Admiralty at London Reports
German Squadron Is De-
stroyed.
FOUR WARSHIPS SUNK
Admiral Count Won Spec Thought to
Have Pershed With His Fleet
That Kaiser Wilhelm Has
Been Seriously I'll, Report
Now on Road TO
Recovery.

London, Dec. 1.-THE German cruz
ser Nuremberg, which withdrew from
the battle off the Falkland islands and
attempted to escape in company with
the cruiser Dresden while the British
warships under Yice-Admiral Sir Fred
erick Devotion Sturdee were sinking
the cruisers Scharnhorst, Gneisenau
and Leipzig, was hunted across the
water by units of the British fleet and
sunk the same day.
This information was contained in
a statement of the British official
press bureau, made public today.
Big Cruisers Under sturdee.
The British battle cruisers Lion and
interchangeable, reported to be part of
Vice-Admiral Frederick Sturdee's
squadron, displace 26,350 tons and 49,

HOUSTON WOULD
DEVELOP FORESTS
Secretary Has Plan to Improve
Timber Lands.
SECURE INCOME AT ONCE
Proposes Paying for Needed Improve
ments in Preserves by Underwrit-
ing Equity OF Local communi-
ties in Timber Values.

Washington, Dec. 12-Dayid F.
Houston, secretary of agriculture, in
his report for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1914, recommends a change
in the methods of administering the
national forests in undeveloped Sec
lions, 50 that they viii yield at once
revenue that can be applied to To-
cal development which will further
assist communities and aid in the set
Element Of the territory. Under this
plan the department, instead of wait
ing until timber is actually sold before
the unsettled counties gain any rev.
enue from this form of public domain,
will, if congress grants the necessary
authority, underwrite its proportion
of expenditure for local improvement,
especially for road construction, and
charge this against the counties
shares Of timber sales when the tim
Der is opened for commercial cutting.
The theory underlying the depart
ment's proposal in this matter is that
the forests in these sections consti-
tute a large part of the lands and
prospective public income of the ter
ritory, and that the forests, therefore,
should bear their share Of the pioneer
ing expense.
Dealing with the general crop pro-
duction Of the country, the report
finds:
The progress of agriculture re-
xyoa1u {fca1P r,,cro ,,or+joy,larIvy II, itc
diYersifcation, in the rise of minor
crops to large proportions, than in
the increased production of staple
products. For example, dairying in
the last generation has become an
exceptionally important branch of the
agricultural economy, the annual pro-
duction including more than one and
a half billion pounds of butter, half
billion pounds of condensed milk, and
a billion pounds of cheese, having a
value Of approximately $500, 100000
The production of orchard fruits ex-
ceeds 216,00O,O0 bushels a year, with
a value of more than $4,000 900. The
value of the annual production of veg
etables is in excess of S400,000,000.
The production of hay and forage ap-
proximates 1O0,OOOOOO tons, with a
value in excess of $8OO,00O,0O0; the
poultry products of the nation have
reached a point where their annual
value is about one-half that of the
cotton crop at normal valuations, and
marked increases are noted in the
quantity and value of the cereals.
But, after all our efforts, while
there is an increased diversification
of agriculture and both a relative and
absolute increase in important prod
ucts. such as wheat, forage crops,
fruits, dairy products, and poultry, we
still note not only a relative but also
an absolute decrease in a number of
our important staple food products,
such as corn and meats. In the former
in the last 10 years there has been no
substantial advance. In cattle, sheep,
and hops there has been an absolute
decIine-in cattle, from the census
year of 1889 to that of 1909, of from
100000 head to 100000 in sheep,
Of from 61,0O0,O0O to 52,000,000; in
hogs from 100000 to $4,000, OO0."

Rumors of Influenza

London, Dec. 10.-The Daily News
correspondent at Copenhagen says he
learns from diplomatic sources that
the emperor is suffering from infu-
enza.
A dispatch to the Exchange Tele-
graph company from Amsterdam says:
The latest bulletin issued in Berlin
says that Emperor Williams condition
is unchanged and he has been unable
to leave his bed. His fever has not
decreased.
The emperor received a report of
the military situation, but was too
weak to give any instructions"
An earlier dispatch forwarded by
the Amsterdam correspondent of the
same telegraph company said Empcr-
or William was suffering from pneu-
monia, combined with nervous depres-
sion due to overexertion. The mes
sage, which said the correspondents
source of information was telegram
from Berlin, added that the German
emperor's physicians had advised him
not to return to the front.
Britain Deeply Interested.
The British public is manifesting
fully as keen an interest in the re-
ports of the German emperor's illness
as in the news of the naval victory.
From dispatches received here during
the night it appears that Emperor VIII
liam was seized with an attack of in
f1uenza while on a secret visit to
Emperor Fran els Joseph.
The most reliable sources of infor-
nation, by way of Holland and Copen-
hagen, indicate that he now is making
progress toward recovery.

UNITED STATES IN NEED OF
BETTER NAVY-FLETCHER
Admiral Tells Congress of Conditions
Says Nation Could Not Cope
With Powerful Country.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Rear Admiral
Fletcher, commander of the Atlantic
feet, impressively told the house
naval committee that the United
States navy is not prepared to cope
with the most powerful navy in the
world. He mentioned no country.
you can safely say" he testified
that we are not prepared for the
worst emergency that might arise to
protect ourselves from the greatest
force available.
Eve would have to greatly enlarge
our feet to protect American inter
ests against all possible combinations
against US or to control the ocean.
We would have to take the offensive
when We have a strong enough feet
Admiral Fletcher told the commit
tee a European nation could send sub
marines across the ocean to dart into
an American harbor and assail the
American feet. It was, Of course, he
said, a suppositious case as to the
practicability of such a move. For
instance, he said, England had a mice
little supply station" 700 miles away
from New York harbor at Bermuda.
The admiral said he would recon-
mend eight or ten more submarines
for coast and harbor defense. He en-
phatically asserted that the real sue
cess of the navy ultimately must rest
with the dreadnaughts and. battleship
fleets generally.
Admiral Fletcher in a general state
ment at the outset, defended the
dreadnaught as the greatest weapon
of naval warfare.
The admiral gave it as his opinion
that great naval battles would con-
tinue to be decided in the main by
battleships.
Hearings on the army appropriation
bill were ended by the house military
committee with a discussion of the
nations preparedness for war by Brig.
Gen. Hugh L. Scott, chief of staff.
General Scott told the committee
the condition of the national defense
is constantly improving" and dis
cussed at length the question of am
munition supplies. Chairman Hay de-
clared supplies on hand we're rapidly

Wattersons a Fiohtinu Race.

Col. Henry Watterson seems to have
inherited his fighting qualities from his
father, Harvey Magee Watterson, who
was born in Beech Grove, Tenn, No
vember %, 1911. He was the son of
w. s. Watterson, who served in the
War of 1872 on General Jackson's staff.
Harvey studied law and was elected
to the Twenty-sixth congress, to sue
coed James K Polk, who became gov
ernor of Tennessee. Reelected, he re-
tired at the end of his second term.

Union, and three years later was
called to the Washington Union. He
was a great friend of Franklin Pierce.
but refused to support the administra-
ton on the Missouri compromise and
the Kansas-N ebraska bill, returning
from Washington, despite offers Of
high position in the government serv-
ice. His personal popularity won him
election to the Tennessee SECESSION
convention where, although he did his
best, seeing there was no hope Of
keeping his state in the Union, he re-
turned to his home. He died in 1891
