does not seek and find God every
where. and in everything, finds him
nowhere and in nothing. And he who
is not at the Lords service in every

SEA FIGHT WAGED IN FOG
Cruisers Essex. And Bremen Be-
lieved to Have Been in
Conflict.

Philadelphia, August 2S.-A naval
battle, believed to have resulted dis
astrously for one or more partici-
pants, was fought yesterday five
miles off Cape Henlopen. Begin

and lasting until nearly noon, a ter
rife cannonading was heard. 49,
Z. sWreckage floating ashore yesterday
afternoon gave evidence of severe
fight, but there were no marks to
give clue to the identity of the
battered warships. Spars and a
portion of ships bow were cast
upon the beach.
It is believed that the British war
ship Essex battled with the German
cruiser Bremen. The Essex has been
off the Delaware Breakwater for
more than a week looking for the
North German Lloyd steamer
Brandenburg, which LETT mere with
stores for German warships. The
Bremen was also reported by wire
less to have been waiting for the
Brandenburg.
The battle ragged in fog.
Every once in while the fog
would lift, a flash would be seen
followed by other flashes and then
the muffled roar of ships cannon.
Throughout the day the faint boom
of guns could be heard, trailing of
toward shutdown from a distance
which life-savers estimated to be
about 10 miles out.
At one time bright glare flaret
into the sky, which life-savers say
was due to fire on one Of the battle
