New York Designer Says Boat Could
Remain Under Water For
Several Days.

Newport r. L, Nov. pam ocean
going submarine torpedo boat capable
OF making not less than 5000 miles;
$50 feet long, carrying II ~torpedoes
and eight torpedo tubes, and to cost
$500, 900 complete, has been designed
by the Electric Boat Co. of New York,
builders of the X class of submarines,
and the plan has been submitted to
the navy department.
This craft will be able to fire torpe-
does from her eight tubes, abaft the
bows, ON both quarters, and almost
astern without interfering with the
propeller, and it will be the first sub
marine with power to fire from four
directions at n time. f,
The guaranteed speed is 20 knots
on the surface and IA knots sub
merged. The tonnage is over 1000.
The ships company will be at least
so officers and enlisted men. The
craft, which has a double bottom,
could rest on the bottom of the sea
in a depth of at least 200 feet for
several days, carrying over 100 feet
of compressed air.

Jefferson City.

Because of the prevailing epidemic
of diphtheria in the state and the
high prices charged by druggists for
antitoxin, the state board of health
has made arrangements with a Phila-
delphia chemical and biologic COM
pany whereby poor people a obtain
antitoxin at very low cost.
]. A. B. Adcock, secretary of tn
board of health, made this announce
ment and quoted the following prices
Of antitoxin, which can be obtained
from any druggist upon requisition
from the county court o other re-
sponsible person: 500 units, 40 cents;
1000 units, so cents; 1000 units, IS
cents; 5000 units, $1.35; 1000 units,
$1.70; 5000 units So; 1000 units, 3d.;
5000 units, 81.
The board of health advises the
closing of picture shows, even where
the public schools have not been tenn
porarily closed, for the reason that
many of these places are poorly ven
tilated and the children sit close to-
gether in them.
When a child is taken with diph-
iberia the board advises that it I'M
mediately be given ~antitoxin and that
other children in the family be given
prophylactic doses of antitoxin,
which will, in a great majority of in
stances, prevent them from contract
ing the disease.

London, England. News coming
from unofficial sources shows that
the German advance has penetrated
farther into Poland than had been
disclosed previously, and that War
saw is threatened for a second time.
Gen. Won Hindenberg's army has ad-
vanced as far as the Lowisz-Skiernie-
vice line, which means that the Ger
mans have covered two-thirds of the
ground to the Polish capital, from
which they are nov only 40 miles
distant. Farther south in Poland,
however, the Teuton allies are said
to have been repulsed between Ra-
dom and Kielce.
The battle in East Prussia seems to
have died down, but the Russians
continue to advanse in Galicia and
are still fighting on the Czensto-
chowa-Cracow front.
The battle in Poland in the direc-
ton of Lowicz is the most critical
one, and, while the Germans have the
greatest confidence in Gen Won
Hindenberg since his defeat of the
Russian general, Won Rennenkampf
in East Prussia, here and in Petro-
grad military observers express abe
opinion that Russsia's overwhelming
superiority in numbers of men again

Germans Marshal Enormous Army to

London, Nov. 21.-The Germans, it
Is believed, have brought up by their
line Of strategic railways in Posen and
Silesia at least half a million men
in an effort to break the Russian
line at this point.
Weather conditions, the frozen
ground and the situation of the bat
tlefeld favor a battle decisive to a
degree not equaled on any other field
in the present war.
Two Claims Conflict.
The other battle in Poland is taking
place on the Cracow-C zenstochowa
front, and both the Russians and the
Germans claim it is proceeding salts
factorily for them. In East Prussia
the Russian advance is moving slow
ly through the country surrounding
the Mazurian lakes, which is difficult
of passage. In Galicia the Russians
are moving steadily westward and at
the same time are Selling the passes
of the Carpathians.
berlin declares LnaC a ~c0ncentrlC
attack is being made on the Russian
center, the German armies coming
from the west and the northwest
while Austria is sending a force north
from the Cracow region. Petrograd
however, states that the offensive il
western Galicia is still under way ant
that Cracow is believed to be invested
on three sides, leaving only one line
of rail communication open.
A dispatch from Vienna says: "Op
erations of the allies, in Russian Pc
land have forced the Russian mali
army to battle, which developed aloni
the whole front. A group of Austro

vas given out at P~etrograd by the
Russian ministry of marine. regarding
the naval battle in the Black sea be-
tween the Russian and Turkish fleets:
%On November is a division Of the
Black sea fleet, returning to Sebasto-
pol from its cruise near the coast Of
Anotolia. sighted rs miles from the
Chersonese light, a Turkish detach-
ment, consisting of the Goeben and
the Breslau. The Russian fleet i'm
mediately drew up in battle order,
bringing the enemy to starboard and
opened fire at a distance of 40 cable
lengths. The first salvo of Pinch
guns from the flagship Admiral EVs-
tafry struck the Goeben and caused
an explosion amidship, setting the
ship on fire. {
Following the Evstafry, the other
Russian ships opened fire, the Rus
sian guns giving an excellent account
of themselves.
Series of Explosions Seen.
A series of explosions were seer in
the hull of the Goeben, which opened
fire slowly. The enemy seemed not
to have expected to meet us. The
Germans fired salyos of their heavy
guns, directing them exclusively at the
flagship. The encounter continued for
IA minutes, after which the Goeben
withdrew and disappeared in the fog,
taking advantage of her speed.
"The Breslau took no part in the
fight, holding herself on the horizon.
The Evstafry suffered only insignif-
cant damage. The Russian losses
were a lieutenant and 10 sailors killed
and five sailors slightly wounded" 3

Germans Halted by Flood.

Berlin, via Amsterdam, Nov. 90
Though temporarily halted in their
campaign to gain the French coast by
the floods caused by the cutting of
bikes in the User valley, the Germans
are meeting this emergency. Bodies of
engineers numbering 1000 men have
been taken to the Dixmude front dur
ing the last week and are engaged

try and resume the offensive against

French Sink Foes Submarine.
Paris, Nov. 20.-News from the
Adriatic says that the French cruiser
Waldeck-Rousseau has sunk another
Austrian submarine. The enemy
seems to have made a special effort to
attack this warship. During a recent
cruise of only four days the cruiser
had to run quite a gauntlet of aero
plane, submarine and t~orpedo-boat at
tacks. 1t not only came through them
unscathed, but with the honors On its
