BIRTHS H FLEET
FINALLY TAKES
Its REVENGE ON
TURK CRUISERS
Two Former German Ships
Are Caught at Entrance
to Dardanelles
Latter Is Now Being At
tackled By British Naval
Aircraft

London, Jan. zE.--In a naval ac-
tion between British and Turkish
forces at the entrance of the Dard-
anelles, the Turkish cruiser Midullu
formerly the German Breslau, was
sunk and the Sultan Selim, formerly
the German Goeben, was beaChed.
This announcement was made by the
admiralty last night.
The official statement says:
The Goeben and Breslau-Turkish
names Sultan Selim and Midullu-
with destroyers, were in action with
the British forces at the entrance
to the Dardanelles Sunday morning.
The Breslau was sunk. The Goeben
escaped but has been beached, evil
IDENTIFY badly damaged at Niagara
point in the narrows Of the straits.
"The Goeben now is being attack
ed by naval aircraft.
"Our losses reported are the
Monitor Raglan and a small monitor,
the M-2s."
The German cruisers Breslau and
Goeben were in the Mediterranean
sea at the outbreak of the war, and
fed into the Dardanelles, seeking
safety from the British and French
warships that sought their destruc-
tion.
Since then their activitieN in the
Dardanelles at the Black sea en-
trance to the Bosporus and in the
Black sea along the Turkish Asiattc,
the Russian and Rumanian coasts,
have brought them fame for in
trepidity second not even to the
German sea wolves, like the Dres-
den, See Adler and Karlsruhe.
The latest account of the Sultan
Selim was in July of last year, when
the British admiralty reported that
British airmen had dropped bombs
on the vessel during an air attack
on the Turkish fleet of Constanti-
nople, in the Golden Horn. Direct
hits were observed on the Sultan
Seiim and other vessels, aboard
which explosions occurred and fires
broke out. The admiralty report said
the former German cruiser was the
center Of thSvSattacl1. and that is was
safe to presume she would be out
of action for several months as a.
result of her injuries. The prediction
proved true, as the Sultan Selim
since then has not been mentioRed in.
any of the reports as being engaged.
The last account of the Midullu was
in June, 1917, when the Turkish war
office reported that vessel in a sue
cessful engagement, together with
other Turkish units in the Black sea
against Russian land positions and
small war craft.

forces will use their armies to the confu-
sion of the boche was drawn yesterday
by W. f. Follows, managing director Of

from Bordeaux.

thus far unohicialy going over the top
Of the amount assigned It, Many other
cities ranging up to the oregon me-
tropolis have done likewise In campaigns
which for enthusiasm and systematic
planning have not been oqualed during

Some indication Of this spirit is found
in the case Of Lynn, Mass, where citi-
zens campaigned all Friday night and
before 9 O'Clock Saturday morning
the hour the loan officially opcned-the
city had oversubscribed It's loan quota
. by hundreds Of thousands OF dollars.
Many cities are holding up all news
Of their official subscriptions for fear II
will slow down the drive. Ofilcially, the
totals given out by the Treasury De-
partment show subscriptions Of about
$500, ,00G, 900.
The significant part of the great re-
sponse. it is stated. is the great answer
OF the country's farmers. In the grain
