June 3. A Copenhagen report today says the steamer Naesborg reported that the German fleet in the North Sea numbered 45 ships of all classes, while the British had eleven ships of the second line at the begin ning of the great sea fight. Later eight English first line warships joined. The Naesborg crew confirmed the fact that Zeppelins participated. The Naesborg's cap tain said the firing was so terrific that his sailors, al though the Naesborg was seven miles away, could not stay on deck. The engagement opened, he said, with several German vessels pursuing smaller English craft. Within a few minutes British cruisers sighted the Ger mans and headed full steam into action. Germany Regards Victory as Great Achievement. Berlin, June 3. England's claim to mastery of sea has been broken. This is the German view, resulting from Vice-Admiral Scheer's North Sea victory. Flags are being displayed everywhere, the schools have been dismissed and special services of celebration and thanks giving called, and German enthusiasm aroused as at no time since the Kaiser's legions were driving toward Paris in the early days of the war. The victory is regarded as another step toward peace. The Kaiser is expected to hurry to Wilhelmshaven tc congratulate the fleet and decorate Scheer. The Kind of 'Victory Germans Won. London, June 3. Three more ships have been added to the list of those lost in the North Sea battle the Brit ish destroyer Shark, German cruiser Elbing and Ger man superdreadnaught Von Hindenberg. The survivors of the Shark, landed at Hull, said that first and last forty British ships, most of them small, par ticipated. The Elbing's crew, landed at Ymuiden, said Commander Madlung scuttled her. Captain Punt of the Dutch trawler John Brown, at Ymuiden, said he witnessed the battle. "The Germans had fifty ships, including dreadnaughts, when the Brit ish, greatly outnumbered, approached from the north east. The engagement started at 4:15 o'clock. The Brit ish pluckily tried to cut in behind the Germans and pre vent their retreat to Heligoland. While a fast British cruiser hurried for reinforcements, a running fight com menced. As soon as British reinforcements arrived the Germans hurriedly withdrew, thus preventing the Brit ish attempt to cut them off. The Berlin admiralty's reports claim a brilliant and complete victory, emphasizing the British's superior los ses. Holland reports today said eight German battleships took refuge in Danish waters. They were ordered to leave in twelve hours or intern. "Reports today confirmed the use of zeppolins by the Germans. British Loss in Men Heavy. Portsmouth, June 3.

Viotor Lar v IP O n uet alee or The m oney W E FIND this 13 the attitude of many people who come into our salesroom before they know ?.nything about the Maxwell. Not until the Maxwell is shown and demon strated to them until they sit in it and examine the finish until they ride in it or perhaps not until they drive it themselves, do they realize what o tremendous value is ofe;-ed in the Maxwell car. It b not unusual that Maxwell value should not bs known to everyone, because it is uncom mon to find such a car for a good margin more than the Maxwell price. The Maxwell stands absolutely alone in a highly competitive f:e!d, for the amount cf value it offers for the price. Appearance The lines cf the Maxwell are decidedly attractive. There is no break in the contour from the radiator to tht back of the car. The fenders are gracefully shak J. All metal parts are enameled or nickel-plated. The uphol stery 13 deep and well-finished. From any angle it b a car that the owner can be proud of. Motor The engine in the Maxwell car is not equalled by tny other four-cylinder engine of its size. And we know of larger and more expensive cars that have less able power plants. The Max well engine carries its load through mud and sand or over the steepest grades without a falter. Quality The materials in the Maxwell car are the best that can be bought and the workman ship that turns them into finished parts b no less excellent. It is only the large production of the Maxwell factories that makes it possible to put such quality of materials and workmanship into a car selling at the Maxwell price. Economy With its other attractive features, the Maxwell is a most economical car to own Owners get 22 to 25 miles per gallon of gasoline and 8,000 to 12,000 miles per set of tires. And the car is so durably built that repair expense b negligible. We are sure you want a car such as we have described the Maxwell to be. If you will give us a few minutes of your time we are sure we can convince you that the Maxwell Car is an excep tional value. Come in today. Touring Car $655 Roadster $635 F. O. B.
