NAVAL OFFICER SAYS SEA FIGHT )
WAS NOT BATTLE, But MASSACRE

Of their guns was just like . oo.r
drink. Uas
ITO see a real big four FINN,
spouting fame, which flame dow
shells starting, and those shells -,
US but for us, was the most cboss,
thing possible. Once we were IN s ~
ty, | hated it. We had just been I H..
ing our own imaginations stimnlss,
on the subject of shells striking
Now, a few minutes later, to 500
other ship not three miles AWAY
duced to piteous mass of unroo.
INABILITY, wreathed in black fp~'
from which fiared out angry gusts !
fire like VesuviRs in eruption a. :
amending stream of hundred Donna
shells burst on board it, just poin,ss
the moral and showed US what misss
have been.
Says Mainz Acted CALAMITY
"The Mainz was immensely gale,
The last / saw of it it was absontsl,
wrecked. 1t was Tuning inferno r.,
J it had one gun forward and one -
still splitting forth fury and de6ans,
like a wild cat.
Then we went west, while hs,
went east. Just bit later we he.,a
the thunder of the enemy's guns for
space. Then fell silence, and we knew
that was all.
THE most romantic, dramatic and
piquant episode that modern war can
ever show came next The Defende
having sunk an enemy, lowered !
whaler to pick up its swimming su.
vivors. Before the whaler got bach
an enemy's cruiser came up and
chased the Defender, which thus bad

Imagine their feelings, alone in an
open boat without food, rs miles from
the nearest land, and that land an
enemy's fortress, with nothing but fox
and foes around them, and then sud-
denly a swirl alongside, and up, il you
please, hops his Britannia maiestys
submarine E-4, opens its coming
tower, takes them all on board, shuts
up again, dives and brings them home
ESQ miles.
rs not that magnificent? No novel
list would dare face the critics with
an episode like that, except, perhaps
Jules Verne, and yet here it is, and all
true"
England in Anger.
Calm, methodical, undemonstratiVs
Britain, slow to arouse, is getting into
a passion which is carrying the nation
to point of deathless determinatOl
to defeat the Germans. The gloriOusF
gallant fight that the small British
force has been making to stem the
German food towards Paris has
touched this country's imagination
aroused the martial spirit and called
forth a rush to the colors.
Hitherto the country has not
seemed to realize fully the portent o.
events across the channel and, as
the South African war, it's taken
bit of pounding of their own forces 70

otto anger which the situation Dc
manded. Now they have reached tna'
point.
