HOW THE Campus WAS ).
Warned BY THE GLASGOW
Vivid Account of the Naval Battle Against Overwhelming
Odds on Nov. Last Off the Chilean Coast as Told
BY British Officer the Glasgow

The Good Hope fell more and more
out of line to eastward, burning bright
ly forward, when suddenly an eXpios-
ion occurred about her after funnel,
blowing up debris and flames and
sparks some 200 It. high or so. quite
distinctly to be heard from our deck
Some of our men thought 1t was the
enemy's flagship, so near had she drift
ed towards them. Soon after l could
see nothing of her, and she never fired
her guns again.
! 1 cannot understand the miracle OF
our deliverance: none will ever. We
were struck at the water line by IN all
five shells out of about 500 directed
at us. but strangely not in vulnerable
places, our coal saving us on three oc-
casions-as we are not armored, and
should not be in battle line against ar
incurred vessels.
We only had two guns that would
pierce their arrnour-the Good Hope s
old two 9.2's, one of which was out of
action ten minutes after the start.
The Monmouth was silent and hid
den by our smoke. About half an hour
after we saw flashes Of gun-fire and

a few seconds and then disappeared.
We went in a west north westerly
direction, coming gradually round to
south, steering for Magellan Straits in
order to warn our old battleship, the
Canopus which was coming up from
the southwark, to turn and run. She
was near geo miles away also. and we
were some hours getting through to her,
because Of the continual tanning by
the enemys wireless. 1t would have
been needless and useless sacrifice of
our ship and our $40 odd lives to have
remained and engaged the enemy's
ships again; some 1900 lives had al
ready gone in the Good Hope and Mon
mouth. Luckily our enfines and boilers
were intact, and we were able to push
through the heavy seas at twenty four
knots and get away to give an account
of the action, and warn the Campus,
who, although she no doubt would have
fought gallantly, could hardly hope to
successfully fight five ships.
1--WE all thanked God for our mirac-
ulous escape after a very severe action
against great Odds"

YOU CAN
WRITE AGOOD
WANT AID

If you can write a letter,
or a telegram, or a message
of any sort-and MAKE
YOURS ELF UNDER
STOOD, you can write a
want ad-of any kind for
any purpose.
The one rule to follow is
the rule of the two "D's"-
Directness and Definite
ness! If your want ad tells
your quest, or your selling
story, CONCISELY a nd
EXPLICITLY, so that every
phase of it states a definite
fact, and not a generality,
then you'll write winning
want ads all the time.

Success Of Champagne Move
Inspires Belief That Inva-

EFFECT ON WHOLE WAR

Special Cable Despatch to The Sun.
LONDON, April 2.-The Official press
bureau issues the following from the
British eyewitness" who Is now with
the French forces:
ut Is now six weeks since the French
offensive operations In northern Cham-
payne began.
"The aim was to keep constant pres
sure exA-ted on the enemy's first line
Of defence. to effect the use OF the
railway from Bazancourt to Challeranse
the railway serving the German posi-
lions between Rheims and the Argonne
Forestl and to wear down the reserves
of men and ammunition. This pressure
was continued for thirty-one days. As
q result the enemy has lost the fortified
area which he had been holding and
continually strengthening for FIVE
months.
The German artillery practises un-
usual economy Many days they made
no effort to keep down the fire OF the
French guns. although II meant a
heavier loss for their infantry In the
trenches.
Two valuable lessons have been
learned from these operations.
First: The German front can be
pierced. There were moments both In
Champagne and at Neuve Chapelle when
the way was open, when nothing more
formidable than the weak resistance OF
sorely tried troops faced the attackers.
1t does not follow that because the
holes thus made were closed before ad-
vantage could be taken, this Ia to be
the case every time such a situation
arises.
Second \ serious attack at one
point has an effect on the enemy's plans
and fighting power at every other point.
The British attack at Neuve Chapelle
ruined the enemy's chances for a big
success at st Eloi. The French at
lacks at Perthes helped the British at
lacks at Neuvs Chapelle. Both Of these
attacks assisted the Russians to with.
stand the German offensive in the east
ern theatre Of the war.
Cen Joffre in March inspected the
infantry of several divisions. 1t was
the biggest inspection he has held and
he was accompanied by officers from
the Russian. British. Belgian. Servian
and japanese armies.
There is an idea in many circles and
recently quite general in the British
army that France has q number of army
corps and divisions some where in the
background ready to be thrown into the
fight when the great day of victory is
at hand This idea should be dismissed.
The army corps OF France are all fight
ing. Her reserves will enable them TO
keep fighting hard as long as the war
continues. The French army was the
first to begin the fighting and II will be
the last to stop
