ENGLISH SINK FOUR
GERMAN DESTROYERS

LONDON, Oct. ia British mos
quito fleet sank four German Destroy
ers off the coast of Holland Saturday
afternoon, swiftly avenging the loss of
the light cruiser Hawke and 400 men.
The fast, new light cruiser Undaunt-
ed, with the destroyers, Loyal, Legion,
Lennox and Lance, the fleet command
ed by Lieutenant-C Commander George
Seymour, were attacked by the Ger
man destroyer fleet while on patrol
duty off the estuary of the river Ems.
The battle which followed was short
and fierce.
The six-inch and four-inch guns of
the Undaunted riddled the German de-
stroyers, and the British destroyers
completed the work in a few minutes.
The victory does much to even the
score between Germany and England.
The admiralty asserts that the Ger
mans have lost four cruisers, nine de-
stroyers, one torpedo boat, three sub
marines and eight fast merchant
ships armed as commerce destroyers,
a total of twenty-five useful war YES
sells.

$4,000, 900 WAR BILL,
SAYS FRENCH ECONOMIST

PARIS, Oct. 19-Paul Leroy-Beau-
lieu, the French economist, estimates
that each of the greater belligerents
is spending an average equivalent to
$2OO,OOO,0O0 monthly.
In presenting these figures to the
Academy of Moral and Political Sci
ences, he said that he considered it
probable that the war would continue
for seven months from August 1. Ac-
cOrdingly, the five greater powers en-
gagged were committed to an eXpendi-
ture Of $7,OO0,OO0,OO0. Each of the
smaller states, including Japan, would
have expenses of from $600,000,000 to
$800,000,000 to meet.
"One might say that the war will
cost the fighting powers roughly from
$4,000, 100000 to $4,000, 100000. These
figures, which do not take into ac-
count the losses of revenue during hos
tilities, will be met first by the issu-
ance of notes against the accumulated
gold in the government banks; sec
ond, by the issuance of short term
treasury bonds, to which all govern
ments are having recourse during the
war, and third, by delaying payments
for military necessities.
"The larger part of the savings of
the world will be absorbed by the tax
ing up of national loans, and economic
progress will be seriously checked"

IOWA AVIATOR BREAKS
FLYING RECORD

CHICAGO Oct 2O.-W. G. Robin
son, Grinnell QoWa) aviator, flying
a monoplane built by himself, broke
the American record by flying from
Des Moines to Kentland, Ind, nearly
400 miles in four hours and forty-rour
minutes
His destination was Chicago, but a
wind and rain storm drove him out of
his course, and he was lost for three
hours above the clouds.
The greatest altitude attained was
1900 feet. Robinson left Des Moines
at 1886 in the morning, and landed
with his machine in Kentland at 3:4O
in the afternoon, having run out of
gasoline.
''The sky was clear and beautiful
when l left Des Moines," Robinson
said. "I was up about 5000 feet at
Grinnell, where the first clouds ap-
peared. I tried to steer clear of them,
but they became heavier and thicker,
and felt it even through my leather
suit.
"The cold was sharp and intense as
I flew eastward"

TWO BATTLES OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE IN EUROPE

LONDON, Oct 1.-two great bat
ties of mighty Importance are to be
fought in both zones of the great Euro
pean war storm in the next two or
three days, according to reports reach
ing here.
One of these has already begun. 1t
is the greatest battle of the campaign
in France-viewed from the result on
the fortunes of the opposing armies
and is only 100 miles from London.
This is the gigantic contest along a
line stretching through western Bel
gium and into the French department
of the north.
The other conflict is in the eastern
theater of war. Berlin announces the
Germans are preparing for the engage
ment along lines of terrific ferocity,
and are being aided by the Austrians.
The Teutonic allies have taken posi-
tions along the Vistula and San rivers.

ICELAND SENDS TO
AME 9iCA FOR GRAIN

NEW YORK, Oct. 2O-While Amer
leans are talking about developing
trade with South America because of
the disconnection OF that half. of the
continent with European countries,
trade is offering itself from an entirely
unexpected quarter. The government
of Iceland embarked recently on
new enterprise, because of the posi-
ton in which that country found itself
with regard to food supplies.
Because Of its nearness to Europe
and it's connection with Denmark, Ice
land has heretofore traded entirely
with Denmark and Norway. Since the.
powerful European nations were
plunged into war, and business came
to standstill, it is not possible to
obtain the necessary grain and flour
supplies in Europe.
Iceland lost no time in turning to
the United States for supplies. The
government chartered a vessel and
dispatched it to New York, along with
a member of the house of parliament
and commercial representative. The
vessel, the Hermod, Norwegian, from
Bergen, is at present awaiting sup
plies in Hoboken.
