Suddenly we heard an explosion not far
from and we realized that the railroad
line had been blown up by explosion.

there directing a battery of camera men. The

Meanwhile tidal wave of Japanese planes,

The last great sea battle In
which capital fleets were en-
gagged was the battle of Jutiand,
fought May 81, 1916, in the first
World War.
Although the British grand
fleet commanded by Admiral
Sir John Jellicoe suffered heav-
ier losses than the German high
sea fleet commanded by Ad-
miral Reinhard Scheer, the ulti-
mate result was a victory for the
British, since the Germans re-
tired from the high seas, leaving
the British in undisputed mas
terry.
British losses were three bat
tie cruisers-the Indefatigable,
the Queen Mary and Invincible,
three cruisers and eight torpedo
craft with total casualties OF
6,274 men.
German losses were one bat
tleship, the Pommern; a battle
cruiser, the Lutzow; four light
cruisers and five torpedo craft
with total casualties of 2,545
men.
The German fleet had con-
sisted of 10 vessels and the
British had 149. One British of

many Of the fatalities have been
persons from outside the county.
Yet, even taking that fact into
consideration, it was pointed
out by the Accident Prevention
Bureau of the sheriffs office
the fatal accident rate in this
county is far and away greater
than that of other counties in
the Detroit metropolitan area.
Oakland county with a popula-
ton of 1870, 468 had $50 fatals or
a rate of 59:04. Wayne county
with a population of 2,015, 1923
had total of 463 fatals and a
rate of 22.97. Monroe county
with a population of only $3.50
had 81 accidents which jumped
its rate TO 81 per thousand but
that was due also TO the large
volume of traffic from outside
of the county and the .ow popu-
lation figure. Washtenaw coun-
ty with a population Of oO,8l0
had a total of SO accidents in
l94l and q rate of $3.50.
Increases in the number Of
fatals were reported in every
county of the Detroit metropol-
itan area. Macomb had a jump
of 90, Oakland one Of SO; Mon

ficer in the action was the Duke
of York, who now is King
George vi.
No further major sea battles
were fought during the World
War and the Germans remained
in the safety of Helgoland Blight
until the final days of the con-
flict. Shortly before the ARMS
tice, Admiral Scheer ordered
the fleet TO sea to break the
blockade" but the crews refused
to weigh anchor. The German
fleet finally was surrendered
but was scuttled by the Ger
mans as they were delivering il
TO the British base of Scapa
Flow.
Only isolated actions involv-
ing huge bait eships have been
fought in this war. Last year
the new German battleship Bis
marck sank the largest warship
af oat, The Hood, but the Brit
ish in swift vengeance surround
ed the Bismarck in the North
Atlantic and sank her.
Other losses of British and
United States battleships have
been from torpedo-carrying
planes, submarines and the
Pearl Harbor bombing.

Allied and japanese warships
fought to the death today in
mammoth five-day-old battle IN
the Coral Sea, northeast of Aus
tralia, in which American, Brit
ish and Australian gunners have
already sunk or crippled at least
l3 enemy warships.
United Nations headquarters
announced that nine Japanese
warships were sunk, including
an aircraft carrier. two cruisers,
two destroyers and four gun
boats.
Four other enemy warships
and three non combat vessels
were damaged.
The fateful struggle, still rag
ing, appeared by all accounts to
be the greatest naval battle Of
the new World War.

Australian cruiser of the 10, 600

don Naval observers declared
today that from the informa-
ton at hand the battle of Aus
tralia apparently resulted from
interception of a Japanese inVa-
sion convoy bound from Rabaul
or the Solomon Islands south to
the New Hebrides or New Gale
donia.
One source expressed belief
that the present battle repre-
sented a final judgment and
much elaboration on both sides.
The japanese recently have
been building up nava. strength
at Rabaul," he said. There Is
no doubt that tn Allied Com
mand, with daily reconnaissance
reports at hand, anticipated the
japanese strength and move.
1T can be assumed that,
demonstrating a first-class Of
fensive spirit, the Americans
have tried to intercept and deS-
troy japanese invasion convoy.
