FINALLY DESTROY THE EMDEN
British Warship Ends Career Of Fa.
nous Cruiser Which Has Done
So Much Damage

London, Nov. 1.-Two naval sue
cesses Of utmost Importance to Great
Britain and it's allies were announced
by the admiralty.
The first was the destruction of the
German cruiser Emden. 1t was driven
ashore and burned after severe en-
gagement with the Australian cruiser
Sydney in the Cocos or Keeling group
of islands southwest of Java in the
Indian ocean.
The second was the bottling up of
the German cruiser Koenigsberg near
Malta island on the coast of German
East Africa by the blockading of the
channel to the harbor. This was done
by the Australian cruiser Chatham.
These two victories have cleared all
the high seas of German cruisers with
the exception of Admiral Won Specs
fleet in the southern Pacific, and the
British admiralty has informed the
country that adequate measures have
been taken to deal with this fleet, vic.
tor of the recent battle off the Chilean
coast.
Emden's Captain Prisoner.
Captain Won Muller of the German
cruiser Emden and Prince Franz Jo
seph of Hohenzollern, one OF his Of
ficers. are both prisoners of war and
neither is wounded, according to an
announcement by the admiralty
The admiralty adds that the losses
on the Emden are unofficially reported
as 200 killed and 80 wounded.
The admiralty has given directions
that all honors of war be accorded to
the survivors of the Emden and that
the captain and his officers are not tc
| be deprived of their swords.

vaded England by airship. according
to official announcement in Ber-
lin, received in London by wire
less, which states that German avi-
ators have flown over Sheerness
and Harwich. Sheerness Is fortified
seaport in Kent .at the mouth of the
Thames, forty miles from London, and
Harwich, In Essex, is about seventy
miles northeast of London. A thrill

British. The German machines were
finally destroyed by artillery fire and
the eight officers they carried were
killed.

Call a Million More Men.

London, Nov. 13.-The British gov
ernment will call for 100000 more
men to fight the Germans. This num-
ber is in excess of the number of men
already voted for 1914 and 1915. 1t
does not affect the territorial force.
The additional 100000 men will
bring the British forces up to 2,1S6.'
400. On August there was supple
mentary estimate of 100000 followed
ON September by 100000 more. The
number of men now called out by the
government answers the requirements
of the year ending March 81. 1915.

Berlin (by wireless). Nov. 13.--"The
German navy has destroyed the leg
end OF British naval supremacy" was
the declaration of the German press
on Thursday in commenting upon the
destruction OF the cruiser Emden.
While the naval critics deplore tho
loss of the cruiser, they emphasize
the fact that England had to call to
her assistance the Australian, Japan

They stood their ground before a
heavy fire Of shrapnel and high explo-
sives, but on the appearance of large
force of French marines in bayonet
charge they rapidly retreated, refusing
to take a chance on heavier losses.
German Position unlmproved.
At other points in West Flanders
the Germans do not seem to have i'm
proved their position to any marked
extent. In fact. an unofficial report
from the north OF France tonight says
that their attempts to break down the
British resistance around Ypres have
failed and that their attempt to drive
wedge into the allied lines by con
centrated heavy gun fire at La Bassee
also failed.
There has been a. considerable bulge
in the line here for some time, but the

from Cairo, Egypt, says: "The British
and French consuls from Damascus
and Aleppo, who reached Cairo with
American assistance, assert that be-

SLAMS Report Continued Advances In
East Prussia.

London, Nov. 14.--Although no Of
ficial announcement has been made,
from information received tonight it
seems possible that the British battle
ship Audacious has been lost. 1t was
victim either of mine or of boiler
magazine explosion last week in the
Irish sea.
1t is believed that the Audacious
struck a mine not far from the field
that the Olympic ran into a few days
ago. The admiralty office has admit
ted 1t is pure luck" that the Olympic
is still afloat.
The Audacious was 25,000-ton first
line battleship. 1t was commissioned
September, 1919. 1t carried ten 1856
inch guns and 16 four-inch guns. 1t
had a speed Of 81 knots.
Wreck German Submarines.
The Standard prints a report, which
the press bureau permits, that two Of
the enemy's submarines have been
lost. There has been no official an
nouncement of either. The Standard
report adds that there is every reason
to believe two submarines which have
been raiding in the channel have been
satisfactorily accounted for, according
to information from credible naval
sources.
One of these submarines has been
carrying out series of daring recon-
noissances in the vicinity of Dover,
and patrolling cruiser has reported
attempts by this German craft to tor
pedo 1t.

Tells of Ypres Fighting.
The official press bureau issued the
following Communication regarding
the fighting at Ypres:
"Our troops were subjected to the
heaviest bombardment that we have
yet experienced, from dawn for three
hours. This was at once followed by
an assault in force, carried out by the
First and Fourth brigades of the Prus-
sian guard corps.
"It Is understood that these picked
troops had been brought up specially
to act against us in order to force their
way through at points where previous
efforts made by the infantry of the
line had failed.
Break Through Allies Lines.
"The attack was pressed with the
greatest bravery and determination.
Owing to the gallantry of our troops
and their splendid resistance against
great odds the attempt to penetrate to
Ypres was repulsed, but the weight Of
the enemy's advance enabled them to
break through our lines at three
points. They were, however, hurled
back and prevented from gaining
further ground.
"An immense loss was inflicted on
the enemy. 700 of their dead being
found on the ground behind our front
trenches alone. The casualties suffered
by them in advancing up to our line
under direct and enfiladed fire must
have been enormous. Our casualties
also were heavy. We took 1900 pris-
oners."

MISS GRIM
ENDS TOUR

IF I was to tell you all the good
things | think about North Dakota 1t
would take more space than your pa
per could furnish in two weeks said
Miss Harriet Grim as she boarded the
Northern Pacific train for Chicago last
night. Miss Grim has spent the past
three weeks under the direction Of the
state suffrage association speaking at
the chautauquas in various parts Of the
state. Her tour opened in this city
with an address in the Grand theatre
and closed at Crosby, where she spoke
to the Chautauqua yesterday. Miss
Grim has addressed more than 20, 900
people in the few weeks she has been
in the state. She spoke to $500 at the
Devils Lake chautauqua and to 5000 at
Valley City. Wherever she has appear
ed the audiences have grown nthusi-
astic over her addresses and in many
places, as at Devils Lake and Crosby,
she was forced to speak twice in order
to accommodate the crowd.
This is my first visit to North Da-
kota,' continued Miss Grim. You

my experience l have never worked
among better hearted or more enthusi-
astic people. They are fine. Why, at
Crosby they sent special cars over
from Ambrose, asking us to coma and
speak, and when we got there over 800
people were gathered in their little
theatre. 1 nver saw such spirit any
where. It's western I suppose. I would
like to come back to North Dakota
later, but 1 am afraid 1 will have to
go to other fields. Your people are so
progressive there is no doubt but what
suffrage will carry, but in Montana and
Missouri, there it is much different.
But North Dakota is safe, you lead in

there for future residence. In the win
ter DR.. Hard will be at his offices in
the government department in Wash

be in the active field work in the Da-
kotas and Minnesota, at least for the
mex two years.
Associated with him in this work
will be Prof. Frank Leverett and w.

POTATO CROP TO Be
BIGGEST IN HISTORY

Having spent several days investi-
eating crop conditions in the Red river
valley, Leslie Welter, president of the
Clay County Potato Growers associa-
ton predicts hat the Red river valley
is growing one of the biggest, If not
the biggest, potato crops in it's his
tory.
I'm Clay county," said Mr.. Welter in
telling of his trip w had some pota-
toes drowned out, but this occurred in
Patches and the balance of the crop
is so much above the average that the
total yield in Clay county will be fully
up to normal. In Polk county the crop
is magnificent and will be one of the
best ever raised in that section. III
Becker, Norman and Mahnomen coun-
ties the crop is also very good. This
is true of h other crops. oats, bar
icy, rye, fax and wheat are in splen-
did shape. When it comes to corn and
alfalfa we have made great strides.
This year the corn acreages has great
ly increased and the area devoted to
alfalfa has quadrupled.
with average crop conditions the
harvest in the Red river valley is 60
ing to be big and I am confident that
a new era of prosperity is coming to
this section. The better farming move
ment is doing much and with the
farmers who are coming here from
other states this section is bound to
be prosperous and increasingly So"
