The value OF regular feeding has

LAS PALMAS, Canary Islands,
Aug. 29.-Forty minutes was the
duration of the battle between the
British Highfyer and the German
auxiliary cruiser Kaiser Wilhelm
Der Crosse that resulted in the
sinking of the latter vessel.
Lieut.. Deane, who was a priS-
'oner aboard the German ship. was
Handed here today. He confirmed
the report that the German boat
was the former North German
Lloyd liner and gave the follow
ling details of the battle:
"The Kaiser sighted the High
flyer at 1870 p. m. Wednesday.
All prisoners were ordered below,
but an hour later they were or
.dered to board the collier Aracu-
'caS. which was coaling the Ger
man. Before the English ship
opened fire her captain gave the
KaiSer'S captain an hour to clear
the liner.
"Only officers, gunnerS and en-
.gineerS were kept aboard. The
rest of the crew rushed aboard the
collier. The German captain is
said to have handed his aid his
sword and a farewell letter for
his wife. declaring he would blow
.up his ship before Surrendering.
"The cruiser opened fire from
la distance of four miles and the
.cannOnade lasted 40 minutes. All

was hit three times and caught

PARIS. Aug. 29.-Like a titanic
wise the German armies are squeezing
the allied forces and the French right
and left wings which are steadily be
ing forced back toward Paris. It was
admitted today that the left wing had
withdrawn from the Belgian frontier
to the Somme river in the department
of the Somme, of which Amiens is the
capital. Amiens is only 20 miles from
Paris.
This indicates that the invading
forces, following the great battle Of
the Meuse, has swept forward with a
great bound.
The French right wing is engaged
with the Germans in an artillery duel
along the river Meurthe near Ramb ber-
villers in the department Of the NOs-
geS. For two days the conflict has
been raging there and many Of the
French gunners have dropped eX-
hausted by the side OF their cannon.
Though the war office states that
the attacks Of the Germans along the
northern lines has Stacked. it is ad
mitted that this is only the calm be-
fore the decisive conflict that will be
brought on by the direct smash of the
Germans upon the lines that stretch
from the Somme to the Meurthe.
1t is evidently the German aim to
strike Paris from the north after
wearing away the allies left wing and
throwing the center into confusion. It
is in this direction that the Germans
are making their great efforts, and al
though fighting continues in the east
the real battle will take place in the
valley Of the Somme.
