CRUISER SUNK OFF FINLAND
Naval Battle Between Russian and
German Warships Has Occurred
Belief-ZeppeIin Raids Coast.
SECOND GERMAN SHIP SUNK.
London, Oct. 18.-Dispatches to the
evening newspapers here say that a
second German torpedo boat was sunk
by the British submarine E-19 near
FAKE.

London, Oct. 16.-War's interest
turned for the moment from land to
sea. Copenhagen reports told of the
sinking by a British submarine of a
German destroyer, after a battle with
a cruiser and two d%estroyers. The
cruiser and remaining destroyer fed.
The action took place In the Sound, a
narrow strait between Denmark and
Sweden.
At the same time, a Stockholm dis
patch told of a sea battle in the Gulf
of Finland off Porkala peninsula, 20
miles southwest of Helsingfors, in
which n cruiser was reported sunk
and another badly damaged.
IL is presumed that the action was
between German and Russian war
ships.
No details of the engagement were
received.
The account of the Rritish-G German
naval battle from Copenhagen, says:
Craft Moved in Circles.
"The German craft moved in cir
cles to avoid the attack of the sub
marine, which was ~bombarded heav-
lily. This continued for some time
until the submarine lodged a torpedo
in the destroyer, which sank with a
terrific explosion. The other German
warships are said to have retreated.
"a sharp lookout from the Danish
coast is being kept, but no survivors
have been found"

London, Oct, 19,-The allied forces
from Saloniki have begun opera
tons against the Bulgarians
with unexpected zeal and already the
Serb-Anglo-French forces have pene-
trated into Bulgarian territory just
north of the Greek boundary and the
Bulgarian stronghold of Strumnitza,
according to adyices received from
Saloniki by Reuters Telegraph COM
pany by way of Athens.
Although there is heavy fighting on
the eastern fronts, the Austro-German
and Bulgarian invasions of Serbia and
the efforts of the British and French
generals to bring help to their little
ally before it is too late, continue to
occupy the chief attention of the peo-
pie of the b%elligerent countries.
Weather Helps Serbiants.
The Serbians are being helped by
the weather which is cold and winter
like. The rains have set in and are
impeding the movement of troops and
guns, which at the best, must be slow,
over what answer for roads in the
AodlhdH SldtSS.
The Germans, however, claim to
have taken the heights south of Bel
grade, while along the Danube the
army of General Won Gallwitz is push
ing the Serbians back.
The Bulgarians also lay claim to a
a rapid advance into Macedonia, al
though the French are already report
ed to be in contact with them at Giev-
geli, while both the French and Brit
ish continue to land troops at Saloniki.
Neither Russians nor Italian assist
ance has yet developed, but the Ital-
ians have begun a more vigorous of
fensive along their frontier and have
captured Pregasina, an important ad-
vanced point of the fortified Riva
group on Lake Garda. This will be of
indirect aid to Serbia, preventing as
1t does, the movement of any more
Austrian troops from that frontier.
Germans March on Riga.
The Germans have taken the often
sive south of Riga and forced the Rus
slams out of their positions, capturing
a large number of prisoners and
some guns. On the rest of the east
ern front the offensive remains in the
hands Of the Russians who are at
lacking west of Dvinsk, in the center
and to the south of the Pripet river.
On the whole, 1t appears to observ-
ers here as If the Germans were sat-
isfied merely to hold their present
line except in the north, where they
have made repeated attempts to take
Dvinsk. This would mean the fall
Of Riga and would compel the Rus
SLAMS 10 withdraw behind the Dvina
river. This ambition has already cost
the Germans many thousands of men
but they keep on trying, first in the
north. then in the south and then on
the Dvinsk front. At present their
attacks are developing the greatest
force In the north.
