GERMANS LOSE 1900
MEN AND THREE SHIPS
Battle in South Atlantic Ocean Complete
Victory For British Fleet

-
fro mthe Gneisenau and the Leipzig
The statement makes reference to
some survivors rescued from the
Gneisenau and the Leipzig, but NJ
mention is made of any of the I, S53
crew Of the Scharnhorst, which was
the flag ship OF the German admiral
and 1t is presumed that Count Won
Spec, his officers and men went down
fighting.
British Losses Light.
The British casualties were light
but beyond the fact that the British
squadron was commanded by Vice Ad-
miral Sturdee, no information is
vouchsafed regarding the ships en-
gagement and newspapers are enjoined
not to speculate as "other combinations
may be effected"
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
In London over the victory and the
general impression is that it will be
com pleted as the admiralty would
not be likely to send ships that could
not overtake the Dresden and Nurn-
burg, which are twenty-four and twen-
ty-three knot vessels respectively, and
probably even slower after their long
service. They are at a disadvantage
also because Of their small coal capac-
ity.
Unknown to Public.
( The British squadron which engaged
the Germans left England without the
knowledge of the general public and
until his name was mentioned it was
believed that Vice Admiral Sturdee
was serving In home waters. The fact
that he was taken from the post OF chief
of the war taft is indicative Of the de-
terminationsof the British government
to cigar the Pacific and South Atlantic
of all German warships. It is believed,
therefore. that the British commanders
is at the head OF a formidable squad
ron.
Only Three at Large.
In addition to the Dresden and Nu-
renberg only one German warship-the
Karlsruhe-is now unaccounted for in
those waters, altho there may be one
or two armed merchantmen which the
allies have not rounded up.
AS the Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
each carried q complement, of 765
men, the Leipzig 2se. the. Nurnberg 1922
and the Dresden. 2e1, the total German
loss Is estimated at not far from 2 .ooe
men. altho the actual loses to the

NAVEL I'LL IN FoALs.

Preventive Measures the Only Safe
Way With This Dissase.
One Of the greatest dangers to the
young colt is what is known as navel
ILL.," This is an infectious disease.
Navel Ill cannot develop unless the
specific organism producing it is pres
ent. The organism producing navel III
enters the animals body through the
navel. Where mares foal on open pas
ture the colt is almost never affected
with this disease. The germ is not there
and without it the disease cannot de-
velop. Germs are apt to be found In
barns and stalls where horses and colts
have been raised for a good many
years.
A colt which is affected with this
disease becomes dull and Indifferent to
nourishment and 500 develops fever.
Lameness develops in the limbs and
oftentimes the owner of the mare as.
sumes that the mare has stepped OF
the colt. Most frequently the hook is
affected. The joints swell up. finally
burst and discharge a yellowish. thick
fluid. The colt usually continues to
get weaker and finally dies. There is
practically NJ treatment for the dis
ease that is worth while.
Practically the only successful treat.
ment is to destroy the germs in the
quarters where the colt Is to be foaled.
The stall should be thoroughly cleaned
