firing engagement at once developed
In the ncighborhood of the Flemish
coast and continued as far as Thorn
ton bank. There the enemy cruisers
held back. Our forces reduced speed
so as TO allow tho enemy To come
within closer range.
During the latter part of the en-
gagcment an explosion occurred in the
enemy line as Il result OF our fire.
Apparently it was Il boiler explosion.
The damaged destroyer, with Est to
starboard. sank shortly afterwards. as
WAS reliably observed.
our forces then advanced upon the
enemy destroyers. which had turned
away at full speed to join the now
distant cruisers. and finally ceased fire
as the enemy disappeared from view
10 the north. There were neither
losses nor damage on our side

If not all of the philanthropic activi-

PRESIDENT SAYS AMERICA

believe that the American people
perhaps hardly yet realize the sacri-
hceS and sufferngs that are before
them. We thought the scale OF our
civil war was Unprecedented. but in
comparison with the struggle into
which We now have entered the Civil
War seems almost insignificant i'm its
proportions and in its expenditures of
treasure and of blood. And, therefore
1t is matter Of the greatest import
ancc that we should at the outset see
to II that the American Red Cross is
equipped and prepared for the things
that lie before it. 1t will be our in
strumcnt to do tho works OF alienation

the scale Of any other duty that il
