FRENCH MAY ADVANCE
TO THE RHINE SOON
Battle Crisis Veers Toward Metz
kaiser's Troops Rushing to Scene
and Regain Some Positions.

London, JAM 23.-In the mud of
Flanders, the floods 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
a 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 a 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 Of
fee 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 staff.
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 CRUISER
SUNK IN BATTLE.
Two Other Warships Damaged
by Beatty'S Fleet.
76O TEUTONS ARE DROWNED
Naval Engagement Occurs in the
North Sea-kaiser's Squadron
Attempts Second Raid on
England.

London, Jan. 26.-The German arm
ored cruiser Bluecher, $500 tons dis.
placement, was sunk and two other
German cruisers were badly damaged
in 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
1856 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 destroyer f1otilla un-
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 were at once pur-
sued, and about $3.50 a. m were
brought within range and an action
cruisers Lion, Tiger, Princess Royal,
New Zealand and Indomitable on the
one side and the German armored
cruiser Bluecher and the battle
cruisers Derffiinger, Seydlitz and
Moltke on the other.
A well-contested running fight en-
sued and shortly after one o'clock the
Bluecher, which previously had fallen
out Of line, 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 885.
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 115,700 tons,
that of the German fleet 91,500. The
weight of armament correspondingly
excels any ever engaged in battle on
the seas.
The German ship Derfflinger is the
largest ever engaged. Her tonnage is
$4,000. The Tiger was the strongest
of the ships in Beattys squadron.
The Bluecher was laid down in Oc-
tober, 1906, and was launched in April,
1908. 1t cost $6,745,OO0. It's big guns
were replaced in 1912 by IL 8.2-inch
and eight S6-inch guns. It's length
was 4S9 feet and was so feet wide on
it's beam. The battle cruiser was built
at Kiel.

The travelogues of Charles A.
Payne are unique in that they are
not only interesting and amusing, but
also instructive and packed full of
facts. For example, one leaves the
Doctors lecture on the Panama Canal
with a definite conception of that
enormous work, rather than with the
thought that he has seen some pretty
pictures and enjoyed a number of
funny stories He has travelled SO0.-
600 miles over the world, visiting ev-
cry country. One scarcely realizes
the value of his experience until he
takes time to compute 1t in dollars.
At a fiat two cents per mile rate his
little life trip in search of information
and amusement for his audiences cost
sixteen thousand dollars for trans,
portation alone, not counting other
expenses. The greatest value of his
long journey Is not to be expressed
in terms of dollars and cents, but in
the fact that he is able to tell what
he has seen for our benefit. Either
his pictures alone or his lectures
would be full of interest; the combt
nation is wonderful.
Some say they can read about these
things; but the question is will they:
There is always lacking that intimate
personal touch given to narrative
when it is told first hand by one who
has been there The person In the
audience feels that the thing Is real
for here is a man who has seen It
and is telling it for his or her bene
fit. The story loses that far away
dream atmosphere of the book story
which after all must be the cold record
In black and white of what some Other
man has seen. DR.. Payne brings 1t to
you as living human experiences.

aged 70 bushels to the acre and
weighed AZ pounds to the bushel.
Barley went 40 bushels and spring

may not look unusual to some farm
ers but, when it is taken into con-
sideration that Mr.. McCaffrey had
hail losses on some Of his grain
amounting to 60 and 70 per cent, it
will readily be seen that it was an
extra good crop all around. Of
course on part of the wheat and oat
crop there was only a 20 per cent
