So it remained while they were in superior strength and able to throw four or five ships against every one of ours, but as soon as. they came under the fire of our Battle Squadron the Germans began to deteriorate and their marksmanship fell off considerably, though they still worked their guns hard. I am not surprised that their crews became to some extent demoralized, as they apparently did by our gunfire, for our guns wrought awful havoc among them.

On board our own ships there were many casualties from gun-fire. I am not referring now to ships that were lost, but to those that were hit But this was nothing in comparison to what the enemy suffered from. the same form of attack. The following will give you an idea of the tremendous hitting power of our Dreadnoughts. One of our.

12in. ships -the Hercules, I believe -put her salvoes into a German ship so accurately that the enemy vessel heeled right over under the heavy blows which the Hercules dealt her. Of course, that German went out of action. If the 12in. guns would do that to a ship, how much more destructive must be the well.

directed fire from 15in. and guns. The British people do not thoroughly grasp the fact that of the German ships which escape most certainly the greater part of them were so crippled by our gun-fire that they can be of no further use for some to come. They are like 8 pugilist leaving the ring with both eyes his n089 broken, and the wind knocked out of him. I do not know that I can find a better simile to describe the present position of the German Fleet.

One result of this battle has been to fix definitely the importance of gunnery. It was the big calibre that told, and it was a gunner's battle. I do not say that disparagingly because I am a gunnery man myself, but such is the fact. Our gunnery was better at all points than that of the enemy, and we are now absolutely certain of our superiority in marksmanship. But we do some big airships to scout for us.

The presence of the. Zeppelins WAS great advantage the German Fleet. Something, I notice, has been said as to what the German object was. I do not think there is much doubt about that. The Germans meant to break through the blockade and throw a squadron of fast warships into the Atlantic, where they would have done tremendous damage and given immense trouble before they could have been rounded up."

Our ship's company suffered severely from the enemy's fire, so did the ship. herself, but we were not going to let them have matters all their own way, so we dashed at the Seydlitz, and dropped a torpedo into her and hit her fairly.

SOWING THE SEED OF VICTORY. Lord Rosebery, who visited Woodcote-park Convalescent Hospital at Epsom yesterday, said We have indeed gone through strange alternations during the last few days, On Saturday we to read a communication which hailed from the Admiralty- -or else we should have thought it might have come from Prussia indicating something very like a reverse which had befallen the British All this was accompanied by bell-ringing and flagwaving Prussia, and embraces of the Emperor William in hailing a great victory. But as the day wore on we got more authentic news. We heard of the gallant engagement of Admiral Beatty with a greatly superior German fleet we heard of the great destruction that he caused we heard of the gallant Balaclava charges--for they can be comparable to nothing else- of the lighter craft of our Fleet, steaming to almost certain destruction and almost certain death, provided that they were sure of avenging their death by causing disproportionate damage to the enemy. (Cheers.) I do not think that anyone here can have read that account without his heart being warmed.

And then we read that on the approach of the British Grand Fleet the German Fleet turned and with all haste took refuge in its nearest port, hunted and harassed, until they got inside their mined region, by our own squadrons. If the Prussians call that a victory they are welcome to many such victories. (Cheers.) We can only remember, with some sadness, in connexion with this, the loss of thousands of gallant sailors who have gone to the bottom--a fate, I am sure, they would not have regretted had they known it was to be theirs; for, after all, they died full of glory and honour, and every man has to die at some time or other. Those men died a glorious death, and we feel convinced that their death has sown the seed of victory. They have left behind among their comrades an: avenging spirit, and you may be certain of this -and have heard it directly--that there is only one feeling among our sailors at this moment, and that is anxiety to be at them again, an anxiety which I do not think reciprocated by the enemy.

MEMORIAL SERVICE IN ST. PAUL'S. A memorial service the officers and men who were lost in the naval battle will be held in St. Paul's Cathedral next Wednesday. The service, which will consist of the Litany and the Holy Communion, and will conclude with the Dead March, will begin at 10.30 a a.m.

No tickets will be required. LORD MAYOR'S MESSAGE TO THE FLEET. The Lord Mayor has sent the following telegram to Admiral Jellicoe of, The citizens of London are receiving with deep interest and pride the successive communications regarding the brilliant and victorious exploits of the Royal Navy during the recent battle in the North Sea, and desire to offer. to you, the officers, and men of the Fleet their grateful appreciation of the splendid and heroic services and sacrifices which have added lasting lustre to the proud annals of the Navy and the country. WHY THE GERMAN FLEET WENT HOME.

PECULIAR NECESSITY." (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) AMSTERDAM, JUNE 6. The Cologne Gazette, in answer to various criticisins, writes Our return to port was a necessity owing to the peculiar character of naval warfare. It was not dictated to us by a superior enemy force, as is shown by the fact that a squadron of English older battleships which appeared on the scene of action on the morning of June 1 did not dare attack, but promptly made off. It would certainly have acted if the German, ships had been as badly knocked about as the British now try to pretend. ARCHANGEL THE OBJECTIVE A FRENCH ADMIRAL'S THEORY.

PARIS, Juno Hautefeuille has ad addressed to M. Clemenceau the following letter, which is published in the Homme I am astonished that journalists allow themselves to be hypnotized by the heaviness of British losses and have failed to understand the fullness of the British naval It is one of the greatest victories owing to the results. arising from it. The Germans had two objects, both of the same nature--a fleet of the line as strong as possible which could advantageously present its flank to the large British patrols, and an exit from German ports in order to permit the escape of two rapid forces intended to act at a distance. The first consisted of two very powerful cruisers, escorted by some 10 ships of less size and a strong body of destroyers.

The second force consisted only of two ships, the Wiesbaden and the Elbing. The first force to go north, and evidently was to destroy certain ships which supply Russia with food by way Archangel Kola and bring back grain for England and France, and also was to destroy Kola and the establishments of the port of Archangel, which are of wood. The second group is only composed of two vessels, but two vessels launched since the beginning of the war, constructed for the destruction of commerce in distant seas, vessels with high speed enabling them to fly from warships, with a wide radius of action at economical speed enabling them to avoid frequent coaling. Suppose these two vessels appearing in the South Atlantic and the Pacific. For many months they would be masters of the ocearis and their success would be greater than that of the Alabama and the Emden.

Sir David Beatty sacrificed himself. Although outnumbered he gave battle to prevent the passage of these German expeditionary forces and to give Admiral Jellicoe time to come to his assistance. The cruisers which should have destroyed the Russians were obliged to take refuge in damaged condition in German and Danish ports. As regards the Wiesbaden and the Elbing, which were sunk, their was short. Is it not then an immense victory to have maintained the freedom of distant oceans and to have with Russia And if the results are considered is assured the 1 continuation of summer communications this not an admirable It has been dearly paid for, but if 5,000 British sailors perished on May 31, as many French soldiers fall every day around Verdun.

The greatest satisfaction has been caused here by the most recent bulletins of the battle off Jutland. It is understood that England scored a notable success, and it is beginning to be realized that the sacrifices made were deliberately incurred in the hope of winning a smashing victory, which only escaped us owing to the prudent haste shown by the Germans in retreating. Opinion seems to be divided as to whether the 'British authorities were right or wrong in delaying the publication of the first bulletin. Many people regret that the German account got such a long start. Others express approval of British methods by which speed was sacrificed to completeness, and there is no.

particular anxiety displayed regarding opinion in other countries, allied or neutral. The keenest interest in the details of the battle is shown by members of the Russian mission, in whose memory their visit to the British Fleet remains deeply imprinted. LATE WAR NEWS.
