ALLIES NEAR THE RHINE
CRISIS IN WESTERN THEATER OF
WAR vEERs TO METZ.
Germans Are Rushing Reinforce
ments and Regain Some Positions
Where French Threaten.

London, Jan. 23-In the mud Of
Flanders, the foods of the Aisne val
ley and the SHOWS of the Argonne and
the Vosges the soldiers of Germany
and the allied nations are keeping up
constant battle.
The visit Of the prince of Wales to
Belfort has led to reports that British
troops will soon be sent to Belfort to
participate in any possible advance on
the Rhine
While the allies have gained ground
on almost every part of the front in
the last two months they have been
forced to give way in one region, that
Of scissors. They are being put now
to test similar to that which obliged
them to retire from north of the Aisne
near scissors.
The Germans, realizing the danger
to their communications with Metz as
a result of the French advance near
Pont-a-Mousson, have sent REINFORCE
ments there and have begun battle
for the positions they lost last week.
Apparently the Germans have regained
a portion Of them and are fighting for
the remainder.
The following official communica-
ton was issued by the French war
office at Paris:
Recent German communications re-
garding French losses In the last few
weeks are erroneous, Our losses are
less by more than half than those
given by the German general stan.
Moreover, it has been found by esti-
mating the dead left on the field that
the German losses have been greater
than those of the French"

GERMAN SHIP SUNK.
BRITISH FLEET WINS NAVAL
FIGHT IN THE NORTH
SEA.
CRUISER BLUEcHER IS LOST
Admiral Beatty Hats Second Raid on
the English Coast-76o Teutons
Drowned-Two Other War Graft
Damaged.

London, Jan. 26.-The German arm.
ored cruiser Bluecher, 1880 tons dis
placement, was sunk and two other
German cruisers were badly damaged
in a naval battle in the North sea, &C
cording to an official announcement
made by the British admiralty through
the press bureau.
Only 125 of the Bluecher's crew OF
885 were rescued. The official an
nouncement follows:
Early Sunday morning the British
patrolling squadron of battle cruisers
and light cruisers under Admiral Da-
vid Beatty and a destroyer fiotilla I'M
der Commodore Tyrwhit sighted four
German battle cruisers, several light
cruisers and a number of destroyers
steering westward and apparently
making for the English coast.
Immediately upon sighting the Brit
ish fleet the enemy made for home at
high speed. They we're at once pur-
sued, and about $3.50 a. m. we're
brought within range and an action
followed between the British battle
cruisers Lion, Tiger, Princess Royal
New Zealand and Indomitable on the
one side and the German armored
cruisers Bluecher and the battle
cruisers Derfflinger, Seydlitz and Mott
Ike on the other
A well-contested running fight en-
sued and shortly after one o'clock the
Bluecher, which previously had fallen
out of lire, was capsized and sank.
Admiral Beatty reports that two
other German battle cruisers were
seriously damaged, but we're able to
continue their flight until they reached
an area where the danger from Ger
man submarines and mines prevented
further pursuit by the British.
No other ships were lost and our
casualties among the personnel pres
ent are reported as:
The battle cruiser Lion, which led
them, had only II wounded. There
was none killed. But 1875 survivors of
the Bluecher were rescued out of a
crew of 1856.
The battle in the North sea, from
the standpoint of the tonnage of the
ships engaged, is the greatest in the
history of the world.
The tonnage of the principal Brit
ish ships engaged totals f15,700 tons,
that of the German feet 91,500. The
weight of armament correspondingly
excels any ever engaged in battle on
the seas.
The German ship Derff1inger is the
largest ever engaged. Her tonnage Is
$4,000. The Tiger was the strongest
of the ships in Beatty's squadron.
The Bluecher was laid down in Oc-
tober, 1906, and was launched in April,
1908 It cost $6,745,0O0. It's big guns
were replaced in 1912 by ~ S.2-inch
and eight 8.6-inch guns. It's length
was 4S9 feet and was 80 feet wide on
its beam. The battle cruiser was built
at Kiel
