BIG GERMAN NAVAL VICTORY
British 6oats-Neary 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.-Officers
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 commencing the bravery of the
Britishers in the uneven combat and

The warships in the fleet which de-

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 tell.
266 Men Sank With Yorck.
Berlin, Nov. 6, via The Hague and
Wilhelmshaven shows that 266 men
are missing from the crew of the Ger

Underwoods s physical feet being some four sizes smaller than the average of the i30 pairs In the junior chamber
 But Mr.. Underwood's political shoes are tremendous in size, and the endeavor of the statesmen is to find some Cinderella large enough to fill them, without rat ting around like a pea in bushel basket. So far. the rivalry has been kept pretty we'll under cover. but it Is keen, nevertheless, and on the reassemhling of Congress may generate acrimony and provoke the gnashing of teeth.
 By observance of general precedent the mantle of Underwood should fall upon Claude Kitchin-that is to say, Kitehin seems in line to take over Underwood's s discarded shoes. As ranking majority member of the committee on ways and means, Kitchin naturally would be in line for promotion and the leadership of the House, in the order of things, would pass from Alabama to North Caro- lima. But these be the days of errant dope and loft expectation fails, and that most oft when most it promiseth," as the member from Stratford-on-Avon once put it.
 For instance, there is Bob Henry of Texas, who of laate has obtruded him. self in the limelight professedly in the interest of the cotton producers. Henry is chairman of the powerful committee or rules and likewise is a candidate for the Senate, and the leadership of the House for couple of years might give him a great boost in his fight to succeed Culberson.
 Another dark horse of even greater promise is Swagar Sherley of Kentucky, than whom there is no more popular member of the House, albeit he is tw o-fisted fighter. especially when the administration is in need of milli- tant defender or aggressor. Sherley is ranking member of appropriations, and some folks do say he carries as much influence under his hat as Chairman John J. Fitzgerald.

St. Louis. October 5.-(Speoial)-A gen tie wind whisked a slip of paper from the desk of General Manager W. F.

for the last week of September was all
 most exactly twice the money value of the gold which was sent to Ottawa on the last day of September In normal times exports of this kind would have in olcated the creation of large credit bal ance on the other side of the sea or the imports of gold with which to meet a trade balance. It needs no demonstra ton
 to show that continued exports of the money value each week of the exports or the last week of September will speed fly create conditions on the other side or the sea which will make It needless Tor HIS to utilize any more gold. Probably financial conditions across the sea will compel England and probably France so to handle the money market situatio that exchange will remain for time slightly above the gold exporting point. But with heavy exports such as are now clearly indicated 1t will be inpractica ble for any length of time to maintain this high ra te or exchange. The exports forecast a considerable limitation in the amount of gold which will have to be taken from the gold pool of s1Oo.0oo OoO in order to pro- tect our international financial relations.

By HOLLAND

New York, October 5.-7(Special.) Jon the last day of September s10.0oo.oO0 in gold was exported in fact to Ottawa, Canada, but so far as international financing was concerned really to London. For Ottawa has been constituted through one of the banks there an agent or representative of the Bank of England.
 In the last week of August commodities of the money value of s2000o,0oo round numbers, were exported from. the port of New York. What was the money value of exports from other ports of the United States was not known at the time the custom house figures for the port of New York were made public. As soon as reports were made of the export of MO- O0o.oo0 in gold to Ottawa and the export for the last week of September of com n:odities of the money value of $20000,00o was made public, it did not fall to occur to leaders in the financial district that these two exports would in the course Of time, and very likely speedily, be found to bear important relations each to the other.
 Report has been made occasionally in this column of negotiations which were in progress between representatives of other nations than our own. particularly those now engaged in war. and American manufacturers and traders. These nego- tiations have necessarily been confiden- tial. A voluntary censorship has been es- tablished so as to protect the transac- tions or keep them from the public eye. That is due chiefly to the desire that ntI mt ha inf ad ha have no immediate knowledge of these transactions. Ol course the normal and healthful competition between American industries also sheltered the transactions tu some extent It is certain, however, that sooner or later there would be dis closure of some of these transactions made by the records published by author

Why America Should Now Lead in Beauty

 The French as a nation have taste tradition and remarkable dexterity in fhe finer branches of manufa curing. and this unusual combination probablv explains the fact that they have ab- soiutely led the world in the origin a'ihg or fashions They have not only mace 1ashions for their own women. hut, when these did not become the women of other countries they have provided special designs for them. Any country that takes this supremacy from, France will in a large measure be forced to duplicate conditions existine. there
 As was said In an earlier part of this lesson, the originator of the dress making business in Paris was an Eng lishman and the business heads of most of the important firms there are foreigners. While the French are thrifty and painstaking, they are not particularly successful in big organ nations. and 1t is in this direction that the foreign element has been 10 the fore. in making a big business out of. the various small Industries that made up formerly the dressmaking force.
 All Raw Materials at Hand
 In France all the materials for dress making are at hand. Silks are now produced In large quantities in both England and America. but Lyons heads the world in producing the most beau tiiul brocades. velvets, all the higher grade of dress materials. The same Is true of laces. trimmings and embroid- cries; while the rest of Europe and America produces them, the most ex- elusive lines are in France or near by
 In regard to the workshop the French have had a great advantage over oth- CT nations The French working girl. partl. by instinct, partly from train ing and heredity takes naturally to ne edle work and every branch of dress producing

 Not the least important asset in Paris supremacy in matters of the toi- let lies in the support given 1t by the women.

as long as they confine their eff

not be short sighted. It is not

SO we drive in the bitches and
hope that some day the road will
be fit to travel. Five dollars
worth of work done by a man, a
team and a six dollar King road

From the news that has been
received from Max it is evident
that the voters are to have at
Least two county division propo-
sitions from which to select this
fall. The suddeness with which
the Nelson-Garrison proposition
was launched, caught the people,
in the north half of the county
where division sentiment is pre-
velent, unawares and they gener-
ally accepted this Nelson-Garri-
son proposition as the right and
proper thing and signed up the
petitions that were circulated
without a question. After con-
sidering the unfeasibleness Of
the proposed boundaries, however
the people Of Max, Benedict, Ru-
So and Dogden and the adjoining
country held a consultation and
decided that if county division
was to receive the support of
the voters and taxpayers Of the
whole county it should he pop
ularized by offering a proposition
that would be fair, reasonable
and equitable. 1t was agreed
that in determining proposed
boundaries first of all it must be
something that had the appear
ance of fairness to those who
were to remain in and make up
the old county, and second, the
views and wishes Of the designing
politician should not be given
too much credence. Prompted
with this spirit a new county
division scheme was evolved by
these real friends of division in
the north end which to us has
every semblance Of fairness. 1t
divides the county in just about
half and leaves the south half
a solid, compact territory. What
these people propose is to Gre
ate a new county to be called
Hanna which will consist Of the
two north tiers of townships and
all Of the Fort Berthold Indian
reservation. This would leave
Mclean county all the territory
south Of township 149 outside
of the reservation.
