AMERICANS DIE ON SHIP
Twenty-Three Persons Perished on
Unnamed Vessel Sunk by U-Roat
British Cruiser Destroyed.

London, Oct. 16-The British armed
mercantile cruiser Champagne has
{ been sunk, and the mine-sweeping
sloop BegOnia is overdue and regarded
as lost, says an official statement.
Charles Gordon of Philadelphia is
the only survivor of a steamship tor
pedoed and sunk without warning by
a German submarine. Twenty-three
persons persisted, among them two
Americans, one of whom was named
Harvey Johnson.
One American was killed and a Sec
ond seriously wounded by shell fire
from a German submarine against
their boats as they were leaving a
torpedoed steamer, it was announced
today.
The American killed was James
Fringer. Frank Donoghue was wound
ed. Two Englishmen, members Of the
vessels crew, were also killed. Eight
persons in the boats were seriously
wounded. The name of the ship which
was torpedoed was not announced.

Don't call the children kids. A kid
is a goat and, while goats are all right
in their way, children are better. The
dictionary says ''kid" applied to child
is slang. And SO it is. It depreciates
the child. There is no sense in taking
away the dignity of child by calling
him an animal, says the Columbus CO.,
State Journal. We must KEEP up the
human relation, where respect, SYM
pathy. love dwell. The older people
may overlook the false appellation, but
it stays with the child and makes
him feel, after all, that he is only
little goat, and that his fond delight
is in eating old rags and paper boxes.
Really, the child is an angel, rather
than goat, and is entitled to the
sweet considerations that belong to a
human being; and if he does not get
these it is very likely he will be sort
of goat all his life. SO drop the kid
vocabulary and give the child every
chance to be q true human.

GERMAN TROOPS OCCUPY
ISLANDS IN GULF OF RIGA
Berlin Announces Capture of 2,400
Prisoners--TWo Teuton De-
stroyer5 Sunk.

Berlin, Oct 17.-The, Germans have
taken full possession of the main por-
ton Of Oesel island at the entrance to
the Gulf OF Riga and have also occu-
pied the Islands of RunO and AbrO in
the Gulf of Riga, the war office re-
ports. The Russians have been isO-
lated on SvOrb peninsula and are Of
ferinS desperate resistance.
On Oesel island the Germans have
captured 2,400 prisoners, 80 guns, q
machine guns and several airplanes,
the statement says. The essential
part of the Germans task on the is
land was accomplished in four days.
PetrOgrad, Oct. 1.-THE German
landing force on the Russian island of
Oesel is developing it's success, the
Russian war office announced, and the
Teutons are being REINFORCED with adj
ditional troops.
The Germans have instituted an Of
fensive against the Svorb peninsula,
in the southwestern section Of the
island, with the object of capturing
the Russian batteries at Serel. These
batteries cover the entrance to the
Gulf of Riga.
Two German torpedo-boats were
sunk, two others were damaged and
one Russian tOrpedO-boat went to the
bottom in an engagement on Sunday
in Soela sound, north of Oesel island,
the official statement announces.
More than a dozen German torpedo
boats had forced their way through
Soela sound, supported by a German
battleship, when they were met by
the Russians and turned back.
The landing of the Germans has in
creased the exodus from Petrograd,
which has been noticeable since the
fall of Riga. Since Saturday the ticket
offices have been besieged, many per-
sons offering large premiums for
tickets. The situation is aggravated
by rumors, which were branded Off
cially as unfOunded, that passenger
traffic will be stopped soon, in view
of the expected evacuation of govern
ment institutions.
1t is stated in government circles
that no extensive evacuation is looked
for, as no immediate danger threatens
the capital. The new front is still 800
miles distant, it is pointed out, and
the roads are impossible.
