MERCHANT SHIPS
IN FIRST BATTLE
Story of Sinking of Cap
Trafalgar by Car
mania Told.

London. Feb. 15.-"The Morning
Post" publishes the following account
of the action between the Carmanla and
the Cap Trafalgar off Trinidad:
Owing to the worldwide area OF the
present gigantic war some accounts of
the fighting in distant climes are a
considerable time in coming to hand.
Thus a description of the engagement
between his majesty's ship Carmania,
formerly q Cunard liner. and the Ger
man armed merchant cruiser Cap Ira
falgar, written by an old boy Of Sand
gate Church Schools, has only recently
been received. The writer, one of the
Carmania's crew, describes the meet
ing with the other ship of Trinidad.
She had been coaling in the open sea
from two vessels, which made off in
different directions. In fine. sunny
weather, with a moderate breeze from
the northeast, the action opened. The
letter continues:
"'At $500 yards we fred shot
across his bows and he Immediately
opened fire from his starboard after
gun. We opened with all port guns
and the firing became general. We
were now well within range, with most
of his shots going over, consequently
our rigging, masts, tunnels, derrlcks
and ventilators all suffered lie was
then well open on our port side, all our
port guns and his starboard guns en-
gagged and firing rapidly.
lowing to decreasing range his ma
chine guns were becoming particularly
dangerous, so the ship was turned
away from him and the range opened.
-
starboard battery was engaged. Two
of our hits were seen TO take his der
rick steam pipes; he was well on the
forward and had a slight list to star
board. One OF his shells had passed
through the cabin under our forebridge,
and although it did not burst, it started
a fire, which became rapidly worse, no
water being available, owing to the
main having been shot through and the
chemical fire extinguishers proving of
little use. The fire got such firm hold
that the forebridge had to be aban-
doned and the ship conned from aft,
using the lower steering position.
"'At this time the enemy was on our
starboard bow, with a heavy list to
starboard, and at 150 p. m, or an hour
and forty minutes from firing the first
shot, he capsized TO starboard and went
down bow first with colors flying.
"'It was some time before we got the
fire under, which necessitated keeping
the ship before the wind, and conse-
quently we could not go to the assis-
lance of the survivors, some of whom
got away in boats and were picked up
by the colliers.
"'The enemy, before sinking, was in
communication with some German yes
sci. and as smoke was seen on the
northern horizon and the signalman
thought he could make out a cruiser
funnel, we went off full speed to the
southwark, altering our course at dusk
for Abrolhas Rocks
"'The writer omits to mention in the
foregoing account that a German shell
exploded within three feet of him, and
that he narrowly escaped being killed.
He secured a part of this shell and
sent il home TO his wife at Sandgate.
1t weighs over three pounds, and the
iron is a little over an inch in thick
ness"

The Southern Pacific steamship Co.

sisting of forty-fve women, thirty
seven children between one and twelve
years, and five infants. two having

departure from China and their slow
journey over sea and land for some
10000 miles.
Miss Rosa Garth, Red Cross nurse,
who accompanied the refugees, said
the japanese victors had treated them
splendidly.
"They left nothing undone in the
way of hospitality and courtesy, and
our sick and wounded were splendidly
cared for in the japanese hospitals,
which compare with the best in the
world for up-to-date equipment" she
said. After Tsing-Tau capitulated

N. Y. DEAN PAYS
TRIBUTE TO BRITISH
The Rev. w. M. GrOSvenOr
Admits Impossibility of
Individual Neutrality.
IR1 C,hle 10 The Tnbune. ]

London, Feb. 26.-The Rev. William
NJ. Grosvenor, dean OF the Cathedral OF
ST. John the Divine, New York, in a
letter to "The Guardian the English
Church organ, says;
The American Church ofhclally can
not be other than neutral, but IT IS
quite impossible for us to be either
indifferent to or unsympatnetlc with
our brethren in England IN their DARK
hour OF international STRIFE. II IS al
most impossible for Us rs individuals
TO be neutral.
LAS matter of fact, we are not. A
great majority OF the American people
feel that German mIlltarlsm, with all
its false philosophy and unchrIstan
view of the supremacy OF physical
power, is most disastrous, and that the
Allies are fighting for the principles OF
government and the integrity Of that
Christian faith in which the perpetuity
OF our American republic is alone as
sured.
Our hearts 80 out in loyal affection
to our dear brethren. 1t IS at TINS
moment that We would remember all
that you have given to US IN the years
gone by, that splendid inheritance OF
law and literature and freedom anu
character But as churchmen we re-
ioice in that sane, balanced, reason
able religion, with its loyalty to ca
tholic truth and its love of lntellec-
tual and spiritual liberty. We look
about US and on every hand we recog-
nize our debt Of gratitude. We are
sorrowful, as we think that any anNl-
ety, pain and grief should oyershadow
YOUR homes, your splendid courage
YOUR calmness, your sincerity ana your
efforts to go on as usual.
"The service that your fleet IS rem
dering to the commerce OF the world
your loyalty to your treaties and your
pledges, all that England has done ana
is doing to-day for the preservation
of truth and freedom and the falth OIL
Christ, wins our deep regard ana our
profound admiration"
The Daily Mail" IN an editorial on
the deans message, says:
zone reason why such graceiul ut
terances as those Of the Dean OF New
York are peculiarly welcome IS that
they are inspired by knowledge ana
reason. The American people as a
whole have made an extraordinarily
close study of the causes OF the war
IL is hardly too much to say that the
British case has been more forcibly
presented by American journalists,
LAWYERS and essayists than by any
British writer. They realize just as
clearly as we do all the effects this
war must have upon the future OF
democracy and civilization. 1t is that
which lends additional value to their
friendliness and good wishes"

PLEA OF EX-WIFE
FAILS IN COURT
Justice Refuses to Punish Hus-
band for Dropping ALI
mony Payments.

James Allen Roney told Justice Page
in the Supreme Court yesterday that he
should not be compelled to pay alimony
to his former wife, and insisted that
her present husband, whom she mar
rieJ after getting a divorce from
Roney, should support her. Roney ex-
pressed his views in opposition to a
motion by his former wife, now Mrs.
Anna Irvine Chaplin, to punish him for
contempt of court for the non-payment
of the alimony.
Mrs. Chaplin is the daughter of the
Rev. Ingram n. X. Irvine, formerly an
Episcopal rector at Huntingdon, Penn,
where he was unfrocked, and now a
priest of the Russian Orthodox Church
in this city. Roney blamed him for his
matrimonial troubles, and said:
For thirty years Irvine has lived in
absolute dscord with the rest of the
world. My two children have been
taught to believe that | am dead, and
both of them have been placed in
schools under the name of Chaplin"
Roney said that his wife married
Chaplin before she received her decree
of divorce from him, and although she
has stated that she thought Roney was
dead when she remarked, she had been
receiving alimony from him at regular
intervals, which must have reminded
her that he was still alive. Mrs. Chaplin
and her second husband, Harry Gard
ner Chaplin, a civil engineer of Green
field, Mass, are living at 14l Albany
Avenue, Brooklyn.
Justice Page refused to punish Roney
for contempt for not continuing to pay
alimony.

DUKE OF PORTLAND
CANCELS ENTRIES
Resents Action OF EPSON Asso-
citation in Not Giving Up Club
house for Few Days.

London. Feb. 25.-T The Duke Of Port
land, who for thirty years has been
one Of the leading figures on the Eng
lish turf. has caused 10 be cancelled
all his EPSON racing entries, including
those for the 1915 and 1916 Derbies,
because Of the refusal Of the Epson
Association TO do without the use Of its
clubhouse for a few days
This building is now being used as
y military hospital, and the Epson
Association is soon TO hold its regular
meeting. When the association per
mitted the occupancy Of its building
az a hospital it stipulated that the
house be returned TO IL for its com
ing conferences.
In a letter Of protest 10 the club
committee the duke wrote; Surely
Tor one year the few followers Of rae
ing should be only too glad 10 forego
their luncheous il by so doing it be-
comes unnecessary 20 disturb British
soldiers who have been wounded for
the sake Of their country"
The committee yielded in part, and
said 10 the hospital that they would
require only one floor Of the building
during race week. But this did not
satisfy the Duke OF Portland, and he
caused the withdrawal Of all his en-
tries.

WELSHMAN'S TENUR
STILLS RIFLE FIRE

London. Feb. pa soldier writ
ing from the trenches near DIX
nude says: at was a miserable
night. A heavy rain had filed the
trenches. Suddenly out Of the dark
ness came q voice. II was a Welsh
ballad called Hob y deri dando,
sung in q fine tenor voice. 1t was
the cheeriest sound | ever heard.
Az the end a round Of applause came
down the trenches. But imagine our
surprise TO hear clspping and calls
FOR more, in good English from the
German trenches. Thereupon the
Welshman gave 'Mintra Gwen.
Meantime. we realized that not
q shot had been fired by either side
during the song. We had forgotten
all about war. So q bargain was
struck with the Germans that II
the Welshman would give us anoth-
er song neither side would fire any
more until daylight.
The third song was Hen Wlad
fy Nhadau.' 1t was perhaps the hrst
time the Welsh national anthem
was ever heard on this dismal
Flemish morass."

MAYOR SHOWS TAX PLAN
State Adds Heavy Burden for
City to Bear.

Budget increases for 1916, If there
are any, will be due solely to the city's
share Of the direct state tax which
Governor Whitman asks for in his last
message" Mayor Mitchell told the
Brooklyn Young Republican Club at
Red Hook Lane and Fulton Street,
Brooklyn, last night. "The city's share
Of the direct tax of Sl6,S00,O00 will be
sl3,500,000 Without that for the city
to bear, it would be possible to reduce
next years budget by S5,O00,0O0, and,
by keeping the 1916 budget at the 1915
figure greatly 70 increase the efficiency
of the education and other departments
OF the city's work"
Mayor Mitchell was vigorously APP
plauded when he said that hereafter
the city must be represented at Albany
when appropriations are made up.
Controller Prendergast criticised the
amounts given 10 the education and
chaities departments. 81 believe that
the public schools should be made less
centres Of entertainment and more in
stitutions of learning" he said.
