under Captain Gautier, turned back
and cruised again toward the outlet
of the channel. They encountered
east of Dover a greater number of
British destroyers afd scouting ves-
sels. Sharp engagements at close
range occurred.
. "One enemy scouting ship was sunk
by a torpedo and several others were
damaged and one probably was sunk.
"Of our torpedo boats the G-86 and
G.42 have not returned from these
engagements and must be considered
lost. All the other vessels returned
undamaged without losses.
"Portions of our forces which push-
ed forward south of the Thames
mouth met no enemy war vessels and
could only bring in some prisoners of
merchantmen."
The London Version.
The British admiralty appends to
this communication the following:
"The statements contained in the
foregoing official statement are not in
accordance with the facts. No British
vessels of any sort were sunk or even
seriously damaged. The only British
force that came into contact with the
five Uerman destroyers was composed
of two destroyer leaders, with the re-
sults already published (two German
destroyers and possibly three sunk; ten
German officers and 108 men saved.)
"Tho inference Implied in the Ger-
man message that the enemy was
anxious for an encounter with our
patrols Is not borne out, from the fact
that tho engagement lasted only a few
m'nutes, after which tho remnant of
the enemy made off at high speed
and owed their escape to the darkness.
"With regard to the last paragraph
in the German communique the sole
result of the German raid appears to
have been the capture of three men
of the crew of the British Inrge Iver-
mia, which was found abandoned.

at order of precedence and passed Into
the president's room at the entrance
of which a number of automobiles had
been brought up in line for their re-
ception.

bassador, Counsellor Polk and Coun-
sellor Barclay.

start the cavalry guard enveloped the
party.
Crowds Cheer Party.
As the party started on its way up
Massachusetts avenue the crowds
burst into cheers and applause, to
which Mr. Balfour and the others re-
sponded by bowing right and left.
The route lay up Massachusetts ave-
nue to Sixteenth street the stately
thoroughfare for some years known
officially as "avenue of tho presi-
dents" to the palatial MacVeagh
homestead, just beyond the crest of a
hill and within a few hundred yards
of the French embassy building.
Passing the latter the visitors were
greeted by Ambassador Jsserand,
Who with Mme. Jusserand and the
full staff of the embassy, saluted them
from the portico over the entrance.
The salute was returned by the en-
tire party.
One Slight Accident.
After the official party had left the
president's reception room at the
union station and the troop of cav-
alry acting as rear guard had begun
its march, the only accident which
served to mar the occasion in the least
occurred.
A horse belonging to one of the
troopers slipped on the smooth street
surface and lunged into the crowd
Which had lined the route of the pro-
cession. The trooper lost his seat, but
retained control of his mount. A
negro was slightly Injured by the fall-
ing horse.
A detachment of regular soldiers
Will remain on guard constantly
around the MaeVeagh residence dur-
ing the stay of Mr. Balfour and his
party.
Most of the members of Mr. Bal-
four's party left the house soon after
their arrival, some going for automo-
bile rides about the city. Others
called at, the British embassy.
They said that Mr. Balfour was
tired out by his journey and would
irest as much as possible until to-
morrow.
With the Balfour party safely in
Washington, the state department has

the long trip by way of Halifax,
Vanceboro, Maine, Portland, and Wor-
cester, which was surrounded with se-
crecy and precautions never before
equalled In this country.
Gcrmnas Elmlcd.
The British commissioners stole se-
cretly away from England April 11
on a fast cruiser, protected in every
possible way from German spies who
might have got out word to lurking
submarines. The voyage was entirely
uneventful however, and the parly ar-
rived at Halifax Friday. Crossing to
St. John, a special train took them
to the little Canadian town of Mc-
Adam, just across the international
bridge, whlch'Werner Horn, a former
German officer, attempted to blow up.
Meanwhile the American reception
committee, headed by Assistant Sec-
retary of State Long, Rear Admiral
Fletcher, and MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood
slipped out of Washington last Sun-
day night under the impression that
the British had started two days
earlier than they did. With a five car
special train standing with steam up
at the station, the committee waited
anxiously from Monday until Friday
afternoon when word came from Hal-
ifax which sent them on a night ride
to the border.
Party Reaches Vanceboro.
At 8 o'clock Saturday morning, the
party arrived at the little frontier
town of Vanceboro. The American of-
ficials, with the army and navy rep-
resentatives in uniform, descended to
a dingy and deserted station platform
in a thick cold mist.
News of the distinguished guests'
arrival soon brought a small crowd of
railroad workers, farmers and French
Canadians, reinforced by a squad of
youngsters who came marching up
with three worn American flags.
Visitors Greeted.
To these modest surroundings, the
special train which had gone on to
McAdam, returned two hours later
bearing England's eminent statesmen.
As it drew across the bridge Into the
station, Assistant Secretary Long and
his party mounted the rear of the
observation car and disappeared inside
to welcome the commission formally
to American soil. The little knot out-
side in the drizzle looked through the
windows wonderingly.
Tli# Affable Mr. Balfour.
In less than ten minutes the train
was under way for the capital with
the various British and American of-
ficials settling down to simple and in-
formal talks which continued through-
out the long Journey. Mr. Balfour
passed frequently In and out of the
observation car, making acquaintance
of the American officials and placing
every one at his ease.
The various members of the com-
mission, including Mr. Balfour him-
self, have brought with them much of
the atmospheric of quiet suffering and
pain that has afflicted England dur-
ing the last two and a half years.
"Even in the few hours we
iinvc been In the United States,"
Mr. Balfour said, "we have been
struck with tlie ntmosphere of
calm and peacefnlncss which nat-
urally prevails. Wo feel ourselves
far removed here from the stress
and horror that Germany has
thrust on Europe, much as inaiiy
of our people felt distaut from
France in the early days of the
war. Tho United States, fortu-
nately, probably will never expe-
rience the human losses that
France for so long and ourselves
during the past months experi-
enced."
"Nevertheless," Mr. Balfour' added,
"I doubt if you can forsee what fun-
damental changes tho war will bring
into your ordinary life. We in Eng-
land look back with amazement at
tho vital changes during our past
thirty months of mobilization and
imagine many of the changes we have
gone through, so salutory even for
themselves atone, will be repeated
here.''
Surprise Even Germany.
Mr. Balfour, while unwliling to
speculate on what form American
participation in the war might take,
said he had no doubt that America's
efforts would astonish the world, par-
ticularly Germany, lie indicated it
was his opinion that if Germany had
foreseen how fully the United States
would enter the struggle she would
not have precipitated war between the
two countries.
More and more it has become evi-
dent that the commission aside from
any technical aid it may render to this
cpuntry, has come over for a general
and broad understanding of the whole
American point of view without as yet
having outlined a specific program in
Its own mind.
It Is thought probable, therefore,
that the direction the conferences are
to take will be given largely by Presi-
tent Wilson and SerreUcv JJJfg|s§
and that the British delegates will
gladly welcome whatever lead is given
them, in that way, It Is thought, they
best can obtain the American view-
point and harmonize any allied poli-
cies that seem inconsistent with
American Ideas.

sel was sunk by a torpedo and several
others were heavily damaged and
one probably sunk.
The German statement also says no
enemy warships were encountered
south of tho Thames, tho German de-
stroyers had tu be content with bring-
ing in some prisoners from merchant-
men. The Germans admit the loss of
two of their destroyers.
No English Vcwsel Sunk.
With respect to this statement, the
British admiralty says no British ves-
sels of any sort were sunk or seriously
damaged, and the Germans captured
only three men'of an abandoned
barge.
The German statement reads:
"German light forces on Friday
night advanced in tho eastern chan-
nel and toward the mouth of the
Thames. The fortresses of Dover and
Calias were effectively taken under
fire at short range with altogether
650 shots. An outpost vessel met off
Dover was destroyed.

sel was sighted, portions of our forces

'eternal Bathing's
Fapid Growth
It is but natural to expect that a re-
lief from Constipation and the many
ills which it causes which is so ef-
fectual and so natural as Internal
Bathing should quickly make many
converts.
But its general use has increased so
tremendously In the past few years as
to suggest other reasons, and these
are found in the statements of users
that they feel as if "made over new"
the morning after an Internal Bath.
The elimination of the pernicious
and poisonous waste which is ever
present in the Lower Intestines gives
Nature a chance to work unhamper-
ed. And one arises In the morning
clear-headed, able, bright, confident
and eager for the day's duties.
Mr. Chas. E. Rcsmer, of Brackett-
ville, Tex., writes:
"I received the 'Cascade' about
June 10, and have been using it once
a week since. Before the 'Cascade'
was brought to my notice, very few
days in succession passed that I did
not have a headache and was obliged
to take some kind of medicine for re-
lief, but I am glad to state now, that
I have not had a headache since the
first time of using the 'Cascade.'—
Tours truly."

efficient device for Internal Bathing,

tail at C. L. Reynolds' drug store.
