§ | : er Wiesbaden was sunk by gun PRESIDENT CALVI OF THE U. P. HERE To Look Over the Ground Before Going to Salt Lake to Close Up Affairs. NO SUCCESSOR TO WARE YET President Calvin, the new executive head of the Union Pacific, is in the city. He arrived Friday morning, his private car attached to the Illinois Central train from Chicago. He will remain in the city until Sunday, when he will go west, close up his official and business affairs in Salt Lake City, returning to Omaha shortly prior to July 1, at which time he will assume the duties of president of the Union Pacific, According to President Calvin, his stop in Omaha at this time is to con- fer with President Mohler, who re- signed, and who is succeeded by Mr. Calvin, No General Manager Yet. Asked if he had decided upon the successor to General Manager Ware, who has resigned, Mr. Calvin said: “Not yet; I will not do this until after a conference with Mr. Mohler, At this time [ cannot say who will be the general manager of the road. Up to this time I have not considered an appointment.” As to other changes that within the appointive scope of the president of the Union Pacific, Mr, Calvin has not given them considera- tion. President Calvin asserts that he does not co.ae to the Union Pacific as a stranger, nor to Omaha as a stranger, e has frequently been here and is acquainted with numerous of the older business men, He was here as an official of the Union Pa- cific during the regime of S. H. H. Clarke, president. To Bring Family Here, The family of President Calvin will come to Omaha to reside, but prob- ably not until some time later than {uly 1. It will take some time to reak up his home in Salt Lake City and get located here. As to changes in the polic{ of the ?eutwn of the Union Pacific, Mr. lvin asseried that there is nothing to say at this time, The new president of the Union Pacific is slightly past middle age, 'mooth shaven, and his hair well tinged with le He is about middle hctlhl and of rather stocky build.

Never before have two naval forces of such magnitude as the British and German high sea fleets engaged in combat. But apparently the battle was not fought out to a point to de- termine mastery of the seas, for the losses, serious as they are, reported to have been will not impair the strength of either fleet to a vital ex- tent. The scene of the battle was in the eastern waters of the North Sea. It is probable the German fleet on one 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.

THE BEE: and ious smaller craft. Germany had lost eighteen cruisers, nineteen auxiliary cruisers, chiefly converted passenger liners, and numerous small- er vessels, Since the beginning of the war British cruisers and destroyers have patrolled during day and night the approaches to the German base, in the bay formed by the mouths of the Elbe and the Weser, protected by the mighty fortifications of Wil- helmshaven on the south and on the north by the supposedly impreg- nable defenses of the Kiel canal and flnrded by the outlying island of elgoland. Until the engagement that has just occurred, however, no German fleet has put forth in force to necessitate the giving of the alarm to the British main flret. News of the engagement was held back by the British authorities, pos- sibly pending the return home of the fleet and the first word received of the battle came by wireless from Berlin, by which means the Germans are able to escape the censorship over cable lines, Losses Are Enormous. The losses in the engagement must have been extremely heavy. The bat- tle cruiser Indefatigable, for instance, from which the German admiralty re- ports only two men were saved, yrob- ably had more than 900 men on board others of the vessels sunk cars ried complements of men equally or nearly as large. The dreadnaught Warsprite was a sister ship of the Queen Elizabeth, both of which played a pmminent g‘n in the attempt of the British editerranean fleet to force the Dar- danelles, The Warsprite was 650 feet Innf and displaced 27,500 tons. It was built in 1914 at a cost of $12,500,000, a|The Warsprite is reported to have - | carried eight sixteen-inch guns n glacz of the fifteen-inch guns carried y the Queen Elizabeth, It also was equipped with twelve or sixteen six- inch guns, twelve four-inch guns, four three-pounders and was fitted with four twenty-one inch torpedo tubes. Its complement was 750. The Queen Mary and the 1ndellt||~ able were both British battle cruis of 27,000 and 18,750 tons dupllce- ment, rupectively. The Queen Mary was 720 feet long, eighty-seven feet beam and drew thirty feet of water. The Queen Mary was completed in 1913, It carried eight 13.5-inch guns, sixteen four-inch guns and was equip- ped with three twenty-one inch tor- pedo tubes. Two Other Battles. Two long months of watchful wait- ing by the British, however, were broken into by two naval engage- ments in both of which the British were victorious. On August 26, 1914, Admiral Sir David Beatty in an en- gagement almost under the guns of the great Helgoland fortress sank three German armored cruisers and two destroyers. The German loss was ,500 men. On January 24, 1915, a German squadron attempting a raid on the British coast encountered Admiral Beatty off the Dorger Banks. The German cruiser Bluecher was sunk and two of ter ships set on fire. The most serious lo to the Brit- ish fleet hitherto have been through operations of submarines and mines. n September 22, 1914, the British crnhen Hogue, Creny and Aboukir ‘were within an hour by the German submarine U-9.
