4 ROYAL BAKING POWDER Absatntaly Paro No Alum—No Phosphate SHARPLY CRITICISE BRITISH EXCUSES London Newspapers Surprised at Meager Accounts; See Danger From Air By Associated Press London, June 3.—The British ad miralty account of the Jutland battle Is sharply criticised by the Daily Mall, which says: "The public will be somewhat sur prised by the lone British report which purports to give an account of the battle. After relating our losses it be comes curiously vague and contains what we never were accustomed to see In British naval reports, namely, ex cuses. f"We are told, for example, that the eApmy's battle fleet, aided by low visl- Wllty, avoided a prolonged action with 'our main forces. The fact appears, however, from this Involved and ob scure narrative, that the enemy en gaged part of our fleet with his whole strength and delivered a violent blow before our battleships were able to come into action. "How far our lack of airships con tributed to this result we are not in formed. But the world Is perfectly aware that British admirals work un der a tremendous handicap because they do not know the movements and dispositions of the enemy, while he knows theirs. Our safety at sea may well be bound up with the solution of the air problem." \ The Dally Graphic's naval Expert says: "It is quite clear that the main Ger man fleet was trying to come out and that our battle cruisers Intercepted them and held them up, and that they finally were forced to return to port. In other words, Admiral Jellicoe's grand fleet came up after our battle cruisers had held the enemy and the enemy retired. The German fleet ad mitted its inability to meet our grand fleet and is as securely locked up, de- i spite its success as it was before. "There remains, nevertheless, a 1 black page In our naval history In «o far as loss of splendid ships and splen did lives are concerned. It Is Illumin ed, however, by glorious fighting against vastly superior weight of metal, but the blow remains and it is a desperately heavy one." British Fleet Waiting For Eight German Craft Which Fled to Danish Waters By Associated Press London, June 3.—There is a report In circulation, which lacks confirma tion that eight German warships took refuge in Danish waters after the North Sea battle. It is said they were notified to leave within 24 hours and that the British fleet is waiting for them. The German dreadnaught Westfalen of 18,600 tons has been added to the steadily growing list of vessels sunk in the great naval engagement off the Jutland coast, according to wireless dispatch from Berlin which says the German Admiralty admits the loss of this warship. Additions earlier in the day were the German cruiser Elbing, displacing between 4,000 and 5,000 tons and the British destroyer Shark. Nearly all the men who manned the destroyer were lost. The latest British state ment regarding the outcome of the en gagement shows that the Admiralty views it as not at all unfavorable to the British. It is declared that they sought out the Germans, engaged their entire fleet with inferior forces and compelled them to put back to port and give up "any plan of action they may have contemplated." Losses Are About Kqual The losses on the British side esti mated at 5,000 may be nearly matched by those of the Germans if the latest reports on the number of German warships lost are confirmed. In the British casualty list are included Cap tain Prowse and the entire comple ment of the battle cruiser Queen Mary, which probably had between 900 and 950 men on board. Rear Admiral Horace Hood was lost with the battle cruiser Invincible. Two of the Zeppelins which played such an important part in the engage ment by keeping the Germans in formed of the British fleet's move ments were destroyed, according to reports brought in by Danish fisher men who declare that the entire crew of one of the airships perished when their craft was burned. Wounded men from the engage ment have begun to arrive in London, cheered by the crowds assembled to meet them. According to one report to-day Brit ish warships are watching off the Danish coast for the appearance of eight German warships which are be lieved to have taken refuge In Danish ports after the North Sea battle, being given 24 hours to leave bv the Danish authorities. Later Reports Show Loss of Germans to Be Greater; London Is More Cheerful By Associated Press London, June 3.—The British pub lic, which retired last night cast down by the first news of the North Sea battle as contained In the earlier Brit ish and German reports, took some comfort from the later British report published in the morning papers. This report, while it did not decrease the British losses except in destroyers, which were reduced from eleven to eight, shows the German losses were much greater than was at first esti mated. According to this latest account of the great naval engagement, the Ger man losses include two battleships, one battle cruiser, one light cruiser and six destroyers fcunk; two battle cruisers damaged and three battle ships hit. Naval writers also point out that the German fleet retired as soon as the main British fleet appeared on the scene, so that there is no ques tion about the superiority of son power remaining In British hands. The loss of Brltlih ships Is, of course, ad mittedly serious, while the loss in offi cers and men has cast a gloom over ttip vihole country, SATURDAY EVENING, | Inferior Fleet Engages Entire German Force By Associated Press London, June 3. —At the British | Admiralty to-day the following statement was made to the Asso- I dated Press: "We went out within enemy wa iters seeking a fight. Our inferior | fleet engaged the entire German battle fleet, forced them to return to harbor and to give up any plan 1 of action they may have contem plated." It was added that tyie latest re- S ports received from Admiral Jelll | coe and Vice Admiral Beatty had caused a feeling of elation among naval officers. Admiral Von Spee Avenged by Sinking of Invincible; Armament of Ships Sunk London, June 3. The British bat tle cruiser Invincible is by the the most Interesting ship sunk In the bat tle. Since the outbreak of the war she has taken part in almost every naval engagement fought. On August 28, 1914, she was one of the units In Vice-Admiral Beatty's suadron which won the battle of Helgoland Bight. On December 8, 1914, she was flagship of Admiral Sir F. C. D. Sturdee's fleet, which defeated and sank the German fleet under Admiral Count von Spee off the Falkland Islands. After this battle the Invincible re turned to England and refitted. She then loined the squadron which at tempted to force the passage of the Dardanelles. During the series of en gagements which took place with the Turkish forts she was badly damaged and forced to go to Gibraltar for re pairs. The Indefatigable and Queen Mary took part in the batles of Helgoland Bight and Dogger Bank binder Vice- Admiral Sir David Beatty. So far as is known, none of the other ships sunk—British and Ger man—has figured in previous naval engagements. The Queen Mary was a 27,000-tone battle cruiser. She was launched at Jarrow in 1912.

She was built at Elswick and completed in 1909. Her arma ment consisted of eight 12-inch guns, 16 four-inch guns and three torpedo tubes. Her speed was 26 knots an hour. Her dimensions were: Length. 530 feet; beam, 78% feet; draught 26 feet. Her engines developed 41,000- horsepower. Her complement consist ed of 780 men. The Defense was a 14,600-ton ar mored cruiser built at Pembroke and completed in 1909. Her armament consisted of four 9.2-inch guns. 10 7.5- inch guns and 16 12-pounders. She also carried five torpedo tubes. She had a speed of 23.5 knots. Her di mensions were: Length, 625 feet.; beam, 74 feet; draught, 2 8 feet. Her engines developed 27,570 horsepower. She carried a crew of 755 men. The Black Prince was a 13,550-ton armored cruiser built at Biackwell and completed in 1904.

Her dimensions were: Length, 480 feet; beam, 73 ;feet; draught, 2 7 feet. Her engines devel oped 23 93 9 horsepower and she car ried a crew of 704 men. Built Since War Started The destroyers Tipperary and Tur bulent have been completed since the war began. They were 1850-ton ves sels and carried crews of 160 men Their armament consisted of six 4-inch guns and three torpedo tubes. They had a speed of 22 knots and their di mensions were: Length, 320 feet; beam, 40 feet; draught, 14% feet. They were built at East Cowes. The destroyers Ardent, Fortune and Sparrow Hawk were all completed in 1913. They wero 9 35-ton vessels, with a speed of 30 knots. The Ardent car ried a crew of 141 men and the other two 129 men each. Their armament consisted of three 4-inch guns and two torpedo tubes. Their dimensions were: Length, 260 feet; beam, 28 feet; draught, 9.4 feet. The dimensions of the German ships reported lost are as follows: Pommern, a battleship of 13,040- tor.s, built at Stettin and completed 1907.

This ship was probably completed since the outbreak of the war. The German battle cruisers Derf flinger and Lutzow, ono of which the British officially announced last night was blown up are vessels of the same class. Each ship displaces 26,600 tons, is 689 feet long, 90 feet beam, with a draught of 27£ feet. The Derfflinger was completed in July, 1914, and the Lutzow a ycr.r later. The ships car ried eight 12-Inch guns, 12 six-Inch guns and 12 24-pounders. They were also equipped with four torpedo tubes each. The Derfflinger once before reported by the British to have been sunk when she participated in the engagement In the North Sea of January 24. 1915. A lator report said that she had been badly damaged in the tight und dry ducked at Hamburg for repairs. MAIN FLEET HIT CRUISER SQUAD Small British Force Far Out numbered; Germans Flee Before Jellicoe Arrives By Associated Press London, Friday, June 2, 11.07 P. M. (delayed In transmission). Careful comparison of the British and German reports of the sea fight off the Danish coast seem to Indicate that Vice- Admiral Sir David Beatty's cruiser squadron camo in contact with the | German main fleet, or possibly, in the j first instance, a portion of that force. Although aware tliat he was oppos ing a stronger force than his own, the official statements make it appear, na val observers say that Vice-Admiral Beatty courageously engaged the Ger mans. Later, presumably, the whole German fleet appeared. Vice-Admiral Beatty was then completely outnum bered, and before Admiral Jellicoe's main fleet was able to get into action the Germans made oft. British naval experts comment on the apparently fair and impartial nature of both the German and British official state ment#. It is believed the German losses were greater than was admitted in the official reports, but it is notice able that the German communication confessed to more serious losses than were given in the British report. 7,500 Men i/ost According to estimates made here, which, In the absence of official figures, j can only he conjectural, the British losses in men must be somewhere in the neighborhood of 5,000. It is simi larly estimated that the German losses were at least between 2,000 and 3,000 men. No attempt is made here to minimize the seriousness of the British losses in ships and men and that, according to present information, the Germans had the best of the action. Strong hopes are entertained, however, that later reports may minimize the seriousness of this British naval setback. The greatest regret is felt here over the loss of the battle cruiser Queen Mary, which was one of the show ships of the British navy. She was only completed at Jarrow in 1913. Her crew numbered about 1,000 men. The other cruisers were older vessels. Captain of British Trawler Gives Graphic Description of Great Naval Battle Ymuiden, Holland, June 3. A graphic description of the great naval battle off the coast of Jutland was given to-day by Captain Thomas Punt of the British trawler John Brown, which was engaged In taking sound ings in the vicinity of the fight. Cap tair Punt said: "The battle began at 4:15 p. m. on Wednesday and lasted until 11 o'clock at night. It extended over an area reaching from Longitude 56.8: Lati tude 6.25 to Longitude 55.50 to Lati tude 5.50 (these measurements place the scene of the battle about 50 miles due west of The Horn running north ward to the Little Fisher bank). , "At 2 o'clock on Wednesday after noon 1 saw a great fleet of fifty ships of different, kinds, apparently German, cruising from the southeast to the northeast. Two hours later another great fleet, evidently British appeared suddenly from the northeast, and obviously atempted to cut off the re treat of the Germans. The weather was misty, making it difficult to dis tinguish the outlines of the ships. "At 4:15 p. m. the first gun shot came from about two miles away. Fifteen minutes later there were more shots and in a few moments there was constant and heavy firing. Many sail ing ships passed through the firing line "The British ships did not seem to be of as heavy tonnage as the Ger mans. They were reinforced by larger vessels which I observed to come up as it was getting darker. The German flee' then began to retire and as they were withdrawing I saw two big columns of smoke, evidently some vessels which had been badly hit. The next moment I observed two large vessels, one of either fleet, burning. "The British fleet pursued the Ger mans to Longitude 56.40 and Latitude 5.50 when it noticed two torpedo de stroyers and three submarines dash ins toward it at full speed, apparently heralding further reinforcements for the Germans. The British ships then drew off." Dane Captain Says Sky Was Filled With Smoke and Shells Churned Sea White Copenhagen, June 3. The cap tain of the Danish steamer Naesbog was 95 miles west of Cape Honstholm on the Northwest coast of Jutland, a few small British warships appeared, pursued by the German fleet. Sud denly the British warships turned and steamed westward, violently shelled. In a few minutes a large number of British dreadnaught cruisers appeared from the north and west. "The British then began attacking the German ships which were rein forced by a large number of ships from the south along the west coast of Jutland. A violent fight com menced. The sky seemed filled with smoke and the sea was in a state of uproar. Shells fell around my steamer although we were sevefal miles away. "During the fight the cannonading was so violent that our crew could not stand on deck. We saw several large warships sunk but I am unable to say whether they were British or Ger man. "At last the German fleet withdrew southward, pursued by the British while several more British warships appeared coming from the westward. The German fleet was divided into two parts, one of which escaped. The fate of the other fleet I do not know." Fraaenlob Sank in Ten Minutes After Being Hit; British Far Outnumbered The Hook, Holland, via London, June 3, 9:30 A. M. The tugboat Thames has arrived here with eight men of the crew of the German cruiser Frauenlob, which was sunk in the naval battle off Jutland. They say that the warship went to the bot tom ten minutes after she was struck. Nothing is known of the fate of the re mainder of the crew of 350. One of the survivors of the Frauen lob, a midshipman named Stolzman, said he believed he and his com panions who were brought here were the only men to escape. He reported that his ship was fighting from fi o'clock in the evening until 1 o'clock In the morning. At that time she was struck by a torpedo and sank. The men jumped into the sea, but only a few succeeded in reaching rafts. Other survivors say the Hritish were hopelessly outnumbered by the Germans who had their latest dread nnoghts in action and thought the British were easy prey. Suddenly the British grand fleet came up and the Germans made a running fight of It.

The Berlin newspapers, commenting the naval battle off Jutland, declare that the German navy longed fervently for this sea battle for twenty-two months. Ad miral von Hofe describes the battle in the following manner: "The German high seas fleet was steaming northward with its scouts pushed forward in all directions when the British high seas fleet appeared from the direction of Scotland in full strength and confident that it was about to gain the mastery of the North Sea. Great Britain's, allies had clearly pointed out the inadequacy of her blockade and demanded stronger pres sure. "Great Britain's first step was to send out the fleet, but, as in the action of January, 1915, German skill and accurate firing stood the test, in squad ron action against the heavy caliber guns of the British dreadnaughts. Torpedoboats Engaged First "The German torpedo flotillas first successfully attacked the British ships of line. Several engagements took place and the British used their superiority in an attempt to cut off the i retreat of the Germans to the south with their fastest and strongest armed units. They also attacked continuously during the night by sudden dashes of their torpedo flotillas. That the Ger man torpedo defenses worked splen didly is shown by the heavy losses In curred by the British flotillas." Captain von Kuhl Jetter. writing in the T>okal Anzelger, estimates the total | German losses at 23,000 tons and the British losses at 133,000 tons, with the i loss in big ships at 15,000 tons for the , Germans and 103,000 for the British. Severe Blow to British "Great Britain, since the beginning I of the war," says Captain Jetter, "has; used her old vessels in the distant j t/ioaters of the war and has also lost a | number of them. This permits the j conclusion that the home fleet was 1 composed of only thfc latest and best ships. The German sailors have never , underestimated the British fleet, but have considered It the best of all ex cept the Germans'. To-day we know that wo can accomplish more than the British and that Great Britain Is not what she believed herself to be—ruler | of the seas."
