OWED UNDER MINES.
British Submarines Sink Turkish Bat.
tleships In Messudch.

The FIRST serious blow inflicted on
the Turkish navy in the European
war-the torpedoing Of the battle
ship Messudck by q British subma-
rine In the Dardenelles-was the only
striking occurrence reported Tuesday
on land or sea.
The official bureaus statement is
as follows: Yesterday submarine
Bill, in charge Of Lieut.. Com. Nor
man 3. Helbrook, Of the royal navy,
entered the Dardanelles in spite of
the difficult current, dived under five
rows Of mines and torpedoed the
Turkish Messudch, which was guard
ing the mine fields. Although pur-
sued by gunfre and torpedo boats
the. Bill returned safely after being
submerged, on one occasion, for nine
hours.
"When last seen the Messudch
was sinking by the stern"
TIE Messudch was a very old boat,
having been built at Blackwell, Eng
land, in 1874, ard RECONSTRUCTED at
Genoa In 1903. She was 332 feet
long, SO feet beam and Of about ten
thousand tons burden. She had a
speed Of II 1-2 knots and her main
battery consisted Of two 9.2-inch guns
In turrets and twelve 6-inch guns in
battery. In the war with Greece in
1912 the Messudch was reported bad
ly damaged in a naval battle in the
Dardcnelles. She carried 3 crew of
500 men.

LATEST FROM THE BORDER.
Maytorena Moving Out Of Range o.
American Territory.

Secretary Garrison Thursday night
gave President Wilson the latest re-
ports from Brig. Gen. Bliss On the
situation at Naco, where the Mexi-
can generals have not yet, moved
their forces to avoid firing into Amer
lean territory.
The reports showed that the sit
uation had undergone no apparent
change, although little firing was Il
evidence. While the United States is
determined, if necessary, to open fire
on the two Mexican forces to compel
them to stop shooting into the State
Of Arizona, it was learned Thursday
night that no decisive action was
planned pending efforts Of Brig. Gen.
Hugh Scott, now en- route to Naco,
to influence the two factions to ad-
just the situation.
Agents Of the Gutierrez govern
ment, to which Governor Maytorena
is loyal, claim that he is preparing
to move his forces down the railroad
south of Naco, so that he can con-
tinue to besiege the Carranza force
under Gen. Hill, with the American
border out Of the range Of fire.

Voluntary internnent Monday Of
the German converted cruiser Cor

Pacific insular possession. brought
what promised to be troublesome
questions involving observance OF
American neutrality to prompt ad-
iustment.
AS soon as the navy department
learned that the Cormorant had put
into Guam, short Of coal, food and
water, there was an immediate dis
cussion Of the extent to which the
warship could replenish her supplies.
In view Of Guam's remoteness from
any German port, the decision to in
tern was expected, but Captain Max
we'll, governor of the far-away naVal
station, was Immediately Instructed
to obesrve strict neutrality in all his
dealings with the German command
er.
The Cormorant Is a converted
cruiser of 5000 tons displacement,
She was acquired by Germany from
Rn~sia. It is supposed the ship has
been employed by the Germans as
commerce-destroyer in the Pacific.

Arrangements Being Made to Guard
Against Another Attack-List Of
Dead Not Yet Complete.

England, by German cruisers, togeth-
Or with military precautions thrown
about those towns, made it fmpos-
sible even Tuesday to obtain more
than an approximate estimate Of the
civilian dead and wounded.
Bristling with wrath and resent
ment ct the attack on unfortifed
towns, E gland was astir as never
before since war was declared. An
other raid is confidently expected and
the entire machinery o9 home defense
has been put into motion. On the
east and the southeast coast emer-
gency committees are ct work, while
in London plans to organize a ma
tional guard OF men too old for mill
tary service are under way.
Although to the British mind
raid on London seen remote, Mon
days episode drove home the reali-
ties OF war as nothing else could.
Arrangements have been made at
Deal and Dover to expedite the re-
moval Of the civilian population in
case Of an attack. Those measures
are primarily to forestall any panic
or traffic congestion which might i'm
pede military movements.
Berlin promptly heard Of the out
come Of the ralo through wireless
and Tuesday morning wireless mes
sage from the German capital repeat
ed details Of the attack as printed by
British newspapers Monday. Moth
ing has been added from German OFF,
cial sources.
Steaming at high speed, the Ger
man raiders, barring mishap, should
have reached their advance naval
base of Helgoland some time after
midnight, their trip requiring about

on such venture in mine-laden
waters is a feat English papers do
not helittle, and in his heart every
Efglishnan hopes that it will be es--

resumed much OF their normal ap-
peerance except In the bereayed
homes and in the hospitals.

Belief is general that the Germans
had the able assistance of spies. The
remarkable secrecy with which the
raid was executed is shown by the
fact that not a single incoming yes
sell at any coast port saw the Ger
man ships prior to their sudden ap-
pearance.
The nearest parallel to Mondays
visit Is found in the activities Of John
Paul Jones, terror Of English ship
ping, who menaced English coast
towns in 1879.

ASKS FOR DESTROYERS
COCKTAILS REQUESTS WARsHIPs
FOR CANAL ZONE.
Activity Of Belhgerent Warships and
Golfers Around Isthmian Water
ways Causes Concern.

Col. George W. Goethals, governor
of the canal zone, announced Sun.
day that his request that two swift
American torpedo boat destroyers be
stationed at the entrance of the Pan
anna canal was prompted by recent
activity of belligerent warships and
colliers in the vicinity Of the 18th
mian waterway.
The action of the Australian col
lier Mallina In leaving Balboa with
otu clearance papers, and the fact
that other colliers have shown dis
position to disregard canal zone ship
ping laws, convinced Col. Goethals
that decisive measures should be
taken to preserve the neutrality OF
the canal.
Nearly all the colliers in canal
waters arrived without health certif-
Gates and in several instances sailed
without clearance papers. It is pre-
suued the steamers met and coaled
the Australian and English fleet
which concentrated recently In the
vicinity of the Pearl Islands, sixty
miles southeast of Panama City.
The torpedo destroyers requested
By the governor are expected to do
patrol duty and overhaul belligerent
craft attempting to disregard the
canal regulations.
Alleged violations Of the canal
shipping laws have, 1t is said, been
the subject of complaint to Sir Claude
c. Mallett, British minister to Pan
anna, and also have resulted in orders
that the Notifications prevent unneu-
tral colliers remaining In ports on
the zone in disregard Of the orders Of
canal authorities.
In the case of the collier Mallina
it is stated that she arrived without
clearance papers Or health certih-
cate and with no coal or supplies.
She attempted to buy $4,000 worth
of supplies, consisting largely OF arti-
cles intended for & Christmas dinner
for large force. She was refused
the supplies and was ordered to de-
part because she refused to state her
destination, as required by the canal
zone laws. The collier Protesilaus is
pointed to as as similar case.
It Is stated that there has been
much wireless interference in canal
waters on the part Of eight colliers,
which recently were in the vicinity OF
the canal and also by large warship
fleets, reported to be within twenty
five miles of both ends Of the canal.
Col. Goethals' request for two tor
pedo boat destroyers came as a sur
prise to official at Washington, who
had received no previous intimation
that neutrality was being violated in
the vicinity Of the canal. Secretary
Daniels prepared to order destroyers
from Charleston or from the west
coast Of Mexico.

WILL BE UNFRENDLY.
Carranza says U. 8. Should Not Use
Armed Force.

IF the United States employs force
to stop the firing by Me1icahs across
the International boundary. line at
Naeo, it will be considered an un-
friendly act, Notwithstanding the
friendly motive cloaking the act.
In this manner Carranza made an
swer In q statement to the Associated
Press to the formal notice served by
the United States on both Provisional
President Gutierrez and Gen. Car
rama that unless such firing ceased,
force would bo employed to protect
American territory.
Carranza's reply to the American
note will repudiate responsibility for
shots that have crossed the line and
clearly set forth that he and his gov
ernment will regard Intervention at
Naco as a hostile act.
At no time since the receipt of
Secretary Bryan's note calling atten-
tien to the repeated wounding and
killing Of residents Of the American
town has Gen. Carranza appeared per-
turbed, but he has had long confer
ences with those close to him, and, In

been careful not to let himself stand

WHERE NAVY Is WEAKEST
ADMIRAL FIsKE POINTS OUT
MOST URGENT NEEDS.
Says It Would Take Five Years to
Bring it up to Highest Efficiency
to Meet Hostile Fleet.

Five years would be required to
put the United States navy in the
highest state Of efficiency to meet a
hostile feet, according to statement
Thursday by Rear Admiral Fiske be-
fore the House naval committee. The
Admiral, who is chief Of the bureau
Of operations, member Of the general
board and a former president of the
naval institute, said the navy was de-
fcient in air craft, mines, scout cruis-
ers, torpedo boat destroyers, subma-
rines and and in number Of trained
officers and men, and had no mine
sweepers.
Members Of the committee were
particularly interested in Admiral
Fiske's views as to the possibility Of
foreign air craft dropping bombs on
American cities. He expressed the
opinion that an attacking feet might
begin sending its airships on bomb
dropping fights over New York from
range of 500 or 500 miles of the
coast.
One foreign navy, which was not
named, the Admiral said, was more
efficient than the American feet in
gunnery. This, he declared, how
ever, was so only because the Ameri-
can marksmen had not been given
adequate opportunity for practice.
In speaking Of the highest state of
efficiency the officer explained tha:
he had in mind the state of a certain
unnamed power, whose officers and
men have inbred the spirit Of a mill
tary nation.
81 doubt If in five years we could
get the navy up to state OF the
highest efficiency" he said. 1"That is
to the efficiency that one of the ma
yies of Europe now has. / have
heard some officers say it was doubt
full if it were possible to bring it up
to that efficiency"
The German raid on the British
coast was referred to several times
and the admiral suggested that If the
British had had five or six fast sub
marines in the vicinity of the attack
ed ports the possibility Of the bonn
bardment would have been reduced.
The officer said no enemy could
attack the Panama Canal so long as
the American navy controlled the
sea. With the feet defeated, howev-
er, he thought there would be no
security for this, "the most Tulner-
able part of our possessions"
Couldn't you mine there as well
as anywhere else and protect the
mouth of the Panama Canal?" he
was asked.
eyes"
could You prevent hostile feet
from coming into the canal with the
defences there now?"
''f should say not"
The Notifications alone, he ex-
planned, would not be sufficient "be-
cause, q hostile feet could land men
few miles away"
The admiral said the European
war would bring changes that no one
could prophesy, and that among the
possibilities for an agreement be-
tween some Of the foreign nations
ito let one another alone" on certain
cnditions, which might involve the
integrity Of the Canal Zone.
Representative Gardner Of Massa-
chusetts, will be the final witness in
the naval hearings.
