the Kissimmee river was the only
means Of communication, other than
roads, between some three thousand
square miles of territory along the
river and Kissimmee, the nearest
point touched by railroad.
As to the Oklawaha, Senator Flet-
cher was even more emphatic. He
characterized the attacks on the pro-
gress as gross and wholly inexcusa-
BILE. He denied the charge made
against the Kissimrnee and Oklawaha
projects, that they were being push
ed IN the interest Of land spectators
and reclamation and drainage
schemes. He said that there was no.
more neritorious project, no improve
ment more needed anywhere III the

London, Dec. 10.-There was great
rejoicing here last night over the
British victory in the South Atlantic,
in which the British fleet under Vice
Admiral sturdee vanquished the Ger
man squadron under Won Spec which
few weeks ago defeated the squad
ron of Admiral Craddock off the
Chilean coast, sinking two British
cruisers, the Monmouth ard the Good
Hope.
The battle began at a. m. Tues
day, and only lasted two hours. The
German squadron consisted of FIVE
cruisers, the Scharnhost, Gneisenau,
Nurenburg, Leipzig and Dresden. The
Schainhost, Gneisenau and Leipzig
were sunk, and the other two German
cruisers made off, with the faster
ships of the British after them. Two.

SENATOR FLETCHER
VAS SARCASTIC.
IN SPEECH BEFORE RIVERS AND HARBORS
CONGRESS
SHOWED WHY APPROPRIATIONS FOR OKLAWAHk AND KS
SIMMEE RIVERS ARE TIMELY AND NECESSARY

Washington, Dec. I0.-A strong
blow for broader and more compre-
hensive policy on the part of the fed
eral government toward the inland
waterways Of the United States was
struck by Senator Duncan u. Flet-
cher, cf Florida, yesterday before the
National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress now in session in this city.
Preliminary to q defense of the
0klawaha river project, which was
the subject of considerable criticism
during the long debate on the last
river and harbor' bill, Senator Flet-
cher satirically said that for half
dozen years he had been attending
the annual meetings of the National
Rivers and Harbors Congress, and
had felt, as he mingled with its mem
bers from all parts Of the country,
that he was in "if not select, at least
reputable society But, he said,
"since your last meeting / must tell
you, though you may have read it,
that you have been publicly declared
TO be the gratuitous makers of pork
barrel proposals for legislation and
the greatest lobby in the country.
If there be a grain of truth in the
reckless statements made and pub
lished broadcast rejecting on the
members of this congress, then the
only course open to you is to adjourn
and, hat in hand, HE yourselves 'un-
honored and unsung, to the earliest
train for home. Yes, there is one
thing you should do before you dis
solve, and that is adopt a memorial
to the Congress Of the United States
to the effect that since you have been
exposed, it would be useless for you
to offer any suggestion or submit
any petitions to it, discredited as you
are, and you hereby efface your
selves, individually and collectively,
offer your most humble apologies for
ever having existed at all, and ask
forgiveness for your presumption in
assembling in Washington and listen
ing to addresses by presidents and
United States and cabinet officials,
ambassadors and ministers from for
eign countries, representatives and
senators and leaders in economic
thought, in order that you might the
more clearly anderstand these great
problems"
Senator Fletcher said that it had
been charged and published through
out the whole country that the Kis-
simmee river was "dry eight months
in the year. and ought to be insured
against fire. .'The river never was
dry a minute said he. He said the
commerce on the Kissimmee for 1912,
consisting Of fruit, fish, fertilizer,
feed, groceries, general merchandise,
logs, lumber, naval stores, ETC.,
amounted to 1880 short tons, vail
ued at s2,9so,5oo being an increase

ATTACK;
FIERCE DEFENSE
SUCCESS GAINED BY NEITHER RUSSIANS.
NOR GERMANS IN THE EAST

Petrograd, Dec. 10.-The German
night attacks in the vicinity of Lowicz
were revealed last night by power
full searchlights operated by the Rus
slams and after hard fighting, the
Germans were repulsed. The Ger
mans are bombarding Lowicz and
part of that city in flames.
The Germans are fighting desper-
ately to gain possession of the rail-
road between Glowno and Lowicz but
have failed thus far. Military experts
claim that the Russian execution of
Lodz will be of no benefit to the Ger
mans because they will be unable to
break through the Russians lines to
the east Of that city.
