SEWARD. ALASKA. MO XDAY, JI NK 1916- _ I
And so it has conic to pass that the two leviathans of the deep, the
British and the Ormans, have joined battle and set a new record to the
horrors of sea lighting a record which has been growing steadily since the
Greeks set out in their rowboats to the conquest of I'roy. That the world
outside has its whole mind concentrated on this terrific contest and its result
is made evident by the fact that the I'nited Tress has rushed thousands of
words telling of the battle to the Gateway. Just now. possibly, we cannot
get the exact facts and days will elapse during which new details will come
that may alter the aspect of matters. In the meantime it would be the course
of wisdom for all of us. American citizens, to refrain from comment of a kind j
that might grate on the ears of those who do not think as we do. It required •
the news of a batt h as that which has occurred in the North Sea to
arouse in all of us the feelings which had lain latent for a long time and
w hich, if not s uppressed, might lead us to unueutral expressions. On the j
streets yesterday one could see that the battle, on whose result the fate of
the British empire might depend, had exercised the Seward mind deeply, far
away as Seward is from the scene of strife., bet us remember henceforth j
that life is made less pleasant by remarks levelled against the nationality of
our predilections. Follow tho advice of Woodrow Wilson—lie neutral.
If the seven British ships reported lost in Saturday s cable "ere really i
lost it vui'W mean a U os of 146.000 tons. The Warspitc was 27,500 tons,
the Marlborough 25.000, Queen Mary 27.000. Indefatigable 1S,»00, Invincible
17.250. Black Prince 16,550 and the Defence 14.600.
The German battle cruiser Seydlitz, reported pursued and damaged, "as
24,610. Vessels of the kaiser class are of 10.614 tons. The Pomme.M "as of
12.007 tons. The Wiesbaden does not appear m the records available in this
tefice. It is probably a new ship or not of heavy class enough to be mention
ed. The probability is. that it is too new to get in the records. 1 he Ilimicn
burg is also omitted a; it was finished since the war began.
At the beginning of the war Great Britain hail completed 60 modern
battleships and Germany had 66. From the reports received so far it looks
as M the British lost more great .>hip.> ami that Germany lost a great many
more smaller vessels in tin* bat Do of last week. The Warspitc and the Marl
borough were finished since the war began, and the Indefatigable and the
Invincible were just built in time for the war.
ZEPPEUNS PRESENT
LONDON, June 3.—Six Zeppelins participated in thei
naval battle off the coast of Jutland last Wednesday, ac
cording to dispatches from Copenhagen to the Daily Mail.
The effect which they exercised on the engagement is not
told but one of the airships was hit several times and bad
ly damaged. It was able, however, to reach the Schleswig
coast after many of her crew had been wounded and all
her supplies had been thrown overboard. The Zeppelins
stood at a great height over the Britsih ships and dropped
powerful bombs. It is not supposed that the aim from
such an altitude at objects comparatively small like war
ships could have been very effective but nothing definite
has been learned yet in this respect.
SURVIVORS LANDED
LONDON, June 3.—The survivors of the British des
troyer Shark which was sunk in the North Sea battle
have been landed at Hull by a Dutch ship. Eighty-five of
the Shark’s crew went to the bottom with their vessel.
The sailors brought here declare that the number of ships
engaged in the battle was about forty. They also say that
the Shark was used by the British admiral as a decoy to
draw out the Germans. Evidently the Shark penetrated
where it was supposed the Germans could see her and give
chase while the British main fleet stood off in different di
rections out of sight but in a position to swoop down from
at least two sides on the pursuers when they got away
from their base.
BRITISH LOST OVER 3.000
PORSMOUTH. England, June 3.—(Sunday)—It is
admitted this afternoon that more than five thousand
British officers and men, including two admirals, were
lost in the naval battle off the coast of Jutland. The list
of dead includes the names of Admiral Hood, the com
mander of the Invincible, and Rear Admiral Arbuthnot,
commander of the cruiser Defence. The whole country
has forgotten everything in the anxiety to secure fuller
news of the tremendous fight but the admiralty is evi
dently desirous of going slowly before giving out full par
ticulars officiallv.

BRITISH SATISFIED
LONDON, June 5.—The public has now become satis
fied that the British won a tactical victory in the North
Sea battle. The estimate of the German losses is growing
and this estimate now is that the Germans lost twenty-five
ships including one dreadnaught. It is officially admitted
by Germany now, it is said, that the dreadnaught is lost.
PURSUING GERMAN
COPENHAGEN, June 5. — Dispatches from Ribe,
Jutland, say that the German battle cruiser Seydlitz was
sighted Thursday morning thirty-eight miles west of
Fano islands going south and pursued by British war
ships. The Seydlitz is reported badly damaged with two
large holes aft. She is a cruiser of about 25,000 tons and
was built in 1912.

TRIAL OF ROFRANO
FOR A POLITICAL
MURDER SCHEDULED
(Special to Gateway by United Press\
NEW YORK, May 31. Michael A.
Rofrano, the Tammany politician and
Assistant New York street commis
sioner who for more than a year
walked around under the very noses
of the Gotham police while they were
scattering his picture and a $5,000 re
ward oiler through every city in the
country in an elfort to capture and
bring him to trial for hiring a gunman
to do the political murder of Michael
Gaimari, is scheduled to go to trial
here today.
Rofrano gave himself up. He said
he was tired of being hunted. He
had been living in a house near Wash
ington Square, had gone to picture
shows and stood beside policemen
who were looking for him. He went
about to conferences with his political
followers.
Rofrano in 1012 split with Tam
many and formed the Home Rule
Democratic club. March 8, 1015,
Gaimari was shot to death.
In May Gaetano Montomagno, a
New York gunman was convicted ol
the murder and sentenced to the
electric chair. Gaimari named
Rofrano as the man higher up.
Rofrano resigned his $5,000 city
job and disappeared.
Gaimari’s slayer, Montomagno, is
now in the death house at Sing Sing,
awaiting execution, but it is expected
he will be brought from the death
house to testify at Rofrano’s trial.
Rofrano said he hid because he
didn’t want to be tried while certain
political conditions obtained.
He said he believes he will be ac
quitted.
