GERMANY MOURNS
THE DEUTSCHLAND'S DEAD
BERLIN, June t.
The shadow of the Deutschland's dead fell heavily across the celebrations to commemorate the Battle of Jutland, which the Germans were taught to regard as the greatest naval victory in history. A naval detachment proceeding to the Unter den Linden to place a wreath on the war memorial in memory of the Deutschland losses marched without music. Rear-Admiral yon Trotha, a Jutland veteran, addressing them, declared: "Seamen have been criminally murdered."
Three days of mourning have been ordei'ed in Germany, and all flags will be flown half-mast and decorated with, crepe streamers.
Meanwhile. German newspapers reiterate the allegation that Bolshevism is to blame for the bombing. They ask why it is always Fascist vesselsItalian and German—which are attacked. :
