RIGHT WING OF GERMAN ARMY
HAS NO FLANK BUT THE. SEA
NATIONS TRUE TEST
Is WAR. SAYS BRITON

A remarkable article. which is
bound to provoke much discussion in
this country. appears in the Septem-
ber issue of the Nineteenth Century
and After. a British monthly maga-
zine. 1t is by Harold F. Wyatt, a
well-known English writer. and Is
entitled Gods Test by War-a
Forecast and Its Fulfillment." The
article. which involves a trenchant
appeal for the establishment of COM
pulsory military service in England,
fOretells the defeat of England by
Germany and the United States by
Japan. unless the two English speak
ing countries ignore the pleas of
sentimentalists for disarmament
and accept the burdens and sacrifice
involved in preparation for war;
War, the author insists, is Gods test
of peoples efficiency and victory is
the reward of sober. unselfish devo-
ton to high national ideals. Mr..
Wyatt's appeal was first published
in September, 1911, at which time 1t
fell upon empty ears. The editor Of
the magazine considers it's prophetic
significance so great that he repub-
fishes it today. and it has already
stirred up considerable comment in
the British press

SEVENTH SUBMARINE VICTIM
England's Navy Has Suffered 1t

British Loss Is Greater Thar

London. Oct. 16.-Another thrust from
the German submarine service has
robbed the British navy Of the cruiser
Hawke and has raised the tally of the
list Of warships sunk by the Germans

virtual destruction of the cruiser Pc

The Hawke. under command OF Cap

day in the North sea the graveyard Of

gunner that saved the Hawkes. sister

GERMAN war LOSSES
Western Army Casualties Reach 7OO,-
OOO-Austrians Suffer Heavily.

London. Oct. 16.-The Chronicle has re-
ceived from a correspondent in Holland
ing:
The authorities in Berlin estimate their
total losses In France and Belgium up
10 date as more than 100000 men. This
does not include their losses on the east
ern frontier. which they estimate at more
than 150.OOO
They also acknowledge that Austrian
losses exceed 100000. Off.ciai renorts
which have been published only concern
portion of Prussian losses in France
NO oHicfai lists have been published re-
gardtng losses Of troops in Bavaria.

From this evidence the Austro-German

FEAR OF AIRSH|P
Police Enforce Strict Regula-
tiOns of Lighting in London.
Dark Curtains Are Hung Over
Windows of High Buildings.

London, Oct. 16.-The people Of
London refuse to be frightened by
the menace of a Zeppelin raid. The
olice are having great trouble to
compel them to conform to the reg
ulations for minimizing the lighting
of buildings and streets. A third or
der was issued today which follows:
''All external private lighting not
needed to secure the safety of traffic
should be discontinued.
"SOme business and other estab-
lishments are still maintaining inter-
Tor lighting Of too great intensity and
which illuminates the roadway.
THE commissioner of police is ad-
vised that such lighting represents
under certain circumstances a source
of danger to the particular neighbor-
h BOD and community at large, and 1t
is necessary therefore that this source
of danger be removed.
THE police have been given direc-
tions to take the action necessary to
insure that orders restricting lighting
are to be carried out both in letter
and in spirit" The police ordered
the extinguishing Of 900 high pow
er gas lights in one section Of the
town. Most of them were attached
to shop fronts. A conference Of the
electric lighting CONF anies was held
to arrange measures for complying
with police regulations. The disap-
pearance of electric advertising de-
vices from the main streets and
squares effected a noticeable change
in the appearance of the city. The
police have sent men to put up dark
curtains in the upper stories of the
few high apartment houses and when
the occupants fail to keep the cur
tains drawn at night they receive a
police visitation and a reminder OF
the regulation.
