Bull WARK BLOWN
UP NEAR MOUTH
Of THAMES
Another Great British BattIeShip
Is Destroyed
EIGHT HUNDRED MEN WENT DOWN
Explosion Thought to Have Come
From Within Vessel and Not
From Enemy
EIGHT HUNDRED MEN WENT DOWN

London, Nov. 27.-The British bat
tleship Bulwark was blown up and
totally destroyed yesterday morning
while lying off Sheerness, Eng, near
the mouth of the Thames river. OF
the crew of 700 or 500 men who were
aboard at the time only IA survived.
The cause of the explosion is not
known for a certainty, but it is be-
lieved that it took place in her for
ward magazine Whether it was by
accident or design is Il question to be
determined by the commission which
has been appointed to investigate
the whole affair.
In the opinion of naval men it was
an internal explosion that put an end
to the old battleship, which for ~
years had done service at home and
abroad and lately had been doing her
part in guarding Englands shores.
There was no great upheaval of wat.
er, such as would have occurred if
she had been torpedoed or struck by a
mine. Instead, the ship was eveloped
in smoke and flame and when this
had cleared nothing could be seen but
wreckage floating on the sea.
Houses in towns seven and eight
miles away were shaken by the ex-
plosion. and even before men on ships
anchored nearby could reach their
decks, the Bulwark had disappeared
The water nearby presented a ter
rible appearance, being strewn with
an enormous amount of wreckage
while pieces of the batlleship were
thrown six or seven miles on to the
Essex shore.
Mr. Churchill speaking in the
House OF Commons concerning the
disaster, said. The loss of the ship
does not sensibly affect our military
position. but regreat the loss of life
which was very heavy. Only u men
were saved All the officers and the
rest Of the crew, which suppose
amounted to between zoe and 500
perished.'
The force of the explosion aboa d
the boat was so great that houses
in Sheerness and even in Southend.
seven miles away. and on the other
side of the Midway, were violently
shaken. The people fed into the
streets in alarm. When the great
ship blew up dense clouds of smoke
and flame shot into the air The yes
sci disappeared beneath the waves in
three minutes. So terribly was the
Bulwark -ent that ii was impossible
TO render her any assistance. I'm
medlately after tho explosion the YES
sci was blotted out by smoke and as
the vessel slowly lifted handful OF
men were seen struggling in the wat
er. Small craft rushed to their aid
and picked them up Some Of the
crew were badly mutilated
a touch Of the dramatic was added
TO the catastrophe by the fact that
the band OF the Bulwark was PLAYING
when the explosion came The dis
aster happened while the Bulwark
was lying at anchor off the naval
port of Sheerness near the mouth OF
the Thames, but the officers of the
port scout the public impression that
the vessel was the victim of Ger.
man submarine.

KILLED DEER ON SUNDAY
Hyler Lippineott Of Pownal Convicted
and Put on Probation.

Hyler Lippincott. a l7-year-old Pow.
nal boy. was brought into court Tues
day by County Game Warden Edward
s. Higgins, charged with shooting a
buck on Sunday contrary to the pro.
visions CT the fish and game laws.
The boy pleaded guilty and the statu-
tory fine of 800 was imposed The
fine was then RENTED and the boy
MAS placed on probation.
Neither the lad or his family are
in position to pay a large fine and
the court took advantage of the pro
visions of the law which enables him
to remit fines in particular cases.
Young Lippincott was exceedingly
thankful over the outcome Of the
case. as he had a right to be. and
with tears in his eyes thanked the
officials for the olemency that had
been extended him.
He said that he was on his way TO
camp with the intention Of hunting
deer on tho following day and that
when the buck jumped out of the
brush and gave him good shot he
couldn't resist the temptation to kill
the animal.

Too Optimistic

London, Nov. 27-In the absence
of confirming advices. military au-

the belief that the unofficial advices
from Petrograd of decisive Russian
victory in Poland a;e over-optimistic.
Berlin insists that decisive battle
has not yet been found in Poland,
Paris Nov. 27.--The German artil-
lery fire was much less in evidence
today. \ correspondent writing from

TO be well satisfied with the situation
