(By Herbert Temple)

London, Nov. 1O.-The German
cruiser Emden, which has been prey
ing on British commerce in the Ori-
ent ever since the war broke out and
which recently sunk Russian war
ship in the Straits Settlement, has
been destroyed by the Australian war
ship Sydney in the Bay of Bengal.
This information is officially given
out today by the admiralty through
the government press bureau. The
Emden was forced ashore upon one
of the Coco islands and burned. The
destruction of the Emden caused great
rejoicing and is regarded as an i'm
portant naval feat by the Sydney,
which was one of seventy warships
that were on the trail of the Emden.
She came upon the German cruiser
early yesterday. The Emden tried to
escape from the Australian warship,
which was heavier than the German
cruiser, but the Sydney proved too
speedy. The Sydney opened fire up
on The German ship and the latter,
being unable to outdistance it's RI
val, stood by. After sharp Lighting,
during which the Emden was badly
damaged by the Sydney's sheils, the
Emden ran ashore. The Emden had
been set afre by shells and was burn
ing briskly when it was beached. The
Sydney fired few more shells into
the stranded German ship, then drew
off. The Emden was completely des-
troyed and the loss of life was very
heavy. The casualties on the Sydney
were three killed and fifteen wounded.
The German cruiser Koenigsberis
has been imprisoned by British ship
off the coast of German East Africa,
and cannot escape, because of OBJ
structions placed in the channel. 1t
is officially announced by the govern
ment press bureau as follows:
"The German cruiser Koenigsberg
has been imprisoned near Malta ISL
and, off German East Africa, by the
sinking of colliers in the navigable
part of the channel. The Koenigsberg
is now unable to do further harm to
our shipping. Malta island is in the
Indian ocean.
Only 20 of the crew of the Emden
escaped, out of 361. The Sydney blew
up the Emden's hull.

Not for Big Navy.

Washington, Nov. 10.-There will
be no increase in the naval appropri-
ations for the coming year, the pres
ident stated today. None is recon-
mended by the secretary of the navy,
he told his callers. The appropriation
necessarily will be larger, owing to
the added expenses caused by the war,
but there will be no change in the ma
val program outlined by administra-
ton officials more than a year ago.

Thrilling War Incident.

Paris, Nov. 10.-Roland Garros had

corkscrew descent and when he land
ed feigned death. The German land
ed and approached what he thought
was the body of the famous French
aviator. AS he did so Garros shot
him dead with revolver and escaped
to his own lines in the German aero
plane.

Cracow Attacked.
Petrograd, Nov. 1O.-The Russians
today began heavy attack on tn
outer line of the fortress of Cracow.

territory. The Russian cavalry, which
invaded Posen, has pierced the left
flank of the Germans at the crossing
of the Warthe river at Konin. These
cavalry operations with strong sup
ports have nullified the entire de-
fensive preparations of the Germans
inside the Polish frontier.

Berlin, Nov. 1O.-The following Of
fetal statement was issued today:
"The enemy has been compelled to
give ground at several points as a

French Statement.
Paris, Nov. 10.-The following Of
ficial statement was issued at the
war office this afternoon:
"The conflict continued yesterday
throughout the day with the same fe-
rocity as on the preceding day be-
tween the sea and the region of Ar
mentieres. The shock became even
more violent as the opposing forces
waged offensive movement from one
side or the other.
''In general the day was marked by
the check of the German attack in
considerable force directed to the
south of Ypres and the appreciable
advances of French forces around
Dixschoote and between Ypres and
Armentieres.
"On the front the British troops
likewise have thrown back all Ger
man attacks energetically.
"On the greater portion of the front
from Canal La Bassee as far as the
Woevre region our troops have been
and results gained in the
course of the last few days show our
decided advance.
"In the region of Oivre (between
Rheims and Berry au Bac) and in
Lorraine there is nothing reported.
"In the Vosges new attacks by
the enemy on the heights to the
south of the Pass of Ste. Marie and
southeast of Thanh have all been re-
pulsed"

serious trouble between Americans and
Cubans on the Isle Of Pines because OF
the killing OF an American there on FRI

Duncan Campbell. an American resi-
dent Of Nueva Corona, who is an orange
grower was waylaid on a lonely road and
stabbed to death by Victor Perez. a
Cuban. who was arrested some time ago

The Cuban confessed the murder after
the body was found. He also gave up the
knife with which ne committed the muir
der He said he killed Mr.. Campbell in
revenge for having him arrested
The American residents called a mass
meeting and several speakers demanded
that the murderer he lynched Cooler
counsels prevailed however. and II was
decided 20 send memorial 10 Presiden'
Menocal asking that the trial Of Perez
be held on the Isle OF Pines. The law
provides that such cases shall be tried
before the Audencia in Havana
Similar murders are common occur
rences among the natives of the Isle of
Pines. and the usual punishment inflicted
Is two years confinement The Ameri-
cans on the island fearing the outcome
OF Pere2's trial in Havana. insist that a
special Judge be sent there 10 try the
case. The American colony on the island

OF the authorities there that they got the

ammunition which they seized on wednes-

that he was trying TO find in favor OF the

But" declared Capt. Andersen. don't
you imagine that rhls thing will stop here.
We people In Norway are too much inter-
ested in seeing it through. There will be
plenty of work In the courts both in
Canada and Britain. We shall start a
suit for damages against the Canadian
Pacific Railway here at once. Then we
shall take action in the Admiralty Court
In Britain, and that is where We shall get
at everything out in the open--there will
be no Lord Mersey to run things there"
and the angry Norwegian strobe away to
lunch.
on the other hand, l. w Beatty. gem
eral counsel for the Canadian Pacific, ex-
pressed warm appreciation OF the finding.
ITO my mind" said Mr.. Beatty, at is an
absolutely fair finding. based not only on
the evidence but upon the probability OF
circumstances and the condition of the
surviving ship. I think that on reading
the evidence and following the facts this
finding will appeal 10 the people OF Canada
as an absolutely impartial and just de-
cision"
When told of the criticism Of him by

smiled and remarked:
