JELLICOE ADMITS GERMAN
 SUPERIORITY AT JUTLAND

London, Dec. 21.-Another chap ter was added to the controversy over the Battle of Jutland when the ad- miraIty today published the eagerly crucial naval engagement, containing Admiral Je1licoe's dispatch describing the battle and the ng natives of the British squadron commanders.
 Admiral Je1licoe, in his covering dispatch. dated June IS, 1916. declar- ed he felt no anxiety regarding the advanced position of the forces under Vice Admiral Beatty. commander of the battle cruiser squadron. and that when Beatty sighted the enemy bat tie cruisers, the vice admiral adopt ed the correct and only possible course in engaging the enemy and endeavoring to keep between the en- emy and his base.
 There has been much controversy over the question whether Jellicoe 6Aou1d have gone to Beatty's assist ance when it appeared the battle was imminent
 The facts which contributed to the British losses in the battle, said Ad- miral Jellicoe in his pesonal reports, were indifferent armor protection for the battle cruisers, particularly as re- yards turret armor and deck plating, together with the disadvantage of the light conditions for the rBitish.
 "A-diSturbing feature of the battle cruiser action," Admiral Jellicoe re- ported, twas the fact that five Ger man battle cruisers engaging six Brit ish vessels at the same time were able to sink the Queen Mary and the inde- Atiga.ble.
 '~The German organization at night was very good" continued the ad- ton signals was excellent, while the British was virtually nil The Ger man searchlights were superior and

were used to better effect than the British" The admiral said he was re- luctant1y compelled to the opinion that under night conditions the Brit
 mans.
 It was not to be doubted" said the
 report, that the gunnery of the Ger
 man battle cruisers in the early stages
 was of a very high standard They appeared to get on the targets and begin hitting within two or three minutes after opening fire, even at range of 18,0O0 yards. 'It is quite evident" said the re- port that all the German ships pos for which they were nominally de- signed" In this connection Admiral JelIicoe cited case where British 25- knot vessels were unable to get away from German craft registered as 2O.5-
 knot vessels.
 "One feature.' said the report, was the large number of torpedoes cross l ing our line without effect, except on 1 the Marlborough. All were avoided | by skil1fuI handling except that sln- gle one."
 1 The Marlborough lodged seven tor
 pedoes before being struck The report said it was of extreme | importance to keep from the knoWl- edge of the enemy the fact that the British ships were able to aVold the i torpedoes by observing their track, : as 'it would not be beyond the in i genuity of the Germans to devise
 means of preventing any track being left.'
 As to the German losses, the re- port said:
 sels sunk as three battle cruisers, two battleships one vessel of the Pom mern class, two light cruisers and
 three destroyers, and as severely dam

According to Avery Hopwood, the noted American drarnatist, ''the mo- ton picture studio is now the great literary melting pot" MT. Hopwood has just returned from Los Angeles and while there he met representa- tive writers from all parts of the world. Here are gathered writers whose distinction in every branch of the literary world is un- questioned. The lure of the scenario

should follow the battle cruisers. We can then cut off the whole of the en- emy's battle f1et.''
 This message was sent at TO o'clock and was received four min utes later by Admiral JeIlicoe, with the request that he issue the neces- sa.ry orders. It previously had been reported that Admiral Beatty's ap- peal was sent earlier, namely, at about 7.15 o'clock, during the crisis of the battle.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-12-22

aged two battle cruisers and several light cruisers and destroyers.'
 Answering criticisms that he should have continued the battle when he had the Germans at disadvantage at n1ghtfall, Admiral Je-icoe said:
 I reject at once the idea of a nigh action between heavy ships as leading to possible disaster, owing, first, to the presence of torpedo craft in such large numbers; and, second, the i'm possibility of distinguishing between our own and the enemy ships; and,

ton under modern conditions must always be very largely matter of pure chance.
 It appears from the admiralty re- port that Admirals Jellicoe and Beat ty left their bases with definite news that the Germans were coming out An interesting feature of the report is Admiral Beatty's now famous wire less message to Admiral Jeldcoe on the night of the battle: Urgent. I submit that the van of battleships

IMMATURE HOPPERS ARE
SHOWING UP VERY EARLY

Reports are reaching the entomol-
ogy department at the state college
on the prevalence of immature grass
hoppers in alarming numbers in a
few portions of the state. At the
same time comes a message from
central-western Canada to the effect
that grasshoppers are appearing
there in numbers to alarm the pro-
vincial authorities.
While the theory that he presents
is what he terms rather against all
law and order,' Prof. r. A. Cooley
of the entomology department states
that the grasshoppers appearing in
Montana may be some that Matched
late last fall and wintered over. Be-
cause no specimens have been sent
in to the state college, he is at a
-oss to know the species that is ma
king the unusual appearance.
sit will do little good to attempt
poisoning the grasshoppers at this
time" said Professor Cooley. "After
all, the condition is not so alarming
for we are already further into
spring than we imagine. We sincere
ly hope that some of the men who
see these grasshoppers will send in
specimens to us that we may deter
mine the species and explain the
early visit"

SHOE PRICES
FOR COMING YEAR

Twill shoe prices come down this
year," is a query so frequently put
to the shoe retailer these days, and
which he finds so difficult to answer
An official of the f. Mayer Boot
& Shoe Co., of Milwaukee, makers of
Honorbilt Shoes, in a recent inter
view stated that we can not expect
a reduction in shoe prices for some
time to come.
mot so long" says this official,
"as shoe manufacturers are obliged
to pay present prices for leather and
all material that goes into the con-
struction of shoes, will prices be re-
duced. There have been some fluc-
%tuations in leather prices, but on the
whole the market remains high and
very firm. Let me show you figures
indicating the increase in the cost of
feathers over prices we paid in 1914.
Take cut soles, for instance. In 1914
we paid 18 cents a pair, and now we
pay rs cents; calf skin then selling
for 25 and 80 cents, now brings
$1.18. Kid skin at 25 cents, is now
$1.35. We procured colored kid for
80 cents then, and now are obliged
to pay $3.50 to S1.60 for it. All find
ings are in the same proportion, at
least 800 per CEN higher.
"There is no indication of any re-
duction in these prices, judging from
industrial reports from experts who
are In a position to know conditions.
"It will be some months before
production will be adequate to sup
ply the active home consumption
and a fairly strong foreign demand
that naturally came with the end of
the war and the return of peace.
1--WE find some satisfaction, how
ever, in the fact that shoe produc-
ton is slowly on the increase, due
to more stable working conditions
and a much smaller labor turnover.
1--WE would not venture a predic-
ton that prices will go higher or
lower in 1921, but we feel very con-
fident in our own mind that there
will be no marked change toward
lower prices this year"

.OUIJA BOARD SENDSFOUR
BILLINGS WOMEN INSANE.

Ouija board mania has sent four
Billings women to the state hospital
for the insane at Warm Springs. The
first was adjudged insane early last
winter. The last was committed a
few days ago, after a hearing in the
district court. 1t is said that a large
number of women patients are now
confined in the institution as a re-
suit of ouija board manipulation.
Stationery and novelty stores have
great difficulty in maintaining a suf-
ficient supply of ouija boards to meet
the demand and in many homes a
session with the device has s%upplant-
ed a game of cards as evening recrea-
ton. Women are the largest pur-
chasers, it is stated, but many boards
have been sold to men. Clerks in
the stores remark that the boards
sold to men are almost invariably
purchased insthe early morning bust
ness hours, and the opinion is given
that the men do this to lessen the
chance of being Caught in the act"
and kidded.
The husband of the woman recent
ly committed died a few months ago.
Several days ago she called at the
county attorneys office and produced
a sheet of scrubbed notes which she
said were communications from the
dead. In these notes accusations of
a sensational nature were made
against acquaintance of the woman.

BUTTE IS HUNGRY:
COOKS ON STRIKE
ALL OF THE LARGER CAFES
AND RESTAURANTS CLOSE
AND BUTTE EATS LIGHT
Demand of Cooks and Walters for
Wage Increase Is Refused and
Strike Follows; 10000 People
Confronted With the Problem of
Where to Buy Sustenance.
Butte is hungry.

There is plenty of food in Butte;
there always is. But the cooks and
walters concludede that they needed
more money to checkmate the rising
cost of living, so they struck.
The owners of 95 out of the 100
cafes and restaurants which take
care of the wants of Butte's inner
man refused to meet their demands,
the workers quit and the eating
places closed.
There are 10000 men and women
who depend upon the restaurants for
their food. For the first day or two,
those of this class who got a few
sandwiches to to stave off the pangs
of hunger were in luck.
Then the owners of the cafes and
restaurants decided to open up the
cafeteria of Former Mayor w. H.
Davey, the largest concern of its kind
in the city. Men who had formerly
been chefs or waited on table and
who had gone up in the business,
donned aprons and went to work.
This institution is feeding prob
ably 5000 people.
A few of the smaller restaurants,
where the owners do most of the
work, remained open, but they could
only take care of a limited number
of the hungry hordes.
Only the plainest of food is being
served-just honest sustenance-the
kind that keeps the physical machin-
cry of the hired man going. Butte
eats light, and must wait for the
strikes settlement to get back to the
better things to eat.
There is talk that the butchers
and bakers and grocery clerks will
refuse to handle foodstuffs bought
by the community boarding house
of the restaurant owners. In that
event the situation may become criti-
cal.

intendent Frankie. In the election
held recently three pro-Franzke trus-
tees and three anti-Franzke trustees

for the Frankie candidates and the
total of all votes cast for the anti
Frankie candidates r exactly the
same.

Montana's disbursements in March
were four times greater than the re-
ceipts, less SIS 900, according to the
report of State Treasurer H. L. Hart,
for the month ending March 81. The
disbursements were largely in the
purchase of warrants and the balance
was cut materially.
The balance on hand February 90,
