BRITISH WARSHlPS AND CREWS LOST
 SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR

column of flame and smoke leap high in the air, followed on the instant by a frightful roar. From what is known, is seems that the battIeship disap- peared in three minutes. Heavy smoke hung low over the river, and watchers on shore caught glimpses Of boats hastenfng to the rescue of the scores that had been flung into the water That these efforts were practically un- availfng is shown by the official state ment of only 12 men saved.
 The news reached London quickly and absolutely shocked the people in the streets. At first it was hoped that the rumor was merely one of the wild canards which are spread by the ex- eitable, but it. was very soon an nounced that the Admiralty had con drmed the reports The First Lord made the announcement to the House in the following statement:
 ssThe loss of the ship does not sensi- bly, affect our military position, but I regret the loss of life, which was very heavy. Only twelve men were saved. All the officers and the rest of the crew, which, suppose, amounted to between 700 and 800 men, perished.''

CONGRESSMAN SHIRLEY. 43 TOMORROW, SAYS U. $.
 COULD REPEL INVADERS

After the many and lurfd predic- tions as to what would happen to poor. defenseless old. Uncle Sam in case of invasion by an armed foe, it is refreshing and reassuring to be told that Uncle sam isn't quite SO weak and unprepared as the alarm Sists allege. Possibly the a1arnists are right, but most citizens of the United States will lend a willing ear to the hope inspiring statements of Con gressnnan Swager Sher1ey, of Ken lucky, who speaks with all the au- thority of chairman of the House committee on Qualifications. Col Sherley is Isouisville's representative in the House, and is a native of the Kentucky metropolis. He will pass his forty-third milestone tomorrow having been born on Nov. 28, 1871 He was chfistened Swager after his mothers maiden name. Alter grad uating from the Louisville Male High School in 1889 he took the B. L. de gree at theSUniversity of Virginia, and was admitted to the bar in 1S91 He was barely past thirty when he was first elected to Congress in 1 902, and he has been returned with greatsreg- u1arity ever since.

ENGLISH TEACHERS
 IN BIG CONVENTION

Chicago. Nov. z7.-President Wn- sons principle of reading speeches was adhered to in a, paper, read at the fourth annual meeting of the National Council Of Teachers of English and in another paper his injunction to preserve strict neutrality with refer ence to the European war was scru- pulousIy observed in touching on the true meaning Of 'scuIture'' in the light of modeFn developments. The latter incident was observed in a paper on tour speech by Katherine Jewell Elverts. of Pomfret, Conn, who said;
 'tThe word Culture IS up for eZ- animation, dissection and rehab2ltta- tion. The culture of a great nation Is under arrangement Education is about to be called upon to subServe a quality of culture involving a new. ideal of human relationship. Domt- nation or possession will no longer constitute success.
 Prof Franklin T. Baker, of CoIuzn- bies read his annual address as presi- dent of the Natioual Council
 Among other speakers was F. s. Tnden, of Depauw JndverEitys who stated that the world is beginning to believe. rightly or wrongly. that are is only a means to an end and not an end in itself
 Ross F, Lockbridge, of Indiana- ad- vocated free and frank discussions of civil problems among students rather than the old fashioned two-sided de- bate where the ambition is to best rival rather than to elucidate the suE- ject.
 Frederick J. Pohl. of wesleyan Uua- versity, discussing the literature for the sophomore, remarked that it is more important by far that the Stu dent should read literature and form an opinion on it; that he should form an opinion on it's values.

FRESHMAN SAVED COMRADES Returning From Stolen Leave. He
 Spoiled Prussian Surprise.

London, Nov. 27-A new story of a British encounter with the Prussian Guard was told by a Corporal of the Warwickshfre Reginsent who is now at home wounded.
 '"The night the Prussian Guard at tackled us around Ypres,'' he said, cit was only by the merest chance and a fine piece of heToism that we were warned in time. There was an Irish man of the Kings Liverpool Regiment who had strayed out of bounds to meet a girl whose home was off the line of attack. Coming back late, he stumbled on the Germans stealing quietly toward our position without thought of consequences to himself, but only concerned for the safety of his comrades, he dashed toward the spot where he knew our guard to be to give the alarm. The Germans spot ted him, and a ca1avry patrol was at his heels instantly. He had a good start, but toward the end he was hit in both- legs. ttHe got through with the warning and is now in the base hospital, pull ing through. He doesn't know wheth- CT hee will get medal or a wigging for being out of bounds, but he's hop ing for the best. g
