BIG GERMAN NAVAL VICTORY
Squadron of Kaiser's Warships Sinks
British Boats-NearIy Two
Thousand Drown.

London, Nov. IA dispatch from
Lima, Peru, says that the British
cruiser Glasgow, which was in the ma
val battle with the Germans off Coro-
mel, Chile, has arrived at Puerto Montt'
British Admiral Drowned.
London, Nov. Cit was the British
cruiser Good Hope, Rear Admiral Sir
Christopher Cradock's flagship, which
foundered after being set on fire by
shells from German warships in the
naval battle that took place off the
Chilean coast last Sunday. The Brit.
ish cruiser Monmouth, which the Ger
mans said they had sunk, was badly
damaged, and it is possible that she is
the warship which was reported today
to be ashore on the coast of Chile. So
far as is known none of the Good
Hopes crew survived.
Nearly Two Thousand Drown.
Valparaiso, Chile, Nov. 6.--Oficers
of the German cruiser Scharnhorst
expressed the belief that nearly two
thousand British officers and sailors
had been killed in the naval engage
ment off Coronel.
The whereabouts also of the Ger
man cruisers Leipzig and Bremen re-
mains in doubt.
German officers were not backward
about commenting the bravery of the
Britishers in the uneven combat and
intimated that an effort to save lives
would have been made if the storm,
which assumed almost hurricane pro-
portions, had permitted.
The warships in the feet which de.
feated the English we're the Scharn-
horst, Gneisenau, Nurnberg, Leipzig
and Bremen. They won as the result
of two factors-heavier ordnance and
superior gunnery. The weather was
rainy and foggy and there was gale
blowing when the battle opened. In
spite of the mist and the rolling Of the
ships the Germans made nearly every
shot toll

Smoke Menace to Health.


DR.. C. o. Probst, who formely was
secretary of the state board of health
and who is recognized as an authority
on tuberculosis and diseases of the
lungs, states that the smoke nuisance
in cities is really more than a nuis-
ance; 1t is menace, and a menace
not only to property but to health and
life. He says it clogs the lungs and
makes cure very difficult for those
who have tuberculosis.

Another Blow to Loan Sharks.
The court of appeals of the Second

from which the sounds of pianolas

themselves thoroughly as they only do

You even see delicatessen stores in
this brief sprint westward, and windows
with women taking down their
hair and tired business men In paiamas,
smoking pipes. There are even deli

babies in their beds or giving them
whlrls in bathtubs.

Seats along the Drive are filed with
girls and their young men-unchaper-

Wants Three Gents
Tax on Cotton

Atlanta, Sept. lev. S. With
an, the well-known Georgia banker
of this city, seriously advocates spe-
cial legislative enactment taxing
cotton at three cents per pound as
a means of cutting down next year )
acreage. He holds that when re-
duced acreage becomes an assured
fact, then the price of cotton will
go to 13 cents or more, and he is
confident a cotton tax would accom-
plish the acreage reduction beyond
doubt. AS to the constitutional
ity of such legislation, he points out
that six months or more would
elapse before this question could be
decided by the courts, Judging by
the usual length of time such cases
are pending, and by that time the
legislation would have accomplished
it's purpose and it would mage no
difference if the courts did declare
it unconstitutional. Mr.. Witham
believes the governors of the cot
ton growing States should call their
legislatures in S pecial session at
once to pass the necessary laws.

SAVANNAH MAYOR WANTS
COTTON CONFERENCE

Savannah, Ga, Sept. Is. May
or r j. Davant, member of the
"Buy-a-Bale" of cotton committee,
has written letters to every mayor
in almost every city in the cotton
States. urging upon them to call a
conference to adopt means of dis
posing of the distress cotton in the
South. Mayor Davant urged two
conferences, one for each section of
the State, to save long journeys,
these conferences to name delegates
to be held in Savannah in the near
future.
In sending out the call to the con-
ference Mayor Davant urged upon
the mayor of each municipality, or
will do SO, the advisability of buy
ing one or more bales, and using the
cotton therein for the manufacture
of pillows or mattresses in the pub
lie institutions, and thus take the
staple out Of the market for all
time. He will also urge upon the
mayors to write the mayors OF
Northern cities and urge upon them
to buy as much cotton as they pos
sibly can, or induce the firms in
thier cities to do SO.
