ONE DOLLAR A YEMi. GREATEST NAVAL BATTLE IX HISTORY OF THK WOULD Huge FlerU of Germany and England Met Wednesday and Fought Itoy and Night Both Mdes Claim Vic tory Which at First Wa Thought to Have Heen With (. ..'any IrrhaMi Ten Thousand Ktmm litwit for When a Ship Went Down Her Frew Perished English Iom Large In Great Ship and in Men and Offlottrs English Claim tier, man Is Wan larger. Last Wednesday afternoon the great high seas fleet of Germany rame in contact with the blockading fleet of England in the North Sea and the result was the greatest naval bat tle in history, which lasted the re mainder of the day and through the night. The last reports from the British admiralty claims positively that more ships of Germany were lost than of England. It was a running light of 165 miles. The big ships hammered at each oth er from a distance of fifteen miles at first and, later came to close quar ters of live 'miles. In the battle were all the various grades of fighting craft of both navies from the great est superdreadnaughts to the small est torpedo boats. There were per haps one hundred ships on each side finally in the fight. Every time a ship went down its crew went with it and the loss of life was immense. Many officers of the English perished. As the reports begin to get clearer the truth seems to be that a large number of dreadnaughts of the Ger mans were first attacked by English battle cruisers, which are the next greatest Id power. The Germans were thus able to inflict great loss efore the biggest ships of the Eng lish got Into action. As the Germans began to be outnumbered they re treated. Gerniun lowi-o Much Greater Than Reported. London Dispatch, June 4. A statement Issued tonight by the British Admiralty, confirming pre vious accounts of the battle between British and German fleets, reiterates that the German accounts of German losses are false, and that although evidence is still Incomplete, enough is known to Justify statins that the German losses were greater than the British "not merely relatively to the strength of the two fleets, but ab solutely. " There Is the strongest ground for believing says the statement, that the German losses include two flreud naught battle cruisers of the' most' powerful type and t'o of the latest light cruisers In addition to smaller craft, including a submarine. The text of the statement follows: "Until the commander-in-chief has had time to consult the officers en gaged and write a full dispatch, any attempt to give detailed history of the naval engagement which began on the afternoon of the twenty-third of May and ended in the morning hours of the first of June, would evidently be premature. But the re sults are quite plain. "The grand fleet came In touch with the German fleet at 3:30 on the arternoon of May 31. The leading ships of two fleets carried out a vici ous battle In which the battle cruis ers, fast battlehips and subsidiary craft all took an active part. "The losses were severe on both sides but when the main body of the British fleet rame Into contact with the German high seas fleet a very brief period sufficed to compel the latter, who had been severely pun ished, to seek refuge in their pro tected waters. This maneuver was rendered possible by low visibility and widest and although the grand fleet were now and then able to get In a momentary conflict with their opponents no continuous action was posr.ible. "They continued the pursuit until the light had wholly failed, whllo the llilthh destroyers were able to make a successful attack upon the enemy during the night. "M.niwhlle Admiral Sir John Jelllcoe having driven the enemy in to port, returned to the main scene of the i ciion and scoured the sea in search of disabled vessels. By noon the next day , June 1, became evi dent there was nothing more to be done. He returned, therefore to his bases, four hundred miles away, re fuelled his fleet and in the evening of June 2 was again ready to put to sea. "The British losses have already been fully stated. There is nothing to add or subtract from the latest ac count published by tho Admiralty. The enemy losses are less easy to de termine. That the accounts they have given to the world are false Is cer tain aud we cannot yet be sure of the exact truth. But from such evidence as has come to our knowledge the Ad miralty entertains no doubt that the German losses are heavier than the British, not merely relatively to the length of the two fleets but abso lutely. "There seems to be the strongest ground for supposing that Included In the German losses are two battle ships, two dreadnaught battle cruis ers of the most powerful type, two of the latest light cruisers, the Wies baden and Elblng. a light cruiser of the Rostock type, the light cruiser Frauenloh and destroyers and sub marines." The First News. Dispatch, June 3. British public was given a shock tonight when the ad gave out a statement that In battle In the North sea Wed afternoon, the British battle fleet met the German fleet, London The painful miralty naval nesday cruiser with the result that three British battle cruisers were sunk, together with three cruisers and several de stroyers, while six destroyers were still unaccounted for. The Indefatigable, the Invincible and the Queen Mary were the battle cruisers sent to the bottom by the Germans. The cruisers Defense, Black I'rince and Warrior also were lost. The Warrior first was reported disabled, but subsequently it was an nounced that she had been abandon ed by her crew. The battle seems to have lasted through the afternoon and the fol lowing night The German fleet's losses are stated to have been serious, but no very definite information or these losses is afforded. One battle cruiser Is declared to have been de stroyed and another severely dam aged, while the belief is expressed that a large number of German de stroyers were disposed of. Following quickly upon the ad miralty announcement, came the Ger man official version of the fight which. In general, confirms the Brit ish account, but claimed that the battleship Warsprite also was suuX and other British battleships dam aged. The German losses, according to the German version of the battle, were the small cruiser Wiesbaden, sunk by gun fire and the warship I'ommern by a torpedo, while the cruiser Frauenlob and a number of torpedo boats are missing. The new was flashed out In special editions of the evening newspapers and caused greater consternation in the west end of London than has been witnessed on any previous occasion since the declaration of war. The frankness of the admiralty announce ment concerning the serious nature of the British losses and the appar ently small losses of the Germans In comparison, led to the assumption In most minds that the British vessels must have been led into a mine field. GOOD HEALTH AM) GOOD KOADS President of National Highway Show Relation of Good Koads to Good Health. That good roads are conducive to good health Is ono of the best argu ments advanced by Mr. Charles H. Davis,, ('. 10., president of the Na tional Highway Association, In favor of good roads. He says: "Given the same density of popu lation, the town with better roads tins the smallest percentage both ot diseaso and deaths. When statistics show this Is almost Invariably the caBO, there must be some connection between good roads and health. "It is true that a town with good roads is a progressive town with a health board that Is correspondingly well informed and alert, but It is al so tru3 that good roads have directly contributed to the progressive spirit. In short, money has rolled In over their welkept surfaces. Through them the town has become wealthier and wiser, and better health protec tion Is a natural result." Again ho says: "A community to bo wholly healthy must nat be a 'queer community. It must take a sane Interest in Its business, and the relation of Its business to the out side world. It must mix with other people besides its own immediate neighbors. In other words, it must come out of Itself and to do this It must look to its roads. "Where the roads are heavy, nar row, muddy and Impassable, the com munity becomes segregated; a quiet backwater, quaint, but unless In our national progress, and sometimes queer and dangerous. It bocome. the breeding place of Insanity and perversion, a cancerous and vexed spot of mental ills and mornl con tagion that spreads as rapidly and leaves as sanguinary effects as any of the epidemics known to medicine."

Correspondence of The Journal. Wtngate, June 3. The month came In with the mercury down to about 66. with a cool North wind steadily blowing causing the rapid evaporation of the needed moisture; a condition quite unfavorable for the germination of garden and farm seeds and the desired growth of the crops already above ground. Never theless, more or less progress has been made, while the alert and wide awake farmers have had ideal weath er in which to plant and cultivate his crops and to put them in line shape for the warm weather and gracious showers later. You see, if you turn the thing over, you will always find something good on the other 'side to compensate the bad in every case. The outlook for splendid crops Is quite encouraging, comparatively speaking. Miss Mattie Gaddy, who had charge of the music department of the Ches tcrfiejd high school during the spring term, has returned to that town after a short vacation, and will instruct a class In music during the summer months.

WOMAN SAXITAHY OFFICEK Mrs. Henry Ijuiey Han Been Elected fur Thirty Days to Iook After the Health of the City Firemen Re warded $175 Donation to the Fourth of July Committee. The city aldermen held an Inter esting meeting last night one that will perhaps be gratefully remember ed for many years to come. Several innovations were made, and all were progressive measures. A woman was appointed Sanitary Orflcer of Mon roe; something that has perhaps never been done before in' the entire country certainly not in North Carolina; the firemen were given 150 to attend the Firemen's tourna ment; and the Fourth of July com mittee received a donation of $100. and this will be raised to $175 if they decided to get an airship to ex hibit here on that day. Woman's Club Urge Change. A delegation of the Woman's Club, headed by the President. Mrs. Frank Laney, appeared before the Alder men. They stated their case, claim ing that a man is not as competent as a woman to look after the sani tation of a town; and. also, that most men are careless in the performance of the work. They meant no reflec tion on the present incumbent, Mr. Allen English, or any other man that has heretofore had the Job. They simply claimed that woman, endowed with certain qualities, Is more com petent and more willing to enforce the sanitary laws than a man. The Aldermen granted their peti tion. Instead of taking It on them seimes to appoint the officer, they left it to the Woman's Club to de cide who would be the first Woman Sanitary Officer of Monroe, if not of the United States. The Club Im mediately voted on the proposition with the result that Mrs. Henry Laney was elected. Mrs. Laney stated to The Journal this morning that she would accept the position. She also slated that she was very much gratified at the honor bestowed upon her by her club fellow-inemhers, and that she would do her best to merit the honor. The appointment was for only 30 diiys. If, at the end of that time, Mrs. Lanry proves herself competent to hold the position, her appointment will be permanent. The job pays $f0 per month. Firemen I leu al lied. The volunteer firemen of Monroe were rewarded for their past valiant efforts In fighting fires and saving raroperty by the city aldermen by. giv ing them $150 lo defray their ex penses to the annual firemen't tour nament, to be held at Ralelgli. July 16. In the past the firemen have Mad to depend on public subscription to make their annual pilgrimage, and voluntary gift or the ciy is much ap preciated, and Is praised by the citi zens of the town. Airrdiip tor the Fourth. Messrs. R. A. Morrow. W. C. Slack and G. B. Caldwell, representing the Fourth of July Celebration Commit tee, also appeared before the alder men last night and solicited the aid of the city for the celebration this year. It was readily given. Tho aldermen donated $1IKI out right, but decided to raise It to $175 If the committee would secure an airship to make a flight here on the day of the celebration. Mr. W. C. Stack, a member of the committee, stated to The Journal this morning that it had been decided to get an airshlp'for the fourth, and this means that the city will donate $175. The flight will cost the committee $300. and owing to the beneficience of the city, only $125 remains to be raised to secure the necessary amotiiitv. Alrship For Fourth! Plans are steadily materiali.iif; for one of the biggest fourth of July celebrations ever held in the State of North Carolina tit Monroe on the Fourth of July. "Hurricane," the racing ostrich, Is already a sure at traction, and now the outlook is bright for an airship exhibition on Monroe's and Union county's big day. A donation of $175 from the city last night makes the airjdilp propo sition an almost sure thing. Only about two or three hundred more In needed to make the celebration a complete success from a financial standpoint of view, and Mr. Tom Dil lon stated to The Journal this morn ing that the contributions are rolling in like forty. Many who have al ready contributed to the fund have on learning that an airship exhibition 1 was In sight, gone voluntarily to Mr. Dillon and Increased their donations. More Is yet needed, the Monroe citi zens are expected to contribute with a vim. re expXt'ed fm- celeblation T.'and Monroe is already Thousands and thousands of peo- grooming herself for the entertaln- ment-of the visitors on that day. Since is is almost a certainty that an airship will make a flight on the Fourth, some conservatives estimates, barring bad weather, place the sise of the crowd at not less than ten thousand. Besides making arrange ments for the entertainment of the crowd on a vast scale, the rommittee is also going to make arrangements to see thst everybody will get plenty of fowl and water, so that everybody may come with the assurance of be ing well provided for and entertain ed. There are thousands and thousands of Union county cititens who have never had the pleasure of seeing an airship flight. Thin year, all who desire the pleasure will have an op portunity to see It gratified. Motroe extends an Invitation for everybody to be here on the Fourth.
