The loss of the Lutzon is a fer greater blow to the Germans than the loss of the Queen Mary is to us. Coming to vessels of the second order, we lost the Indefatigable and the Invincible, against which the German loss of two battleships of the Dreadnought type can be placed. A Dreadnought battleship of the Westfalen type would be a loss com parable to either the Invincible or the Indefatigable. The armoured cruisers Black Prince, Defence and Warrior be long to the third order of ships, of which we possess a very great superiority. The Germans lost five light cruisers, and, in Mr. Churchill's opinion, the sinking of the two brand new German light cruisers, the Finden und Elbing, is a far more grievous loss to the enemy than is the loss to the British Fleet of the three armonrod cratisers mentioned. The destroyer ensualties appear to be about equal. The fight was full of thrilling episodes, many of which have already been related, but Admiral JELLICOE calls attention to another which shows again how splendid ly our sailors acquitted themselves.

AFFAIRS OF CHINESE CO APPLICATION FOR WINDING UP.

At the Supreme Court yesterday "Mr. G. C. Alabaster (instructed by Mr. C. F.. Mason) applied on behalf of Ip Kwan Hing, a shareholder, for the winding up of the San Kwok Man firm, general dealers, of 136 and 198, Queen's Road, Central. Mr. Eldon Potter (instrusted by Mr. Needham, of Messre. Ewens & Needham) opposed the application.

Mr. Alabaster said that the petitioner applied for the compulsory winding two grounds,. up of the Company on firstly, that the Company was unable to pay its debts, and that was not denied - and secondly, that it was just and equitable that the Company should be wound up by the Court. The first ground alone was sufficient reason for the winding up, and he (Mr. Alabaster) said that there were certain cireum

Iu stances in connection with the Company which should be inquired into. October 1913, the Company was theor porated, and the nominal capital was 250,000, made up of 500 fully paid up shares of $100 each. The amount of capital paid up was $36,738,190, that the Company had not even called up the full capital. The business was estab goneral providers business. According lished for the purpose of carrying on a to the balance sheet there had never been. any profits. In the first year there was a loss of $14,000, and in 1914 a loss of 835,000, and the total abilities were put
