BRITISH WARSHIP
IS SUNK BY MINE;
IA ARE MISSING
BattIeShip Russell Goes Down
in Mediterranean = British
Sink German Submarine Off
Coast of England
(BY Associated Press.N

WASHINGTON. April 2s.-Naval
events are again to the front in the
war news with today's announcement
that the British battleship Russell has
been sunk in the Mediterranean by
striking a mine and that a German
submarine has been sent to the bottom
by the British off the English east coast
There were more than 500 men on the
Russell and about 124 are missing
Eighteen men on the German submarine
were captured.
The Russell was comparatively an old
vessel, having been completed in 1908.
She displaced $4,000 tons ana her heavy
guns were four Of the twelve-inch type,
She is the eleventh British battleship
lost during the war.
Another contingent of Russian troops
has reached Marseilles for service on
the western front. This makes the third
contingent. AS in previous instances,
the strength Of the contingent is with
held, but news dispatches from Mar
settles have indicated a belief that as
many as 100000 Russian troops would
probably be transferred this spring to
the Franco-Belgian front.
For the first time in many days the
French official statement mentions no
