prompt denials. Secretary Daniels

advised today by Vice Admiral Sims.
The after part of the destroyer sank
Immediately, carrying three officers.
including the commander, Lieuten-
ant Commander Walter E. Reno, and
eighteen enlisted men, who were be-
lieyed to have been asleep in their
quarters.
The Chauncey undoubtedly was
conveying the Rose and both vessels
were running through the war zone
without lights. The transport struck
the destroyer on the port side
abreast the fourth funnel. The
forward part OF the wreck remained
afioat an hour, enabling the Rose to
rescue the seventy officers and men
in that section.
There is no record OF an American
transport named Rose. Admiral
Sims was asked to clear up that
point.
Secretary Daniels issued this
statement:
THE United States destroyer
Chauncey which was sunk at 1
o'clock Monday morning, was ram

tion OF the destroyer Immediately
submerged and officers and men in
that part were drowned. After the
collision, the remaining portion OF
the vessel floated for about an hour

FORECAST FALL
OF JERUSALEM
German Newspapers Pre-
pairing Public For Its
Evacuation by Turks

Amsterdam, Nov. 23.-The German
newspapers are preparing the public
for the loss of Jerusalem. The Nord
Deutsche Allgemeine zeitung says
that TO cling to places which would
bring us no military advantage
would be tantamount to the useless
sacrifice of numerous Turkish forces
and our own troops and would like
wise involve serious losses.
After discussing the difficulty OF
reinforcing the defenders, 1t says:
ANY way the abandonment Of
Jerusalem, which is within the
bounds of possibility, certainly would
be an extremely painful loss, In view
81 the city's natural historical past,
but no military change would be
caused by such a course"
Lieutenant General Won Ardenne in
The Tageblatt attributes the Turkish
retreat from Jaffa to the great range
OF the runs Of the British fieet and
adds:
Jerusalem is not equipped for
defense. Therefore ii is not improh-
able that this advanced position will
be abandoned by the Turks" He in
ststs this will in nowise alter the
military situation.
