At BAY IN THE Moon SOUND
GORDON OF GERMAN WARCRAFT
BARS EGRESs TO CULTS OF
FINLAND AND RIGA.
One Russian Battleship Of the Old
Type Is Sent Down and Several
Others Are Damaged by the supe-
rior Ships and German Guns.

Apparently contingents OF the Rus
sian fleet-in all about 20 warships OF
various classes-are bottled up in
Moon sound. with Gordon Of German
warcraft barring their egress north
ward back into the Gulf OF Finland or
to the south into the Gulf of Riga.
Brave, but outclassed by reason of
superior gun range and heavy ton
mage. the Russians gave battle to the
Germans and attempted to force back
the enemy armada off Oesel island.
Standing far outside the shell zone of
the Russians, however, the guns of
the German dreadnoughts sank the
battleship Slava-a relic OF the days
before the Russo-Japanese war-and
so badly damaged other units that the
Russian fiotilla was forced to seek re-
fuge In Moon souLd-lying between
Moon island and the Esteohnia coast
Immediately seeing their advantage
the Germans, according to the latest
German official communication began
intensive operations against Moon ISL
and. hammering its eastern shore bat
teries until they were silenced and al
so attacking the Russian guns on the
mainland. putting them out of action
Moon island was captured and the
Russians took refuge inside Moon
sound.
Thereupon the Germans threw war
ships to the eastern part of Kassar
bay. lying to the north OF Moon Isl.
and, apparently closing the passage to
the south in the Gulf Of Riga.
Already the Germans have attempt
ed to attack from the north into Moon
sound, but the Russian guns have held
them back successfully Among the
German warships attacking the old
line vessels OF the Russian fleet were
at least two dreadnoughts OF the Gros-
ser Kurfuerst type-vessels displacing
$4,000 tons. as against 1856 tons for
the Slava. A majority OF the crew of
the Slava was saved by Russian tor
pedo boats when the vessel took its
final plung.

GERMAN AGENTS MAKING
EFFORT TO DEFEAT LOAN
Organized Propaganda In All Parts of
the Country.

hington.-Pro-Germa agents in
the United States. according to reports
to the treasury department, have d.
rected their energies toward defeating
the Liberty Loan. Their organized
propaganda has borne fruit. from Min.
nesota to Texas, ii is asserted. in scat
tered localities where weak efforts
have been made not openly, but by in
direct methods to discourage subscrip-
tions
Official recognition OF the propa.
ganda against the loan was voiced to-
day by Colonel Herebert M. Lord, rep.
resenting the war department. at the
war risk insurance conference at
which the details of the new sailors
and soldiers Insurance law are being
explained to officers and enlisted men
from the various cantonments.
There mas been an organized ef-
fort" said Colonel Lord. who was
chairman Of the meeting. "to discour-
age and defeat the loan"
This effort he added, has been made
by seeking to misrepresent the pa
triotism OF the new national army"
An Official account of the proceedings
OF the conference. which was behind
closed doors. issued by the treasury
department. reads as follows:
''In convincing refutation of the
slander. which was to the effect that
the men Of the new national army op-
posed the war Colonel Lord. announc-
ed that subscriptions from the army for
the loan already aggregate s26 600 900
and that some Of the subscriptions
were written in foreign languages.
THE announcement caused great
enthusiasm among the delegates from
the army and navy. marine corps and
coast guard (attending the conferenceJ
500 of whom swarmed up to the plat
form following the address and sign
ed war insurance applications. all Of
which. except forty. were for The max.

EXPERTS COMING

BRITISH AND FRENCH WAR OFF,
GERS TO GIVE MILITARY
TRAINING. T
WILL BEGIN THEIR WORK SOON
Expected That Regiments viii Be
Strengthened by Recruits
From Home.

Spartanburg-Spec instructors
from the French and British armies
are to come to Camp Wadsworth to
assist in the work OF training the
troops here. There will be ten of
these instructors in all. seven French
and three British, and they are ex-
pected to enter upon their duties
about November 1.
General Philips stated that he had
recommended to the war department
that the five regiments in camp,
which had been depleted in order to
fill up the four first line regiments to
war strength. be built up again from
the draft men, and that each regiment
be recruited from men from it's own
locality so far as practicable. IL this
plan is carried out, as IT doubtless will
be, the city regiments will be recruit
ed with draft men from the city and
the upstate regiments will be filled
up with draft men from upstate. The
war department announced some time
ago that the regiments left out OF the
Twenty-seventh Division in the re-
organization would retain their old
regimental numbers and could in this
way preserve regimental history and
traditions.
The reorganization has delayed the
training work to some extent, but 1t
is expected that all the transfers will
be completed during the present week.
