Men on I transports Nth
no Big Guns Prepare for
Battle Nth the Emden

Cairo, Egypt, Jan. 2.-Troops on their
way from the Southern Cross to share
in the empires battles tell a stirring
story of how the transports carrying
5000 men passed within SO miles OF
Cocos, Keeling island, while the cruiser
Sydney was smashing the Emden.
The transports were conveyed from
Australia by the cruisers Sydney and
Melbourne and a Japanese cruiser.
One day the ships picked up a wireless
from Cocos Keeling Islands, station,
one IS. o. S" signal followed by the
words, Strange warship at harbor
mouth"
Immediately the Sydney left the Jap
anese cruiser in charge of the trans
ports. 40 in number, and steamed to en-
gage the Emden, with the result which
caused jubiIation among the colonials
at the first action Of an Australian
warship.
While the cruisers were away the
transports prepared to give the Emden
a hot reception if she should appear.
The japanese cruiser cleared for action.
The cable operator at COcOs island
remained at his instrument until the
Emden's landing party entered the Of
flee and from the moment the Emden
appeared until his instruments were
seized, he licked off messages telling
London what was happening.
The reason the operators suspected
the warship was that they had col
lected a code message which they knew
was Telefunken, because Of its high
note. They thought it was wire
less calling up a collier, and asked
what is your code? An attempt to
lamb the Cocos wireless instruments
was the reply, but it failed, The IS

Life in Brussels daily becomes more

there are eve. a few picture palaces
still going But, on the other hand,
the Germans are daily becoming more
exacting. For the slightest offence
against any of their hundred and one
bylaws, which only the most reten-
tive memory can recOllect, a fine of
$40 is imposed or a term of six months
Imprisonment.
Reduced Fares to Germany
Railway communication with Ger
many is regular and constant. The au-
thorities have even made reduction of
