Calvin.
No General Manager Yet.

successor to General Manager Ware,
who has resigned, Mr. Calvin said:
"Not yet; I will not do this until after
a conference with Mr. Mohler. At
thit time I cannot say who will be
the general manager of the road. Up
to this time I have not considered an
appointment."
As to other changes that come
within the appointive scope of the
president of the Union Pacific, Mr.
Calvin has not given them considera
tion. President Calvin asserts that he
doe:, not co .ie to the Union Pacific
as a stranger, nor to Omaha as a
stranger, lie has frequently been
here and is acquainted with numerous
of the older business men. He was
here as an official of the Union Pa
cific during the regime of S. 11. 11.
Clarke, president.

The family of President Calvin will
come to Omaha to reside, but prob

those who come in contact with him

this being confirmed by the prisoners
rescued. Several of the German ships
rescued parts of the erewi of the
British ships which were sunk, they
including, it is said, two men from
the Indefatigable, the only survivors
from that ship. " .
Of the German side the small cruis
er Wiesbaden was sunk by gun fire
and the Pommern was sent to the
bottom by a torpedo. The fate of the
Frauentobe is not known and some
torpedo boats did not return. The
German high sea fleet, the state
ment adds, returned to port June 1.
Test of Statement.
The text of the German admiralty
report, which is dated June 1, says:
During an enterprise direrted to
the northward our high aea fleet on
May 31 encountered the main part of
the English fighting fleet, which was
considerably superior to our forces.
"During the afternonn between Ska
gerak and Horn Riffe a heavy en
gagement developed, which was suc
cessful for us and which continued
during the whole night
"In this engagement, so far as
known up to the present, there were
destroyed by us the large battleship
Warapite, the battle cruisers Queen
Mary and Indefatigable, two armored
cruisers, apparently of the Achilles
type; one small cruiser, a new flag
ship of destroyers, the Turhanint,
Kestore and Alraster, a large number
-i torpedo boat destroyers and one
submarine.
"By observation, which was free
and clear of objects, it was stated
that a large number of English bat
tleships suffered damage from our
ships and the attacks of our torpedo
boat flotilla during the day engage
ment and throughout the night.
"Among others the large battle
ship Marlborough was hit by a tor
pedo. This was cot.firmed by pris
oner. Many Englishmen Rescued,
"Several of our ships rescued parts
of the crews of the sunken English
ships, among them bring two and
the i. nly survivors of the Indefatiga

eight twelve-inch guns, sixteen four
inch guns and had three twenty-one
inch torpedo tubes. The Queen Mary
and the Indefatigable carried com
plements of between 900 and 950. The
Queen Mary cost about $10,000,000,
while the Indefatigable cost nearly
$8,000,000.
The British dreadnaught Marlbor
ough, said to have been struck by a
torpedo, was of the Iron Duke class.
It was built at Devonport in 1914, dis
placed 25,000 tons, was 620 feet long,
yt feet beam and 27 feet deep, it
carried ten 13.5-inch guns, twelve six
inch guns and a number of smaller
arms. It also was equipped with four
submerged torpedo tubes.
The Invincible was laid down in
1907. It displaced 17,250 tons, was 562
feet long over all, 78 feet beam and
26 feet deep. Its normal complement
was 731. It was armed with eight 12
inch guns, sixteen 4-inch guns and
three torpedo tubes. The Invincible
took part in the naval engagement off
the Falkland. Islands in December,
1914, in which the German Pacific
squadron, after defeating a British
squadron off the Chilean coast, was
destroyed.
Defense And Warrior.
The Defence was built in 1907, dis
placement 14,600 tons, and ordinarily
carried 755 men. Its length was 525
feet, its beam 74 feet and its maximum
draught 28 feet. It was armed with
four 9.2-inch and ten 7-5-inch guns,
sixteen 12 pounders and five torpedo
tubes.
The Defense was built in '907, dis
displaced 13,550 tons and carried 704
men. It was 480 feet long and 73 feet
beam. Its armament was six 9.2 and
ten 6-inch guns, twenty 3 pounders
and three torpedo tubes.
The Warrior, which was disabled,
displaces 13,660 tons and is 480 feet
long. Its complement is 704 men and
it carries six 9.2-inch and four 7.5-inch
guns, twenty-four 3 pounders and
three torpedo tubes.

The German battleship Pommern,
which was sunk by a British torpedo,
displaced 12,997 tons. It was 39S feet
long, 72 feet beam and 25 feet deep.
The Pommern was built in 1907 at a
cost of about $6,000,000. It carried 729
officers and men. Its armament con
sisted of four 11-inch guns, fourteen
6.7-inch guns, a number of pieces of
smaller caliber and six 17.7-mch tor
pedo tubes.
The Frauenlob, which did not re
turn to the German base after the
naval engagement, was a small Ger
man cruiser displacing 2,715 tons.
Greatest Battle of History.
From the advices thus far received
it would appear that the greatest na
val battle of history has taken place.
Never before have two naval forces
of such magnitude as the British and
German high sea fleets engaged in
combat. But apparently the battle
was not fought out to a point to de
termine mastery of the seas, for the
losses, serious as they are, reported
to have been will not impair the
strength of either fleet to a vital ex
tent. The scene of the battle was in the
eastern waters of the North Sea. It
is probable the German fleet was on
one of the excursions Into the North
Sea which it has taken from time to
time during the war and met, whether
or not by design, with the British
fleet.
Skagerak is an arm of the North
Sea between Norway and Denmark.
The point referred to in the official
German statement as Horn Riff prob
ably is the reef off the Horn on the
southwestern extremity of Denmark.
Previous to this battle Great Brit
ain had lost during the course of the
war ten battleships, eteven cruisers

and various smaller craft. Germany
had lost eighteen cruisers, nineteen
auxiliary cruisers, chiefly converted
passenger liners, and numerous small
er vessele.
Since the beginning of the war
British cruisers and destroyers have
patrolled during day and night the
approaches to the German fleet's
base, in the bay formed by the mouths
of the Elbe and the Weser, protected
by the mighty fortifications of Wil
helmshaven on the south and on
the north by the supposedly impreg
nable defenses of the Kiel canal and
guarded by the outlying island of
Helgoland. Until the engagement
that has just occurred, however, no
German fleet has put forth in force to
necessitate the giving of the alarm
to the British main fleet.
News of the engagement was held
back by the British authorities, pos
sibly pending the return home of the
fleet and the first word received of
th battle came by wireless from
Berlin, by which means the Germans
are able to escape the censorship over
cable lines. , .
Losses Are Enormous.
The losses in the engagement must
have been extremely heavy. The bat
tle cruiser Indefatigable, for instance,
from which the German admiralty re
ports only two men were saved, prob
ably had more than 900 men on board
and others of the vessels sunk car.
ried complements of men equally or
nearly as large.
The dreadnaught Warsprlte was a
sister ship of the Queen Elizabeth,
both of which played a prominent
part in the attempt of the British
Mediterranean fleet to force the Dar
danelles. The Warsprite was 650 feet
long and displaced 27,500 tons. It was
built in 1914 at a cost of $12,500,000.
The Warsprite is reported to have
carried eight sixteen-inch guns in
place of the fifteen-inch guns carried
by the Queen Elizabeth. It also was
equipped with twelve or sixteen six
inch guns, twelve four-inch guns, four
three-pounders and was fitted with
four twenty-one inch torpedo tubes.
Its complement was 750.
The Queen Mary and the Indefatig
able were both British battle cruisers
of 27,000 and 18,750 tons displace
ment, respectively. The Queen Mary
was 720 feet long, eighty-seven feet
beam and drew thirty feet of water.
The Queen Mary was completed in
1913, It carried eight 13.5-inch guns,
sixteen four-inch guns and was equip
ped with three twenty-one inch tor
pedo tubes.
Two Other Battles.
Two long months of watchful wait
ing by the British, however, were
broken into by two naval engage
ments in both of which the British
were victorious. On August 26, 1914,
Admiral Sir David Beatty in an en
gagement almost under the guns of
the great Helgoland fortress sank
three German armored cruisers and
two deatroyers. The German loss was
2,500 men.
On January 24, 1915, a German
squadron attempting a raid on the
British coast encountered Admiral
Beatty off the Dogger Banks. The
German cruiser Bluecher was sunk
and two of its sister ships set on fire.
The most serious losses to the Brit
ish fleet hitherto have been through
operations of submarines and mines.
On September 22. 1914, the British
cruisers Hogue, Cressy and Aboukir
were torpedoed within an hour by the
German submarine U-9.
