Bulwark Destroyed by Explo
sion and Nearly 500 Men
on Board Perished
ACCIDENT Or DESIGN
is THE QUESTION
Explosion Took Place in the Forward
Magazine, While the Warship Was
Lying off Sherness Near the Mouth
Of the Thames.

LONDON, Nov. 27.-The British battle
ship Bulwark was blown up and totally
destroyed yesterday morning while lying
off Sheelness, Eng, near the mouth OF the
Thames river. OF the crew of 700 or 500
men who were aboard at the time only Il
survived. The cause OF the explosion is
not known for Il certainty, but it is be
lleved that it took place in her forward
magazine. Whether it was by accident or
design is a question to be determined by
the commission which has been appointed
to investigate the whole affair.
In the opinion of naval men it was an
internal explosion that put an end to the
old battleship, which for l. years had
done service at home and abroad and
lately had been doing her part in guarding
England's shores. There was no great up
heaval of water. such as would have oc-
CURED if she had been torpedoed or struck
by a mine. Instead, the ship was enveI-
oped in smoke and flame and when this
had cleared nothing could be seen but
Wreckage floating on the sea.
Houses III towns seven and eight miles
away were shaken 10y the explosion. and
even before men on ships anchored nearby
'could reach their own decks, the BulwarLs
had disappeared. The water nearby pre-

MOVIES EXCITE
SOUTH SEA BLACKS
Install Into Islanders Desire to Battle
Murder and Rob.

Christchurch, New Zealand, Aug
22.-Observers of the Introduction or
movies into Samoa, and especially
those more intimately concerned with
their exploitation, have come to the
conclusion that the simple minds OF
the South sea islanders have been hor-
rihly affected by these pictures.
Melodramatic films, are fostering a
very dangerous spirit among the half
civilized natives. The average native
is an easy-going, peace loving crea-
ture. only step removed from bar
barism. AS such he is easily excited
and sensational dramas in pictures
entertainments are steadily driving
him back to the spirit of battle
murder and sudden death of his war
like ancestors.
For instance, on one Of the Samoan
islands a short time ago three natives
ex-policemen stole two revolvers and
set out on a bushranging expedition
on the lines of the plots dealt with in
the pictures. In another part of the
island natives held up the manager OF
plantation and his assistants. The
Europeans resisted the raiders who
shot them dead. The cinemgOtaraph-
lists in real life were chased. Two
of them were shot and the third one
captured and executed

DRIVE GERMANS
FROM TSINGTAU

Picking, Aug. 2-Non-combatan
are being expelled from TsingTau,
the municipality of Kaiuchau, the
leased territory which Japan has de-
manded Germany to cede back to
China According to reports of the
general civilian exodus received here.
German women and children of the
city were the last to leave.
1t is reliably reported there that the
German fleet at TsingTau is intact.
This contradicts recent statement
from Shanghai that two German war
ships were brought into Hong Kong
in a disabled condition.

FRENCH OPTIMISTIC
OVER SITUATION
(Bv c. F. Bertilli.)

Paris, Aug. 22-,ihe following in
formation was obtained from the
French war office today:
"The Germans have occupied only
one small town On French territory
on the 22nd day of this war. This IS
Andun lie Roman, three miles within
the French frontier, on the railroad
from Sedan to Sarregue and Strass-
urg, twelve miles west of Thionville,
and twenty miles northwest Of Metz.
In southern Lorraine the French
forces have apparently retired back
over the French border to the river
Seille, an affluent of the Marseilles
and to the canal running from Marine
to the Rhine.
"There is no reason to believe that
the French advance in southern AL
SAGE down to Meulhousen has been
withdrawn.
"The operations north of Metz. and
chiefly in the Saint Ney pass and In
the plains north of the Mouse, are
wisely shrouded in mystery.

GERMANS SLAIN BY
OWN GUNNERS

Paris, Aug. 22.-Dispatches from
Rome report that the Tribunal today
published telegram from it's cor
respondent at the front who says that
the French artillery fire upon Meul-
hansen was so accurate and the po-
sition of the Fernch guns so effectu-
ally hidden that the Germans re-
treat from the city resolved itself
into a tragedy.
In addition to this, while Germans
were in retreat they were asslaide by
heavy fire from the Ispein forts, the
German gunners taking them for
French troops. The guns doomed
all night and it was not until dawn
that their tragic error was discov-
cred.
The same correspondent says the
inhabitants of the territory evacuat-
ed by the Germans met the French
forces with French flags, crying, ION
to the Rhine"

Warrington, Aug. 22.-The senate

attitude of the United States in faV-
or of the maintenance OF the terri
torial integrity OF China and the
"open door" policy, will send it to
Secretary Bryan for report. I'm
less he replies that the administra-
ton does not consider action on the
resolution opportune at this time. 1t
will probably be borught out OF COM
mittee and passed. The sentiment
of the senate, if left to Itself In the
matter. apears to be that the resolu-
ton merely affirms policy for
which the United States has always
stood. The next meeting of the COM
mittee will be on Wednesday.

which the Rome correspondent Of

DIPLOMATS Anticipate War.

Washington, Aug. 22.-At a late
hour tonight the Japanese and Ger
man embassies were awaiting word
on developments in Berlin and Toxic
The time limit on .Japan's ultimatum
to Germany expired at 10 o'clock
Eastern time: but as this was a. M (.
Berlin time, it is not expected that
any word from Germany will come
until morning. The embassies ex-
pect that news of ,Japan's next move
will come direct from Toxic.
Baron Chinda asked Secretary Bry-
an to transmit through the American
embassy at Berlin message to the
Japanese charge d'affairs, giving him
instructions in detail as to the course
he is to pursue if no answer is return
ed by Germany.
1t is considered practically certain
by officials that Germany will no.
comply with the demand and that
Japan's action will be immediate
operations against Kiauchau.

TITANIC UNSEA-
WORTHY CLAIMANT
is TO DECLARE
First Time Argument Has Been Ad-

London, Jan. 1.-THE plea that the
Titanic was unseaworthy when she left
England in April, 1912, on her disastrous
maiden trip to the United States, which
cost the lives of over 1000 persons, is
to be advanced in a suit for damages
brought against the White Star line by
Thomas Whiteley, one of the surviving
stewards. The plaintiff sustained frac-
ture of his right leg in the wreck.
Whiteley's counsel, Allen Clement Ed
wards, NJ. p, will also argue on behalf
of his client that there was negligence
in the steering of the Inflated vessel
The hearing has been Professionally fixed
for March |. This will be the first time
that suggestion in regard to the un-
seaworthiness of the Titanic has been
raised in the courts. Whiteley, in an
interview given while he was lying in
New York hospital after the wreck, de-
clared that the officers of the Titanic
had disregarded the warnings of the
lookout that icebergs were in the yicin-
itY
