British and German Fleets Come Together off the Coast of Jutland. : London, June 2.—A naval bat- tle—probably the greatest in his- tory—was fought Wednesday in the North Sea off the coast of Jutland between the British and German high-sea fleets, and it re-| sulted in a vietory for the Ger- mans, The scene of the battle was in the eastern waters of the North Sea. It is probable that the fleet was on dhe of the excursions into the North Sea which it has taken from time to time during the war | and met, whether or not by design, with the British fleet. Skagerrak is an arm of the} North Sea between Norway and , Denmark. The point referred to in the official German statement | as Horn Riff probably is the reef | of the horn on the southwestern extremity of Denmark, This ‘would indicate that the battle was fought off the coast of Denmark. | v From the reef to the Helgoland, the main German base in the North Sea, is about 100 miles. i Previous to this battle Great! Britain had lost during the war 10} battleships, 11 cruisers and var-| ious smaller craft. Germany had lost 18 cruisers, 19 auxilliary | cruisers, chiefly converted pas- senger liners, and numerous small- | er vessels, .. London and Berlin do not agree | on the losses on either side but the | latest reports give the lesses about | as follows: | British: Battle cruisers Queen | Mary, Indefatigable and“ Invine- | ible: eruisers Defense, Black Prince and) Warrior; destroyers | Tipperary, Turbulent, Fortune, | Ardent.and Sparrowhawk and lat- | er reports may inerease this list.

El Paso, Tex., June 5.—Fresh reports have been received here that Francisco Villa is dead, hav- ing been shot by his own men, but the rumors are not credited. Villa is believed to be at Nievas, a small town near Rasorio and Parral. The bandit chief is said to have recovered from his wound, but will be lame the rest of his life. General Luis Herrera, com- mander of a Carranzista army, passed the second reading of the|- ~Cerman: One battleship, two cruisers and numerous destroyers are reported sunk, but no names are given. The announcement adds that, of three German battle cruisers, eith- er the Derfflinger or Lutzow was blown up; another was seen to have been disabled and a third to be seriously damaged. - One German light cruiser and six German torpedo-boat destroy- ers were sunk and at least two ‘more light cruisers were disabled. The losses in the engagement must have been extremely heavy. The cruiser Indefatigable, for in- stance, from which the German Admiralty reports only two men were saved, probably had more than 900 men on board, and others of the vessels sunk carried com-. plements of men equally or nearly as large. 29 KILLED IN STORM Series of Tornadoes Sweep Ar-! kansas Causing Great Loss of Life. Little Rock, Ark. June Fifty-nine persons have been re-| ported dead and more than a hun-} dred injured in a series of torna- does that swept Arkansas this af- ternoon. All means of communication are | erippled and it is feared the list of dead and injured will be greatly | increased by later reports. | The Little Rock dispatcher’s of- 5.— | fice of the Iron Mountain Rail- road received a report that 18 per- sons had been killed at Judsonia, White County, and that there are 11 dead at Heber Springs. Im- mediately after this report was received the wires failed. Other means of communication was cut off. Wire service is almost paralyzed throughout the State and many hours probably will elapse before the full extent of the storm is known.

Haynes, GEN, CLARK THE FIRST TO TAKE NEW OATH. Missouri National Guard the First to Comply. With New Laws. . at Jefferson City, June 4.—That the new federalization act radi- cally changes the status of the Missouri national guard is shown by an analysis of the application of the new code by Adjutant Gen- eral John B. O’Meara. The-first thing that was done was the issuance of an executive order hy.Governor Major in ac- cordance with the terms of the law, the effeet of which is the transfer of the state troops to the federal service, Under this order Brigadier General Harvey C. Clark, commander of the N. G. M., was the first officer to take the oath. General O’Meara’s analysis of the law, indicating the changed conditions: under which the na- tional guard will operate in the future follows in part: : “Tmmediately upon receipt of the telegram advising -that the president had signed the new militia bill, the governor issued an E./executive order, the effect of which was to transfer the national guard to the federal service. In anticipation of the new law go- ing into effect the new form of enlistment oath had already been placed in the hands of the various organizations and it is expected that all officers and men will sign the new oath which makes them a part of the new federal army, immediately. General Clark, com- manding the national guard of Missouri, was the first officer to in take the new oath and Missouri has been the first state in the at! Tmion to comply with the new law. “The new federalization act radically changes the status of the State troops. They are now placed direetly under the orders of the war departthent. The department prescribes the system of disci- pline and drill. The new Dill pro- vides pay for all officers and en- listed men. Officers of the grade of captain and higher grades are paid $500 a year. Enlisted men receive one-fourth the pay of like grade in the regular army and are required .to attend forty-eight drills each year.’’ E, a McAdoo to Quit Cabinet. Chicago, June 5.—Seeretary of the Treasury William G. MeAdoo, President Wilson’s son-in-law, is slated to become chairman of the democratic national committee and assume active management of the president’s campaign for re- election, This being true, Mr. Me- Adoo will resign as secretary of the treasury immediately upon his election to the chairmanship. This information eame directly from Washington today and is understood to reflect the wishes of the administration. The serious obstacle in the way of successful culmination of this plan, it~is understood would be a] ohjection of the national commit- fee to going outside its own mem- tership to get-a chairman, al- though preeedent the other way was established only four years ago. A Fred B. Lyneh of Minnesota, it is now known, will not be a candi- date for national chairman and will not permit the use of his name in connection with the place. — of “The Canal Open Forever.’’ New York, June 1.—Maj. Gen. George W. Goethals, governor of the Panama Canal Zone, arrived today from his post on the United States fruit steamer Santa Marta to attend the fortieth reunion of his class at West Point and the graduation of his son, Thomas R. Goethals, at the medical school of Harvard University. General Goethals said he _be- lieved that the Panama Canal never would be closed again to navigation. “The backbone of the slides has been broken,’’ he said, ‘‘and fur- ther slides will be washed down by the floods in the rainy season.’’ Brandeis Takes Oath. 0. ried out and the graves of depart- ed Odd Fellows decorated.
