EUROPEAN WAR WAGING
ON MANY SEAS AND SOILS.
Losses Are Heavy but Fighting CQn-
tinues With Many Casualties ON
all Sides of Warriors.

London, Nov. 10.-After successful
ly lodging the, battleships of all the
allied fleets for nearly two months,
the Emden cruiser that has wreaked
such havic among British shipping,
has been outfought, driven ashore and
burned by the Australian cruiser sgd.
hey, according to- official reports is
sued here today. The battle took.
place yesterday in the Indian ocean,
and the Emden was driven ashore on
an island of the Cocos of Kneeling
group. Losses among the officers and
crew of the destroyed battleship are
said to have been very heavy.
London, Nov. 9-Despite the en-
trance of Russion troops into German
territory at Silesia and East Prussia,
the Kaiser is rushing troops TO the
west in an endeavor to break down
the resistance of the British and.
French troops, who have reversed
roles with the Germans and are now
cn German territory in Alsace. The
entrance of the combined French and
british troops in Alsace gives the allies
three ports of entrance into German
territory.
London, Noy. 9.-The Germans
have renewed their offensive in the
Vicinity of Ypres and Dixmude, where
several attempts to break through the
allied lines to the coast of France were
repulsed after the most severe fighting
Of the war.
Despite the Austro-G German armies
have suffered in the east, where thu
russians have set their feet on Ger
man territory, the Germans are said to
De sending reinforcements to the west
IN an endeavor to break down the re-
slstance of the French, British and
Relgians.
London, Nov. 8.-The German and
austrian armies are now on the de-
Iensive both on the east and west.
Ihey have given up, at least for the
present, their efforts to break through
the allied lines around Ypres, in Bel
gum, where the British and French
nave taken the offensive, and, accord
Hg to the reports from snch head
quarters, have commenced d advance.
IN IN the east they have faIlea back. over

he Biggest
Of All Big Game

Of the globe the world hunt goes on,
But it is from the stations on the
South Atlantic islands that the great
est fortunes are being made today.
1t was only after years of expert
menting that therharpoon gun of the
present time was evolved. This is a
short, heavy cannon, 81 IL in. long,
with a 3-inch bore, and is mounted up
On a swivel which works easily up and
,1own and from side to side. At the butt
lend short wooden handle projects,
Slnder which is an iron lever, the trig-
ger. The charge is 800 to 375 drains OF
very coarse black powder, which is
sewed up in a cheesecloth sack and
(rammed in from the muzzle; then come
wads of oakum, hard rubber or cork,
and wool, after which the harpoon,
well creased, is pushed in and ham
mered solidly into place with wooden
raallet
The harpoon is rs inches in length
and has double shaft, at the end u
which are four 12-in f1ukes, or barbs;
these spread and prevent the iron from
drawing out of the whales body. The
tip of the harpoon is a hollow point,
called the bomb" which is filled with
powder and ignited by time fuse;
three or four seconds after the dis
charge Of the gun the bomb bursts, Of
ten killing the whale almost instantly.
The whaling steamers are trim,
high bowed vessels of about 100 tons
burden, 80 to 100 #. long, and have a
speed of from 9 to IL knots Il to IA
miles an hour. Round-bottomed to
facilitate speedy manipulation, they
ride the water like a cork, but roll and
pitch tremendously in the slightest
seaway.

tcndons, heart, liver and intestines be-

In America and other countries the
comercial value of whales depends en-
tirely upon how thoroughly the by
products are utilized. If only the oil is
taken, blue whale may be worth little
over 5000, but if the entire carcass IS
worked up, 1t may bring $1,000 or ST.

straight for it. When close by, soma
captains will "lie to" with engines
stopped, waiting for the animal to rise
again, while others prefer to steam
slowly in wide circle about the spot
where the whale went down. If the
animal rises near enough for shot,
the gunner waits until the maximum
amour tot its body is shown above the
water and usually fires just as the
dorsal I'm is appearing above the sur
face.
Often the harpoon will be driven in
to the flesh for its entire length and, in
fact, in one instance, when saw 4
small finback whale killed, it went
completely through the body. If the
iron penetrates the thoracic cavity
and the bomb explodes near the heart
or lungs the animal is killed instantly
Often, however, two harpoons are re-
CURED to finish the work, and in rare
Instances even three or four.
AS soon as the whale is dead, the
Eodv sinks and must be raised by
means of the steam winch. When it is
ST. the surface, a loaded rope is thrown
under the "fukes," or tail, a chain
drawn about them by means of it, and
the carcass made fast, fiukes foremost
to the bow of the vessel. Immediately
q coil of small rub Der hose is prepared,
che end of which is attached to the air
pumps and the other to a hollow,
spear-pointed tube of steel with per-
forations along its entire length. This
is jabbed we'll down into the stomach,
the pumps started and the body slowly
filled with air. When it has been in
flated sufficiently to keep it afloat, the
tube is withdrawn and the incision
plugged with oakum.
If the whale has been killed early in
the day, or there are others near by,
the carcass will usually be marked by
a flag and set adrift to be picked up at
the end of the days hunting. Several
times l have been on board ship when
as many as six whales were killed in a
single day, and it meant long, slow
tow back to the station even for the
powerful little steamer.
I will never forget my intense sur
prise at he extraordinary ease and
quickness with which the enormous
carcasses are handled by means o.
the steam winch when l first saw a
whale "cut in" Three humpbacks
had been left floating in the water, tied
to the end of the long inclined plat
form called the slip" When work
began a heavy wire cable was made
fast to one of the whales just in front
Of the f1ankes, the winch tsarted, and
the carcass, weighing perhaps As tons,
drawn slowly out of the water upon
the slip. One of the cutters scrambled
up the whales side, and balancing him
self upon the smooth surface by the
aid of his long knife, made his way
forward to sever at the elbow" the
great side fin, or fiipper, 16 feet in
length.
Before the carcass was half out Ct
the water, other cutters, or "fensers'
as they are called, had begun to make
longitudinal incisons through the blub-
Der along the breast, side and back,
and from the flukes the entire length or
the body to the head. The wire cable
" as then made fast to the blubber at
the chin, the winch started, and the
great layer of fat stripped off exactly
as one would peel an orange. When
