LONDON, June 12-Message to the men of the British fleet was given out here officially tonight. Admiral Jellicoe expressed high apprecation in which the ships of the fleet had fought dur- in the Jutland Sea Fight of May 31st. At this stage when full information is unavailable, said the Admiral. it is im- possible to enter into details but quite sufficient in known, for me to state def- initely that the‘ glorious traditions han ded down to us by generations of gal- lant seamen were most worthily up- held. Weather conditions that were highly unfavorable robbed the fleet or the complete victory expected by air ranks. - Our losses were heavy. We miss many most gallant comrades. But al- though it is difficult to obtain accurate information as to the enemy’s losses, I have no doubt we shall find they cer- tainly were not less than our own. Suf- ficient information already has been received for me to make that state- ment with confidence. I hope to give the fleet fuller information on this point at an early date. I do not wish to delay appreciation of the work of the fleet and myconfidence in a future complete victory. The wrnderful spirit and fortitude of the wounded fills me with the great- est admiration.
