Denver, Dec. 11.-Frank Craig,
founder of the Craig Colony of Broth
erly Relief here, died some time last
night in his tent in the colony. His
body was found by nurses today

When Craig came to Denver he
sought for health By living in a tent
pitched on the outskirts of the city.
Soon he shared his quarters with 9TH

provide themselves with hygienic
surroundings, and later a whole vii

which Craig could not meet, from his
own means were born by contribu-

tions commission.
II. c. Farber, akent of the Colo

LOSS OF GERMAN
CRUISERS SHOCK
TO FATHERLAND

Berlin, tvia Amsterdam and Lon
dom. Dec. i1.--A German semi-of-
fetal statement was given out here
today regarding the naval battle off
the Falkland Islands December s
when the German cruiser squadron
commanded by Admiral Count Won
Spree was defeated by a British
squadron under Nive Admiral Sir
Frederick Dovcton Sturdee. The loss
of the Scharnhorst. Gneiscnau and
Leipzig is conceded by the Germans
and little hope was held out that the
cruisers Dresden and Nurnberg could
long evade capture.
The statement read:
Regarding the naval battle Oft
the Falkland islands it transpircd
that our cruiser squadron soon after
the battle with Sir Christopher Grad
docks ships off Coronel, put into the
harbor of Son Diego de Chile and left
there after stay of less than "a
hours for unknown destination. 1t is
assumed that the squadron steamed
southwark to seek the British battle
ship Canopus and the light cruiser
Glasgow.
"Meanwhile il appears from the
English newspapers, very strong
British squadron was dispatched to
search for and to destroy our cruis-
er squadron. Nothing certain is yet
known concerning the battle. 1t is
reasonable to conclude. however, that
the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leip-
zig wese sunk, while the Dresden and
the Nurnberg succeeded in escaping.
in view of the superiority of the
enemy's fleet, which consists particu-
ships, there seems little chance that
our two cruisers can long eyadc pur-
suit. We must, therefore, also rcck-
on with the loss of both these ships.
1T Is hardly to be expected that
accurate information will be given
from British sources Of the course OF
the conflict or of the composition of
the British squadron.
''It should not be forgotten that
our squadron was four months on the
high seas and that without being
able to make use of cablegrams or
other means of information, it assem-
bled and dealt heavy blow to the
enemy's fleet. No protective harbor
was at the disposal of our ships for
most necessary repairs and there was
no dock for the cleaning of their
kcels. They succeeded, nevertheless
in getting supplies of provisions and
coal for four months without falling
into the encmy's hands,

As far as the coal companies are

been on strike, first preference will
be given to the miners who have

The French and German official
statements of today indicate that the
new attempt of the allies to throw
back the Germans in Belgium has
been checked, and that in the region
of Ypres the Germans have not only
hurled back the oncoming forces, but
in turn have made an advance.
The Paris announcement states
that several German attacks were
made and that three of them were
completely repulsed. 1t is admitted,
however. that at one point the Ger
mans succeeded in reaching one of
the first line trenches of the allies.
Elsewhere in Flanders. however. con-
tinued progress is reported. The Ger
man statement merely says that
gains have been made in Flanders.
The fighting in the Argonne region
continues to ie the subject Of con-
flicting claims. The French war Of
flee asserts that two German at
tacks there were repulsed and that
the allies have pressed forward sew
eral trenches. Berlin reports prog.
Iess east and west of the Argonne
forest Each official statement,
moreover. tells of advantages won in
the artillery encounter. which ap-
parently is proceeding with undi-
minished intensity.
The Berlin war office states, as
Petrograd virtually comedies, that
the German advance in Poland is
continuing. The situation in east
Prussia, where the Russians have in
vaded German territory, remains un-
changed and there is no further news
from the battle for the possession of
Cracow, Galicia.
