The warships were first sighted 120 miles off llanstholin. All accounts from Dutch sources Bgrce, that the (lerman fleet wis pro reeding an one unit when the first Krilish ships were encountered. The iennan fleet is estimated in different reports to have consisted of from forty to fifty vessels. The weather was misty and tho sea smooiu.

The order was placed by William C. Weaver, purchas ing agent for Kansas City, after he hail made an investigation extending over u field of cars of various makes. He found the Maxwell best adapted to ihe needs of the exacting municipal service, because of its durability, its dependa bility and its great economy in opera tion. Another factor that entered into the closing of the contract was the prompt delivery guaranteed by the Maxwell company. A promise- was made that the cars would lie turned over in three days and this promise was fill filed to the letter. Some Commercial Bodies. In the consignment are 21 runabouts and a touring car, the remainder being chassis for special conimcrpiul bodies. The growing popularity of the Max well (diassis in the commercial field! was another element that entered into j the transaction. These chassis are de- 1 livered all ready for the tops to lie fitted on. There is no extra wiring or j adjusting to be dime. The tops may be made according to the specifications and requirements of the owner. Many merchants are finding this a most con venient method of purchasing cars for delivery purposes. Knows Maxwell Economy. Last year, Kansas City used a num ber of motorcars of a make other than Maxwell in its municipal service. For several months, Mr Weaver, the city's purchasing agent, has been keeping n (dose tub on gasoline consumption and he knows a good deal, of what the Maxcwll can accomplish along this very important line. He wisely con cluded that the use of Maxwell earn , for the city service would cut down the municipal gasoline bill to sui ap preciable degree. Gldsmobile Production Will Double Next Year The production of Oldsmobilcs, al ready well beyond the 10,000 mark per annum, is to be raised to 20,000 cars next year. This decision was arrived ut by fact ory officials, after a thorough analysis of business conditions throughout the United .States. The Olds Motor Works has been a quantity producer of automobiles com paratively a short time. For the ma jor portion of its career it manufact ured only the most expensive curs, and in limited numbers. In 11)15, however, it began to pro duce a light car, the success of which was instantaneous. Mince then it has developed two imprived models, a four and an eight, with rapidly increased production. The basis of recent Olds success is held to be founded on the incorporation in a light car of the features of lux ury and refinement formerly identi fied with the heavy Olds product. In the opinion of heads of the concern the appeal of this class of car is con stantly increasing. To quote .lay V. Hull, associate executive of the Olds, "With millions of automobiles in use it. is only natural that there should ex ist a large class of buyers who are ex tremely well versed in the detail of motor ear construction and niceties of finish and performance "In the selecting of a car, it is no longer the discriminating few, but the discriminating ninny who judge, "It is for this class of buyers that the Oldsniobile has been especially de signed Our product offers a smooth ness and flexibility in action, and a re finement in detail nnd appointment, that is extremely gratifying to tthe mo tor connoisseur. "Olds production plans for next year are gauged on the sound assumption that care in the selection of a car will increase rather than diminish as time goes by. Our present data is to the of- . feet that we shall move 20,000 cars Without difficulty." i Knglish dreadnaughts appeared. British Fleet Outnumbered.

When they .appeared, however, the Hermans tied land the British still maintain todav that (leraiany has yet to feel the full! : force of Knglish sea power, j Kfficient Zeppelin scouting enabled I I the (lernians at all times to locate ap- i ' pumching warships. Hovering above j the (lerman high sea fleet as it pounded the British cruisers and destroyers to ! pieces, the Zeppelins were able to give i warning of the approach of the dread ', naughts hastening to the aid of the out- numbered squadron. Then came w ith ;drawal. successful retreat to the Her man naval base, and the super fighting machines of (neat Britain could only return to their home waters. As a result of the assistance render ed by the Zeppelins, a general belief is being voiced today tint the navy be equipped w ith scouting air forces.

Captain Hunt of the Dutch trawler John Brown, who witnessed the big battle in the j North sea, gave tho following descrip tion of the engagement today: "The Hermans had at least fit) ships including dreadnaughts which I first saw heading north liy north went when the British approached from the north least.

In view of the upward trend in the price of gasoline, a great deal of importance is attached to the after-cost of auto mobiles and the officials of the Mux well Motor Company take great pride in the records tnnr nave neeu ui.iuc by their product. Above are listed some of the more remarkable of I lie series of economy marks registered by Maxwells. These are taken from a greater list of econ omy records. I'lisolicited testimonials to the high mileage records made by Maxwell cars are constantly coining to the Maxwell offices at Detroit. Oakland Run Largest. The most encouraging feature of the economy runs is that the highest mileage" was obtained in the more re cent tests. The California run was made on Mav :!rd. On that, day, Hf.y MeXamarn drove a stock Maxwell touriiif; car from Oakland, California, to San .lose. rue mileage oihiuih-.i was 4-').t miles on a gallon of gasoline. This run was observed by newspaper men and bv officials of the Lincoln Highway Association and the San Diego Fair. This run was a little better than the mark made by the same driver in Michigan early in April, when he drove a stock car and made an even 44 miles on a gallon. Oa that day, the weather conditions were unfavorable, the temperature being close to freez ing and a strong head wind pt'veail ing most of the distance, in Toreign Fields. Most of the economy teats abroad have been staged in mountains coun try nnd have proved the endurance as well as the economv of Maxwell cars. The South African test was made nrmind Talde Mountain, which has two fairly steep gradients, to prevent their retreat to Heligoland. "Suddenly n fast British cruiser was detnehed aiid headed full speed west ward, evidently for reinforcements. "Meantime "the Hermans had altered their course westward, but by 7 p. m. the British squndroa had been re inforced and the Hermans began to withdraw. A running fight then con tinued until 11 p. m. "Dense smoke overhung the water. Shells repeatedly flew over my trawler. "I believe the attempt of the British to cut off the German retreat was only prevented by the timely flight of the enemy." Details of the sinking of the Killing were brought here by members of her crew- who were rescued. Three officers nnd 1.1 men were picked up by a trawler and landed today. 85 of Shark's Crew Perished. Hull, Juno 3. Kighty-five members of the crew of the destroyer Shark are believed to have perished when the ves sel was sunk. The Danish steamer Vider lias arrived hero with seven survivors. They are believed to be the only men of the Shark's complement of 02 who were saved. . The survivors said the Shark was used as a decoy for the British fleet. They were in the water six nnd a half hours before being picked up. " How did that story pan out about the man up in Kvanston who found the big hailstone on his back stoop this morning!

"During the day battle the Knglish lost, the drendnaught Warspite, the bat tle cruiser Queen Mary, one armored cruiser, apparently of the Achilles type and -several destroyers. "During the night, both sides made violent attacks by torpedo boats and cruisers, fights of which other hostile losses were victims. "Among others, the German leading ship annihilated six modem Knglish destroyers. "All Herman reports emphasize the bravery shown by the British during the fight which continued almost unin terrupted for 12 hours. "His majesty's ship Franenlob must be definitely considered lost. The ship sank, apparently during the night of May 31 or June 1 during a partial en gagement. ' ' I "Of the German torpedo boats, five have not returned, but a large part of the crews were rescued.

This is the Herman view resulting from the Victory of the fleet of Viee-Adiniral Scheer, which has given the kaiser's navy as brilliant a tradition as has been written on the pages of any naval pow er. Flags were displayed everywhere to day in celebration of the clash with the British high seas 'fleet and the Herman success. .Schools were dismissed, special services of celebration and thanksgiv ing were called and Herman enthusiasm was aroused as at no time since tjie kaiser'S army was drawing near Taris early in the war. Although no official expression wan obtainable, it was evident that the sea victory is regarded here as another step toward a possible early peace. De feat of the British fleet the first time it felt Germany's naval power; the fact that Herman territory is free of the enemy; that Belgium and northern France are successfully held, while the F.vncli and British lines have remained stationary for the past year, and the crown prince is hammering at the gates of Verdun these points were cited as answers to the allied demands that Ger many be crushed.
