GERMAN CRUISER
BOMBARDS MADRAS
Damage in Great British
Indian Port Said To Be
Slight, However.

London, Sept. "a. The German
cruiser Emden, which has been operat-
ing against British shipping in the
Bay Of Bengal, where she has been re-
ported to have destroyed six merchant
vessels, furnished another diversion to
the British public by a sudden descent
Tuesday evening on Madras and brief
bombardment of that port
The damage done by the Emden's fire
is said here to be intinitesimal and con-
fined to a few sheds along the harbor
front. Three Indians are reported killed,
and the Indian liner Chupra was
slightly damaged by shell. The rest
of the shipping escaped. ,
After this attack the Emden sailed
in the direction of Pondicherry, where
the French authorities are said to be
awaiting her.
A Madras dispatch to Reuters Tele-
gram Company, dated Wednesday, de-
scribes the attack Of the Emden on
that port as follows:
"The Emden appeared of Madras
Tuesday evening and shelled the city.
Two oil tanks were set alight and are
still burning. The telegraph office and
some houses on our harbor also were
hit, but the damage generally is slight.
"On our guns replying the cruiser
ceased firing, extinguished her lights
and disappeared. The engagement
lasted fifteen minutes. There was lit
tie or no excitement and only three
Indians were killed
Madras is q seaport Of British India
the seat of government and headquar-
ters of the Madras army. 1t IS the
third seaport of India, ranking after
Bombay and Calcutta. Among the
principal buildings are the cathedral
the Scotch Church, Government House,
Senate House, Memorial Hall and
Chepak Palace, formerly the residence
of the Nawab of Arcot, but now con-
tanning the revenue Offices.

Tending forces, defeated after severe
prolonged fighting in the hcid ana

succeeding ten days of difficult retreat

Russians have been pursuing at the

Another symptom Of the desperate
condition of the enemy is the whole
sale pillage by Austrians Of their CWn
countryside, evidently necessitated by
extreme hunger, owing to the loss &
commissariat trains and the capture OF
railway communications all around the
retreating forces. Petrograd would not
be surprised to hear at any moment

Austria's last fortress IN Gallcla.

Search Tor a Horse.

Leon Milet, stolid but good natured
druggist, volunteered to help US in our
search for horse and vehicle. lie
spent hours of patient walking, he
neglected his business, and at no time
would consider the acceptance Of the
slightest pay.
Lewis was the principal horse in
spector of our troop, and the druggist
ran down every horse clew in the town.
Hope did not run very high on the
evening Of August "a, a. We sat IN the
little cafe, but there was a possibility
that we might be able to get horse
from one mau and a cart from another
With this kind of a vehicle, our worst
wounded could proceed. while those
who were in good condition would con-
tinue walking.
The talkative landlord told US OF
severe fighting that had been going on
ali day long. Even as late as O'Clock
we could hear the thud of the heavy
guns not so far ahead.
In Belgian French, which we. vaguely
understood, we gathered that there had
been a desperate fight at BulssIere'
where the Germans forced their way
across the Sambre, and at Hautes
Wineries, a town near By. The Ger
mans were driving the French and
English back.
0nly the day before the English
cavalry had been here in BInche, but

How StiIton Cheese Is MAZDA.

Etilton cheeses differ from ordinary
cheeses in the method of manufacture.
Each Stilton is made in a circular
mold. or vat, two feet deep and about
nine inches in diameter, perforated at
the sides and bottom. When the milk
has been turned into curd by means Of
rennet it is transferred into the vat.
which is lined with a coarse woven
cloth, with ladle. When thin layer
of curd covers the bottom of the mold
little dry salt is sprinkled over it.
This is supposed to create the blue
mold often found in Stiltons. Then
more curd is added in layers until the
vat is full. The whey gradually drains
through the cloth and out of the holes
into the pan in which the vat stands

Two Sunsets Per Day

There is only one place in the
world where the sun sets twice
daily, and that is at Leek. in
Staffordshire, The reason of
this is that a Jagged mountain is
situated to the west of the town.
and in the evening the sun sets
behind it and darkness comes on.
Then the first sunset occurs, the
gas-lamps it, and apparently
night has set in. But it has
not, for in the space of an hour
or so the sun reappears again
through the opening at the side
of the mountain and daylight
again appears. Artificial lights
are extinguished and daylight
again prevails, until the sun de-
sends below the opening and
the second sunset occurs and
night comes to stay.
