BERLIN June 11 .(by wireless via Sav-
vllle N. T.). A graphic story of the naval
battle off the Jutland coast has been given
to the Associated Press .correspondent bi
a high sea officer of the German admiralty
staff.
This officer although not present at the
battle had access to all the reports and
now has returned to Berlin after two
days spent among the officers of the high
sea fleet.
"The British grand fleet has been hard
hit In its material and suffered colossal
losses in its personnel" he declared. "We
estimate conservatively that the British
lest 7000 men drowned or killed by shell
Are the most difficult losses to replace.
"The presence with the German fleet of
a squadron of the Fommern class slow
lS-knot ships demolishes completely the
contention that the swift British dread-
naughts were unable to bring on a gen-
eral action had they desired to do so. Our
officers believed they did not do so be-
cause they were so shaken (not demoral
ized tor the vritisn are Drave good sail-
ors) by their losses and damage and par-
ticularly by the Incessant torpedo attacks
during the night that they were unwill-
ing to continue the. action. In this con-
nection several British destroyers on Fri-
day night hailed a vessel off the Swedish
coast and asked where they were.
"An incidental but important nnect or
our victory Is that it will interrupt the
Building oi urmsn commercial snipping
for months as the British yards will bo
for a long time completely occupied in
making repairs to warships.
"The German report of our losses Is
complete. 1 myself saw ail the battleships
or tne Kaiser ciass oi wnicn tne urmsn
pretended to have destroyed two safe In
the harbor."
"One of the most thrilling episodes was
the destruction of a big four-funntlod
armored cruiser which ran squarely under
the guns of our battleships during the
night and was annihilated within four
minutes by our dreadnaughts. In pitchy
darkness with lights out the cruiser ap-
nroached under full speed evidently ut
terly unaware of the presence of the
squadron. She was sighted at a distance
of 1600 yards and received a lull broad
side from the leading German ship the
Westfalen. She ran on another 500 yards
and then turned like a wounded hare but
instead of making away steered a course
parallel to our column 1000 yards distant.

a new Victor Record
A new Victor Record by Melba is a new chapter in the
musical history of the world. . .
"Sweet as the voice of Nellie Melba" is a musical proverb.
The capture of her matchlessly pure notes in a fresh flow of
beauty is an event of genuine importance to those who cherish
genius.
"Songs My Mother Taught Me" an exquisite gypsy lyric
by the Bohemian Dvorak is worthy a place among tne "Melba
classics" to be found only on Victor Records.
In this cameo of a 6ong Melba's art shines in all its crystal
purity and tenderness and freshness. It is a song which every
true appreciator of beauty will surely wish to ada to his library
of Victor Records.

Melba sings onlv for the Victor. She is one of a mighty
company. Practically every great artist and .entertainer of this
generation has like Melba chosen the Victor as the only
instrument capable of reproducing his or her art with unswerv-
ing fidelity.

THE CHURCH CAMPAIGN
Will Co-Operate With the Churches
in Big Movement to Enlarge
Church Membership.
The general secretary of the Stockton
Cal. Young Men's Christian Association
was a visitor during tne past week at
the Houston Young Men's' Christian As-
sociation. ' After attending the Interna-
tional convention at Cleveland he had
been making a visit to many of the larger
associations of the East He was very
much Impressed with the Houston build-
ing and said that nowhere had he seen
as handsome a lobby or one as full of
life. It is the universal testimony of
visitors that the Houston association has
the reputation of being one of the most
active In the country.
At a recent meeting of the Doard of di-
rectors a new schedule of membership
rates and terms of payment was author-
ized with the Idea of making it easier
for the young man or boy of small In-
come to become a member. The mem-
bership fee for working 'boys Is now
only S4 to $ per year and the fee may
be paid In monthly installments. A re-
duced fee for young men from 11 to 30
years of age has also been authorized and
Is now In effect A club rate with limited
time privileges Is now obtainable as low
as 17 per year for men. The summer
rates are now on which provide a mem-
bership for a boy for $3 and for men
SS.S0 for the summer months. - The Young
Men's Christian Association building can
accommodate S600 members and ths di-
rectors say that the association must be
serving that many young men and boys
before the close of this year.
The association Is planning to eo- op-
erate with the churches of the city la a
"join the church campaign" for men in
the fall. There are hundreds of men in
Houston that ought to be lined up with
the church and who probably would be If
they were asked to do so. The effort In
this campaign will be to go after men
Just as in other campaigns we have gone
after men's money. ; . -r
