U-BOATS SINK
BRITISH CRUISERS
Nottingham and Falmouth Sent
to Bottom by Germans in
North Sea Fight
ONE SUBMARINE DESTROYED

London-Two British light cruisers,
the Nottingham and the Falmouth,
were sunk in the North Sea by Ger
man submarines while the vessels
were searching for the German High
Seas Fleet, according to an official an
nouncement issued by the Admiralty.
One German submarine was des-
troyed by the British, while another
was rammed and possibly sunk, &C.
cording to The Admiralty statement,
which reads:
Reports from our lookout squadrons
and other units showed that there
was considerable activity on the part
of the enemy In the North Sea Satur-
day, the 10th. The German High Seas
Fleet came out. but, learning from
their scouts that the British forces
we're In considerable strength, the
enemy avoided an engagement and re-
turned to port
In searching for the enemy we lost
two cruisers by submarine attacks
H. NJ. S. Nottingham, Captain C. B.
Miller, and H. M. S. Falmouth, Cap
tain John Edwards
All the officers of the former we're
saved, but thirty-eight of the crew
are missing. All the officers and men
of the Falmouth were saved. but one
leading stoker, Norman Fry, died Of
injuries.
An enemy submarine was destroyed
and another was rammed and possibly
sunk. There rs no truth in the Ger
man statement that British destroy
er and a British battleship damaged.
The presence in the North Sea of a
German squadron of some fifteen war
ships, including large cruisers, was
previously reported by trawlers arrtv-
ing at Ymuiden. Holland, a Reuter- dis
patch from that point says The
squadron was sighted in the region of
White Bank, and was accompanied by
two Zeppeltns. It was taking north
westerly course.

Hughes Sympathetic With De-
mands Of Labor Which Are
Proved to Be Just.

~ am sympathetic with every
demand to improve the condi-
tons of labor, to secure reason
able compensation for labor.
am in sympathy with every eff
fort to better human conditions,
and particularly the condition OF
those who toll in industrial pur-
suits, in railroad pursuits, In all
these great activities that are
essential to our prosperity. But
when you have a proposition to
change the scale Of wage you
have a vital proposition which
requires examination. You must
at least know whether the de-
mand is just one.
Labor, of course, should not
desire anything but what is Just.
do not believe labor intends to
ask for anything but what is
Just. What is just can be ex-
amined and will survive inVes-
tigation. Nothing is lost by hav-
ing the process of reason applied
If only that which is just is
required."-Mr. Hughes In His
Speech at Portland, Maine.
