London, Feb. 2-The British steam
ship Woodfeld was sunk in the Medit-
erranean today by a German subma-
rine after battle which lasted three
hours. Eight members of the steam
ships fighting crew We're killed and
fourteen others were seriously wound
ed. The survivors of the crew arrived
at Plymouth tonight
The liner was halted by the subma-
rine, according to reports received by
the War Office tonight, and as soon as
it got within range, opened fire on the
undersea fighter.
The ship, attempting to escape, kept
up a constant fire at the submarine,
which bonbarded the liner in return.
British members of the Cabinet, who
have been urging the government to
disarnl its passenger ships, as request
ID by the United States, say the fight
between the armed steamship and the
submarine upholds the contention of
Washington.

OPTION ON PARK
EXPIRES TODAY
Mayor Kage Says Delay With
Bonds Ought Not To
Effect Purchase.

Today marks the expiration of the
option held by the City for the pur-
chase Of the Fairgrounds as city
park, and last night the city officials
had not received the $4,000 city bonds
from Jefferson City, where they were
sent two weeks ago to be registered.
AS soon as the bonds are returned
from jefferson City they will be turn
ed over to the Sturdivant Bank, the
purchasers, and the final negotiations
in the deal for the purchase of the
park from the Fair Association will be
concluded.
Attorney r. B. Oliver, Jr., already
has drawn the deed which will be used
in making the transfer of the property
to the city, and if the bonds are re-
ceived in today's mails, the Mayor and
other proper officials may make a trip
to the home of Charles Blattner on the
Bloomfield road, to have his signature
attached to the deed, thus completing
the sale.
Mayor Kage yesterday discussed the
cventuality of the bonds failure to ar
rive from jefferson City today and de-
clared that he does not believe that a
delay of day or two at this time will
affect the sale of the park to the city.
The Fair Associations offer to the
city has been accepted by the city's
vote in favor of the bond issue with
which the park is to be acquired, he
said, and the small hitch in the pro-
ceedings should make no difference in
closing the sale.
The mutual understanding between
the city officials and the directors of
the Park Board is such that no action
has been taken by the Fair Board to
grant the city another extension in the
time of the option. 1t was not deem
ed necessary.
The bonds were sent to jefferson
City two weeks ago today and nothing
was heard from the Auditor until
Tuesday, when City Clerk Frissell re-
ceived reply to telegram he sent in
quiring about the bonds. 1t was stated
in the telegram that the securities
would be examined at once and for
warded to the Cape 1t cost $40 to
have the bonds registered and a war
tax was levied in addition.

HENRI BOSSE sues
FRATERNAL LODGE
Seeks To Recover S291.45 From
Knights and Laoies of
Security.

Henri Bosse, an employe of the Cape
Brewery & Ice Co., and who lives al
1906 Bloomfield street, yesterday filed
suit in the Common Pleas Court
against the Knights and Ladies of Sc
curity, to recover $291.45, premiums
and interest he mas paid on an inSur-
ance policy in that order.
the filing of the suit reveals that
Mr.. Bosse has been debarred from
he privileges of membership in the
rider last June, and the lodge refused
% accept the money he offered in pay
nent of his premiums.
Mr.. Bosse is an old resident of the
Cape and is we'll known here. He
lade application, his petition asserts,

vas granted to him so that he began
paying dues for march at the rate of
$3.50 a month on $4,000 policy.
He declares that he paid his pre-
miums regularly for all months from
March, 1907 to May 1915, inclusive,
and in all paid the order S227.30. In
June, last he made a tender Of the
money and it was rejected and since
that time, he asserts, he has made
erder of the money each month to the
rider and each time it has been de-
clined.
The petition also declares that with
rut notifying him of any charges
gainst him and without giving him
N opportunity to make a defense to
my charges placed against him, the
odge withdrew the protection prom
7ed him in the insurance policy which
''e included as an exhibit.
The policy was signed by T. J. Ju-
len, president, and Charles A. Nc
Donald, corresponding secretary of
order. Mr.. Juden was net in the Cape
last night, having been locked up for
he night with jury at Jackson, it
was impossible to obtain a statemen;

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 2.-Presi-
dent Wilson tonight for the first time
sounded the warning that peril men,
aces the United States from its west
ern coast. After declaring that the
whole world is on fire, and that the
United States may become involved at
any time, he said:
"If these flames creep in on the
United States, it may creep in on both
coasts. Do you know that great sweep
up the Western coast from the Canal
to Alaska. And that great sweep up
from the Gulf of Mexico to the st.
Lawrence.
There are many good harbors and
many cities that would be open to at
tack. Do you think that navy that
ranks fourth is good enough to guard
these long expanses ?"
The crowd cheered his sensational
remarks and yelled a husky reply to
every question he asked. 1t was the
largest crowd that has yet heard the
President on his preparedness tour,
and the big throng was with him. More
than $4,000 people jammed into the au-
ditorium and they gave him their undi-
yided attention.

under this tremendous body of water.
Ninety-five per cent of the land is rich
farms and large percentage in al
falfa and wheat. Caldwell had a
splendid tract of alfalfa. While alfal-
ia will prevent ground from washing,
the grass cannot endure q flood. A
field of alfalfa, when once oveI-flowed,
is dead. 1t viii be necessary to re-
plant every alfalfa field.
The wheat is lost also. While
there were many tracts of fall wheat
that were infested with the Hcssian
fly, l happened to have a splendid field
| of about 175 acres. My loss will be
about $4,000, which is insignificant
when compared to the losses sustained
by farmers whose land adjoined mine.
William n. Leitner, one of the big
stock farmers in the flooded district,
lost much grain in addition to his live
stock. He had more than 1000 bush

much livestock belonging to him was

while l was in Cairo two days ago.
| telephoned warning to the farmers
in this district to get their stock out
of the danger zone, but they felt they
knew more about it than l did and ig-
nored me. Had they driven their
stock to places of safety between the
'evee opposite the Cape and the strip
of lowland which is now inundated,
we would have been able to rescue
every head of it with the ferryboat.
But the loss will be appalling.
"On my trip to and from Cairo, |
found conditions deplorable in that
territory
while | do not believe Cairo is in
any immediate danger, the farm lands
surrounding that city are in a terrible
state. / saw farmers building trestles
out in the middle of their farms, and
upon these they herded their livestock,
where they will remain until the water
recedes."
Capt. Jaynes informed The Tribune
last night that the river at Cape Girar-
deau was at least 81 feet. He bases
this upon guages he erected during
low water. at is the highest l ever
saw, and | have been here more than
a quarter of a century"
John Morrison of the Morrison Ice
& Fuel Company, stated yesterday
that the Frisco trestle over the creek,
just south of the ice plant has been
torn loose from its moorings and has
been afloat during the past two days.
When a train passes over it, he said,
the trestle sinks to a depth of almost
one foot.

| The ferryboat Gladys, which belongs
to Capt. Jaynes, was kept busy yester,
day rescuing livestock from the flood,
ed lands. One hundred head of thor.
oughbred cattle, eighty hogs and about
fifty mules were landed safely in this
city yesterday. These were driven
from the farms that are now flooded
before the water broke out of the
river channel.
Great quantities of live stock, Capt
Jaynes stated, will not be taken from
the lowlands. No effort was made to
rescue chickens, small hogs and hun
dreds of head Of other livestock, be-
cause of the rapidity with which the
overflow water rushed across the
stricken area.
Earnest Caldwell, a farmer living
near the break in the levee, lost heav-
lily. Some of his most valuable live
stock were brought to this city last
night on the Gladys, but many of his
cattle, horses, mules and hogs perish
ed when the river swept over his farm.
Caldwell owns the land that abuts
the river at the point where it broke
over yesterday and which was weaken
ed by the cave-in last summer. Four
acres of ground running up to the
river bank at the break We're sought
by the levee and drainage commission,
of which Capt Jaynes is one of three
members.
eve asked Caldwell to sell us the
land Immediately after the cave-in," +"
said Capt. Jaynes, ''but he wanted US
to pay $1,000, which was more than
the land was worth and more than we
were willing to pay. We considered
$1,000 the full value of the four acres
and made this offer to Caldwell, but
he declined it repeatedly.
"a short time ago, we offered him
a compromise. We told Caldwell we
would pay $3.50 for the four acres,
provided the taxpayers would approve
of it. We felt this was really in ex-
cess of the value of the land, but it
was essential that we get possession
of the ground. We intended to supply
the dirt necessary to rebuild the levee
from these four acres.
Caldwell finally consented to accept
this offer, with the proviso that the
people ratified our action. Monday
of this week, went to Cairo to adver-
tise the transaction there, because the
land was in the Cairo district, and in
order to make it legal, we were COM
PEELED to advertise in the Cairo news
papers. / completed my work there as
soon as l could and returned home, be-
cause l knew the river was then at
dangerous depth and it might break
over the weakened levee.
"We put a force Of men to work
building dam, hoping to build up
faster than the water in the river
would rise. But our expectations were
not realized. The water simply climb
ed up until it broke over the cave-in
and then swept over the wide area.

of the association, will result in milk
fannie by the end of the week unless
dealers grant their demand for an in

While Chicago was suffering from a
milk shortage caused by the demands
of Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin pro-
ducers for an increase in price to $1.55
per 100 pounds, it developed that Ohio
producers are insisting on SIZE per
100 pounds. The local dealers buy
their milk by the gallon, but figured
by weight the demand approximates
