and five others, including two de.

SGni-official statement today.
The German fleet which is be:
1icvcd to have made it's dash from
Zcebrugge, Belgium, was SO close
to the British coast at times that
the lights on shore could be seen.
German papers print long articles
landing the daring Of the German
sailors.
The German admiralty, it is
stated, has reiterated it's asscr-
ton that all the German destroy
crs returned to their base.
An official announcement says
parts were saved Of the crews of
the destroyed ships.
1t adds that several other
guarding vessels and at least two
destroyers were heavily damaged
by torpedocs and artillery fire.
"While retiring from the scene
of action, five Of the German de-
stroyers met two French long
boats. Two of these were sunk,
but greater part Of the crew
was saved. -
The raid was made in gather
ing storm. The German destroy
crs came on the scene swiftly and
sighting the transport Queen, at
tackled and sunk her before the
British patrol ships could come to
her assistance.
The prompt arrival of the Brit
ish destroyer and the vigor with
which they engaged the German
vessels, probably saved other
troop ships from fate as disas-
trous as that Of the Queen.

der for IL distance of ninety-six
miles.
The camps are about fifteen
miles apart and Captain Thomp-
son, who rode the lines, says it is
about the widest and most God
forSaken country he ever saw. At
San lgnatio, which is Il Mexican
hamlet, there is not a single Amer
lran. Here six Mcxicans that were
killed in raid just before the ar
rival Of the National Guard are
buried. Captain Thompson says
IN 4 ride Of a hundred miles he
did not see half a dozen people
who could speak English.
All the camps of the 18th Mis-
souri, are surrounded by trenches
as there is only one company at
each place and in ease of attack
the Missourians would have to
fight against odds. The actual
patrol of the border has all been
done by the Missouri troops. The
