witness stand for five hours Monday
at the inquiry being conducted here
by the United States Commission on
Industrial Relations into the great
philanthropic foundations and the
cause OF industrial unrest.
While on the stand, Rockefeller
said that he intended to visit Colo

that he was delaying the trip only
because of the present hearing.

London, Jan. 25.-An attempt by u
German cruiser squadron to repeat
the attack recently made on Scarbor-
ough, the Hartepools and other Brit
ish coast towns, was frustrated Sun
day by the British patrolling squadron
and in running fight the German ar
mored cruiser Bluecher was sunk and
two German battle cruisers were seri-
ously damaged.
The British ships suffered only
slight injury. SO far as is known only
l23 of the Bluecher's crew of SS5 was
saved
A battle also occurred between the
light cruisers and destroyers accom-
panying the bigger ships, but the re-
suit of this engagement has not yet
reached the admiralty. The British
were superior in ships engaged, weight
of armament and speed, and the flight
of the German ships into the mine and
submarine infested field possibly
saved them from further losses.
The Bluecher was a cruiser of 1850
tons displacement and. although COM
missioned In 1908, was completely re-
rigged last year. She was not classed
as battle cruiser but was in the
next class to those formidable fight
ers. With her were the Derflinger,
Germony's latest battle cruiser, which
/ had Just left the builders hands, and
/ tht battle cruisers Seydlitz and
Moltke the latter sister ship Of the
Goeben, formerly of the German, but
now of the Turkish fleet, which was
recently reported damaged by the Rus
T slams in the Black sea.

cruisers mount eight 13.5.inch guns.
and even the New Zealand and Indom-
equal TO those OF the Derflinger, the
only one OF the German ships that had
[ better than ll-inch guns.
Commodore Reginald Y. Tyrwhitt
who also took part in the battle off
Helgoland. commanded the light crui-
sers and destroyers which accom-
panied Vice Admiral Beatty's battle
cruisers.
The Bluecher, which was slower
than the other German cruisers, fell
behind and suocumbed to the heavier
guns OF the Lion, which was leading
the British squadron. The other Ger.
man ships got within the mine and
submarine area, two OF them In bad.
| ly damaged condition. and II was dan.
gerous for the big British battle crui-
sers to follow.
I The fact that only eleven men
were wounded aboard the Lion. which
led the line, indicates that the British
casualties were light. II is possible
/ that more OF the Bluecher's crew were
picked up by the British destroyers.

UTILIZE A NATURAL POWER
Volcanic Steam Found Valuable in
italy for a Variety of Use
full Purposes.

Clouds of sulphurous vapors fill the
air in the region about Lardarello, in
Northern Tuscany, Italy. and the odor
of hydrogen sulphide is plainly no.
tIceable for miles around Many hot
springs are also to be found i'll this
volcanic region and numerouss jets of
steam at pressures as high as three
and half atmospheres and with tenn
peratures up to $50 degrees f. flow
from assures and crevices in the
earth. The springs OF the region and
this steam are strongly impregnated
with boric acid, which is extracted at
,Lardarello in a plant which utilities
the steam for generating power and
for supplying heat in the various proc
esses in which heat is required.
In the generation OF power at the
boric acid plant the steam is con-
Quoted into low-pressure cylinder en-.
gines which drive the various kinds of
machinery in use. A similar engine
is used for driving dynamo which
generates electricity for lighting the
plant and the homes of the people
living in the vicinity. The natural
steam is also used by the people of
Lardarello for heating and cooking
purposes. 1t is now believed that the
heat of the steam will soon prove to
be of greater value than the boric
acid produced Pathfinder
