vocation, The measure of opportunity

The work of the Christian reeolves it-
self into the work of restoring the er-
ring. It is the most delicate form of
philanthropy to deal with a brother's
sins. It requires an, absence of self -

and gentle dealing, The law of Christ
is the law of universal love. It re-
quIres every man to be intereeted in

tern necessity into sacred duty. It
teauires a sympathy which overcomee

law of co-o.peration, of mutual duty.
Relationships to one another, with the
possession, of advantages and talents,
involve manifold responsibilitiers. This
law forbids all moral indifference to
others, all severity •and uneeceseary
censure. No one can fulfil the spirit of
the law of .Christ who does not dwell
in the spirit of love. It must be a liv-
ing principle and persistent habit, di-
vinely begotten and sustained. The

sors title afternoon simultaneously
lifted the lid which for 24 hours had
painstakingly hidden from the world
the greatest event of the war. Both
in Berlin a,nd London brief concise
Achniralty statements were released
announcing that the thing that has
been uppermost in everybody's imag-
ination sine the outbreak of the war
had finally come to pass -the Ger-
man and British high seas fleets had
clashed in open battle.
On the afternoon of May alt -last
Wednesday -it appears, a powerful
squadron of the German bigh seas
fleet, the largest and strongest that
has' yet ventured out into the open,
met, either by design or accident, a
large body of the British battle fleet,
and there ensued, in point of armor
and guns, the most terrific sea fight of
history.
As yet the news officially given out
is meagre and sheds only a dim light
upon what actually occurred, but
these facts have been positively
established by the German and Brit -
Leh Admiralty heads,
The 13ritish admit the loss of six
warships and eight destroyers. The
Germans admit the loss of bne battle-
ship,one third-class cruiser and sev-
eral torpedo boat. They admit fur-
ther that one protected cruiser is
missing. The German Admiralty
claims that the British lost six war-
ships, including the • super -Dread-
nought Warspite, of the Queen Eliza-
beth class -27,500 tons, and many
destroyers and one submarine, and
that one battleship, the 'Marlborough,
was seriously .damaged.. ,
GERMANY LOST SEVEN.
The British Admiralty, in the other
hand, denies the lost of the Warspite
or any battleship and asserts the
Germans lost one Dreadnought bat-
tleship of the Kaiser clase-one of
the newest type of German warships,
of 24,700 tons -one battle cruiser of
the modern Doerflinger class, one
light cruiser, six destroyers and one
submarine, It is further claimed
that another Dreadnought of the
Kaiser class was blown up, a third is
believed to have been sunk by gun-
fire, one battle cruiser disabled and
forced to stop, and a. third seriously

heard the cautionade for over four
hours while going east around the

CALL BATTLE A
GERMAN DEFEAT
Enemy's Plight When Main
British Fleet Came On
So Proves It.
BUT A HEAVY BLOW
New Naval Policy Comes in
for Hard Raps From
Some Papers..
London Cable says -The morning
newspapers, while admitting the seri-
ous nature of the Bride?, loss in the
naval battle off autlaxtd, uniformly
insist that the battle cannot possibly
have any adverse effect on the naval
situation. Most editorials, Moreover,
declare that in its •ultimate effect the
battle must rank as a British victory,
owing to the arrival of the 13ritish
main tieet on the scene of actioa.
The Daily Chronicle's naval expert
says;
"It is quite clear that the mein
German fleet was trying tocome out,
and that our battle cruisers Intercept-
ed them and held them up, and that
they finally were forced to return to
port. In other words, Admiral Jane
coe's grand fleet came up after our
battle cruisers had held the enemy,
.and tee enemy retired. The German
fleet admitted its inability to meet our
grand fleet, and is as securely locked
up, despite its SacCess, at it was be-
fore.
"There remains, nevertheless, a
black page in our naval history in so
far as lose of splendid ships and
splendid lives are Concerned, It is

"The Germans doebtleee hope that

The Morning Pest says;

that there shall be no more surrend-

NEW POLICY CONDEMNED.
"We fear that the policy which re -

mand of some of our emotional peo-
ple that the fleet do something spec -

considerations would never have in-

ferior force almost within sight of
the enemy coast, enabling it to be

Six Orange 'Ulster Counties
to be Excluded Till After
the War,
(BY Times Special Wire).
New 'York, June 5.-A special =bid
to the World from. London says:
The World correspondent re-
ceived last night front an an-
thentie source the outline of the set-
tlement tentatively agreed on between
Sir Edward Careen and John Red- .
mond, which Carson is to submit to
Itis follatvere at Belfast on Tuesday.
Under its tame a Home Rule Par-
liament will be immediately set up hi
Dublin, three southern Irish provincee,
arid also the three Ulster countiee of
Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan, the
remaining six Uleter counties to con-
tinue under the British Parliament
until the end of the wstr, when the
question of these excluded counties
will be reconsidered.
In order that the Nationalists may
be in no worse position whea the
time for this reconsideration comes,
It is propceed that the whole Irish re -
Presentation in the British. Parliament
remain during the interval at • its
present strength. Itt other word, the
Nationalists, while gettiug Home Rule
at once for five -sixths of Ireland,
would be in exactly the sante position
after the war to fight for the remain-
ing aixth as they are at present.
. In pursuance of the policy of
avoiding general elections during the
war, the Irish Parliament le to consist
of the Present representatives for the
area coming under its jurisdietion, an
arrangement which will have the cur-
ious effect that Carson and Campbell,
the present Irish Attorney -General,
will be the only Unioniste included in
the Dublin Legislature.
Reports from Belfast state that Col.
Craig, who went over last week as ad-
vance agent for Carson, found it
meet difficult to get the local Orange
leaders even to look at the terms *pro-
pocied, they liolding there must be an
unconditional exelusioe of all 'Ulster,
but they are how said to adopt a more
chasteneed attitude, and it is hoped
Carson will succeed in taking them
over on Tuesday,
The Ulster Nationalists, for their
Part, are most reluctant to allow any
portion of the Province to be excluded,
but the best opinion of both sides is
that once Home Rule is in operation
the force or circumstances will cause
even the bitterest Orangemen to de-
cide to throw in their lot with the
rest of the' country.

Force in Mexico to Stay Till
Carranza is Strong
And Shows His Ability to
Control Country.
Washington Report -It was stated
authoritatively to-daet that American
troops will not be withdrawn from
Mexico until the Carranza authorities
demonstrate control of the situation
sufficient to protect • the American
border. .A. reply to that effect prob-
ably will be made to General Car-
ranza's note. President Wilson was
represented to -day as ready to with-
• draw the troops when possible, but
determined to wait until the Carranza
forces can control the situation,
President Wilkie and Secretary of
State Lansing to -day took up consid-
eration of General Carranza's latest
note. The document contained the
threat of armed resistance unless Ante
erican troops are withdrawn, from
Mexico, and charged inconsistency on
the part of the United States in pro-
testing friendship for Mexico- while
maintaining within her border an
armed force which Carranza consid-
ers unnecessary.
