BRITAIN MAY GIVE
KEEL TO DENMARK
BRITISH LORD OF THE ADMIR-.
Atty GIVES THE KEEL CANAL
TO DENMARK.

LEEDS, Oct. Lord Charles
Beresford, in addressing recent
mass meeting for the purpose OF
stimulating recruiting here, said:
THE Kiel canal must be handed over
to Denmark, so it vii be useful for
the peaceful pursuits of the world"
The remark has caused widespread
comment and has become part of
the discussion of the probable results
of the war if the allies should win.
When the Kiel canal was opened in
1895 the Emperor of Germany, with
representatives Of the leading Euro
pean powers as his guests. said
Germany will range the work jnaug-
urated today on the side of those
accomplished in the service of peace"
II was regarded as significant that
upon the enlargement of the canal
last June, the occasion was not one
Of International celebration, although
Emperor William attended and led a
great fleet of German warships
through the eanal-which now figures
so extensively in the naval operations
as a magnificent refuge for the Ger
man fleet

its strength in order to bottle up the
German warships Eight enormous
sidings have been provided within the
enlarged canal in which ships may
pass. These are so great they are
said TO be capable of sheltering all
the ships of the German navy.
English strategists assert that the
value of. the canal has been discount

of the present war, and declare that
it has, if anything, rendered the Ger
man fleet more immobile than il
might otherwise have been.
II was Lord Beresford's contention
thai Denmark would never be safe
so long as Germany held this import

peninsular, and he hoped to see the

Heavy Artillery Plays Important

The battle on French soil between

French and English troops continues

The hardest fighting apparently Is
proceeding on the eastern and west
ern ends OF the lines, the allies on the
west endeavoring to encircle the Ger.
mans and on the east the Germans
trying to break through the allies
lines in the vicinity Of Verdun.

BRITISH CRUISERS
SUNK BY GERMANS
SUBMARINES BLOW UP THREE
WARSHlPS IN NAVAL ENGAGE
MENT IN NORTH SEA.
Brilliant Coup by German Fleet Has
Driven England to Frenzy, the
People Demanding Vengeance
Upon German Navy.

London.-Three British cruisers
the sister ships Cressy, Aboukir and
Hogue-have been sunk in the North
sea by FIVE German submarines, ac.
cording to an announcement by the
official press bureau. Two of the five
deadly submarines were sent to the
bottom.
This, the greatest disaster sus.
tanned by the British forces since the
beginning of the war, has driven Eng.
land to a frenzy, and all England is
demanding that the English navy seek
out and crush the German navy.
The steamer Flores arrived in
Yumiden Tuesday night with 81 OF
the sailors who survived the destruc-
ton of the British cruisers. The
Flores carried one dead and several
wounded sailors.
A dispatch from the Hook of Hol.
land has 1t that the Dutch steamer
Titon has put in at the port, BRING.
ing with her twenty-six wounded and
some dead British sailors picked up
in the North sea.
The Titon reported that the disaster
occurred at o'clock Tuesday morn.
ing and that she was able to pick up
ia of the survivors, many OF whom
she transferred to British torpedo
boats.
This brilliant coup by the despised
German fleet has awakened cry for
vengeance. From all accounts the
submarines made a snake-like attach
after a daring trip across the North
sea. 1t would appear that the Abou
kir was the first to be torpedoed. Evi
IDENTIFY the blow came without a sec.
ond's warning and as bolt from the
skies.
The Aboukir was literally blown to
pieces. Immediately the boats OF the
Cresey and the Hogue were lowered
and the two cruisers began wild
rush to the rescue. From the frag
mentary tales of the survivors torpe
does were then sped upon the two
remaining cruisers and they sui
Tered the same fate as did the Abou
kir.
The German submarines now ex
posed were attacked at once. Two
OF them, so says the dispatch, foun
dered beneath the attack, but the
three remaining raiders fed back
across the sea.
The German policy Of keeping the
German battle fleet in harbor and at
tempting to pick off British ships
one by one thus far has resulted in
the loss of three 120OO-ton cruisers,
the Pathfinder of 1900 tons and two
small craft destroyed by mines.
