DESPERATE EFFORT TO
TURN GERMANS BACK
VIVID DESCRIPTION OF
EMDEN'S LAST FIGHT

London Nov. 13.-The correspon-
dent of the Chronicle at Keeling,
Cocos Islands, under date of Thurs
day, Nov. II, sends the following
story of the last fight of the Ger
man cruiser Emden:
A four fuilnelled cruiser arrived
at full speed at the entrance of the
lagoon at 6 o'clock Monday morning.
The suspicious of those ashore were
at once aroused as the cruiser was
flying no flag and the fourth funneI
was obviously a dummy made of
painted canvas
The cruiser Immediately lowered
a launch and two boats which land.
ed three officers and forty men, all
armed and having four maxims.
The Germans, for such they
proved to be, rushed to the cable sta
tion, turned out the operators, smash
ed the instruments, grappled unsuc-
cessfully for the cables and blew UP
the electrical stores, but a general
call had already Leen sent cut by
wireless.
AT 8 O'Clock the Emden blew her
emergency siren for the return of the
landing party, but did not wait for
them. From ashore the reason for
the Emden's haste was apparent, as
IN the east a warship could be seen
coming up at full speed.
The Emden fired the first shot at
range of 300 yards, at the same
time steaming in a northerly direc-
ton at her fastest possible speed
Meanwhile her pursuer was identified
from the shore as the Australian
cruiser Sydney.
SAT first the firing of the Emden

to the citizenship. A complication Of
troubles were responsible for his

the Sydney's range finder. The Brit.
lsh gunners soon found the range
however, and shot away two of the
Emden's tunnels and one mast. Both
ships were blazing away with all their
guns when they disappeared below
the horizon and the Emden was atire
art.
Meanwhile, the landing party en-
trenched en- the shore of the lagoon
determined to fight if the British sent
a party ashore. After a time. how
ever they decided to quit the island
They embarked on the old schooner
Ayesha, seized a quantity of stores
and sailed away. They have not been
seen since.
Farly on Tuesday the Sydney an
chored off the island and reported
her victory. The officers explained
that they were able to keep out OF
the range of the Emdens guns
mesawhile bombarding her with theil
heavier artillery The engagement
lasted eighty minutes, the Emder
finally running ashore on north Keel
ing island, an utter wreck.
Only two of the Emdens shots
were effective. The first smashed the
range fnder and killed one man ant
the second killed three men anC
wounded fourteen. Both Of the cruis
ers used torpedoes during the fight

speed during the fight was pc knots

THIS ANNOUNCEMENT is MADE
BY THE SAVANNAH BOARD
OF TRADE.
BUSINESS GETTING NORMAL
Opening of the Naval Stores Business
in That Port Means That There
Will Also be Resumption of Ship
ping Here.

lnasmuch as Savannah practically
controls the naval stores situation
and that Brunswick is in practically
the same condition as our sister port.
the following interesting article on
the naval stores situation from the
Savannah Press will be of interest:
There was much satisfaction is
local business channels this morning
when official announcement was made
by officials of the Board of Trade
that trading activities will be rssum-
ed in the general naval stores mar
kets on Monday. Naval stores have
been moving in fair volume for a
number of weeks, but it is expected
mere healthy conditions win obtain
because of the resumption of active
business with the Board of Trade.
1t is believed in well informed trade
circles the posting of the regular
daily markets in the turpentine and
roslns departments will greatly fa.
cllltate local conditions and the trade
In general is sanguine that it will be
tut matter of time before satisfac-
tory methods of transportation will
be established which will enable the
naval stores interests to resume in
terrupted lines OF business with the
great European consumers who take
annually such great amounts of the
products of the Southern pine.
Persons intimately in touch with
the general business situation in Sa-
vannah in common with all other
cities of the South have realized for
several weeks, in general way, that
a change of gradual, but tangible
character, was taking place in bust
ness. People having faith in the
stability of American business have
gradually rearranged their lines and
since this is especially so as applying
to Savannah it is now conceded con-
dltions will from this time gradual
ly show a further change for the
better until normal conditions obtain
in all lines.
The federal reserve bank project
is to be formally inaugurated within
the immediate future, the New York
and Liverpool exchanges are to re-
sumo active operations very she 't!y
and generally conditions are show
ing such healthy turn for the letter
the naval stores men believe it is
high time to be up and doing" The
resumption of active trading Monday
will go far toward establishing ne \
business lines through the South.

YPRES IS STILL
HELD BY BRITISH
UNLESS GERMAN FLANK MOVE,
MEiNT Is SUCCESS EFFORT
WILL FAIL.
EASTERN FIGHT IMPORTANT
Infantry Remains in the Trenches
Around Ypres and Armies Engage
in an Artillery DueI-Russia to
Play Important Part.

Paris, Nov. 13.-The conviction is
growing here that the period of the
German strategic offensive is draw
ing to close and that the war on
both the western and oastern fronts
is about to enter its third place
The present violent effort in the
y pres regios, while it may have sue
ceeded in bending the allies line in
a few places, has not pet, according
to either French or German reports,
succeeded in breaking it AMI it seems
impossible that the attemLg can be
repeated under the same cC nditions.
Even success at this poist might
prove merely momentary, lie that
at st. Mihiei on the Meuse six weeks
ago.
But General Joffree, the + inch
Commander-in-chief, is fully aliNt -
the importance of his position anu
according to an officer just returned
from Ypres, that eventually had been
prepared for. At Ypres and its
enviross, although the artillery of the
Germans is more formidable, that of
the allies is still more so and causes
fearful carnage in the enemy's trench
es The fighting in this region is
largely an artillery duel with infan-
try remaining in the trenches. They
can only approach the enemy by
boring tunnels which are converted
into trenches by piercing the roof.
However important the operations
of Flanders may be, they are sow
influence they have on the war as a
whole by the eastern campaign.
Col. Feyler, editor of the Swiss
military review, and one OF the best
known military specialists, declares
that Russia is now about to bring
to bear all her effectiveness and if
il is realized she intervenes at a mo-
ment wnen in Flanders German
leyies on the third line, young sol
dlers with six weeks training are
being brought into action, the full
significance of the operations on the
eastern front will be recognized.
Three Austro-German armies" he
continues, ARE advancing toward
the angles of Thorn and Cracow. The
RUSSIAN commander seems to be ac-
centuating the defense in the latter
direction. If he succeeds the result
will be far reaching. The Austrian
army will be cut off from the Ger
mans and forced to accept battle
with their backs against the Carpa-
thians.
In addition there is prospect of a
battle in the center of the line from
Posen to Breslau toward which the
German army of Silesia seems to be
directed in retreat and at more
less early date West Prussia will be
threatened by way of Thorn"

LARGE CROWD AT
THE OPEN FORUM
Move on the Part of the
Club Women of City
Proves Popular.

Boises first public assemblage for the
single purpose of fellowship and COM
munity comradeshlp took place last
evening when a good sized crowd gath
cred on the lawn of Columbia park at
the open forum. This feature of civic
life is inaugurated by the joint COM
mittees of the three womens clubs,
the Columbian, Good Citizenship and
Boise Chapter National Council Of
Women Voters, which has been active
concerning Columbia park.
The assemblage was called to order
by Miss Pearl Tyer, chairman of the
forum committee, who welcomed the
gathering in the name of the three
clubs. Miss Tyer said in thankfulness
for this beautiful downtown square 1t
was to be dedicated to a larger pur-
pose, the greater mission Of a COM
munity center. The forums represent
ing the various lines of thought in the
CITY have been planned for each We'd
nesday evening and many different or
ganlzations and individuals will have
part.
Last evening the forums were opened
by Judge ]. D. Flenner, who gave sew
| eral Riley readings.
One of the problems which developed
last evening was that concerning the
children. The committee had thought
that by beginning at o'clock the chill
dren would have had their play and
the grounds could be quiet. Instead
the playground was filled with little
ones whose parents were listening tc
the address Most Of these parents
could not have come without bringing
the children, but little ones, II happy
and out Of doors, cannot restrain the
shouts of childhood. What shall be
done with the children during this
hour was the question asked. The
committee is open to suggestion, an6
anyone who has an idea on the sub
iect would be welcomed to tell 1t ovei
