Germans Are Victors In History's Great-
est Naval Battle—Teuton Losses In-
clude Three Cruisers and Several
Small Torpedo Boat Destroyers
London.—Picking Its way from Its
base in the Kiel canal, the German
high sea lleet emerged Into the North
Bea, and off the coast of Jutland en-
gaged the British fleet throughout the
afternoon and night in what probably
was the greatset naval battle In his-
tory so far as tonnage engaged and
tonnage destroyed is concerned.
Admitted Losses.
When the battle ended Great Britain
tad lost the battle cruisers Queen
Mary, Indefatigable and Invincible,
the cruisers Defence, Black Prince
and Warrior and eight torpedo boat
destroyers, while the Carman buitle-
6bip Poiumern had been sent to the
bottom by a torpedo and the cruiser
Westfalen sunk by the British gun-
lire In addition several German tor-
pedo craft were missing and the small
cruiser Frauenlob had last been seen
badly llsWd and was believed to have
gone to the bottom. These losses have
all been admitted by Great Britain
and Germany. The Germans also lost
a submarine and two Zeppelins.
Great Britain admits the loss of bat-
tle cruisers auU cruisers with a tou-
nage of 114.S10.
Casualties Are Heavy.
The losses to the British sido, esti-
mated at nearly 5,000, w ere about half
those of the Germans, If the latest re-

ships lost are confirmed. In the Brit-
ish casualty list are included Captain
Prowse and the entire complement of
the battle cruiser Queen Mary, which
probably had been 900 and 950 men
on board. Hear Admiral Horace Hood;
wa lost with the battle cruiser Invin- J
Cible.
From the advices thus far made pub-,
lie it would appear that the greatestj
naval battle in history has taken j
place. Apparently the battle was not
fought to a point to determine mas-
tery of the seas for the loss will not
impair the strength of either fleet to
a vital extent.
The scene of battle was In the east-j
em waters of the North ^ea. Skag
erak Is an arm of the North sea be J
tween Norway and Denmark. It is ap-
parent the battle was fought off the
coast of Denmark. From there to
Helgoland, the main German base in
tiie North sea is about 100 mile*.
Previous English Losses.
Prior to this battle Great Britain
had lost during the course of the war
ten battleships, eleven cruisers and
various smaller craft. Germany had
lost eighteen cruisers, nineteen auxil-
iary cruisers, chiefly converted pas-
senger liners, anu numerous smaller
vessels.
Since the beginning of the war Brit-
ish cruisers and destroyers have pa-
trolled day and night the approaches
to the German fleets base in the bay
formed by the mouths of the Elbe and
the Weser, protected by the mighty
fortiflcations of Wilheimshaven on the
south, on the north by the supposedly
impregnable defenses of the Kiel
canal and guarded by the outlying is-
land of Helgoland. Until the engage-
ment that has just occurred, however,
no German fleet has put forth In force
to necessitate the giving of the alarm
to the British main fleet that its foe
was coming out to give battle.
British Rendezvous Secret.
The rendezvous of the British battle
fleet has been a secret, but Is gener-
ally believed to have been in the Ork-
ney islands, north of Scotland.
The long months of watchful wait-
ing by the British, however, were
broken into by two naval engagements
In which comparatively small squad
rons of German warships were in-
volved, and in both of which the Brit-
ish were victorious. One was on Au-
gust 18, 191-4, and the other on Jan-
uary 24, 1915.
The Queen Mary and the Indefatig-
able were batle cruisers of 27,000 and
18,750 tons displacement, respectively.
The Queen Mary was completed In
1913. She carried eight 13-5-inch
guns.
The Indefatigable was 578 feet long
and was equipped with eight 12-inch
guns. Both carried complements of
between 900 and 50. The Queen Mary
cost about $10,000,000 while the Inde-
fatigable cost about $8,000,000.
Dreadnaught Marlborough.
The British dreadnaught Marl-
borugh was built at Davenport in
1914, displaced 25,000 tons, was 620
feet long and carried ten 13-5-inch
guns, twelve 6-inch guns and a num-
ber of smaller arms.
The Invincible was laid down in
1907. She displaced 17,250 tons and
her normal complement was 731. She
carried a main battery of eight 12-
Inch guns.
The Defence was built In 1907, dis-
placed 14,600 tons and ordinarily car-
ried 755 men. Her length wa3 526
feet and her largest guns were four
of 9.2 Inches.
The Black Prince was built In 1904,
displaced 13,550 tons and carried 704
men. She was 480 feet long and her
principal armament was six 9-2 and
ten 6-inch guns.
The German batleshlp Pommern
displaced 12,997 tons. She was 398
feet long, was built in 1907 at a cost
of about $6,000,000. She carried 729
officers and men. Her main armament
consisted of four 11-inch guns.
ARKANSAS SWEEP Br STORM
ESTIMATED DEATH LIST WILL
REACH FIFTY.
Judsonia a Town of 800 People, Re-
Ports Twenty-Five Dead and
Many Injured.
Ditle Rock.—At least fifty persons
are believed to be dead and HBO in-
jured in a series of tornadoes that
ravaged at least ten counties in Ar-
kansas.
The greatest destruction waB
wrought at Judsonia, a town of about
bOO inhabitants about fifty miles north-
east of Little Hock, on the Iron Moun-
tain railroad. One-third of the town
was destroyed. Twenty-five bodiea
und fifty injured have been recovered
from the debris.
The dispatcher's office of the Iron
Mountain railroad in Little Kock re-
ceived a message that eighteen per-
sons had been killed and many injured
it Heber Springs, on the Missouri &
j North Arkansas railroad, in northern
| Arkansas.
Three white persons and two ne-
j groes were killed in Dallas county, in
the south-central part of the state.
At Hot Springs four were killed and
eight injured. ^
Three are known to be dead near
Cabot, between L.itle Rock and Jud-
sonia.
A white woman was killed and fif-
teen were injured at Greenland, in
j Washington county, in the northwest-
ern portion of the state.
' At Morrilton, forty miles northwest
I of Litle Rock, two negroes were killed,
a negress was blown away and has
not been found aud a white woman
and several children were injured.
Only the extreme southern and east-
ern portions of the state appears to
have escaped entirely.
In Pulaski county, in which Little
Rock is situated, it is estimated that
about forty persons were injured.
Most of them were negroes, and some
will die. Only the extreme western
portion of the city suffered, although
the storm did heavy damage on all
Sides of It.
The meager reports indicate that
the property damage throughout the
state will be enormous.

London Is Satisfied,
I^ondon. — Captain William Hall,
chief of the Intelligence division of
the admiralty, authorized the Associ-
ated Press to say:
"Tho report of the loss of the Marl-
borough and Warsprlte Is absolutely
untrue. Both of these dreadnaught*
are safe In the harbor.
"The German report that the entire
British battle fleet was engaged Is
equally untrue. A portion of the Brit-
ish fleet, much inferior to tho total
battle fleet of the Germans, engaged
that fleet and drove It back into Its
harbor. The British control the North
London.—The long expected gen-
eral offensive of the Russians against
the Teutonic allies seemingly has be
gun. From both Petrograd and Vien-
na come reports that the Russians
are actively engaged over a front
from the Pripet river, east of Brest-
Litovsk to the Roumanian frontier—
u distance of about 260 miles.
The Russians everywhere are using
large numbers of guns and men and,
according to Petrograd, have achieevd
successes on many important sectors,
taking 13,000 prisoners and a number
of guns aud destroying or capturing
Teuton positions.
Along the Bessarabian front, in the
Dniester region along the lower Stripa
and in Volhynia the Russian attacks
have been particularly violent. In the
region of Olyka in the one of the
Volynian fortress triangle the Russian
guns have heavily shelled a front of
more than lifteen miles in length held
by the Austrian Archduke Joseph Fer-
dinand.
Around Verdun bad weather has set
in anu as a result the infantry of both
sides have kept to their trenches and
only bombardments have taken place.
No new changes in position are re-
corded. Around Vaux and Damloup,
northeast o£ Verdun, the bombard-
ment has continued with considerable
intensity, while to the west of the
Meuse the shelling has been only in-
termitent.
On the remainder of the front in
France except, around Ypres, the sit>
uatlon is reported quiet. About Ypres,
however, the Germans and Canadians
are continuing the violent fighting that
has been in progress since last week,
when the Germans under a terrific
rain of shells, captured Canadian posi-
tions, which later were retaken in
hand-to-hand and bombing encounters.
Returning to the attack Sunday the
Germans again forced the Canadians
to relinquish the buTk of the recap-
tured positions, but the Canadians
are disputing strenuously the efforts
of the Teutons to oust them from the
remainder of the positions. Vienna
reports that notwithstanding the
sturdy resistance of the Italians, the
Austrians have made a further ad-
vance Into Italy in the Cenglo zone
near Asigo. The town of Cesiana and
BOO prisoners, three cannon and eleven
machine guns and 126 bomb throwers
were captured by the Austrians.
Rome admits the retirement of tho
Italians In the Cengio zone but says
that in the Dalgone valley, the La
garlna valley and on the Posnla front
Austrian attacks were repulsed with
heavy losses.

The first cutting of alfalfa through-

a ton to the acre. The dry weather
did very little damage. The heavy

Recipe or Pattern?
Stella called on her newly married

were full of fashion papers and cook-

"Hallo!" she exclaimed. "What are
you going to make?"
"Some cakes," replied the young
wife proudly.
"But why have you got out those
fashion papers as well as the cookery
books?"
"You see," confessed Bella, rather
shamefacedly. "I'm a bit of a novice
at cooking. Tell me, do you make
cakes from a recipe or a pattern?"—

Concentrated
Satisfaction
A great many former users
of tea and coffee have learned
that there is a pure food
beverage made from wheat,
which has a delightful flavor.
It never exacts of its users
the tribute of sleeplessness,
heart-flutter, headache and
other ills often caused by the
drug, caffeine, in coffee and
tea.
Instant
Postum
suggests the snappy flavor of
mild java coffee, but is abso-
lutely free from caffeine or
any harmful ingredient In-
stant Postum is in con-
densed, soluble form, and
wonderfully convenient for
the home—for the picnic—
for travel—everywhere.
If tea or coffee interferes
with comfort or success, as
it does for many users, try a
shift to Postum.
