Th 6 Times' Edinburglncorrespondent reports that the Lion's crew extol Admiral Beatty's conduct during the battle, All the time he was l: pn the topmost bridge, directing operations. He gloried in the fight, and eager, active, and delighted as a schqolboy in a. victorious football match.. Ayhon all was over Admiral Beatty thanked hip officers and crow for their magnificent work. The Lion-was heavily battered, but she gave more than she got, and is quite ready-again. The German markmanship was at first admirable, but later on it deteriorated. The Times' Amsterdam correspondent says that the German fleet on May 31 convoyed a large number of fast commerce destroyers, expecting to evade the Grand Fleet and repeat the exploits of the Emden. It is believed that few, if any, of these vessels have returned to port.

The Press Bureau states that a bomb was discovered in the bilgo of a grain steamer that recently arrived in England from the United States. It must have been placed there just prior to loading, and it is believed that it was done by men working in the hold before loading began.
