ORDERED CONFISCATED;
3 BRITISH SHIPS SUNK?
Russians Reversed by Austrian Forces in Bukowina
Heavy Fighting Again in Progress in Poland; Turks
Also Claim Successes Germany Says British Cruiser
and Two Torpedo Boats Were Sunk Sunday

Malmoe, Sweden, Jan. 20, via Lon
don, 4.35 =. M.-It Is persiStentIy as
serted here that the German protected
cruiser GaZelle was torpedoed yester-
day by u submarine of unknown ma
tlonaltty ut point I'm the Baltic near
the Island of Ruegen, which Is off the
coast of Prussia. Although the Gazelle
was damaged. she was able to return
to the port of SaSSnitZ
Three British warships were sunk
in the naval engagement in the North
Sea Sunday, Berlin now asserts. A
staten ent issued there to-day SAYS that
according to well informed German
sources" Il British battle cruiser was
sent to the bottom by a German tor
pedo boat and that a German aviator
witnessed the destruction of the ves-
sci. In addition to the loss of the
cruiser as previously reported in Ber-
lin. it is stated that the British tor
pedo boats were sunk and that other
Warships were damaged seriously. The
British admiralty has added nothing
to its original announcement that no
British vessels were lost or seriously
injured.
The German governments order for
the contiscation of all supplies of
wheat, corn and -four is regarded in
England as n significant indication of
the economic effects of the war upon
Germany. 1t is said officially in Ber-
lin, however, that the action of the
government, assuring conservation of
foodstuffs, will make certain plenti-
full supply until the next harvest.
Russia is rushing reinforcements in
to Bukowina. where she apparently
has met with a reverse at the hands
of the Austrian forces. Vienna as
sumes that Rumania will now hesitate
to join Russia in the war and that the

is over. at least for the immediate flu
ture. In Poland heavy fighting is un-
der way once more, and a degree of
success for the Germans is admitted in
Petrograd. Berlin hears that the Teu-
tonic allies have occupied Kielce.
In the war with Turkey also. Rus
sia is encountering severe opposi-
ton. Although Petrograd announced
that the resistance of the Turks in the
Trans-Caucasus has been virtually
broken. an official statement to-day
says that the Turks are Offering stub

born resistance. although the Russ
sian offensive is making progress.
The German armies of the west have
suddenly taken the offensive, deliver
ing violent attacks simultaneously at
several points. The German war office
report to-day claims an important vic
tory over British troops along
La Bassee canal. in France, just south
of the Belgian border. Positions OF
the British extending over about two
thirds of a mile. including two strong
points of support, are said to have
been taken by storm and held in the
fac; of counter attacks. The French
official statement however, does not
concede this victory to the Germans.
1t admits that they made progress tenn
porarily. but asserts that subsequently
they were repulsed.
Both communications report prog
ress for the Germans near Craonne,
where trenches of the allies were taken
and retained in part. Elsewhere, ac-
cording to the French version of the
lighting. the Germans were repulsed,
with the possible exception of Alsace.
1t is said in Berlin that Russian at
tacks in East Prussia were repulsed
and that no impotant fighting occurred
in Central Poland. The latter state
ment is in contrast with Petrograd re-
ports of severe battles west of Warsaw.
The Russian foreign minister, Ser
gius Sazanoff. announced that Russia
would continue the war so long as a
single soldier of her enemies remained
on Russian soil.

HIGH WATER IS NOW
RECEDING RAPIDLY
Mississippi Stage Drops to 1873
Feet-Big Fall Begins
Today.

After the crest of the flood which
sent the Mississippi River past the "a
foot stage Tuesday had passed early
yesterday morning, the waters con-
tinued to fall steadily.
Early this morning the stage was at
33.6 feet and it is expected that the
flood will fall more rapidly today than
heretofore.
Officers on the Steamer Ferd Her
old, which passed up the river about 2
o'clock this morning, said that the
Mississippi still was running high
down stream. Much of the lowlands
have been flooded and crop damage re-
suited.
For the last four days backwater,
which got into the Cape Portland Ce-
ment plant south of town, has caused
the plant to be shut down temporarily.
Stagnant water that began to cause
trouble along the levee Tuesday, yes
terday commenced to recede with the
first fall of the river stage.
When the river was at its crest, it
was at the highest point on record in
August for several years. The record
of 34.4 feet exceeds the height of
many spring and June floods as well.

and showed symptoms of having ra-

The dog had attacked several other
dogs on the street and snapped at peo-
pie. Stone struck the canine on the
head several times with his night stick
and eventually was forced to shoot it
when the dog took refuge under a
porch at the home Of Deputy Sheriff

GAME HOGS BEGIN
Staying TURKEYS
TIVE Deputy Wardens Looking for
Law Vi0laters Near
DutchtOwn.

Wild turkeys are being shot in viola
tion of the game laws in Cape County
in the vicinity of Dutchtown, Gordon
vile and other small places west of
Cape Girardeau and steps are being
taken by the State game warden to
put an end to the poaching and out-of-
season shooting.
Following the delivery of several
complaints from farmers in the vicin-
ity of Dutchtown and Gordonville in
the last week or two, it was deter
mined to place special game warden
in that territory to be on the lookout
for violations of the law and make
cases against the hunters.
Last night Deputy Game Warden
John R. Lett, of Charleston, arrived in
the Cape to install special game war
den,W. L. Sorrell, of Bloomfield, in the
affected territory.
According to Lett, the Warden's of
flee has received several letters say
ing that the turkeys have been shot
out Of season. He exhibited one letter
post-marked Cape Girardeau, in which
a complaint had been made.
The open season for shooting wild
turkeys, Lett said, is from November
1 to December 81. Sorrell expects to
work in the country, collecting infor-
nation about the law violations and
attempt to trace the men who are re-
sponsible.
The matter will be carried through
as far as the officers are able to take
it and Lett last night declared he
hoped they would be able to make good
cases against some Of the hunters.
The tone of the letters which he has
been receiving indicated that the farm
ers in the country where the law has
been violated are up-in-arms over the
shooting and will do much to aid the
game warden in ascertaining the iden-
tity of the gun men.
