"The risibility at this time was in different, not more than four miles, and the enemy ships were temporarily lost fight of after 6p. m. Although the visibility became reduced, it un doubtedly was more favorabte to us than to the enemy. At intervals their ship showed up clearly, enabling us to punish them very heavily." By 9 o'clock the Germans had left, according to report, and the firitUh fleet returned to its base where it was made ready for possible action. The British destroyers during th night inflicted heavy damage, the re port states. Wbn writing or cilUuf -a drertlMrt. p!eM ssentkm Th Journal. (A4.)

Vice Admiral 81r John R J ell 1 co. coinmanJer-in-niei ot the British home fleets, in his re port to the admiralty on tne banger Rak battle of May S rives a vivid de scription of the engagement. His re port In effect makes tne cisim mn victory was with the Enitllsh. He d laces the German loss at 21 vessels and the British at 15 ships. Words of praise for bravery in tne action are bestowed alike on British and Germans. Of the latter n says. The enemy fought with a gallantry that was expected of him. We particu larly admire the conduct of th6s on board a disabled German light cruiser. which passed down the British line under a heavy fire, which was returned by the only gun left in action, i ne conduct of the officers and men was entirely beyond pralae." Oermaa boas Estimate. Baying that the list of ships and cammandlng officers who took part are withheld for the present Admiral Jellicoe continues with an estimate of German losses as follows Two battleships of the dreadnaught type; one ot the Deutschland type, which was seen to sink; the battle cruiser Lutsow. admitted by the Ger mans; one battle crusler of the dread naught type, one battle cruiser, seen to be so severely damaged that its return was extremely doubtful: five light cruisers seen to sink (one of them possibly a battleship) ; six de stroyers seen to sink; three destroyers so damaged that it was doubtful if they would be able to reach port, and a submarine sunk. STitish Dead Are Praised. "I deeply regret," he said, "the loss of his majesty's ships Queen Mary, Indefatigable, Invincible, Defiance. Black Prince, Warrior, Tipperary, Ar dent, Fortune, Shark, Sparrow Hawk, Nestor, Nomad and Turbulent. Still more da. I regret the resultant heavy losses of life. The death of such gal lant officer as Arbuthaot, Hood. Cap tain Howerby, Captain Prows, Cap tain Cay, Captain Bonham, Captain Charles J. Win tour and Captain Stan ley B. Ellis and those who perished with them is a serious loss to the navy and to the country. They led officers and men who were equally gallant and whose death is mourned by their comrades In the grand fleet. "Ths -condition of low visibility un 6r which the day action took place and the approach of darkness enhanced the dif ficulty of giving an accurate re port of the damage Inflicted or the names of ships sunk by our forces, But after a most careful examination of the evidence and personal inter views with a large number of officers I am of the opinion that the list of enemy vessels sunk shown in the en closure gives ths minimum numbers, though it is possible it is not accu rate as regards the particular claas of vessel." Battts Cruisers Seal rig-hters. The battle cruisers withstood the greater share of the attack, he said, and in this connection he paid tribute to Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, say lng evening mist and fading light robbed him of the complete victory for which he had maneuvered. Explaining the delay in Junction of the British fleets be said "The Junction of the battle fleet with the scouting force after the enemy had been sighted was delayed owing to tha southerly course steered by our ad vanced force during the first hour after commencing action. This, of course was unavoidable, aa had our battle cruisers not followed the enemy to the southward, the main fleets would not have been in contact. The battle cruis er fleet, gallantly led by Vice Admiral Beatty and admirably supported by the ships of the fifth battle squadron under Rear Admiral Evan Thomas, fought the action under, at times, disadvan tageous conditions, especially in re gard to light, in a manner that was in keeping with the best traditions of the service," Britons Sid Wot Await Orders. Vies Admiral Beatty's report on ths fighting, up to the time of the appear ance of the battle fleet shows that the British attacked without awaiting or ders. The presence of the Germans was first learned at 2:20 o'clock in the afternoon. The British first and third light cruiser squadrons rushed to en gage them, followed by four battle ships of the Queen Elizabeth type. The line of battle was iformed at 3:30 o'clock, the battle cruisers astern of two destroyer flotillas. "The sun was behind us." said Ad miral Beatty. "The wind was south east. Being between the enemy and his base, our situation was both tac tically and strategically good. Opened Tire at Xong Bangs. "Both forces opened fire simultane ously at 3:38 at a range of 18,600 yards. The course was altered southward, the enemy steering parallel, distant 18,000 to 14,500 yards. The fifth battle squad ron opened fire at a range of 20,000 yards at 4:08. Although the presence ff destroyers caused inconvenience on account of smoke, they preserved the battleships from submarine attacks. "Two submarines being sighted and a flotilla of 10 destroyers being ordered to attack the enemy with torpedoes, they moved out at 4:16 o'clock simul taneously with the appearance ot-Ger man destroyers. From 4:16 to 4:43 o'clock the conflict between the battle cruiser squadrons was fierce and the British fire began to tell. The third German shin was seen to be afire. The German battle fleet was reported ahead j and the destroyers were recalled. The British commander now turned toward his battle fleet and the weather 3M Mm To Secure a High-Class Tailormade Suit at a Very Low Price The past inclement weather has been a great setback to our business the past month.
