GREAT FLEET SUBMARINE
TO BE BUILT FOR u. S. NAVY
Will Have Cruising Radius of $500
Miles and 21-knot Speed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Designs have
been completed and specifications pre-
pared in the United States Navy De-
partment for new and distinct type of
submarine which will outclass subma-
rines of the German U-e class. 1t will
be the greatest submarine afloat
This new type will be known as a Fleet
Submarine" 1t will displace 1900 tons,
which means that 1t will be twice the
size Of any existing submarine now in
The aim of the naval authorities In
calling for bids for this distinctive type
of underwater craft is to obtain sea-
keeping, feet-going submarine OF high
speed and great defensive power 1t must
be able to accompany the American bat
tleship fleet.
Bids for the new fleet submarine will
be opened at the Navy Department on
December 15
The cost will be about 81 10000 1t is
to have a cruising radius of $500 or 1000
knots and a surface speed of 81 knots
and more than 16 knots speed when
navigating under water. 1t will have
double the surface speed and nearly
three times the underwater speed of
those previously authorized for the Ameri-
can or any foreign navies.

The Russian Admiralty today announce
ed that 10 Turkish and German vessels
carrying coal for the ottoman navy had
been sunk in the Black Sea Off the north

warships.
The War Ofice at the same time issued
statement declaring that the Russian

Turkish Armenia.
Advance of the Russians toward
Erzerum is being led by the Cossacis,
who are clearing the country of tho
Turkish troops to permit the advance OF
infantry and artillery To capture
Erzerum it will be necessary to bring UP
heavy guns, as the city is defended by
modern fortihcations. The Turkish troops
concentrated at Erzerum are said to be
under command Of German officers.
The newspapers here proudly comment
on the wonderful 90 hours march In tho
Caucasus by a Russian column OF all
three armies over mountain passes COW

tends over a hundred miles.
The most important fighting is expected
TO take place near Erzcrum, Turkish Ar

strength of the Turks at $4,000 men with
from So to 60 batteries, or go guns. 35 to
40 squadrons of regular cavalry and 10000

The Moscow Armenians are appealing
to their fellow countryman in Russia for

ADMIRAL CRADOCK
LOST IN FLAGSHIP,
CHTLIANS BELIEVE
Wireless Call From Glasgow
Last Heard Of Scattered
British Squadron, None of
Which Reach Port.
VALPARAISO. Nov. G.

VALPARAISO, Nov. G.
There is little hope remaining in VAL
paraiso that Rear Admiral Sir Christo-
pher Cradock his flagship the Good Hope
and the 300 men of her crew survived
the first great naval engagement of the
war, when, on Sunday evening, German
fleet sank the Monmouth and scattered
the other units of the British cruiser
squadron
Whether the Glasgow and the Otranto,
which escaped destruction. survived the
damage suffered is not known. The
whereabouts of the German cruisers
Leipzig and Bremen also remains in
doubt.
Contrary to first reports, the Good
Hope and Glasgow did not reach Coronel
or Talcahuano, nor did the Otranto find
a Chilan port. The German fleet, with
the exception Of the Leipzig and the
Bremen, after putting in here, left again.
If they had any word of the Leipzig and
the Bremen they did not make it known.
The transport Prinz Eitcl anchored In
the bay last night
A wireless cry from the British cruiser
Glasgow-intercepted by the German
victors-was the last word received from
Rear Admiral Cradock's squadron, follow
ing the engagement off the Chilian coast
Sunday.
The Germans saw the Monmouth sink
and heard an explosion on board the
Good Hope that they believe sent the
crippled flagship to the bottom.
All that night the German cruiser
Nuruberg searched the seas for the Good
Hope unsuccessfully. They picked up
radiosram directed to the flagship by
the Glasgow. There was no reply.
At the moment that the German guns
were trained the Good Hope was seen
coming at full speed and through good
seamanship she managed to join the
other British ships The British had
come about and the two squadrons
steamed southwark in parallel lines, the
Germans being closer to the coast Grad
ually the two lines came nearer to each
other and the Scharnhorst and the Gnei-
senau simultaneously let go their u S-nch
guns, which they concentrated on the
Good Hope. The firing continued for
several minutes without damage. The
German shots fell short, and the Good
Hope had such roll that she could not
reply. The small cruisers were far out
of range.
Slowly the vessels drew nearer, and
when the two units were but COCO yards
apart the Good Hope fired her two 9-inch
guns. She was still unable to use her
eight 6-inch guns. which on the gun deck
were so near the water line that as the
vessel rolled they were almost awash
a terrible broadside from the Scharn-
horst and the Gneisenau crippled the Brit
ish flagship and her engines stopped.
The Monmouth. recognizing the distress
of her companion, made a dash to cover
the Good Hope. but by that time the
distance separating the two squadrons
had been reduced to 5000 wards. and the
Germans were able to bring all their
ships into action and TO use all the guns
of tho hVe vessels.

ARMIES CHECK
BLOODY ONSET
NORTH OF LYS
French Official Report An
nounce8 Failure to Gain by
Either Side in Fierce AS
saults From Dixmude to
Arras.

The opposing armies are gripped in
a deadlock between Dixmude and the
Lys, the official French report an
1ounces this afternoon.
Below the Lys, around Arras,
bloody assaults by the Germans, aid
ed by heavy guns, have failed to gain
ground
Further south and to the west, re-
pulses of the enemy and minor vic
tories are reported from Paris.
Berlin, in an official report, denies
that the Crown Prince or any, other
members of the imperial family is
wounded or in i'll health. General ad-
vances are announced in the Franco
Belgian sphere.
Dutch reports assert the Kaiser's
forces are rapidly being withdrawn
from Brussels and Antwerp.
No further news has been heard of
the flagship Good Hope and the
cruisers Glasgow and Otranto, dam
aged off the Chilian COAST and all are
believed lost.
Ten Turkish and German vessels,
coaling the Turkish fleet in the Black
Sea, were sunk by Russian warships,
according to Petrograd official state
.nents.
Thirty-six French vessels, eight
Russian and one Belgian steamship
were seized at Constantinople by the
Turks, according to Berlin. A Brit
ish steamship was sunk at Avail,
Asia Minor.
Turkish troops destroyed an entire
battalion of Cossacks in Caucasia, ac-
cordng to Constantinople reports,
and repulsed the Russian advance.
But, according to Petrograd, the
Turkish forces, surprised by the sud-
den advance of the Cars troops,
have fed in rout into Armenia
1t is said 10000 Turks are on the
Caucasian border, ready to meet the
Russians.
French and British warships con-
tinue a long-range bombardment of
Dardanelles forts.
Movement on Berlin is again
hinted at in the Petrograd official
statements. Capture of Mlawa. the
German base in northern Poland, and
occupation of Lyck, across the East
Prussian border, has forced the Ger
mans toward their second line of de-
fenses, and Petrograd believes they
soon will fall back to line based
on the important strongholds of
Graudenz, Thorn and Posen, which
protect the German capital. The
Cars forces already are in force in
several places on German soil, and
the Kaiser's armies are reported in
precipitate fight before the invaders.
Berlin insists the East Prussian de-
fense is not endangered and that
strong forces are ready to withstand
