through the Government Saw
ings Society for the industrial organ
ization of which he is part. There
after it may be used for personal and
private savings, as well as for money
in course of accumulation for further
War Savings Stamps purchase or as a
beginning toward requirement OF one
OF the newer Treasury Savings Ger
tifcates now issued in denominations
of 500 and $1,000.
