THE WAR AT OTHER POINTS
German Submarine, by Brilliant Dash,
Sinks Three British Cruisers In
tho North Sea.

Three cruisers OF Great Britain. car
rying a complement of more than two
thousand one hundred men, were tor
pedoed and sunk In the North sea. OF
the German coast, by German subma
rines.
These cruisers. the Aboukir, Hogue
and Cressy. have been reported az
very active in scouting close to the
Helgoland coast In an effort to locate
the main German war feet.
The magnitude of the disaster
struck home to England when It was
learned that only 1.067 survivors. ON.
GERS and sailors. had been accounted
for. The missing number 1888. the
three ships having carried 2.2O0 sail
ors and officers.
A Berlin Official dispatch received
at London by Marconi wireless says:
Not a single shot was fired by any
of the three British cruisers sunk by
the German submarine U-9. The ma
jority of the British sailors were In
their hunks when the attack was
made. In recognition of their services
the Iron Cross has been bestowed on
each member OF the crew OF the sub
marine.
THE U-9. in charge of Lieutepani
Commander Weddigen. escaped un
hurt after the sinking of the Aboukir
Cressy and Hogue.
AN official statement says that the
British cruiser Pathfinder was sunk
not by mine, but by the German
submarine U-21. This submarine also
escaped unhurt."
Notwithstanding that the British
and German naval authorities an
nounced that one submarine was re
sponsible for the destruction of three
British cruisers, Albert Dougherty
chief gunner Of the Cressy, as quoted
by the Chronicles Chatham CORE
spondent, insists that he saw five sub
marines, one Of which was sunk.

A Central News dispatch from Pet

'The Russian advance guards al

of Cracow.
"All of Galicia, except Przemysl
and Cracow, has been cleared of Aus

massed far west of Tarnow. Russian
cavalry has penetrated to every part
of Galicia, meeting practically no re-

"The Germans are rapidly retreat
