BULLETINS

The British Admiralty announced that

Thursday. The loss Of life is said
to be about 327 officers and men. A
sister ship, the cruiser Theseus,
made it's escape.
A Berlin official report states that
ostend wal taken by the German
Army. News dispatches from
France say that the city was not
bombarded, as their occupation was
not hindered.
Alsace continues the scene Of daily
struggles for the possession OF
points Of vantage, the result Of
which II is difficult to ascertain, as
fortunes vary so rapidly. Towns are
taken and retaken repeatedly.
Thousands who fled Ostend in row
boats and other small craft arrived
at Dover and cities along the French
coast without food for thlrty-six
hours.
Continued advances Of the Allied
forces near the Franco-Belgian
frontier are reported by the French
War Office bulletins. Estaires has
been retaken from the Germans.
Gains at many points along the in
trenehed lines from Lens and Arras
10 verdun and st. Mihiel are also
claimed.
II is asserted that from six to eight
German army corps are operating
on the East Prussian frontier,
where Berlin reports that the fight
Ing continues favorable to the Ger
mans.
Berlin reports that on the battle line
In Poland an advance Of eight Rus
sian army corps was repulsed with
heavy loss.
Rome hears that fire in the arsenal
at Triest has destroyed an Austrian
d~readnought and damaged other
craft.
London conceded that the Germans
controlled channel ports In Belgium,
but II was said they would meet
strong resistance by the Allies II
an attempt was made to extend the
invaders right wing to the French
coast.
The main Belgian Army, according to
the official proclamation issued by
the Ministry, is in touch with the
allied forces, close to the northern
frontier.
The German Army Headquarters re
port stated that there is nothing
new in the situation in France. II
dealt mainly with the big battle In
Russian Poland.

Naval Expert Warns
Great Britain to Resist
Invasion Of Germans

London.-The naval correspondent
Of the London Times, in an article
in which he is foreshadowing a Ger
man invasion of England, says:
Now that the war is reaching the
climax Of its violence we must an
ticipate that all the living forces OF
Germany will be thrown into the con
fict and that the Germany navy no
longer will remain inert.
The length OF our coasts, the alb.
sence of our best troops over sea,
the want of a national army, which Is
still only in the forming; the sub
marine menace, which keeps our
grand fleet often far from the ulti.
mately decisive point; %Zeppelins,
mines and other conditions, more or
less novel, throw upon Sir John Jelli'
coe a burden of responsibility which
no one must underrate.
With an intact navy and initiative
much can be done, and it probably Is
hoped that while the German navy
engages ours the transports, escorted
by the older war ships, may slip
across and complete a landing under
the protection OF mines, submarines
and vessels sunk in the falrway.
There is ample shipping in German
ports for the embarcation of a quarter
OF a million men or more, and from
the evidence of calmness with which
the German generals sacrifice life to
attain their objects we can be sure
that a loss of $4,000 men in transit
would be considered a cheap price to
pay for throwing the remainder
ashore.
Are there troops to spare? Ger
many has three million men or her
two frontiers, but she has four million
men in her active army, reserve and
Landwehr, besides a million and three
quarters more in the Landsturm and
Ersatz reserve. She may have now
a million recruits Of the new contin'
gent at depots. There are reports
that over a million men who have es
capped service in the past have volun'
teered. Even il we deduct from these
figures half a million men for losses
In the field by wounds and Illness II
will take q great deal to convince us
that the number of troops needed for
an invasion OF England cannot be
found.

British Cruiser Hawke
Sunk by Germans

London.-The British cruiser Hawke
has been sunk in the North Sea by a
German submarine. Out of a crew
of 400 so we're saved. News Of the
disaster is officially confirmed.
The Hawke was scouting in the
North Sea at the time. She was
steaming along when she was struck
almost amidships by the torpedo and
almost torn to pieces.
The Admiralty gave this announce
ment:
His majesty's ship Theseus, Capt.
Hugh Edwards, was attacked by a
submarine in the northern waters OF
the North Sea but was missed. His
majesty's ship Hawke, Capt. NJ. =.
Williams, was attacked about the
same time and sunk.

nine men OF the crew, have been

and men are missing.
The Hawke was 1850 tons displace-
ment, $50 feet long, 60 feet beam, and
drew 20 feet of water. She was a
sister ship OF the Edgar, Endymion,
Grafton, Theseus and Gibraltar, and
was launched in 1891.
Her armament consisted Of two 81
inch guns, ten 6-inch guns, twelve six
pounds, FIVE three-pounders, two ma
chine guns and two torpedo tubes. Her
complement was 544 men.
The Hawke was commanded by
Capt. p. +. T. Williams. Among her
officers we're Commander Bernard A.
Pratt-Barlow and Lieut. Commander
Robert r. Rosoman.
The Hawke collided with the liner
Olympic September 20, 1911, near os'
borne bay, on the north side of the
Isle of Wight. She sustained serious
damage.
The loss OF the Hawke makes a to
tai OF six British cruisers destroyed
by Germany in the North Sea since
the beginning Of the war.

BOTH BATTLE LINES REACH SEA
NO POSSIBILITY OF OUTFLANKING
TORPEDO SIXTH BRITISH CRUISER
BATTLE FRONT HAS
CHANGED ENTIRELY

LONDON.-lt seems as II the
struggle has reached such a
complicated stage that even the
most highly organized general
staff is incapable Of exercising
general control over the move
ments Of any particular group
Of the armies, and in various
quarters Of the field the gener.
ais are acting more or less in
dependently.
The principal fact Is that both
armies have executed a most
complete change Of front since
the battle Of the Marine. They
are now holding vastly more eH'
tended lines, running almost
north and south. The Allies
line stretches from Client, o. its
environs, to Scissors. For the
past ten days the Germans have
concentrated their main efforts
on breaking through the centre
Of the Allied line.
Their object has been TO
reach Amiens and thus control
the railroads running north.
AS a whole, the situation OF
the Allies daily becomes more
favorable. Everywhere they
have held their own, and In
several places have gained a
town.

GERMAN SUBMARINES
TO CHANNEL BY RAll2

loNDoN.-There is a wide.
spread circulated rumor In Lon
don that the Germans expect to
transport by rail to places on
the Belgian and French coasts
a number Of submarines, with
which to attack the British fleet.
The entire feasibility Of trans
porting submarines overland is
the contention Of a well-known
American engineer here who has
had much to do with the study
of submarines and the handling
Of submarine mines. He said:
at would be possible to trans
port submarines by rail from
Germany to the Belgian or
French coasts once the railroad
lines were secured, but after
reaching the coast then would
come the problem Of escaping
the British war vessels or mine
fields"
The rumors are that the Ger
mans may try to send the sub
marines from ear the mouth Of
the Scheldt.
