Sink German Warships.

p London, Dec. 10.-A British squad
ron under command of Vice-Admiral
Sir Frederick Sturdee, chief of the
war staff, engaged a German squad
ron under Admiral Count Won Spec off
the Falkland islands, in the South At
lantic, and won a victory which is be-
ing acclaimed through England
The armored cruisers Scharnhorst
and Gneisenau and the protected cruz
ser Leipzig, three of the German war
ships which had been menacing Brit
ish shipping, and part of the squadron
which sank the British cruisers Good
Hope and Monmouth in the Pacific on
November l, were destroyed.
The cruisers Dresden and Nuern-
berg, the two other vessels which com
posed the German squadron, made off
during the fight.
The announcement of this engage
ment and victory, which was the most
important naval engagement of the
war, with the exception of that off
Helgoland last August, was made in a
statement by the admiralty of less
tnan one hundred words.
Admiralty Reports Victory.
The statement follows:
AT 1880 a. m, on the 8th of De-
cember, the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau
Nuremberg, Leipzig and Dresden were
sighted near the Falkland islands by a
British squadron under Vice-Admiral
Sir Frederick Sturdee.
can action followed, in the course
of which the Scharnhorst, flying the
flag of Admiral Count Won Spec, the
Gneisenau and the Leipzig were sunk.
The Dresden and Nuremberg made off
during the action and are being pur-
sued.
THE vice-admiral reports that the
British casualties are very few in
number.
Some survivors have been rescued
from the Gneisenau and the Leipzig"
Admiral Believed Lost.
The statement makes reference to
some survivors rescued from the Gnei-
senau and the Leipzig, but no mention
is made of any of the crew Of the
Scharnhorst, which was the flagship
of the German admiral, being saved,
and it is thus presumed that Count
Won Spec, his officers and men went
down fighting.
The British casualties were light,
but beyond the fact that the British
squadron was commanded by Vice-Ad-
miral Sturdee no information is vouch-
safed regarding the ships engaged and
the newspapers are enjoined not to
speculate, as "other combinations may
be Effected

Define the Ideal Husband.

Happiness In married life depends
first of all on the ability of the hus-
band to maintain as ardent a wooing
after marriage as during courtship.
This is the opinion Of 100 Detroit
wives. expressed in letters to Rev.
Howard A. Field, pastor Of the Simp-
son NJ E. church. The letters were
requested by Mr. Field and the pas
tor based a sermon, "The Ideal Hus-
band" on them. All agreed that the
ideal husband must be an ideal lover.
Other necessary qualities of an ideal
husband in the order Of their impor-
lance were fixed as follows:
He must be lover Of home.
He must be industrious even to the
extent of being willing to roll up his
shirtsleeves and help tidy the house.
He must be morally pure-there can
be no double standard Of purity.
He must treat his wife as his equal
not as a servant
He must be emperate.-Detroit

Copenhagen, Dec. 10.-Most alarm
ing rumors have been current as to
the kaiser's condition, but are not gen.
orally believed in official circles.
From diplomatic source it is
learned that his condition is serious,
but not yet dangerous. 1t seems he
cannot be kept quiet and take full
rest The empress has the greatest
difficulty in prevailing upon him to
stay IN bed. He has a very bad at
tack Of influenza.
This morning his majesty's tempera-
ture was about 103, and was higher
yesterday. If he is unwilling TO take
absolute rest till he is recovered there
may be real danger. He is weak and
his spirits are greatly depressed.

ATTILA, KING OF THE HUNS
MISUNDERSTANDING Who RaVaged .
Great Part of Europe in the
Fifth Century.


Like the Huns under Attila" is
phrase which is on everybodys lips
at the present time. Yet comparative
ly few people know by whom it was
first used, or understand the refer
ence.
1t was with these words that the
kaiser bid farewell to his troops when
they were dispatched to China TO help
to put down the Boxer rising. Gain
a reputation like the Huns under At
tia, he told them, says London Tit
Bits. The significance OF the advice
will be appreciated when it is realized
that Attila was a barbaric chief whose
rayages IN Europe about the begin
ming of the fifth century gained for,
him the name of the Scourge of Cod
The leader of countless hordes OF
Huns, who were Mongol race which
crossed the Volga and struck terror
into Europe, he was regarded by his
men with superstitious reverence and
by Christendom with superstitious
dread. Among the acts which were
committed by his direction were the
following:
Bleda, his brother and co-chieftain,
put to death.
All the countries between the Black
sea and the Mediterranean devastated
and pillaged.
Thrace, Macedon and Greece over
run and 20 flourishing cities deyas-
tated.
Several cities in Italy RACED to the
ground and their inhabitants put to
the sword.
Conquered peoples either killed or
forced to follow in his train rs prison.
ers.
Yet for all this ruthlessness AttiIa
was magnificent soldier and strik-
ing personality. He was induced to
spare Rome from destruction by the
personal mediation of Pope Leo /, who.
is said to have subdued his ferocity
into awe by the apostolic majesty of
his mien. This deliverance was regard
ed as a miracle by the affrighted Ro-
mans, and old chroniclers relate that
the Apostles Peter and Paul appeared
in Attila's camp and changed his pur-
pose.
Attila died on the night of his mar
rage with the beautiful Hilda-pos-
sibly by her hand. His death spread
CONSERVATION through the host of
Huns, who cut themselves with knives,
shaved their heads and then prepared
to celebrate the funeral rites of their
king. His body was placed in three
coffins-the first of gold, the second of
silver and the third of iron. The ca
parsons of his horses with his arms
and ornaments were buried with him,
while the captives employed to make
his grave were all put to death so that
none might betray the last resting
place of Attila, king of the Huns
