THREE BRITISH
CRUISERS SUNK
TWO GERMAN SUBMARINES AND TWO
TORPEDO BOATS AND SUBMARINES
OF THE AUSTRIAN FLEET GO DOWN
ARMIES STILL FIGHTING HARD.

London, September 22-The daring
raid OF German submarines across the
North Sea, which resulted this morn
ing in the sinking of the British cruis-
ers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy, has
diverted attention from
the battlefields to the Continent.
This was one OF the things the
British Navy has been led to expect,
for the Germans have quite frankly
avowed that their plan was to reduce
British naval superiority by submarine
raids and sowing or mines, and they
have been training their young Off
GERS for sallies OF this kind.
Two of the five German submarines
were destroyed by the British, accord
ing to English survivors.
The ships sunk, while obsolete,
still were very useful vessels, and it
is satisfaction to England to know
that her cruiser fleet is still double
in number that of the Germans.
The loss OF life among the crews
or the three vessels Is heavy, although
a considerable number of men were
picked up by the cruiser Lowestoft, a
division of torpedo-boat destroyers,
and some trawlers. There were 2,265
men on the three cruisers and it is
reported about 700 we're saved.
The German war loan subscriptions
total S1,097 ,250,000.
There is heavy fighting at several
points to the south of Antwerp be-
tween the Belgians and Germans.
Two Austrian torpedo boats and one
torpedo-boat destroyer were sunk by
floating mines off the coast of DaI-
malta.
Lieutenant General Won Busse, of
the German Army, was killed in act
ion.
The losses to both sides in the
fighting of the past two weeks have
been frightful. Trains from the
battlefront for Paris and the South
Of France move hourly and each is
filled to the doors with French, Brit
ish and German wounded.
1t is reported in Paris that the son
of Count Won Moltke the German chief
Of staff, was killed in the battle at
Esternay.

UNREASONABLE THING TO ASK
'hlrety Tourists Inclined to Be Fin.
leky Should Visit ireland During
the Winter Months.

Two New York men were touring
ireland last summer by automobile
On hot July afternoon they came
to an inn. Stopping, they went into
the bar. A red-cheeked peasant girl
was the barmaid. The travellers or.
dered Irish and soda. The girl served
them and went on with her inter
rupted work Of wiping the bar. One
of the men tasted his drink and found
1t tepid.
II say, my GIRL" he said, won't
you please put some Ice in these
dr;nks?"
Her mouth went wide open and the
hopping cloth was poised in mid-air
Amaze held her silent for moment.
Then she found tongue in a hurry.
Ice, is it? And who the - ever
heard of ice in July?"
Whereupon she fell to polishing
again.

Ones Ancestors.

How many male and female ances-
tors were required to bring you into
the world? First, it was necessary
that you should have father and
mother. That makes two human be-
lngs. Each of them must have had a
father and mother. That makes four
human beings. Again, each of them
must have had father and mother
making eight more human beings. So
on we go back to the time of Jesus
Christ, Sc generations. The calcula-
ton thus resulting shows that 1884,
235,O17 ,489, 534, 976 births must have
taken place to bring you into this
World-you who read these lines! All
this since the birth of Christ-not
since the beginning of time.
