War SITUATION
SYNOPSIS OF CONDITIONS PRE-.
PARED BY THE ASSOCIAT-
ED PRESS.

New York, Oct. Especial:
While the armies of the allies and
the German invaders are approaching
in mighty lines stretching from the
Belgian coast southwark for a great
battle, the ships of war in the North
sea again are showing activity. The
British have revenged the sinking of
the cruiser Hawke by a German sub
marine, with the swift descent upon
four German torpedo boat d~estroyers,
which they sen to the bottom. Capt.
Cecil II. Fox, who was commander Of
the cruiser Amphion-destroyed by a
German mine on October 6-was in
command of the light cruiser I'm
daunted and the four British torpedo
boat destroyers Lance, Lennox, Lee
gion and Loyal, which engaged the
Germans off the Dutch coast. The
battle must have been fast, for the
British had only one officer and four
men wounded, while the official re-
port issued by the admiralty says
t~hirty-one survivors of the German
destroyers are prisoners of war. This
would mean that nearly 400 Germans
went down with their ships.
In the land fighting the British
troops have captured Fromelles, an
important position to the southwest
of Lille on the French left, while the
French commander has been receiv-
ing aid from the French fleet on the
important stragetic positions between
Ypres and the sea. The French sail
ors are said to have acquitted them
selves well, repulsing a German at
tack and capturing detachments OF
cavalry and infantry.
Winston Spencer Churchill, first
lord of the British admiralty, declares
that the sending of British naval
brigades to Antwerp was part of a
large operation for the relief of the
city and that their withdrawal was
not on account of any attack or pres
sure by the Germans, but in "obedi-
ence TO the general stragetical situa-
ton"
That the Germans are trying to
move down the North sea coast to
Dunkirk and Calais is certain. but
just how far TO the south of Ostend
they have proceeded is not actually
known. Reports that there has been
fighting in the neighhorhood of Dun
kirk are not generally credited.

dam, which left New York, October 6,
and was reported to have reached

is believed to be proceeding to Rot

information said that seven persons
aboard the Noordam were injured.

u. S. TO HAVE BEST
SUBMARINE FLEET
Edison Also Says Wealth Has Caused
This Country to Neglect Oppor-
tunities Now Being Used.

Cleveland. Oct 29-''The United States
is planning to have the best feet of sub
marines in the world" said Thomas A.
Edison. in discussing his work on a new
submarine storage battery for the gov
ernment. Incidentally the inventor is set
ting an example in the Made in Amer
lea" movement. He said:
II am making carbolic acid in my
laboratory now. We ought to make all
the basic dyestufIs for lack Of which the
dye industry in the United States Is
threatened with ruin.
The trouble with US has been that We
were too wealthy. That is why we have
not been SO ready 70 grasp our OppOrtuni-
ties. But We are beginning to realize our
mistake, and We are now using the raw
material formerly wasted by working it
into commodities hitherto bought in Ger
many.
Universal peace and final suppression
Of militarism will result from the present
titanic struggle. A big. broad democracy
is coming, aid instead OF Europe being
bossed by a kaiser, a car or a king, it
will be ruled by the people,

their home from Detroit, where they have

NEW STAFF MAKES GOOD.
Balance Sheet shows PaInstakinE
Work by Those in Charge.

The Balance Sheet, the school publica-
ton OF Business High for October. has
just made its bow before the public as
the first specimen of the work done by
the new staff of the paper. The finished
appearance and careful makeup" of the
new Balance Sheet indicate that the pub
lication is in unusually good hands this
year.
The cover design, dOne-in poster style
on rough brown paper. and the drawings
throughout show that the art department
Is capably managed. The literary con-
tributions are much better than the usual
school paper style of work. Short stories
and serious articles alike reflect credit on
the writers and the editors. The 'humor
department" which is so necessary to the
life Of such a paper, Is cleverly handled,
and all OF the less important departments
are up to the general standard of ex-
cellence. The advertising pages of the
paper show that the business department
is in good hands.
William c. La Clair, editor-in-chief OF
the Balance Sheet, was for several
months connected with the stan OF The
Washington Herald.
