 IO BRITAIN
ENGLAND IS SHOCKED AT THE AUDACloUS ACCOMPLISHMENT OF GERMAN SUBMARINES IN SINKING THREE CRUISERS WILL STILL PATROL THE NORTH SEA, HOWEVER.

London, Sept. 22.-The daring raid of German submarines across the North sea which resulted today in the sinking of the British cruisers Abou- kir, Hogue and Greasy has diverted attention momeltariiy from the bat tleiields of the continents.
 This was one of the things the Brit ish navy had been led to expect, for the Germans frankly had avowed that their plan was to reduce British naval superiority by submarine raids and the sowing of mines, and they have been training their young officers for sallies of this kind
 Nevertheless, it came as a surprise to Englishmen such big ships could so easily be attacked and destroyed while the German fleet has remained in safety in it's mine sand fortress protected harbors.
 However, the British fleet must keep the seas to insure Great Brit. aims food supply, and in doing so must run great risk. The ships sunk, whiie obsolete, still were useful yes sels, and it is little satisfaction to England to know her cruiser fleet still is double in number that of the Germans, and that as Winston Spen- cer Churchill, first lord of the admir- atty, has said she will be able to build during the war three to Ger maly's one.
 Meantime there have been no i'm portant changes on the battle fronts in northern France. The opposing armies continue to gain a little here and lose a little there. These gains may tell in the long run but have brought no decisive result for either side.
 The French official report issued late today again lays some stress on being made by the allies left wing on the right bank of the River Disc, from which point both the public and the military experts look for first i1- dcations of how the battle is likely to end.
 Although official reports do not go beyond saying that the Germans have been forced to give ground before the French attacks and speak of Noyo1 and the district around that city as the center of operations. some cores pondents describe the allies left as extending from just west of Noyol to as far north as Lecatelet, from which point, or Peronne, the new army of which there have been so many re- ports but no confirmation is supposed to be operating to threaten the Ger man right wing.
 If this is true the German right IS in a dangerous position, for it can not extend much further north or west of St Quentin. Its position runs thence by way of Chauny and south of LaOn to north of Rheims.
 On the plateau of Crayolne severe fighting has been going on for days, but there is no late information as to whether the Germans or the allies hold the commanding positions here The allies had the plateau few days ago but the German official report claims it has been retaken, together with the village of Betheny.
 In the center between Rheims and Souain, which the French occupied early in the week, there has been more desperate fighting. the Ger mans taking the offensive and, ac- cording to the French reports, being repulsed. The Germans also have made some attacks in the Woevre district without success, but they again have crossed the Lorraine frol- tier and have occupied Doaestre, south of Blamont.
 The French have captured addi- tional prisoners and supply train.
 The Russians have followed up their success in Galicia. where third great battle is about to begin, if it al. ready has not started, by capturing the important fortress of Jaroslau on the River San, north of Przemysl. which they are surrounding.
 Jaroslau commands the passage Of the San river and it's possession will assist the Russians in their opera tions against Przemysl, where a
