PACIFIC OCEAN IS
CLEAR Of ENEMY.
ADMIRALTY SAYS
Squadron Off Chile. However.
Excepted - BottIing Of
Koenigsberg Described.
BY the United Press.

LONDON, Nov. 10.-In a stateaaee<
from the admiralty today it was ue.
ciared that as result of the destruc-
ton of the German cruiser Emden
the Pacific and Indian oceans ARE
now clear of the enemy's war ships,
with the exception of tho squadron
eff the coast of Chile"
Following the destruction of the
Emden, the admiralty statement de
clared:
Yesterday morning news was re
ceived that the Emden, which had
been completely lost since the action
with the Zhemtchug, had arrived at
Keeling, Cocos islands, and landed
an armed party to destroy the wire
less station and cut the cable. The
Emden was caught aud forced to
fight by the Australian warship
Sydney.
"A sharp action followed, in which
the sydney lost three men killed and
fifteen wounded. The Emden was
driven ashore and burned. Her losses
are reported to be very heavy.
with the exception of the Ger
man squadron now off Chile, the
whole Of the Pacific and Indian
oceans are now clear of the enemy's
warships.'
The admiralty sent the following
message to the commander of the
ss dney:
brilliant entry of the Australian
navy into the war and the signal
service rendered to the allied cause
and peaceful commerce by the de-
struction of the Emden."
OF the Koenig berg's bottling up,
the admiralty statement said:
ION the thirtieth of October the
Koenigsberg was discovered by the
Chatham hiding in shoal water six
miles up the Rufigi river, opposite
Malta Island, German East Africa.
Owing to her greater draught the
Chatham was unable to reach the
Koenigsberg, which is probably
aground. Part of the crew of the
Koenigsberg had landed and en-
trenched on the banks of the river.
Both the entertainments and the
Koenigsberg were bombarded by the
Chatham, but owing to the dense
palm groves amid which the ship
lies it is impossible to estimate the
damage that was done. Pending
further operations for the capture or
destruction of the Koenigsberg ef-
fectiye steps have been taken to
block the vessel in by sinking col
liers in the channel of the river. She
is now imprisoned and unable to do
further harm"

HAVRE, Oct. u correspondence OF
the Associated Press).-Havre, the
war capital of Belgium, looks little
different from the Havre of other
DAYS. The reason is the Belgians have
taken over a summer resort suburb
known as Nice-Havrais and turned
its hotels, club-houses and casinos
into government offices. not neglect

The main offices of the Belgian gov
eminent are divided between the
hotelIerie, a large tea and clubhouse
on a point overlooking the sea at the
further end of Nice HavraiS and the
department store over on the Havre
side. The higher government officials
have taken houses nearby, while the

PLEADS
FOR MORE SOLDIERS
81 Shall Want More Men Until
Enemy Is Crushed" He De-
clares at Banquet.

LONDON, Nov. 10.--A new wave of
patriotic enthusiasm swept England
today. Once more Lord Kitchener,
secretary of war, has impressed upon
Britons that the United Kingdom Is
fighting for it's existence. While pay
ing high tribute to the army In the
field, he made 1t plain that the strug-
gle on the continent is only begin
ming. and his plea was for men, and
more men.
"They are training in this country
more than 100000 men, eagerly
awaiting for a call to bear their part
in the great struggle" the war sec
rotary declared in a speech at the lord
mayors banquet last night. But he
added:
IT shall want more men, and stin
more, until the enemy is crushed"
The elation which was evident as
a result of the great Russian vic
tories and the driving of the Germans
back on their own soil in the sast-
was tempered today with the renewed
realization of the grim struggle
ahead. At the same time came news
OF the death of the first member OF
Parliament to fall in battle. He was
the Hon. Arthur E. B. O'Neil, captain
of the Second Life Guards and a
member of Parliament for Mid
Antrim.
With Lord Kitchener and other
army officers appearing at the BAN
quet in khaki service uniforms. the
lord mayors banquet was strictly an
affair OF a nation at war. Winston
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty,
pointed out in his speech that only
eighty miles away men were fighting
and giving up their lives in the
trenches. The navy made it possible
for such an occasion in London. and
this arm of the service is now
stronger than on the day war was
declared. despite the losses that have
been sustained, he declared.

An exchange Of German money for

at Havre In jails and hospitals. This
enables them to buy tobacco and
other luxuries not supplied by the
French.
Only the wounded Germans are
kept here. The prisoners of war
taken by the British are sent across
the channel almost as fast as they
arrive. But the wounded are placed
in hospitals under guard. In case OF
deaths, of which there have been
fifteen out of the 100 in the hos

American embassy at Paris. They
are communicated to the war office
at Berlin through the American en-
bassy.

ONLY 10000 IRISH
FIGHT FOR BRITAIN

DUBLIN. Nov. 10--It is difficult to
obtain exact figures as to the number
II men in Ireland who have gone into
service since August 4, when the war
started. BY persistent inquiry IN
some ten different sources OF informa-
lion and by piecing together the bits
Gathered q general idea is obtalnabie,
however.
The figures given below are simply
the best estimates Of total enlistments
10 be obtained. The total is figured
variously from $4,000 or 10000 to $4,000
or $4,000 or perhaps So 000 The real
figures may be about $1,000 or $4,000.
The total from Ulster is a few hun
dred either way from 21,OOO. This Is
known by a report obtained from the
army and admiralty offices In Belfast.
The force is distributed as follows:
North Irish Horse, S51; Ulster Volun-
teer Force, about 1925; enlistments
direct in the Eighty third Regiment
area Counties Down and Antrim),
about $500; enlistments direct in the
Twenty-seventh regimental area
Counties Tyrone, Derry, Donegal and
Fermanagh), about go to 1900; en-
llstments in the Eighty-seventh regi-
mental area Counties Armagh, Mon
Afghan a)nd Cavan), about 200 to
500 and in army and admiralty re-
cruiting offices about 1900 to 1900.
By far the greater part of the men
from the Ulster Volunteer Force are
armed, uniformed and equipped and
they have received training in camp
ia Ciandeboye, Ballykinlar and Dom
aid Castle. Nearly all were practic-
ally perfect in simple drill and march
ing before the war began.
Estimates of the total from the rest
of Ireland outside of Ulster vary from
3 900 to about $4,000 making the grand
total range from $4,000 to $4,000. Earl
Roberts, Lord Kitchener, Premier As

hoped that 10000 or $1,000 more may
enlist before New Years Day.
