+ emanate from northern "A despatch from London says: Various short reports re loss of Lord Ki "on the cruiser pshire continue to states that Lord Kitchener and his staff embarked in a small boat and cleared the ship, but that the boat was swamped in the heavy seas. The disaster has now been located at two miles from shore, between Marwick Head and the Brough of Birsay, on the north-west coast of the Island of Pomona, the largest of the Orkney group. The disaster occurred only an hour after' Earl Kitchener and members of his staff had embarked on the cruiser. A patrol ship in the neighborhood aerographed that it had sighted the "warship afire, and then that it seemed to blow up, but the gale prevented hearing the sound of the Sxelosion Other ships Instantly went garding and his staff |] One| raft, battered and exhaus! : three told those who helped them Lord Kitchener Was aboard, then ped asleep. Between 70 and 80 bodies some of them still warm, were found, Several had lost nearly all their fin- ger nails and toe nails trying to clam- ber up the cliffs. It is reported that, some reached shore alive, but died of | exhaustion. A big lifeboat has been washed on the rocks near Thurso, on the main- | land. Seven feet of the stern of the craft was torn away, and no name showed, but apparently the boat had been one of those belonging to the Hampshire. TEUTONS ADMIT MORE SEA LOSS Battle Cruiser Lutzow and the Rostock Destroyed--New Reports on Fight. A despatch from London says: There was much satisfaction express- ed at the Admiralty on Thursday over the publication of the admission by the German Naval Department of the loss of the battle cruiser Lutzow of 26,000 tons and the armored cruiser Rostock of 4,900 tons. British reports of the naval battle off Skagerrack had accounted for these German ships among others, which the Berlin state- ments had steadfastly omitted. The official admission that the loss of these vessels was withheld "for mili- tary reasons" impugns the veracity of the German claim as to the results of the battle generally, in the opinion of abtaches of the Admiralty. Fur- ther admissions confirming the Brit- ish reports are looked for. ---- COCKSURE OF VERDUN. ~ Germany Claims She Will Occupy Town on Date Arranged. A despatch from Berlin says: The German General Staff figured that Verdun would fall in five months. German military experts now ex- press the view that all expectations will be even surpassed. In quarters, where facts, not . feelings, acts, not assértions, count, it is confidently pre- dicted that Verdun will be in the hands of the Germans in the first week of July. ENEMY LOSSES 6,300 IN THE NAVAL FIGHT Total Number of German Sailors Killed is 800. A despatch from London says :-- The copenhagen correspondent of The Daily Mail learns from Kiel that the first unofficial estimate of German losses in the North Sea gives the number of killed at 800, of wounded at 1,400 and of missing at 4,600. A Central News despatch from Cop- enhagen says that the Swedish steam- er Vanda passed the wreck of a gigan- tic warship on Saturday, the nation- ality of which it was unable to ascer- tain. Hundreds of bodies were float- ing around the wreck and for three hours the Vanda steamed among dead sailors. Near the spot where the derelict was encountered the wreck of a big sailing vessel, apparently an in- nocent victim of the Jutland battle was sighted. : Bn NEWFOUNDLAND TO REPLACE MEN LOST/N NORTH SEA. A despatch from St. Johns, Nfld, says: To help make up for the losses suffered by the British naval forces in the recent North Sea battle, New- foundland authorities began making plans on Friday for a special recruit- ing campaign, An effort will be made to send forward one thousand men as the colony's share.

VICTORY BY RUSSIANS WITHOUT A PARALLEL Matters Begin to Look Serious for the Whole Enemy Line in Russia. A despatch from London says: "The victory won by the Russians is with- ' out a parallel in military history," says a Petrograd despatch to Reu- ter's Telegram Company. "The Rus- gians now occupy the whole triangu- "lar fortified positions of Kolki, Lutsk and Olyka. : "Military writers dwell on the . great strategic importance of this tri- angle, which includes some of the ~ best Austrian communication lines, and connects the centre between Poliessie, Volhynia and Poland and * the roads to Galicia and Bukbwina. "The Russians fought their way to * Lutsk, a distance of twenty-five miles, in three days, through forests and marsh lands and over battered de- fences, the invincibility of which the ans had been boasting ghout the winter and spring. is still no response to the Rus- 'Phrust, and military writers de- clare that matters begin to look seri- ous for the whole enemy line in Rus- sia. "Col. Shumsky, the military critic of The Bourse Gazette, declares the junc- tion between the Austrians and Ger- mans has been cut clean through, thus exposing the right flank of the Ger- mans and the left flank of the Aus- trians and making them almost de- fenceless to further Russian attacks." Another despatch from Petrograd says: The Lutsk victory changes the whole position on the Russian south- western front. Hardly less important is the Russian success in Galicia, where the Austrian positons between Trybuchovee and Jaslovitz, south of? Buczacz, have been forced and the Austrians driven beyond the Strypa. driven back south of Okna, and the head of the railway leading to Czerno- vitz ig 'in Russian hands. iS SALIENT MUST BE HELD DESPITE LOSSES INVOLVED, Socialists have been ai years for a new system of 'taxation 'They - against to relieve the workingman.; have, without exception, vo the Budget on these grounds.

A despatch from London says: An allied air squadron has successfully bombarded the wharves at Hoboken, near Antwerp, according to a despatch to the Exchange Telegraph Company from Maestricht.

Constitute Whole Staff From Sur- geons to Orderlies. A hospital in which only the pa- tients are men is one of the war time innovations in London. It is in Endell 'Street near Covent Garden Market; and the entire staff, from cooks to.surgeons, are women, The institution is the outgrowth of a movement known as"the Women's Hospital Corps. "A little body 'of wo- men left England for France in the early stages of the war to nurse the wounded soldiers, but later they were called back, as they were needed even. more urgently to care for the many wounded soldiers: brought home to England. From this small beginning the hos- pital, which. will accommodate 500 wounded soldiers, sprang. - The wounded soldier 'is considerably sur- prised, if he is well enough to take notice, to be brought to the hospital and see only women orderlies in the corridors and women surgeons and physicians to atbend him. The medical staff consists of eight surgeons under. the direction of a chief surgeon, a dental surgeon, an ophthalmic surgeon, a pathologist, an X-ray operator, an angesgthetist, and a number of physicians. In addition women medical students visit the hos. pital, and the entire administrative supervision of the hospital is in wo- men's hands. ------ ll A woman docy her duty because she wants to--a man because he has to.
