( There ? were some tt.ooo moii tin the
ships which sank, and oitly u few
have been saved, The honors of moil
I'i'H naval warfare, far exi'oodinK those
when wooden ships fought ami run
tinned to float even when they ceased
to he lighting units, were realised to
this utmost. From live *?r the largest
Khii?s which wont under with u com
plement of more than 4,000 men, only
seven Junior officers ami a few sea
man were rescued.
Ilea r Admiral the Honorable Horace
Lambert Jlood. second in command to
Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, and
Captains Sowerhy, Cay and Piow.se
wort* lost with many others, wliose
names are not yet known because the
(internment has not so far issued any
casualty list. There were no siirrcnd
el's, and the ships whleh went down
carried with them virtually their whole
crows. Only the Warrior, which was
towed part way from the scene of
battle to n British i>ort. was an c\
coptlon.
Of some thousand men on the (juocii
Mary,, only a cor|H>ral's guard is ac?
counted for. The same Is true of the
Invincible, while there are no surviv
ors reported front the Indefatigable,
the I kefeuse of the Black Piiuee. '
It is tm|sisslhle to visualize any
coherent story of the main ha 1 1 le,
which lasted many hours, with the
different units at times lighting scat
tored engagements. The British and
German reports contradict each ether
flatly on the main fact. The British
ussert that the German fleet retired
when the British battleships appeared,
while the German official statement
maintains that the German forces were
In battle with the entire British fleet.
The British assert that they ' had
only two divisions engaged, and that
all the units of these were not able
to participate in the lighting and, fur
thermore, that Admiral Sir John .1 el 11
coe, commander of the Grand Fleet,
remained in tlie area of the battle
after the Germans had retreated and
swept it thoroughly in search of en
emy ships and , survivors.
Vice Admiral Beatty. commanding
the battle cruiser suadron, presuma
bly on his old llagship. the Iiion. was
again in the thick of tin* action. Every
arm of modern naval warfare was
employed? battleships, cruisers, torjie
do boats, destroyers, submarines and
even ZepjHiins. Whether most. of tlvc
| destruction was accomplished by gun
?lre or torjiedoes is not yet known.
British officers say that the battle was
l'oughi by the methods known and
practiced bv all navies. There were
no surprise- and no new devices of
weapons or strategy.
IIow fill" the Zepjndins contributed
to the German successes Is 'a matter
of dispute. Only one airship was with
in sight, according to the British ac
counts. and she was soon badly dam
aged and withdrew. But the Germans
lay stress 011 the assistance rendered
by their air service, and neutrals re
>port tlie presence of six Zeppelins in
the North Sea. The popular belief
among the British public is that scout
ing Zeppelins kept the German licet
informed by wireless of the approach
of their enemy, of his numbers and
formation. .
From survivors come thrilling sto
ries of the horrs and humanities. The
British destroyed Shark noted as a
decoy to lead the German ships into
the engagement. She was battered to
pieces by gunfire, and a half-dozen
sailors, picked up clinging to a buoy
by a lianish ship, tell of her commend
or and two seaman serving her only
remaining gun to the last, minute, when
the eomamnder's leg was blown oft'.
There are stories of ships sinking
with a great explosion, of crews fil
ing down singing the National anthem;
of merchant. shij>s passing through a
sea thick with floating bodies.
A lifeboat with German survivors
from the German cruiser IClbing res
cued Surgeon Burton of tlie British
destroyer Tipperary. He had sustain
ed four wounds. Two well-known
London clergymen who had volunteer
ed to serve as chaplains" at the begin
ning of the war. Air. Lyndell and Mr.
I^epatourel. both of the Church of
England, are among the missing. Mr.
Lyndell, a nephew of Field Marshall
French, was to have been married hi
London on Monday.
Portsmouth is a town of mourning.
Three thousand of the men who went

The Admiralty has been crowded

of all el autoes trying to learn the fate
of relatives. Only the names <>f sur

The Winter Cantaloupe or Cassaba
Melon.
The Winter Cantaloupe Is planted
about, the first of Jinny" From three
to six seed are placwl.' in a hill aiul
are <i>vered with about thr?H> inehps
of soil. The hills should be some six
to eight feet apart in Mnvs live feet
apart.
This melon thrives best in a sandy
loam soil rich in humus, a soil whlcli
is quick and .reaqionds readily to good
treatment. Do not. plant In a garden
s|w>t. A fertilizer analyzing eight parts,
of phosphoric, add. live parts of nitro
gen. and seven parts of |>otash. or 11
high grade fertilizer will be suitable
for this crop when applied at. the rate
of six to eight, hundred pounds per
acre. Work fertilizer Into the soil
thoroughly about each bill.
The cultural methods are about the
same as for cantaloupes. This melon
can be grown with or without irriga
tion. The danger in Irrigation being
in getting t<n> much water into the
tissues ?>f the melon, thus causing it
t<? rot after it is storeii. Through ex
|H>riments in the Caroliuas for two
years we have found that Ibis melon
requires a long growing season. At two
points melons have been grown and
stored from September to latter part
of November. Commence surfaee cul
tivation as soon as plants apiwar and
continue at short intervals until vines
cover ground. _ Do not move vines for
purpose of cultivation.. The vine i>
hard/ and prolific. Harvesting takes
place in September and October and
should be done just before melons get
iiix\ The melons are immcdiatch
| stored in a cool dark dry cellar or
similar place where they keep during
; the winter. When you want to eat
the melon place it. in the sun j^nd with
in a few hours it will hare changed
from a dark green to yellow color. It
is then ready for the knife. ]>epper
| and salt, sugar or straight, just as
you prefer it. Taste partakes of the
nature of the cantaloupc and the pine
apple. Hind is crinkly and thin, tlesh
about two inches thick, and is tender
and of a pale color. Age improves the
flavor of this delicious fruit. Size <>f
the 1o|m? from one and one-half to four
pounds.
In sections of New Mexico and Cali
fornia this melon is l>eing successfully
and profitably grown and we are box
ful of developing the Cassaba Melon
industry along the Seaboard Air Line
Railway passing through the famous
sandhill section of the Carolinas.
This office has secured some seed
through the Carolina Seed Co.. hie..
Hamlet, X. C.. and 'will be glad t ? ?
supply some seed to i>eople along t lie?
' Seat board who are interested In trying
the Cassaba Melon this year. We are
eneouruged with the good results ob
tained during the past, two years by
growers at Hamlet, Hoffman and Lem
on Springs who were successful with
small area of Oassabas. The demand
for this winter cantalou|>e is very good
in the Eastern markets and we will
assist you iii marketing any melons
grown along the Seaboard.
