E"DGH ! SOINS ~
TOXIC, Oct. 29.-Two officers
and "a seamen aboard the Rus
sian cruiser, Jemtchug, were kill
ed, when the German cruiser EN-
den torpedoed and sank her in
Panang harbor today. A French
cruiser also was sunk. The Ger

London, Oct. 29.-The battle of
User and a series of fights which
have taken place along the whole
frant in Belgian and French terri.
tory appear, with troops now exhaust
ed, to have degenerated into numer-
Gus isolated attacks and counter at
tacks. in which gains and losses are
about equally divided On that part
of the battle front nearest the sea,
where the Germans have been trying
to reach Dunkirk and eventually Cal
ais, there has been a day Of compar-
ative calm. The Germans seem to
have transferred more serious oper-
ations further inland and are trying
to break through the Allies lines
from Lille.
Wait For Reinforcements.
However. there is nothing OF great
moment likely until reinforcements
arrive to fill gaps in the tired lines.
Reports indicate the Russians are
making marked progress, and in
South Africa the situation appears
more favorable.
Prince Louis of Battenberg, first
sea lord Of the British admiralty, has
resigned. His resignation is said to
be due to the campaign of some news
papers against him because of his
German connections.
Rise Was Slow.
Battenberg, against whom there
had been no open charges, but much
idle gossip, because Of his Austrian
origin, was received in audience by
the king on relinquishing his appoint
ment. His rise in the navy was slow
er than that Of most cadets, for he
had been in the navy % years before
he became captain and another 13
years before he became a rear ad-
miral, and finally, his great ability
and services being recognized, he was
appointed. first sea lord in 1911, a few
years after his visit to America.
Hungry People Desperate.
1T is feared that, in their desper-
alton, the hungry people will attack
the authorities. This would cause a
serious loss of life So stated Cap
tain Lucey, representative of the
American commission for relief in
Belgium, in a telegram to Herbert
Hoover, chairman of the commission.
Lucey added that representatives Of
the national relief committee say
100000 persons are being fed by
charity, and that only four days sup
ply of -four is on hand
