Good Hope, Fired by
German Shells, Sank

British Admiralty Admits Her Loss
Monmouth Reported Beached-
Glasgow in Two Fights.

London.-It is Politically announced
by the Admiralty that the British
cruiser Good Hope, the flagship OF
Rear-Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock.
took fire during the engagement with
the Germans off the coast Of Chill and
foundered.
The statement says:
The Admiralty has received trust
worthy information about the action
on the Chilian coast.
During Sunday, the 1st of Novem-
ber, the Good Hope, Monmouth and
Glasgow came up with the Scharn-
horst, Gneisenau, Leipzig and Dres-
den. Both squadrons were steaming
south in a strong wind and a consiL-
cradle sea.

"The German squadron declined ac-

it an important advantage. The action
lasted an hour.
Early in the action both the Good
Hope and the Monmouth took fire, but

Gus explosion occurred on the Good
Hope and she foundered.

Neither the Otranto nor the Can

Reports received by the Foreign
Office from Valparaiso state that

Chilian coast, and it is possible this
may prove to be the Monmouth.
Energetic measures are being taken
on this assumption to rescue the sur

in Fierce Struggle
Cars Troops Seize Towns in Foes
Territory, Petrograd Reports
Persia and Greece May
Enter Conflict.

London.-Turkey is definitely at
war with the Allied Powers and, with
Germany, is forcing Persia into hos
tilities.
All diplomatic intercourse is sus.
lcnded. A battle Is raging between
the Russians and the Turks on the
frontier of Transcaucasia, each side
claiming the advantage. The Anglo
French feet Is shelling the forts Of
the Dardanelles and has damaged OF
destroyed the Helles fort, one of the
principal defences.
The British Cabinet after q confer
ence decided to announce that a state
of war exists between Great Britain
and Turkey. The field of hostilities
Is extending so rapidly that Greece.
Rumania, Bulgaria and possibly Italy
may intervene. A. despatch from
Sofia says that Servia has been
broken. All information points to
the extension of the war to the near
East and the Orient.

Turks Threaten
Tripoli; May Force
Italy Into War
Raids by 5edouins and Arabs Con-
tinue Despite Porte's Promise to
Germany That italian Interests
Would Not Be Threatened.


Rome.-Italy is sending garrison
troops to Tripoli to defend her settle
ments and loyal tribesmen against
Arab rebels and Bedouins who have
raided supply columns in the interior
and have attacked an encampment of
submissive tribesmen at Derna.
Turkey, it seems, has disregarded
the promise made to Italy by Germany
that the Porte would not threaten
Italian colonies and that Turkey had
no designs on Tripoli. Events are
tending more and more to force Italy
into the war on the side of the Allies.
The newest, most momentous crisis
has developed in Cyrenaica, due to
the agressions OF Bedouins stirred by
the preachments OF Turkish and Ger
man agents.
News received here indicates Tur-
keys intention to drive the Italians
out of Tripoli and to regain the prov
inces lost in the war between Italy
and Turkey. For a week Bedouins in
the interior have waylaid small de-
tachments of troops and have fired
upon and wounded Italian soldiers.
1t seems probable that Italy will de-
mand an explanation from Turkey,
and possibly from Germany. since Ger
many has assumed to guarantee the
safety of Tripoli.

THREE COUNTIES ouARAN1iNED.
State Cattle Ban On AIIegany, Freder-
ick and Washington.

apolis.-Acting upon the request
Board, Governor Goldsborough, issued
a proclamation quarantining Allegany.
Washington and Frederick counties to
prevent the spread of the hoOf and
mouth disease to parts of the State at
present unaffected Under the terms
of the quarantine, no cattle may be
taken out of or brought into the coun-
ties.
The entire State is now under Fed
eral quarantine, but the State author
tiles believe by the divisional quar-
antine the disease can be prevented
from spreading to those sections Of
the State now unaffected. DR.. L. Hick-
man, State veterinarian, returned from
Allegany, Frederick and Washington
counties, after making an exhaustive
study of the disease there. 1t was DR..
Hickman's report to the Live Stock
Board that prompted the request to
Governor Goldsborough.
The cattle affected by the disease
are being slaughtered as quickly as
they are found.
This step was considered necessary
in order to stamp out the disease at
its beginning. It's germs are spread
easily, even by persons who walk from
one pasture to another. At this time
of year car loads of cattle are brought
from the West to farms in Western
Maryland to be fattened during the
winter for slaughter later, and one in
fected animal can spread the disease
through an entire community.
A temporary embargo has been
placed on Maryland hay by the Fed
eral authorities. In this hay embargo
were included also the States OF In.
diana, New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Hay from these States will not
be allowed to be shipped unless 1t Ia
thoroughly disinfected.

LULL IN FIGHTING
AS GERMANS SEND
FORWARD BIG FORCE
LAST ATTACK AT DiXMUDE AND
YPRES MADE WITH TWELVE
ARMY CORPS, BUT NEXT WILL
BE MADE WITH EVEN MORE
CITIZENS FLEE IN TERROR As
RUSSIANS SWEEP INTO POSEN

London.-Russia dominates the mill
tary situation. The speed with which
she has cleared the invaders from
Russian Poland was totally unexpect-
ed and must necessarily have great
effect on the campaign in the other
war theatre.
Already the terror-stricken inhabi-
tants are reported fleeing from their
prosperous Silesian homes despite the
fact that General Won Hindenburg's
strong army is between them and the
advancing Russians. But something
arms may enable them TO remain for
some time in security, for significant
message from Petrograd announces
that Russia may defer the invasion
OF Germany until her historic mission
toward the Bosporus is accomplished.
This mission includes the complete
subsection of Austria-Hungary as well
as the invasion Of Turkey and, if this
is the actual plan of the Grand Duke
Nicholas, the famous Russian COM
III Culcl. lllG IAuSSldhS may
be content to hold their present po-
sitions along the German border while
making an aggressive war toward the
south and east.
The mll in the fighting in the en-
virons Of Dixmude and Ypres. in the
best opinion is only the prelude of a
further effort to which all the forces
that the Germans can raise will be
concentrated The last attack, made
with twelve army corps, failed. The
next. it is expected, will be made by
even more.
All adviees from the front indicate
this clearly. The reports that the
Germans are gathering an important
army at lngelmunster the affirma-
ton that the battle against France
must be decided at an early date, the
orders given to the German generals
10 break through before the end of
the month and the various movements
of troops observed by aviators in
Belgium, all tend to show the purpose
OF the Germans.
All of the military writers here
agree that the effort will be Of the
first importance to the Germans.

AusTRo-eERMANs ON DEFENSIVE

London.-Tne German and Austrian
armies are now on the defensive both
in the east and the west. They have
fallen back to and over their own
frontiers in East Prussia, and in Po-
land have crossed the border. For
the first time the Russian are in the
Province of Posen, one OF the rich
est districts in Germany.
The Russians are following up
their advantage in Galicia. where
they have cut the retreating Aus
trians off from Cracow.
Owing to the general Russian out
fianking movement on both right and
left of the main German line from
Sieradz to Czenstochowa (Russian
Poland), the last German position in
Russian territory is fast becoming
untenable.
On the north the Russians have
taken Kolo and the Germans have
retreated ten miles to Hursk.
The German right is outfanked
by the Russians in possession of
Andrejew and their advance Is nearly
ten miles west of that base. This
appears to afford foundation for the
report of an exodus of German troops
from Czenstochowa.
Communication between the Ger
man East Prussian army and Poland
army has been severed. The Rus
SLAMS. taking advantage Of this, have
thrown troops between the River
Warthe aud the lower Vistula and
are concentrating, especially around
Vlotzlewsk.
German adyices received in Rome
say Emperor William, much affected
by the Russian victories, has held a
council of war which was attended
by General Won Hindenburg, the Duke
of Wurttemburg and the Austrian
chief of staff. Field Marshal Baron
Conrad Won Hoetzendorf, to decide on
a further plan of campaign.
1t is asserted in Berlin that Ger
many and Austria-Hungary now have
about 100000 soldiers concentrated
on the line from Thorn to Cracow,
considered sufficient to crush the
Russian forces.
German military authorities declare
the result of the coming battle is
not in doubt. and that the Russian
army will be destroyed. They ex-
plain it is necessary to allow the
Russians to advance to the frontier
in order to prevent them from max
ing a good retreat after their defeat.
The present retirement of the Ger
mans is necessary. they say in order
to have the railways Immediately be-
hind the army for the approaching
main battle.
The presence of the Russians in
East Prussia and Posen, although the
latter are only cavalry. it is believed
here, will prevent the Germans send
ing any more troops to the West.
II il does not compel them to with
draw some Of their troops from that
front.
