ANOTHER RAIDER
 HAS BoBBED UP

BOSTON. Dec. 12.-A special to tho News Bureau says that the report brought into Newport News by tho British steamer Anglo-Boliylan of Inter coping wireless messages that the cegman battle cruiser Von der Tam is in the Atlantic indicates the pos sibuity of serious trouble for all At lantic shipping. A similar report was cabled last week from Buonos Ayres.
 The von der Tam is a battle cruiser similar to tho Goeben. the warship that was 'sold" to Turkey, but some what smaller and less powerful. The Won der Tam was built in 1911. is of 1S.70O tons. carries s 11-inch and 10 5.9-mch guns. end has speed of 27.6 knots. She can easily oyertako any merchant vessel ahoat She could quickly run down and overwhelm any of the cruisers. arm0red or unarmored with which England has been guard ing the Atlantic trade routes. With her great speed and heavy guns, she would be dangerous antagonist for any British battlesbip built before tho Dreadnaoghts (19O69
 Naval officers believe that it should not be very difficult for 9 ship of such great speed to slip out of the North Sea at this time of year when there are only few hours of daylight Choosing a thick day a vessel of the speed of the Won der Tam, leaving Heligoland in the morning, by day light the next morning could be far north Of the 20O-mile gap between tho Shetland Islands and the coast Of Norway (which is 500 miles north ot Hellgoland), and would then be free to so where she chose.
 The same Buenos Ayres report that spoke Of the Won der Tam reported tho British battle cruiser Inyincible as also in the South Atlantic. The Inyincible is smaller than the Von der Tam and not so fast. Her tom mage is 19250 and her speed is 26 knots, but she has I2-inch guns against the Von der Tann's 8 11-inch. and her armor belt is z inches thick against the Won der Tann's inches Besides the Goeben and the Yon der Tam, Germany had two other battle cruisers at the outbreak of the war and two more launched that arc un- doubtedly now finished.
