London, January 23.-According to a Reuter- dispatch from Ymuiden, 1t was officially stated that four were killed aboard the Veg, including the comman- der, Lieutenant Boehm, and the com mander of the fiotilla, Captain Schultz.
 German officers refuse information about the engagement, the scene of ac- tion or the strength of the fiotilla.
 Reports from Ymuiden via Amsterdam say that German torpedo boats last night attempted to leave Zeebrugge to avoid the ice. which was very thick. They were immediately attacked by large British squadron. The action opened ct short range and early in the fight the bridge of the German destroyer V-69, was swept away by direct hit, the commander and two other officers being killed.
 The V-69 fired one torpedo and was then hit by another British shell, which knocked the funnel fiat on the deck. Still another shell put hole in the forepart of the vessel. Her guns appear not to have been damaged.
 The crew of the V-69 numbered about 60. It would appear from the statements of the men that seven other German ves- sels were sunk. The V-69 belonged to the home fleet.
 A later Reuter- dispatch from Ymuiden reports that Commander Boehm of the V-69 was not killed, as was at first be- lieved. but. that the death of Captain Schultz is confirmed. The two other off cers killed were Leutenants Fanst and Hanover. The V-69 is the flagship of the flotilla of 12 vessels.

RUSSIAN COMMENT

Petrograd January 23.-(Via London) Although Russian public opinion has not had time to digest fully President Will sons speech in the Senate the first inn pression is decidedly favorable. The first parag faph of the speech, comparing the general reply of the central powers with the definite answers of the entente to the Presidents first note, was received with particular satisfaction. Such express sions of opinion as have been voiced thus far, indicate the tone of the remainder of the note will be indorsed in Russia, while discussion is reserved in regard to some of the concrete points.
 Some of the papers print the full text of the speech but the only press com ment comes from the Novoe Vrenya, which reserves a final opinion until later. This newspaper says:
 At the beginning President Wilson saw no difference between our aims and those of our enemies, but now he does, and must fairly admit that he makes a proper deduction. The general principle which he considers necessary for the Uni ted States coincides exactly with the foundation for peace as outlined in our reply to his first note.
 .'He declares final peace in Europe must be such as to forever avoid a repe- tition of the present catastrophe. That is precisely the aim for which We are bearing the heavy burden of this war"
 The Novoe Vremya claims that it ex- presses the point of view of the allies also, but that it is not the point of view of the central powers. It concludes:
 "A firm peace and international jus tice-these are the aims for which we are shedding our blood. Germanys aim is German domination and the humiliation before her of all the weak peoples. The difference in these aims now has become quite clear to the head of the American republic"

DR. s. W. WEIGH IS
 APPOINTED STATE
 HEALTH OFFICER
Well Known Talladega Man Succeeds Dr. Sanders. Who Resigned-WOrk
 to Be Enlarged

Moutgomery. January 23.-Dr. S. W. Welch Of Talladega. member of the Ala bama Medical association. and a promi- nent worker in the organization for many years, became state health officer Tues day as the successor Of pr. w. IF. San ders, who resigned because of i'll health. i Dr. Weeh will devote the next few days to efforts to familiarize himself with the duties Of his new office.
 The new health officer believes the peo- pie of Alabama should know at all times what the state health department is do- ing and has informed friends and workers in the department and in the medical association that it is his intention to keep all proper information before the people He thinks much of the opposition which has come up in years gone by has besh from failure to understand what the health department was attempting to do pr. Welch has addressed letters to friends informing them that they are welcome at all times to any information they may desire and has written other letters urg- ing the support of the press in the work of the department
 pr. Welch will not move his family to Montgomery from Talladega for some time, probably not until fall. His chi.-
 
 be looked after before he locates in Mont gomery- He has the unusual reputation of having lived all of his life in the town where he was born, of having moved lis residence only one time and that because the building was destroyed by fire. Soon after the fire pr. Welch constructed another home, where he has since resided.
 Many physical changes in the offices vf the health department will take effect soon because of the enlargement of the work. Dr. W. W. Dinsmore who has been acting health officer for more than one year. will become state prison and cotton mill inspector early in April and an effort will be made to move the prison inspection department to the third floor of the main building in order that it may be near the hsalth department. At present it is located on the second floor of the new north wing, which was con structed five years ago. This depart ment will be ruled by the state board of health in the future, it automatically passing to the health board with the expiration of the term of pr. William H. Oates as state prison and cotton mill inspector in April.
