gun fire poured into them, refusing to
listen to the officers who tried to keep
them under cover,

GERMANS USE SUBMARINES

London.-Three great armored Brit
ish cruisers--the Abourkir, the Hogue
and the Cressy-with hundreds OF
dead, and two German submarine
boats. are at the bottom Of the North
Sea, following the first naval engage
ment Of real consequence in the war.
Three of the attacking German sub
marines escaped, according to sursiv-
ors of the cruisers, who we're landed
at Ymulden, Holland, but the quick
fire of numerous English guns sent
the other two to the bottom.
The Abourkir was torpedoed first,
and then as her sister cruisers, the
Hogue and the Greasy, approached to
pick up the survivors their hulls were
ripped open by t%orpedoes shot from
the German submarines, which prob
ably arose under the war vessels. W.
Apparently the sea was then riddled
from shots from the quick.firing guns
Of the British warships in an effort
to sink the flotilla Of submarines
which had stealthily crpt under them

the sea which might indicate the loca
ton of a submarine became the target

While the announcement of this dis
aster by the official news bureau does
not state where 1t occurred, 1t Is as
sumed that the Abourkir, the Hogue
and the Greasy were part Of the line
Of more than 100 British war vessels
that form a great line bottling the
