THURSDAY EVENING,
GREATEST OF SEA
FIGHTS THIS YEAR
German Naval Critic Claims'
His Country Has Won
on Ocean
Berlin. July 29. Captain Perslus,
the naval critic of the Berliner Tage
blatt, has written the following review
of naval operations during the second
year of the war, from the German
viewpoint, for the Associated Press:
"It seemed likely that the second
year of the war would end without a
sea fight of first magnitude but 31
brought a gratifying proof that our
great battleships were not built in vain
and that our fleet, despite seeming in
activity, was quietly and assiduously
preparing itself for a blow against the
strongest sea power in the world. We
still hear the question asked as to
who was the real victor In the fight off
Skagerrak. A comparison of the clear
concise reports of the German Admir
alty staff with Admiral Jelllcoe's long
winded reports, which contain only a
few facts, leaves no doubt that the
German official account gives a thor
oughly truthful description of the bat
tle. The English version, with its bar
renness of facts, labors in vain to con
ceal its improbability.
"Whatever the final judgment is of
the battle in detail the loss of British
prestige at sea and the pronounced
success of our fleet remain indisput
able if only the British losses in men
and ships are considered. The waves
of the North Sea swallowed 6,104
British seamen and 117,150 gross reg
istered tons of shipping while the Ger
man losses were 2,414 men and 60,720
tons. These figures were officially
published on both the German and
British sides.
"Numberless authorities, both hos
tile and neutral, have expressed opin
ions on the batle but the German peo
ple will not permit themselves to be
Influenced by any foreign judgment
They understand alone how proud they
may be of a navy whose quality and
honor have stood the test of battle
with the strongest sea power. They
know that Chancellor von Bethmann-
Hollweg rightly expressed the general
sentiment in his speech in the Reichs
tog on June 5 when he said: 'This vic
tory too shall not make us vainglor
ious. We know that England is not
subdued or conquered by this battle.'
"By the side of the battle of the
Skagerrak the other events in the sec
ond year of the war, navally speaking,
pale into insignificance. In the first
year the activity of German subma
rines aroused general astonishment.
In the second year their activity was
sharply circumscribed but nevertheless
their successes in war upon commerce
were considerable in comparison with
those of the first year.
"On the other hand the destruction
of warships bv submarines occurred
but seldom. The U-27 destroyed an
English protected cruiser in the North
Sea on August 10, 1915. Another of
our boats sank the French armored
cruiser Admiral Charnier In the east
ern Mediterranean on February 8,1916.
A number of minor war vessels were
also sunk.
"English submarines did some dam
age to German commerce in the Baltic
and succeeded in torpedoing several of
our warships like the armored cruiser
Prince Adalbert. October 23; Undine,
November 7, and Bremen, December
17.
"Special attention is merited by the
bold flights of our marine aircraft and
their important scout work in the
North Sea and Baltic. Attacks were
made against fortified places on Eng
land's east coast and the English were
able to destroy only two German air
ships, No. 15 on April 1 and No. 7
on May 4. Within a few hours our air
ships were able to reconnoiter the en
tire North Sea and they did valuable
service in the battle off Skagerrak.
Marine aeroplanes also did excellent ,
work and especially distinguished
themselves in the Baltic where they i
were of the utmost and especially dis- I
tingulshed themselves In the Baltic i
where they were of the utmost value
in various ways. On several occasions 1
they were able even to take the of- !
fensive with success, damaging war- !
ships with bombs and capturing mar
chantmen.
"In the Black Sea and the Mediter- j
ranean German submarines, working |
with those of Austria-Hungary, oper- j
ated successfully in war against com- ;
merce and destroyed numerous trans- !
ports laden with troops and war ma
terial. In the Black Sea the Yawuz
Sultan Selim, formerly the German !
cruiser Goeben, and the Midullu, for- !
merly the German cruiser Breslau,
bombarded Rusian fortified towns on I
the Crimean coast at various times and I
damaged Russian commerce.
"The glorious deeds of several Ger- I
man auxiliary cruisers remain to be I
mentioned. The Moewe, under the!
command of Count von Dohna, made a
successful raid into the Atlantic in
January and February. The Appam,
one of the steamers captured by It,
carried the passengers and crew of
other captured merchantmen to the
United States under the command of
Lieutenant Berg. The Moewe herself;
made her home port safely on March |
4, laden with booty.
"The auxiliary cruisers Meteor and i
Greif destroyed on August 7 and Feb- 1
ruary 29 respectively, the much 1
stronger armed British auxiliaries
Ramsey and Alcantara.
"On the threshold of the third year |
of the war it remains to be pointed
out that the German navy has hitherto 1
fulfilled its chief task of keeping the 1
enemy from German coasts and, be- !
yond this, has scored a series of suc
cesses that have excelled our most can
guine expectations. The German peo
ple do not ignore the fact that British
sea power still dominates the seas but
nevertheless they look with confidence
upon their navy. They expect it to
show itself able and willing to win vic
tories In the third year of the war as it
has done hitherto and thus contribute
its part toward the general aim of se
curing an honorable peace."

USES OF RIVER
Playground Expert Tells Har
rlsburg to Make Most of
Susquehanna "Basin"
'Harrisburg has gone far in advance
of most cities of its size in making the
best uso of its river basin fdr recre
ational purposes but It still has r. long
way to go to get maximum results
from its splendid environment," de
clared Victor R. Manning, field secre
tary of the Playgrounds and Recre
ation Association of America, prior to
his departure for New York.
Mr. Manning made a cursory survey
of Harrisburg, its playgrounds, recre
ational facilities preliminary to the
more intensive inspection that is to be
made by T. S. Settle in the Fall. The
whole inspection problem, is the result
of the joint efforts of the school board
and Social Workers' Club to improve
the city's community center facilities
after the summer playground season
closes.
Mr. Manning last evening was a
guest of honor at a big watermelon
feast at the McCormick's island camp.
He's telling yet of the fun he had.
The Suskuehanna basin, however,
attracted the eiye of the visiting play
ground expert.
"Your river basin is remarkable by
day: it Is wonderful by night when
the lights along the wall are all aglow.
our city has done wonders In the way
of getting the best possible use of your
water front; unlike many other cities,
it is not given over to commercial in
terests and enteprise. But you've still
very far to go to make the most of it.
The permanent organization of the
boatmen and other river enthusiasts is
a great step in the right direction.
Eventually you'll get the proper recog
nition from the proper authorities.
"Harrisburg's playground and park
system is remarkably well conducted;
I doubt if the recreational work could
be handled -more efficiently. But you
ing steetaoinrd taodlo tantantoantan
must not stop; your city must keep
stepping along to keep pace with the
times!"
THE TKST OF AFFECTION
Wife (pleadingly)—l'm afraid,
Oliver, you do not love me any more—
at least not so much as you used to.
Husband—Why? Wife—Because you
always let me get up to light the fire
now. Husband—Nonsense, my dear!
Your getting un to light the fire makes
me love you all the more!
