Superdfeadnought
AudaCiOuS Sunk.
MOST OF THE CREW
SAVED BY OLYMPIC
White Star Liner Ten Miles Dis
tant When Help Is Asked.

New York, Nov. 15.-Rumors OF dis
aster to the British superdreadnought
Audacious, which have persisted ever
since the White Star liner Olympic,
diverted from it's course, arrived at
Tough Swilly on Oct. 20, are confirm
ed in mail advices received from a
point in Ireland
After career of less than two
years, the Audacious, of the King
armament of his majesty's warships-
lies at the bottom of the ocean off the
north coast of Ireland. It was hit by
a torpedo or disabled by mine just
before 9 a. m. on Oct. q. With the
possible exception of one or two men
the whole crew of 800 officers and
men was rescued by small boats from
the Olympic.
The rescue was made in a rough
sea through brilliant and daring sea-
manship on the part of the White Star
crew.
The battleship's cry for assistance
was caught by the wireless operator
of the Olympic, only about ten miles
distant. The steamer rushed forward
at full speed, while it's crew made
ready for their work. Volunteers were
called for and double the number nee

Decided List at Stern.
BY that time the battleship had a
decided list at the stern, where just
below the water line it had received
it's wound Two of it's engines were
unframed, but the one aft was put
out of commission.
After taking off all the officers and
crew who would leave the ship Cap
tain Haddock of the Olympic turned
his attention to an attempt to save
the warship. A cable was given it,
but it snapped as it frightened.
Meanwhile the bulkheads began to
give way and it was soon apparent
that it would be impossible to tow
the ship or keep her afloat. The cruis-
er Liverpool and several other war
ships, which had come up, stood by.
Late in the afternoon it was decided
to abandon the Audacious and tn Off
crs and men who had remained aboard
reluctantly left it.
The fotilla of rescue ships contin-
| ued to stand by, however, until p M,
when a terrific explosion occurred on
board and the Audacious plunged stern
first and in a moment disappeared.
The explosion is supposed to have
been caused by shells set loose by
the listing of the battleship.
The Audacious met its fate twenty.
| five miles off the Irish coast, which the
| Olympic was skirting.

ABOUT THE STATE
News Of Especial Interest to
Minnesota Readers.
ORDERS MANY SALOONS CLOSED
Special Agent Of the Indian Depart
ment At Warrington Busy in
Northern Minnesota.

Acting for Cato Sells, federal com.
missioner of Indian affairs, Special
Agent Henry A. Larson of the Indian
department at Washington has issued
an order at Bemidji that all saloons
included in the territory affected
by the Chippewa treaty of 1855
must close their doors by Nov. 80.
About 200 saloons In f1fty-nine towns
are affected. Drug stores which sell
liquor also come under the order.
Action of the government, following
the recent decision by the United
States supreme court that the pro-
visions prohibiting the sale of liquor
under the treaty of 1855 are valid,
first became known when Special
Agent Larson and his deputies arrived
here from trip through the affected
district.
BY personal notification they told
the saloonists that they must close
their doors by the end of the month.
While liquor interests at Bemidji and
elsewhere in the affected district have
held out hope that the government
would not actually close the saloons,
but would keep strict watch for law
violations in regard to liquor sales to
Indians, they anticipated the closing
order after conference of officials
and Special Agent Larson when he ar,
rived at Bemidji from Washington.
Seals Fate Of Liquor District.
When the government agent re.
fused to state the nature of his trip
to Northern Minnesota the impression
prevailed that the fate of the liquor
district had been sealed. The towns
affected by the order are:
Barrow, Bemidji, Big Falls, Big
Fork, Bovey, Brainerd, Bull, Galloway,
Calumet, Cass Lake, Chisholm, Co
hasset, Coleraine, Crosby, Guyana
Deer River, Deerwood, Dent, Detroit
Federal Dam, Floodwood, Frazee
Funkley, Gemmell, Georgetown, Grand
Rapids, Hibbing, Holman, Iron Hub

Nymore, Ogema, Oreland, Otter Tail
Park Rapids, Perham, Pillager, Sc
beca, Shevlin, Solway, Stevenson
Ten Strike, Turtle River, Verna, Walk
er, Warba and Wilton.
The order comes as the close of long
arguments, hearings and speculation
concerning the treaty of 1855, which
is one Of six dealing with Indian
problems.
Bemidji, one of the largest towns tc
be affected, has twenty-one saloons
with two at Nymore, suburb. Hib
bling Is the largest town in the ter
ritOry.

LORD ROBERTS DIES
SUDDENLY IN FRANCE

London, Nov. 16.-Field Marshal
Earl Roberts died in France from
pneumonia. A telegram from Field
Marshal Sir John French, commander
of the British expeditionary forces OIL
the continent, appraised. Earl Kitchener.
secretary of state for war, of the death
of England's great soldier. The tele
gram read:
II deeply regret to tell you that Lord
Roberts died at 8 o'clock Saturday
evening""
London was stunned when the wal
bureau made public this news:
"Bobs"-Lord Roberts-hero of the
South African war and retired field
marshal of the British forces, the mil.
itary idol of the generation, expired in
France, where he had gone, in spite OF
his eighty-two years, for one last look
at Tommie Atkins and the Indian
troops in action-for one last smell OF
gunpowder on the firing line.
Field Marshal Roberts suffered
from a severe chill on Thursday and
pneumonia rapidly developed His
great age greatly initiated against
his recovery. The veterans devotion
to the interests of the army, his hard
work in this connection, and his seem.

Of comment since the beginning of

The terrible dampness of the con.

among the kopjes of South Africa.

menced with greater spirit and offen-
sive movements by the Germans near
Verdun have been checked.
Summing up the situation in the
western area of the war French
general says: 1--WE have reoccupied
large part of the French territory
which had been captured by the Ger

on the Belgian army, which is reor-
ganizing We have checked the Ger
mans double turning movement at St.

have forced them to retire in Lorraine
and in the Vosges.'
Russians Advance in East.
On the eastern battle ground the
Russians continue to advance. Vienna
admits officially that the Russians,
moving through Galicia toward Ora
COW, have occupied TarnoW, JaslO and
Krasno. Berlin, however, reports that
the provinces of Silesia and Posen are
out of danger and there is no reason
to fear for East Prussia.
Petrograd advices assert the Rus
sian occupation of Johannesburg, East
Prussia, was coup of strategic i'm
portance and add that between johann
nisburg and Billa the Russians con-
tinue their advance. Another Petro-
grad dispatch says the German retire
ment on the East Prussian front to the
defiles east of the Mazurian lakes in
dicates the Germans hope that on
these positions, which they consider
impregnable, the shock of the Russian
attack will be broken.
In the opinion of British observers
the city of Danzig, on the coast OF
West Prussia, looms large as Rus

belief of the Russian authorities that

Teuton Attempt to Advance Be.
Vond That Point Futile.

London, Nov. 15.-Battle follows
battle in the great struggle in North
east France and Belgium, but not
outstanding the heroic efforts of both
the allies and the Germans the mill
tary situation there apparently has un-
dergone no noteworthy change in the
last twenty.fOur hours. First one side
has gained ground and then the other
has taken it back. The reported cap
ture of Dixmude by the allies appears
70 have been premature, for advices
from the battle front say all attempts
of the Germans to advance beyond
Dixmude seemingly have been in vain.
Official and unofficial reports con-
corning the situation in Flanders seem
to agree that the force of the German
assaults on the allies line disputing
the way to Dunkirk and Calais has
lessened and the feeling is growing in
England that the coveted base for an
invasion of England never will be
gained by Germany.
Paris officially reports that from the
sea to the River Lye the German &C.
ton has become less keen and that at
some points the allies have assumed
the offensive, making progress south
of Bixschoote and retaking a hamlet
east Of Ypres.
Whole Country Made Furnace.
Constant artillery fire in this region
has converted the surrounding country
into a furnace, in which factories,
churches and houses are burning.
A British official report says that in
the tremendous action which preceded
the recent attacks on Ypres by the
Germans the British were under a
heavy artillery fire, which died away
to be succeeded by fruitless infantry
onslaught.
AS the allied armies have resumed
the offensive at various points there is
reason to believe Dixmude may again
be the center Of savage fighting. In
