BRITISH WARSHIP FLIES
BEFORE MOVIE MEN

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Extra!
British warship routed tn battfe of
Sandy Hook!
1t was a bloodless fight, but a
British cruiser, name not definitely
known. turned tail and fed before a
little putting tug and battery of six
inch rapid-hre cameras which sent a
broadside at the lighting ship.
The story was told here today by
moving picture photographers who
hired a tug and went In search or the
mysterious war craft yesterday. They
found her after considerable search,
20 miles southeast Of Ambrose chan
mel lightship. She was cleared for
action and steaming lazify along on
her patrol when the camera tug
slipped up and opened fire. Sailors
on deck shouted a greeting at the
camera men, but when officers saw
the battery firing away they ordered
steam up and with smoke pouring
from her tunnels, the warship put OF.
The picture men alleged that sail
ors shouted over the water that their
ship was the Essex. Her nameplate
was covered, however.

vessel will not stop at English ports,
as originally Intended.
Considerable mystery today sur
rounds the abandonment of the plan
TO send relief expedition. headed by
DR.. John II. Finley, into Germany.
Some members OF the American COM
mittee limited that Ambassador Page
called on the expedition for diplo-
matte reasons. DR.. Finley said II was
abandoned because the ambassador
believed II would be futile. Page,
himself. declared there had been no
definite plan for the rescue of Amer
leans in Germany and that the scheme
OF sending DR.. Finley and party into
the country had merely been dis
cussed.
