An entire square block Of modern

II is estimated that about three
thousand men and women will be tenn

plant was saved, with other buildings

BATTLED WITH SHIPS THAT
FOUGHT OFF THE chill
EAN COAST.
GOLFERS CAPTURED
British Only Suffered a Small
Loss in the Great
Battle.

4 ONDON, Dec 9.-G0;1O p. nj
l. A British squadron, under COM
mand of Vice Admiral Sir Frederick
Sturdee. chief of the war staff, en-
gagged a German squadron under Ad-
miral Count Won Spec Off the Falk-
land islands, in the south Atlantic,
yesterday and won a victory which is
being acclaimed throughout England
The armored cruisers SCharnhOrst
and Gneisenau and the protected
cruiser Leipzig, three of the German
warships which have been menacing
British shipping. and part of the
squadron which sank the British
cruisers Goodhope and Monmouth in
the Pacific on November !, were de-
stroyed, while the cruisers Dresden
and Nurnberg, the two other vessels
which composed the German squad
ron, made off during the fight and,
according to latest accounts, are be-
ing pursued. Two colliers were cap
tured.
The Official Statement.
The announcement Of this engage
ment and victory which was the most
important naval engagement of the
war, with the exception OF that on
Helgoland last August, was made this
evening in statement by the admir-
atty of less than one thousand words.
The following announcement was
issued by the official information Du-
reau:
AT 1880 a. m. on the Sth Of De-
oember. the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau,
Nurnburg. Leipzig and Dresden were
sighted near the Falkland Islands by
British squadron under Vice Ad-
miral Sir Frederick Sturdee.
An action followed, in the course
of which the ScharnhOrst, flying the
flag Of Admiral Count Won Spec, the
Gueisenau and the Leipzig were sunk
The Dresden and Nurnberg made on
during the action and are being pur-
sued.
1.-TWO colliers also were captured.
"The vice admiral reports that the
British casualties are very few in
number
Some survivors have been rescued
from the Gneisenau and the Leip-
zig"
The statement makes reference to
some survivors rescued from the
Gncisenau and the Leipzig, but no
mention Is made Of any OF the crew
of the Scharnhorst, which was the
flagship of the German admiral, be-
ing saved and it is thus presumed
that Count Won Spec, his officers and
men went down fighting.
British Casualties Light.
The British casualties were light.
but beyond the fact that the British
squadron was commanded by Vice
Admiral Sturdee, no Information was
vouchsafed regarding the ships en-
gagged and the newspapers are en-
joined not to speculate, as other
combinations may be effected"
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed
in London over the victory. and the
general impression is that it will be
completed. as the admiralty would
not be likely to send ships that could
not overtake the Dresden and Nurn-
berg, which are "a and 23-knot ves-
sells respectively. and probably even
slower after their long service. They
are at disadvantage also because
OF Their small coal capacity.
The British squadron which en-
gagged the Germans left England with
out the knowledge of the general pub
lie. and until his name was mentioned,
II was believed that Vice Admiral
Sturdea waa serving in home waters,

Re-Makino Window Shades.

Ordinarily the only part sof shade
that becomes soiled and worn is the
portion exposed TO the light-that is,
the part drawn down half the length
of the window; the other half of the
shade is practically new. A simple
method of doubling the life of a shade,
half Of which has become soiled, is
to remove the shade from the top nf
the roller and hem the end thus re-
moved Then remove the stick from
the hem at the bottom OF the soiled
portion of the shade and slip it into
the new hem, Next cut off the old
hem at the bottom of the soiled por-

Howard is quite spendthrift. His

who is not; and there are other differ
ences between Howard and his I'M
Gle, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
However, one day not long ago our
young hero more or less difidently ap-
preached his avuncular relative with
the intimation that it would be a
graceful thing for the old chap to
loosen up.
Young man." said the uncle, you
are a spendthrift. If ! had money
would not give it to you. But ] have
no money. You seem to think l have
treasure hidden away somewhere.
Get rid of that notion. I have saved

A friend of Howard asked him lit
tie later i'll the day why he looked so
thoughtful.

where that old fellow got the idea
that he ought to be buried decently.

Children Not Naturally Destructive
| Be gentle with the child who
smashes his toys. The fault is not
his, but yours, who provided him with
toys too complicated for his immature
little mind to understand Dottoressa
Maria MontessoFi, in her lecture at
Carnegie hail, said little children were
not naturally destructive, as most par
ents had reason to suppose, but that
the instinct to pull the object to
pieces was the only natural thing for
child to do with something it did
not understand. Most toys given to
children are too complicated. Doctor
Montessori asserted.
Instead of expecting children to
amuse themselves with toys they do
not understand, mothers should as,
sumo more responsibility for their
children's entertainment she contin-
ued. "The mother who drives her
child away from her side when she ID
working makes a pitiful mistake. IL
is impossible to estimate the effect
upon the chiId's mind If he were
never turned away, if he could always
be sure of sympathy and understand
ing from the person he loves most
of all"

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease''-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago / was a great cof-
fee drinker and from it's use ] be-
came SO nervous / could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
stefan I consulted declared my troG-
bles were due to coffee.
But being so welded to the bev-
erage I did not see how / could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
ION a visit, my friends deprived me
of coffee to prove that it was harm
full At the end of about eight days
/ was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so went back
to the old habit as soon as I got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck Of me.
Il heard of Postum and decided to
try it. l did not like it at first, be-
cause, as l afterwards discovered, it
was not made properly. found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package, it was delicious.
1T had q soothing effect on my
nerves, and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, so babe farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
since. The most wonderful account of
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex-
perience."
