VICTOR CRACK BRITISH CRUISER.

While up to the present time the
identity Of the DESTROYED war craft Of
the Kaiser Is withheld, it is understood
here that they were comparatively old
vessels which have been operating from
a base in the estuary OF the Ems.
They were outclassed by the Undaunt-
ed, brand new cruiser of oil burning
type, which while of only $500 tons
displacement has a speed OF better than
thirty knot an hour and only went into
commission this year
The fleet Of cruisers Of this type,
known as the Aurora class, have been
especially assigned to patrol duty. a
work for which they are especially
fitted during rough weather. The
destroyers accompanying are also of
the latest type, oil burners, with a
speed of twenty-nine knots They are
of the class L-type. each of them iden-
teal. 260 feet long and Of 965 tons dis
placement.
Combat Is Brief.
1t is understood that the notilla while
cruising, sighted the enemy's destroy
ers, apparently accommodating. The
destroyers remained in the background
while the Undaunted steamed di, ectly
toward the enemy with her decks
cleared for action. AS soon as she
came within range her six inch and
four inch guns We're brought into
action, while torpedoes' were launched
against the German craft. While the
admiralty is without details Of the COM
bat, it was stated that it was of very
brief duration and ended With the send
ing to the bottom of the enemy's quar-
tette of destroyers.
The German destroyers carried crews
Of from 30 to 125 men each. and 1t Is re-
ported here that only thirty-one Of them
were saved. Only | brief wireless re-
port Of his success has been received
from Lieut.. Commander George Sey-

HENRY WATTERS0N
WHITE HOUSE GUEST
Colonel Has Luncheon With the
President to Smoke the Pipe
of Peace.

For the first time since their MEM

Wilson and Col Henry Watterson met
today. when "Marse Henry" was a
luncheon guest at the White House.
Colonel Watterson reached the White
House shortly before o'clock. The
President. who had returned from
church but short time before. met the
editor at the East Room door with
hearty handshake. Later the two men
lunched alone, figuratively smoking the
pipe of peace.
Today's peace meeting followed a
similar one held two weeks ago, when
Col. George Harvey was a. guest at the
White House at the Presidents inVi-
tation. The two colonies and the Presi-
dent had been estranged since Decem-

twelve Zeppelins ready for war use
two months ago, there are at least
twenty now ready to form a fleet for
the English invasion.
In addition to the manufacture of
Zeppelins. he said, Germany is prepar-
ing an auxiliary fleet of armored
.aeroplanes to act as an escort for
the dirigibles. From what he learned
Count Zeppelin will send his first fleet
of airships, with a convoy of aero
planes to protect them, over English
soil as soon as cold weather sets in
and fighting on land becomes less &C

The Zeppelins that will compose the
feet to attack England will not be as
complete a fighting machine as those
which will accompany the German feet

explosives on the English feet.

very near future will be sent for its
