Wild Ducks Sport.

The wild black ducks in the locality of Clinton have an odd habit. When the ice in the harbor breaks into blocks, with the rising tide, and floats on the water, the ducks get in a line, one be- hind the other sitting on the ice block, like people on a toboggan, and take a ride. It is amusing to watch them as their aspect is most serious.

DRAWS MUCH COMFORT.
Republican Official says Election re.
Dukes Wilson.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-"This election,
like others held since 1912, demon
strates that the country is Republican
and favCrs a protective tariff" said
John G. Eversman, secretary of the
Republican congressional committee
in Il statement here today. 1t shows
that the Wilson administration re-
mains Il minority and sectional one;
that the Progressive party disappears
rs u potential factor in American poll
tics; that the Republicans gains in
congress will put an end to the half
baked and sectional legislation which
has characterized the present Demo
cratic administration.
"In the Solid South as usual, 123
Democratic congressman were elected
with hardly any opposition and little
responsibility to their constituents
and were it not for this President Will
son would face today II more serious
rebuke than the one the people adj

VESSELS RAID BRITISH COAST
FOUR GERMAN DREADNAVGJ!'TS
WITHIN TEN MILES OF NORTH
EAST SHORE.
submarine D-5 Reported to BE Sunk.
while Cruiser Escapes Enemies
English Think Ships Merely Come to
Plant Mines.

London, Nov. 4.-That four Ger
man dreadnaughts and four German
cruisers took part in Yesterdays en-
gagement off the east coast of r,nm-
land is confirmed by the crew of the
steam drifter Garrigill. According to
the skipper of the drifter the German
shlps appeared sixteen miles east
northeast Of Lowestoft at O'Clock in
the morning. The firing at the British
cruiser Halcyon lasted fifteen min
utes.
The ,kipper also says that two Brit
ish submarines, in addition to the D-5.
which was sunk by striking Il mine,
pursued the Germans.
Next to the Turkish situation the
appearance of German warships off
the English coast is causing most of
the discussion in this country TODAY.
Ihere is disposition among naval
men to believe that no serious raid
was intended, but that the Germans
hoped to induce British warships to
follow them and, by laying mines as
they retired, to catch some of the big
ger ships, as they did the submarine
D"5.
The fact that the Germans did lay
mines seems to indicate TO the naval
experts here that the ships engaged
in this work were old ones. These
experts argue that Germany would
not take such risks with new vessels.
AS if to prove their contention the en-
perts say that the firing at the Brit
ish cruiser HalcyOn, which resulted in
slight damage to that vessel, showed
that the Germans were not armed
with modern guns.
With the pressure on the Franco
Belgian scacOast relieved, interest in
London has again been directed from
land operations to naval movements.
The daring dash of German squad
ron to within ten miles of the north
east coast of England indicates that
the prolonged inactivity Of the larger
units Of the German fleet has been
broken by raid on the coast Of Eng
land, but much satisfaction is eX-
pressed that the cruiser Halcyon, by
the clever seamanShip of her COM
n.ander, escaped from tight corner
practically uninjured.
The retiring German squadron
dropped floating mines in its track
and this delayed pursuit These tac-
tics are exciting some criticism here,
but experts realize that the mines
legitimate by The Hague Convention.
