NAVAL BATTLES OF THE WOULD WAR. By G. KAY SPENCER. (Written for the International News Service. ) BATTLE OF THE SKAGERRAK. No. 6. The foggy first of June, 1916, saw the greatest battle on the sea thhe world has even known. It was on this day that two mighty fleets of steel met in the waters off Jut land; two fleets one. the bulwark of democracy and the other the ag gressive weapon of that most detes table of monarchies Hunland. The world shuddered on the fateful eve ning of that dreary day when the ether vibrated messages of victory victory to the Hun; and the Imper ial German navy was speeding on back to its base for a much-needed recuperation, for It had been hurt. This day, the first day of June, is auspicious In British naval history as the date on which, one hundred and twenty-three years ago, an Eng llslh fleet under Lord Howe, com prising twenty-five Bhips of the line, defeated the equal French fleet un der Vlllaret, 350 miles off Ouessant. In the years to come the celebration of the day will be saddened by the memorial to the gallant ships which went down off Skagerrak. On this modern first of June the entire fleets of Britain met the en tire German navy, with the British numerically stronger in a ratio or two to one. -Navigating conditions, however, were all in favor of the enemy, due to what some experts have declared to be sheer luck. The German claim is that superior strat egy won them the day. It had long been the strategy of both Admiralities to patrol the length of the North Sea in force. Both claimed, as their object, the luring out of the opposing fleet for a decisive fight on open water. Though both fleets welcomed the op portunity to try their steel, certain It Is that this battle In particular came about by mere chance and was not planned beforehand to any great er extent than the usual preparations for eventualities on all the units during the dangerous patrol worR. Without having any certain knowl edge of the presence of the German High Seas fleet, the British fleet cruised far north between Scotland and Norway. The Germa navy got wind of this fact, and its reconnoi tring cruisers rushed northward un til they sighted the foe off the south coast of Norway. VIceAduilral Hipper, in command of the German cruisers, Immediately engaged the English, who- were far superior in number. Admiral Scheer, command ing the high seas fleet, hurried with all possible speed to the scene, de termined to make the most of this chance meeting with Admiral Sir David Beatty. The fog bank that shrouded the entrance to Skagerrak was to play an Important role. Hidden by this fog. the English main fleets reached the scene, and at 7:30 p. m., were east of the German fleets and unob served by the fighting German cruis ers. Despite this advantage Ad miral Jelllcoe, commanding the Eng lish High Seas Fleet, was unable to Judge, from the gunfire of the Ger man ships, their formation and num ber, and so lost, valuable time, In stead of at once "attacking the Ger man fleet, unconscious pf its periL Not until 8:20 did his' battleships succeed in opening Are on the Ger man High Seas Fleet. When the line of British battle' ships became dimly risible on ' the horizon, seven and one-half, mDes distant, the German Admiral at once realised the seriousness of the situa tion. With admirable con race - the German torpedo fleets threw them selves upon the heavy English line, . which received -them -with a deadly fire of all calibres- It was almost impossible to make out the w,ater lines of the Britiish ships, which had slipped back into the fog bantc and the German gunners baa only the flashes of the British guns as guides. The battle between the two main fleets lasted over an hour, and the precision of the Hun fire was telling tragically. The German line was like a. sinuous sWake, at . all times under the most complete con trol of the flagship. Indeed, the enemy in this fight has been written into naval history as a valuable ana useful lesson in modern sea fighting wun an tne various engines or a modern fleet. The British ships could not keep in contact under the repeated Hun onslaughts, and were compelled to cease firing. Even before nightfall they had lost touch with the enemy and disappeared in the fog. During the alght the German fleet proceed ed at moderate speed toward Horn Riff. In the damp darkness the long line of German ships was re peatedly attacked by the British cruisers and destroyers, but at sun rise not a single &ritisn snip was visible. 'Admiral. Scheer conducted his fleet quickly to Heligoland to make repairs of which he stood desper ately In need, for he had suffered greatly in withdrawing from the em brace of a superior foe. SESSION OF CONGRESS MAY BE A LONG ONE. fBy International News Service.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. All Is chaos in Congress over where to start when the second war session opens Monday. However, many leaders declare that Congress will be In session indefinitely, perhaps ror years, and have adopted "why hurry ' as a motto. What Congress win ao depends largely on the President. Nobody seems to have any very definite ideas of what he will ask. Unless he asks for a dec laration of war against Austria; Bul garia and Turkey, Congress will probably do very little of importance before January.

Judge For Yourself In the past twenty or thirty years, while the death rate among babies, youths, young adults, and even per sons of advanced age, has steadily de clined, thanks to better public health measures and Improved sanitation, the death rate for adults of mature age, that is, middle age, has steadily Increased. This anomaly is at pres ent giving the health authorities of the whole country concern, and it is high time to start a drive against the conditions which account for the dan gers of middle age. We know those conditions pretty well.

Blight's disease, heart disease and apoplexy have slightly Increased In prevalence. The cause of cancer Is as yet unknown, but we know much about the causes of the other three perils of maturity. Apoplexy, for instance, Is commonly called a stroke of paralysis, sad Is produced by hemorrhage into the brain from a break or rupture of a small artery In the brain. The artery rup tures when some excessive strain Is put upon it, as from too hearty eating, great anger or other emotional ex citement, exceesive physical effort, alcoholic excess or other excesses. But the artery would withstand the strain were it not a diseased or degen ereated artery. It is damaged by 111 usage. The victim has lived too fast, too well, too strenuously. He has neglected the vital matter of personal hygiene, and worn out his arteries too early in life. He may have over workedhe likes to think so; but usually It la not overwork, but the re sort to alcohol, tobacco or even drugs to tide over periods of fatigue or ex haustion from overwork, that accounts for the degeneration of the arteries. Apoplexy may occur in spite of a low blood pressure, although an ex tremely high blood pressure is most frequently present In one with the pre disposition to apoplexy. Over-eating is recognized as one of the chelf, if not the chief, predispos ing causes of the arterial diseases which bring on apoplexy. People who begin to put on superfluous weight after thirty-five years are tot necessarily headed toward apoplexy, yet they will make no mistake in adopting hygienic measures of preven tion for the good of general health. Not only the obviously stout and ple thoric or full-blooded individual, but also the pale and slender may have a stroke of paralysis. Still, the stout, over-nourished type, with short thick neck predominates among victims of apoplexy. One of the most effective preventa tive measures known today is the an nual medical examination. When your doctor knows yon, as a mechanician knows a machine he has overhauled thoroughly once a year, he Is capable of detecting the earliest changes in heart action, blood pressure, kidney function and general conditions which always long antedate a threatened stroke of paralysis.
