WASHINGTON, Pan. 25.-While ne
confirmation has been received at the
state department of the report that
Benjamin Morel, American consular
agent at Dunkirk, was wounded whcl
that town was bOmbarded officials here
intimated that there will probably be
no ground for an American protest, as
Morel is a French citizen conducting
American consular interests along with
his private business. He is 56 years
of age, and has been consular agent
since 1858.
The American government early in
the war advised its conscuIs to use
their own discretion about remaining
in dangerous localities.
Several American consuIates have
been in the line of fire since the war
began, and some of them have suffered
injury. The American consulate at
Odessa was damaged during the Turk
ish bombardment, and the consulates
at Rheims and Warsaw have been more
or less seriously damaged In each
case the usual request of damages has
been entered by the state department.

LONDON. Jan. 25.--An attempt by a
German cruiser squadron to repeat the at
tack recently made ON Scarborough and

tratcd yesterday by the British patrolling
squadron. and iu running fight the Ger
meu armorcd cruiser Butcher was sunk
aud two German battle-cruisers were Sc
Ilou-Iy damaged
The British ships suffered only slight in
lmy; SO far as is known only 123 OF the
Bluchcr'~ crew Of SO were saved
A battle also occurred between the light
cruisers and destroyers accompanying the
bigger ships, but the result OF this engage
ment has not yet reached the admiralty.
The British were superior in ships en-
gagcd, weight of armament, and speed, and
the flight OF the German ships into the
uuuc and submarine infested field possibly
saved them from further losses
The text OF the official press bureau
statement follows:
"A British patrollmg squadron of battle
cruisers and light cruisers, under Vice
admiral Sir David Beatty, with destroy

APPROVED PROPOSED
PROHIBITORY LAW
Rev. r. NJ, Houghton Took Occasion
Sunday Morning to Commend Ac-
tion of Representative Perry.

Previous to delivering his sermon yes
terday morning, Rev. Roy N. Houghton Of
the Centre Congregational church took
occasion to commend the bill introduced
in the legislature by Representative Fran
els {. Perry OF Brattleboro, calling for
statewide prohibition, the question first TO
be submitted to the people. He also con-
graduated the church that one Of its
members was chosen to present the bill,
back of which Is Supt. Clifford II. Smith
of the Vermont Anti-Saloon league.
Rev. Mr.. Houghton, speaking as he said
with deliberateness, stated that in his opin-
ion no other bill had been introduced thus
far which, if it became law, would be so
conducive to the peace, prosperity and gen
eral welfare Of the people Of Vermont.
He said that honest people differed as TO
what was the best method Of promoting
temperance and he warned his audience
not to be deceived by any CRY that the
bill meant a return to the conditions which
existed under the old prohibitory law, as
the law proposed and the old law had prac-
tically nothing in common. He stated with
emphasis that neither Mr.. Perry nor Mr.
Smith nor ex-President Taft, who advo-
Gated state prohibition, was a fanatic.
