Mines WITH MINES
New Policy on Big Scale
in North Sea Announced
by Great Britain.
CALLED IMPORTANT
STEP OF THE DAY
Country Said to Have Been
Forced by Foes Tactics to
Change Its Policy.

London. oct. 1.-The official inior-
nation bureau, announcing to-day that
the government had decided to lay
mines in certain areas as a counter
stroke TO the German procedure, 49,
sued the following statement on be-
half Of the Admiralty:
"Thc German policy Of mine laying
combined with their submarine activ-
ity. makes it necessary on military
grounds for the Admiralty to adopt
counter measures.
Ills majcsty'8 government has
therefore authorized nine laying pol.

mine fields has been established ara
+. being developed upon a considerable
scale.
"Tn order to reduce the risks 10 non

that Il is dangerous hcnccfor"ard Tor

tudc 5I1j north and 5l.1O north ana

This connection It must be remem-
bcrcd that the southern limits OF the
German mine field rs latitude 81 north.
Although these limits are assigned 10
the danger area, il must not be sup
posCd that navigation is safe IN any
part of the southern waters OF the
North Sea. H..
Constructions have been issued to his
maiestv'S ships to warn east-golng yes

The decision to lay mines in GER
tain areas of The North Sea IS re-
earded as the most important develop
ment Of the day. The Daily Chroni-
"No one can blame Great Britain

Us by the enemy against our will, and

Gently took place at Filipov, a small
town near the Russo-German frontier.
The Russian troops were retreating,
and the Germans, advancing, occupied
positions previously held by the Rus
SLAMS. The rapid approach Of the
enemy made it impossible for the Rus
SLAMS to take away their wounded, and
they were obliged to leave them on the
field OF battle. On instructions of their
commander, a few German soldiers

and struck the ground, crying out
loudly, so that the approaching German
soldiers should hear him:

When night set in and complete dark

heavy toll of killed and wounded. the
German Pole came and made close

Pole whose life he had spared, thanks
to the racial bond existing between the
two foes.

TENNIS EXPERTS MAY

Williams and Mclaughlin Likely to
Be Bracketed as No. in Rating
for First Time in History.

Richard Norris Williams. I'd. ana
Maurice E. Mclaughlin are the pair
named for the American challenging team
for the Davis Cup next year. All of the
officials Of the National Association are
unanimous in declaring that as Williams
had arrived" there was no question as
to the Philadelphia and the Californian
being a pair OF world heaters.
There was some official argument as
to hoS Williams and Mclaughlin may
be rated this season. II was suggested
because Of the Californian's wonderful
performance in the Davis Cup matches
in beating Brookes and Wilding that the
two young Americans who have defeated
the greatest in the world be bracketed
as No. l. Such a thing has never been
done before in this country or in Eng
land.
The American champion has always
stood alone as No. l. McLoughIin's great
playing and his sterling ability is likely
to result in this innovation for II found
favor with all of the committee Nc
Loughlin will return to California at the
end OF the week.
