Germans Lost More Than British in Naval Engagement, LONDON, June 6.—Tbe British Admiralty Sunday afternoon gave out a statement declaring that pending he ,compilation ratio of details f na n fi Po last Wednesday's North Sea battle these facts have been positively estab- lished; The German reports of the battle are false. The German Tosses were heavier than the British, not merely in pro- portion, but positively. The arrival on the scene of battle of the main body of ,the British high seas fleet was the signal for the Ger- man fleet to. speed back to its base. Previous to Sir John Jellicoe's ar- rival the German fleet had been se- verely punished. Sir John took up the pursuit. The two main bodies were repeatedly fn momentary con- tact, but the Germans' flight made it impossible for the British to bring their full force into play. Darkness put a stop to the pursuit, and then the destroyer flotilla took rep the chase and successfully attack- ed the Kaiser's warships. Late Sunday night a German Ad- miralty statement was received here, asserting tbat the German fleet suf- fered no losses beyond those admit- ted in Saturday's official account. While the British 'Admiralty does leat`eTte 'n•ames to support its asser- tibn that the German losses were heavier than the British, it declares tatttt anhere'seenis to be the strongest krovnei for supposing" that the fol- lowing units were lost by the Ger- mans: Two battleships, two Dreadnought battIecruisers on. the "most powerful type," two Iigheruisers of the latest type (Wiesbaden and Elbing), one light cruiser of the Rostok (1912) type, the light cruiser Frauenlob, at least nine destroyers, one submarine. This would make a total of eight warships, nine destroyers and one submarine, a grand total of 18 ves- sels, as against only six warships and 'eight destroyers—a grand total of 14 ,vessels—admittedly lost by the Brit- ish. The British claim brings the Ger- manloss fn tonnage--tbus far as- serted by Berlin to be only 49,000— welI up to or even beyond the Brit- ish, ritish, loss of I2:5.,000 tons. RUSSIAN DRIVE BEGINS. Thirteen Thousand Teuton Prisoners TaIeern ea First Day. LONDON, Juane S.—On a front of S5 miles irons the Rokitno Swamp, not far south et Pinsk, down to the westernmost strip of Bessarabia, the Russians; during the Last 24 hours have begun. the long -expected eoncentrated infantry attack against the Austro-Hungarian lines_ The net result at the first day of the herrn alriwe, avu'srding to the Pet- rograd War Office. consists in ISai00 prisoners taken in "important suc- cesses; achieved In many see tors." The gtea:t attack is still in itspre- liminary stage,. the Russian official remit indicates, saying that ''the fighting is developing." Al/ along the south-western front in Russia,. where the Teuton Iines are defended" chiefly by Austrians, the Czar's `heavy artillery has opened a violent fire and indications are that the Russians are planning a new of- fensive on a Iarge scale against the Austrians,. earidentry with the view to making fmpossibre the withdrawal of reinforcements for the Austrian of- fensive on the Trentino, and possibly for the purpose of forcing the de- spatcb of Austrian troops from that front to the Russian battle Tine- ' Such an offerrsihe by the Russians at this time would arso have an ef- fect upon the Verdun fighting, where Austrian reinforcements were report- ed to lea's'e arrived bast week. Tbe Russian artillerry fire during the Test 24 hours has been particularly vio- lent en, a front of 25 kilometres (about IT mites) near °lyke. This town lies srigbtly to the southeast of the Volbynian fortress of Lvtzk, in Teuton hands since last fall, and due north of the fortress of Dubno, also captured fn the great Teuton drive ten months ago. The Russian attack in this region is facilitated by the base at Rorno, the third Yoniiynfart fortress, which the Austro -German forces.irave vain- ly tried for months to approach. On the Dnefster and the lower Strypa, as well as north-west of Tarnopol, on the Galician frent,rwhich is defended exclusively by Austro-Hungarian troops, the Russian big guns are equally active. AEROPLANES BROUGHT DOWN. German Craft Are Wrecked in Air Raid on Toni. , PARIS, June 6.—The German aeroplanes wjalch bombarded Tout on Sunday were brought down by a French "pursuing squadron. Tho French -official report says: "Sunday at' noon a group of Ger- man aeroplanes dropped several bombs on Toul. Six persons were killed and about ten were wounded. The material damage was of 'slight importance. No military establish- ment was struck. "A' pursuit' squadron from Toul took the air immediately and vigor- ously pursued the enemy aeroplanes, one of which was brought down in our lines at Sanzey, twelve kilo- metres north of Toul. Two other enemy aeroplanes, struck by the mi-' trailleuse fire of our machines, de- scended abruptly in the German lines." Ling Constantine May Abdicate.

For Positions, Fierce Battle in Which Canadian Very HaveBeen 'i ez y Severe is Still in Progress, but Recap- tured TrenchesIlave Been Found Untenable and Have Been Given Up --Mercer and Williams Miss- ing. LONDON, June 6 --TLe British and Germans are fighting hard in the region of Ypres, where last Satur- day the Canadians in hand-to-hand encounters and with the aid of bombs recaptured most of the trenches the Germans had previously taken from them in the sector from the Ypres- Comines Canal to Hooge point. In the face of repeated attacks by the enemy the Canadians have been un- able to retain tho bulk of the recap- tured ground, but are still fighting strenuously to keep what they have and recapture what they have lost. Maj. -Gen. 'Mercer and Brig. -Gen. Williams, of the Third Ctuadian division, are missing, .and one is the spirited engagement in the direc- tion of Zillebeke, between Hooge and the Ypres -Merin railway. The Brit- ish repgrt>states :that the two officers were inspecting the trenches;and says that they are "missing," but the fact gf.the, eapture, of one of them is chronicled in the German ..re- port, which announced the ''telle- cessful storming of the ridges south-east of°Zillebeke and the Brit- ish position beyond, with the capture of a slightly -wounded general, a MAJOR -GENERAL MERCER. major, 13 other officers, and 350 un- wounded•men. The British were said to have suffered heavy losses. . The British statement admitted a German advance of 700 yards, but asserted that the Canadian troops recaptured much of this ground. Wounded officers reaching London late Sunday night report that Gen- eral Mercer, severely wounded, has been taken to Boulogne Hospital. 11 this is correct it is General Williams who has been taken prisoner. The British official statement is- sued at midnight Saturday gave the following account of the battle: "Fighting of a very severe nature continued unceasingly south-east of Ypres between Hooge and the Ypres- Menin railway. Following on their initial advantage obtained Saturday evening in penetrating our forward line in this neighborhood, the Ger- mans pushed their, attack during the night and succeeded in pushing through our defences to a depth of 700 yards in the direction of Zille- beke. "The Canadian troops, however, who are holding- this sector of the defences, launched counter -strokes at 7 o'clock this morning, which have succeeded in gradually driving the enemy from much of the ground he had gained. The Canadians behaved with the utmost gallantry, counter- attacking successfully after a heavy and continued bombardment. "The enemy losses were severe. A large number of German dead were abandoned on the rehaptured ground. General Mercer and General Wil- liams, of the Third Canadian divi- sion, who were inspecting the front trenches Saturday during the bom- bardment, are, missing." Sunday night British official said: "The situation around Ypres has not materially altered. There have been artillery bombardments, and our troops retain the ground regained in their counter-attacks Saturday. No fresh attacks have been undertaken by us." Tbe German report of the fight as contained in Saturday's official com- munication reads: "We captured by storm on Friday the ridges of the heights south-east of Zillebeke, south-east of Ypres, and the English position beyond,- taking prisoners one general, slightly wounded; one major, and 13 other officers and 350 unwounded•men. The number of prisoners* taken was small, the enemy having suffered very sanguinary losses. During the night attempted counter-attacks made by the enemy were easily re- pulsed." Tbe following four ,officers who took part in recent fighting arrived in London at a late hour Sunday night, Major W. Enver, 49th, abra- sion on back; Lieut. Peu, C.M.R., wound in face; Lieut. Drabble, 49th, wound in cheek and suffering from shell shock; and Lieut. Paton, C.M. R., scalp wound. All the cases are slight. Kingsville Man Killed. WINDSOR, Jpne 6. --William O.

In the village of Hese, near ltanzaki, at the end of the Rokosan range, says the Kobe Yushin, rumors were set afloat not long ago that in the small hours of the morning a phantom could be seen at the Miyama pass, where some time ago a murder was commit- ted by robbers. Tbe ghost, whenever he caught sight of a lonely traveler, would attempt to stop him, as if he had something important to say. Peo- ple reported baving seen a filmy blue light hovering in their path. In the whole village no one dared thereafter to walk that way after dark. The rumor was laughed at by the skeptical police, but late one night a number of officers were instructed to Patrol the haunted pass in the hope of bringing relief to the tortured minds of the timid by proving that there was no ghost or, should be be met, putting him under arrest. Every half hour aft- er midnight a different policeman was to traverse the pass. Up to half past 2 nothing happened. Then one of them saw the blue light in front of him. He blew his whistle and ran—back to the police station. The others also ran—in the same direction. When morning came the wbole coun- tryside joined the police in making search for the ghost. What they found near the scene of tbe blue light was a buman skeleton in a long disused lime kiln. The local scientist declared that the light was a phosphorescence from the poor neglected bones, which were thereppon interred with full Buddhist ceremony at Kase, and the people as far as Kanzaki breathe easier.
