London, June 3. The German
dreadnought Westfalen, of 18.C00 tons,
has been added to the steadily grow
ing list of vessels sunk in the great
naval battle, according to a wireless
dispatch from Berlin which says the
German admiralty admits the- loss of
this ship. .
Additions earlier in the day were
German cruiser Elbing, displacing be
tween 4,000 and 5,000 tons, and the
British, destroyer Shark. Nearly all
the men who were on the destroyer
were lost.
The latest British statement shows
that the admiralty views it as not at
all unfavorable to the British. It is
declared they ;rsought out the Ger
mans, engaged the entire fleet and
compelled them to put back to port
and give up "any plan of action they
might have contemplated."
The loss on the British side, esti
mated at 5,000 men, may be nearly
equalled by those of the Germans it
the latest reports on the number oi
German warships lost are confirmed.
In the British casualty list are cap
tain Prowse and the entire comple
ment of the cruiser Qufien Mary
which probably had between 900 and
950 men on board? Rear Admiral
Hood was lost" when the cruiser In
vincible was sunk. '
Two of the Zeppelins, which played
such an important part in the en
gagement by keeping the Germans in
formed of the British fleet move
ments, were destroyed,' according to
reports brought in by Danish fisher
men who declare that the entire crew
of one of the airships perished when
their craft was burned.
According to one report today Brit
ish warships are watching off the
Danish coast for the appearance of
eight German warships which are de
clared to have taken refuge in Danish
ports after the North Sea battles .be
ing given 24 hours to leave by the
Danish authorities.
There is no news of other ships
but the Germans report they picked

ESTIMATED THAT 150
SHIPS WERE ENGAGED.
London, June 3. A report
from The Hague, as forwarded
from Amsterdam to the Central
News, says six German destroy
ers were sunk by the British and
that a large cruiser, severely
damaged, was towed to Kiel. It
is estimated that 150 ship were
engaged. It is not considered
probable the shipwrecked tail
ors will be interned in Holland,
at they have promised not to
attempt to escape.
Scene Laid for Fight and the Man Who Will Start the Action
HOLDING FIRST
STATE PRIMARY
Much Interest in Race for Gov
ernorship Returns May Be
Late Coming In.
RuleIgh, Jun 3. Candidates for
membership in the national house of
representatives. State offices and coun
ty offices in more than 60 counties
were being nominated today in the
first State primary ever held in North
Carolina.
The primary virtually was a Demo
cratic one, as the Republicans pre
viously had agreed upon a State ticket
headed by Frank Linney, of Boone, for
governor. As there were no contests
for nominations for State offices, Re
publicans had only the opportunity for
expressing their preference for a pres
idential and vice-presidential candi
date and voting for several county
nominees.
Interest was centered on the race
between Lieutenant Governor Daught
ridge and Attorney General Biclsett
for the governorship.
." Four candidates were Beeking the
nomination in the seventh district to
succeed Representative U. N. Pago,
who recently announced he would not
seek re-election.
Lieutenant governor, auditor and su
perintendent of public instrustion are
the only State offices uncontested.
Because of the length of the ballot
it is expected the returns will be late
coming in.

DENIES THE REPORT OF
LOSS OF TWO SHIPS
London, June 3. Capt. Wm."
Hall, chief of the intelligence di
vision of the admiralty, author
izes the Associated Press to say:
"The German report of the loss
of the Maxborough and. Warspite
is absolutely untrue. Both of
these ships are safe In harbor.
"The Cerman report that en
tire British fleet wta engaged is
also -untrue. A portion of the
British fleet, much inferior to the
total battle fleet of the Germans,
engaged that fleet and drove it
back into its harbor. The British
control the North Sea."

Germans Are Elated
Over the Result of
Naval Engagement
Full German High Sea Fleet Engaged But
Berlin Says British Fleet Estimated As
Twice as Strong Two Battles
iBerlin, (via wireless to Sayvllle). June 3. The ilrst naval battle on a
grand scale during the war has been attended by results which, according
to information, are highly satisfactory to the Oermaiis, not only! In respect
to the losses of the two fleets but in the fact that the Germans maintained
the field after the battle. This is shown, it is asserted, by' the rescue
of their survivors.
The full Cerman high sea lleot was engaged under personal command of
Vice Admiral Scheer, who succeeded Admiral Von J'olil. Tho illrltlsh fleot
is now estimated as twice as strong In guns and ships as that undor Ad
miral Scheer.
Detailed reports have not yet been received but tho main' engagement
occurred about 125 miles southwest of the southern extremity of Norway
and l.'O miles off the Danish coast. The battle was dlvldod into two sec
tions. The day engagement began at 4 o'clock lu the afternoon and con
tinued until darkness or until about 9 o'clock. This was followed by a so
ries of separate engagements throughout the night.
The exact ranges of the day fight have not been ascertained. It is as
sumed the ranges of the day engagements were not extreme, possibly
about 8 miles, as the weather was hazy. '
The German torpedo boats were more effectivo than the 'British, aa
counting to some extent for the successes of the Germans aalnBt a su
perior force. It is understood tho Queen Alary and Indefatigable' were sunk
in the day battle. It has not been learned when the Warspite and other
vessels went down. .
The loss of the Warspite Is denied officially by the British.
All the German warships except those mentioned in the official report
reached Wllhelmshaven safely. Thus far nothing has been reported regard
ing the extent to which these vessels wero damaged.
It is stated that at least 34 British capital ships were engaged.
The Westfalen alone sank six torpedo boats during the night encount-
