GERMAN SEA RAID
 GESTURES BR|TONS
ADMIRAL BEATTY OPENS lN- QuiRY INTO TEMPERATURES
 WENT SCOTT FREE.
DEsTROYERs FOUGHT HARD
Revival Expected of Serious Criticism Of Admiralty Aroused By Successful Prussian Attack of Scandinavian
 FiotiIa in October.

London-The successful attack by German warships on a convoy ln the North Sea resulting in the sinking of Il vessels, as announced in the House of Commons, came as an unconforta- ble surprise to the British public.
 It is expected to cause a revival Of the serious criticism of the admiralty such as at the time of the successful German attack on a convoy of Scandi- navian merchantmen in October. Add ed to this is the raid made off the Tyne by German warships.
 As result of these two expeditions one British destroyer has been sunk, another seriously damaged, five traw- fels and eight merchantmen have been sent to the bottom, another trawler has been damaged and a number of men have been killed, wounded or talk en prisoner. Among the prisoners is a nephew of Visceunt Grey, former for eign secretary.
 According to Danish accounts, the force which attacked the convoy con- sisted of four cruisers, in addition to destroyers. A painful aspect of the affair is that apparently all the attack ing vessels escaped and returned to their bases. Another unpleasant fea- ture is that the British cruiser squad ron detailed to protect the convoy against surface attacks was not on the scene.
 Vice Admiral Beatty immediately opened an inquiry and the first sit ting was held, being conducted by Vice Admirals Sturdee, De Robecx and Goodenough. The investigation will be hastened as much as possible
 According to the testimony of sur. vivors, both here and in Scandinavia, the fighting was of most violent char acter. The Germans poured hundreds of shots into the iIl-fated vessels.
 Testimony given at the inquest shows that the attack occurred be- tween and o'clock Wednesday morning and that the enemy destroy CTS fired as rapidly as possible for few minutes. A Swedish steamer was torpedoed twice, the second torpedo cutting the vessel completely in two. Of the crew of 20 hands on board, Is were either killed or are missing.
 No assistance was rendered by the enemy boats. British destroyers came upon the scene and rescued the SUE ylVors.

WILL PURCHASE GOLD
ON NEW PRICE BASIS.

Because of the extreme rise in the
price of silver Director of the Mint
Baker has authorized the mints at
New Orleans and Carson City. Ne
York City. Salt Lake City, Seattle.
Helena. Boise City. Idaho. and Dead
wood. s. D.. to purchase gold bullion
hereafter on a basis of fneness,
disregardng the previous regula-
tions under which bullion was pur-
chased on the basis of the value of
its silver content.
Bullion containing not less than
enc part of gold may be purchased
under the new regulations. Hereto
fore, only bullion contining at least
ten times in gold the value OF the
silver content has been purshased
The rise in the price of silver from
81 to 50 Us cents per fine ounce
since the war started has resulted in
the rejection of a considerable guam
tity of ore containing gold because
the value of the gold was not ten
times as great as the value of the
silver at Its high market price.
This situation will be corrected and
the low grade gold bullion will be
purchased under the new regulations.
The old regulations had been in
effect more than forty-four years.
