CRUISERS AB0UKIR, HOGUE
AND CRESSY ARE BLOWN UP
Vessels Were PatroIling North Sea
When Greatest War Disaster to
Date, From British Stand
point, Occurs-Loss of
Life Is Very Great.

London, Sept. 23.-The British ar
mored cruisers, Aboukir, Hogue and
Cressy, have been sunk in the North
Sea by German submarines, according
to a bulletin given out by the official
bureau.
Germans Strike Another Blow.
Out of a clear sky came the laconic
announcement that the Germans had
struck another blow at Britain's sea
supremacy.
Three cruisers, their value totalling
$12,000,000, and. carrying compile
ment of more than 2,100 men, were
torpedoed and sunk in the North sea,
off the German coast, by German SUBJ
marines essaying a raid similar to
that in which they sent the scout pa
troll cruiser Pathfinder to the bottom.
Many Lives Lost.
The loss of life among the crews OF
these three vessels probably will be
heavy, although a large number OF
men were picked up by the cruiser
Lowestoft, a division of torpedoboat
destroyers and some trawlers.
Neither the time nor the scene OF
the disaster, other than that it was
in the North sea, is given in the Off
cial report.
How Three Were Sunk.
The Aboukir, which was patrolling
In the North sea, was the first to be
sunk when It was struck by torpedo
sent from German submarine. The
Hogue ard Cressy went to the rescue
of the survivors, who were floating in
the waters. AS they were lowering
their boats, the submarines of the enc
my also launched torpedoes against
the two cruisers, they also being sunk.
Speedy Vengeance Demanded.
The announcement of this, the
greatest mishap to the British navy
since the war opened, cast thrill of
horror throughout the entire city.
Demands of speedy vengeance are
heard on all sides, and it is likely that
before many hours have passed news
will come of important action by the
British fleet.

SERIES MAY Be ENDED

Niles and Benton Harbor Clubs
Disagree AS to Where Final
Game Shall Be Played.

South Bend may possibly be the
scene Of the fifth and deciding game
Of the series for the Independent
championship of southern Michigan
between Niles ana Benton Harbor.
Each club has won two of the -four
games played and the fifth was to
have been run off Sunday in Niles,
but a misunderstanding as TO the
place of the last game put halt to
the proceedings and the champion
ship still hangs in the balance.
Unless the Squabble over the city
in which the final game is to be
played continues, the contest will be
staged some place next Sunday and
South Bend is in line for the battle.
The manager of the Benton Harbor
team is holding out for st. Joe, while
Manager Marshall of the Niles crew
is just as strong for his home town
The probable outcome of the affair
will be that the rivals will play it off
at Springbrook.
This would give the fans Of all
three cities one rare treat Besides
all of the fans of the two Michigan
cities, the game would draw a goodly
number of the local bugs. The Hoos-
iers will be away from home on next
Sunday. being scheduled to hook up
with the Adrian Tots for two games
on that date.
