NAMING A BATTLE

Many of the world 5 most famous
battles have two names. Thus the bat.
tie of Waterloo is known by that name
only among English speaking peoples.
The French call it the battle Cf La
Belle Alliance. The battle that decid.

mans as the battle of Sadowa, but the
Austrians call it the battle of Kcenig.

gagement that the Germans call the
battle of Gravelotte is ;poken of b.
the French as the battle of s.. Prvas.

whose father was a Confederate OIL
Ger, was twenty years Old before he
ever heard of the battle of Ant etam,
although ne was familiar with all ths

The reason for this is that the o.
posing armies always name the battle
from some prominent geographical
landmark, and as they lcok at the fed
from different points of view they nat
urally settle on different names. Thus,
at Waterloo, the battle took its Eng

point in the German lines. On the side

BRITAIN ADMITS TWOSHIPS
Disabled BY GERMAN GUNS

London, Jan. 27.-It was officially
announced last evening that the Brit
ish battle cruiser Lion and the British
torpedo boat destroyer Meteor were dis
abled in Sundays naval battle in the
North sea and were towed into port.
The announcement was made by the
Secretary of the Admiralty, whose state
ment is as follows
''All the British ships and torpedo
boat destroyers engaged in Sunday S
action have returned in safety to port
1.-THE Lion, which had some of her
forward compartments flooded by shells
below the water line, was taken in tow
by the cruiser Indomitable. The de-
stroyer Meteor, which also was disabled,
was taken in tow by the destroyed Lib
erty. Both vessels were guarded by
strong escorts of destroyers. Repairs
to both vessels can be speedily made.
''The number of casualties among
the officers and men reported to the
Admiralty is:
"On the Lion, II men wounded.

FOOD SHIPMENT GUARANTY
Is MADE BY GERMAN OFFICIAL

Washington, Jan. 27.-Count Won
Bernstorf, the German Ambassador,
notified the State Department yesterday
that his government had given official
assurance that no foodstuffs shipped
from the United States to Germany
would be seized for military or any
other governmental use.
The order of the Federal Council of
Germany for the seizure of all stocks of
corn, wheat and -four by February 1
is construed by some of the officials here
as likely to deprive the owners of the
cargo of the American steamship Will
hemina of the right they claim to land
their food supplies in Germany.
The basis of their claim was the
declaration that the grain was not in
tended for the German army or the Ger
man government, but for non on-combatant
individuals, and therefore not subject
to seizure according to the terms of
The Hague convention.

Horrors of the Battle
GUN CREWS WIPED
OUT BY BRITISH
One Shell Bursts in Heart of German
Cruiser and Many Men Were Killed
Says Subject of Kaiser, Who Once
Lived in America
By Associated Press.

London, Jan. %, ZIG A. M.-The
"Scotsman to-day publishes the mar
rative of German bluejacket, sur.
vivor of the German armored cruiser
Bluecher, who once lived in the United
States.
The bluejacket said the German fleet
was advancing at full speed to attack
the English coast when the British war
ships were sighted. Thereupon the Ger
mans turned and made for port. The
Bluecher which was comparatively
slow, made desperate efforts to keep
up her maximum speed, but the British
overhauled her and opened fire at a
range of about ten miles.
'We were under fire from first to
last, the bluejacket continues. THE
British centered their fire on us. Their
fire was awful. Our guns were put out
of action, our decks were swept and our
gun crews wiped out.
Saw One Shell Kill Five
Zone terrible shell burst in the heart
of the ship, where many men were kill
ed. l saw five killed by one she'll When
the ship was sinking l jumped clear
of her into the terribly cold water,
which was full of dead and men with
shattered limbs who were crying for

The "Scotman, which is published
in Edinburgh, also prints other ac-
counts of the battle as gathered from
men engaged in it.
For forty miles the two fleets raced
along over the shortest route for
Heligoland before the guns did any
real damage. Then the Lion, which was
leading, overhauled the slow Bluecher,
and, in passing her, gave her a broad
side, causing frightful damage. The
Lion did not wait, however, but con.
tined in pursuit of the fleeing Derf-
finger, Seydlitz and Moltke.

abandoned by her swifter consorts, was

The chase already had continued for
two hours. The light German cruisers
quickly did their best to cover the
fleeing battle cruisers until the task was
hopeless, when they followed the ex
ample of the big cruisers and devoted
their entire powers to getting away.
The bigger ships were now being
steadily overhauled and pounded by
British cruisers. The Lion, which had

HYDROPHOBIA FROM COYOTES
Hundreds of Cattle Bitten BY Rabid

Washington, D. Co.. Jan. 27.-The
spreading of rabies by infected coyotes
among cattle grazing in the national
forests has assumed grave aspect,
according to a report received by the
forest service from the district forester
in charge of the forests in Washington
and Oregon. Numerous townships in
Eastern Oregon, it is reported, have or
dered that all dogs be muzzled lest
those that have been bitten by rabid
coyotes develop hydrophobia and at
tack humans or domestic animals.
Efforts are being made by the State
authorities of Oregon to stop the
spread of hydrophoba by this means
and officers OF the forest service are
cooperating in attempts to kill off the
coyotes. In one county alone a loss of
three hundred head of cattle is charged
to rabid coyotes.
