BRITISH MOSQUITO FLEET GOES

MoLlSAEs HUN PATROL.
Teuton Raiders Believed to Have Been
Headed for Another Exploit Like
Recent One Near Shetland Isles
When They Met Surprise.

London.-Eleven German ships, per-
haps twelve, one of them an auxiliary
cruiser armed with six-inch guns,
were sent to the bottom of the Cate
gat, the large North sea arm between
Sweden and Denmark, by a British
mosquito fleet some time Saturday.
Ten of the sunken vessels were patrol
craft.
The Teuton fleet, it is believed, was
headed for an exploit like the recent
one near the Shetland isles, when nine
scandinavian ships and two British
destroyers were sunk. They may have
been the same raiders who got away
that time.
Sixty-four prisoners We're rescued by
the British torpedo craft.
OF the crew of the Teuton auxiliary
cruiser the Marie, of 5000 tons, thirty
were killed outright by the British
shell fire.
Captain Lauterbach, her command
er, and six of his men were picked
up by a Danish vessel and taken to
Copenhagen, All are more or less
seriously wounded.
Official announcement of the British
naval success sent a thrill through all
Britain. 1t could not have come at II
more opportune moment. A great part
of the British press, inclming some
of the governments staunchest sup
porters, had just unloosed concert
ed TRADE against the admiralty on ac-
count Of the recent German raiding
success.
Sir Eric Geddes was the target of
violent criticism for his explanation
in the commons and particularly for
the admiralty report, which was char
acterized by one paper as "obscure and
very unmilitary.'

HOLES IN OTHER STOCKING
Aristocratic Customer Undone by I'm
patient Clerk, Who Pulled Off
the Wrong Shoe.

The aristocratic and plutOcratic
looking young woman walked into the
downtown shoe store, says the Indian
apolis News, and demanded fitting.
Demanded was the tone of voice.
Majestically she lowered herself into
the regulation seat proffered her by
the manager of the department and he
matinee idol in the shop, to the Gus
toner.
The woman began by asking to see
everything that was shown in the win
dow outside. Classy G. started out to
fill the order. He did. But none of the
shoes were good enough for madam's
dainty foot. AS the day wore on and
the customer stayed, G. G. began to
perspire The other clerks looked on
and grinned. Not that they disliked
Charles, but, well, there was feeling
among the fellows about him. All this
did not change the expression on Char
leys face. 1t remained, that same
winning smile. But finally after about
half the stock had been laid out for in
spection, the manager whispered to
Charles, Are you that rotten?" Which
made Charles as mad as could be. He
forgot himself. He violated the first
rule of etiquette Of the shoe clerk.
mo, it is the second; the first Is to
hand out the usual line about the
quality, etc.) He yanked off her left
shoe. Lo, and behold, the stocking on
the left foot was full of holes If
the right one was perfect, what a flaw
IN the woman's other piece of hosiery!
The clerks gasped. The woman scream
ed The other boys laughed.
Then with sigh of it-cant-be-
helped, she remarked: "But we won't
mind the holes" She bought pair
of tennis Shoes high tops, ten minutes
later.

Peat Boys of ireland.

Ireland possesses 25000,000 acres of
peat bog-one-seventh the total area
of the island. Much of this peat Is
concentrated In the center of the eoun-
try, in the Bog of Allen, but there are
also large tracts in other localities.
To utilize this peat, not merely for
domestic use, but also for power pur-
poses, is a problem which has exer-
cised the minds of prominent Irishmen
for many years. and the department
of scientific and industrial research
appointed committee, with Sir John
Grlfflths of Dublin as chairman to In
vestigate the whole question. Some
successful attempts have already been
made In Ireland to deal with the sub
stance on commercial basis, but any
efforts to utilize the deposits must al
ways have regard to three circum-
stances-that peat contains and re-
talns a large amount of water; that,
compared with other fuels, 1t has n
low calorific value. and that 1t Is ex-
tremely bulky, involving high cost

WAR UPON GERMAN
U-BOATS WINNING
ABOUT HALF OF THE ENEMY
SUBMARINES HAVE BEEN DE-
STRoYED BY ALLIES.
unceasing War of British and Ameri-
can Patrols Causes Germans to
Speed Up Building Program to
Keep Up With Losses.

London.-Sir Eric Geddes, who re-
Gently succeeded Sir Edward Carson
as first lord of the admiralty, made
his first address in parliament on No
vember l and gave some interesting
and anxiously awaited figures on the
work of the navy and shipping in gem
eral.
His declaration that between 40 and
80 per cent of the German submarines
operating in the North sea, the Attain
tic and the Arctic oceans had been
sunk was not the least interesting of
his announcements. There was an in
dication of the unceasing war the
British and American patrols are max
ing on the submarine in his state
ment that during the last quarter the
enemy had lost as many submarines
as during the whole of 1916.
The output of merchant shipping in
the first nine months of this year, he
said, was 1913 per cent higher than in
the corresponding period last year. The
admiralty had decided that four new
national shipbuilding yards would be
necessary.
1--WE must lay plans for long war, y
said Sir Eric. Il see no signs of its
being a short one"
The losses of merchantmen In Octo-
Der, he said, were very slightly worse
than in September Enemy subma-
rines were being sunk to an increas-
ing extent, but the Germans were
building them faster than they had
done hitherto.
The total net reduction of British
tonnage since the beginning of the war
was given out as 100000 tons.
Replying to the criticism that the
fleet had not been sent to assist Rus
sia, he pointed out that such an oper-
alton would occupy considerable time
and that there were extensive mine
fields. Responsible naval opinion was
unanimous that the step was not one
which should be taken.

AMERICANS HAVE TRENCH FEET
First Battalons in Trenches Relieved
After Being Under Fire.

Paris.-The first battalions of Ameri-
cans in the trenches have been relieved
by others.
Relief, which is considered one of
the critical periods, when the enemy
by Smelling the approaches to the posi-
tons, may intlict heavy damage, was
accomplished successfully. Apparent
ly, the enemy was not aware of what
was going on.
With the men back in billets, 1t now
is permitted to mention for the first
time that the casualties were negligi-
BILE. In fact, more men are suffering
with trench feet" than with wounds.
From military standpoint the eX-
periences gained by the Americans is
considered of very high value in the
training of contingents which are yet
to arrive on French soil. 1t was a
tired, dirty, wet, mud-caked body of
men that returned to the billets. The
men had only two clear days while in
the trenches. They were mud from
their hats to their shoes, Before any
thing else they required bath, first
with gasoline and then water.

FIXES WAGES IN SHIP YARDS.
Men Granted Increase of From 10 to
80 Per Cent Over Old Scale.

San Francisco.-Uniform minimum
wage scales for the Pacific coast ship
building yards, guide for all ship
yards in the country, were announced
Sunday by the United States ship
building labor adjustment board. The
decision effects an increase of from
10 to 80 per cent over the old scale
here, although its uniformity makes
1t lower in some localities than the
temporary scale now in force.
The decision, the first to be handed
down by the board, declares, that EN-
ployes' discrimination, interfering
with the defense of the nation in
time of war, against so-called unfair
materials would be intolerable."
"There won't be many ships built
under this SCALE" declared M. j. Ma
guire, a union conferee, representing
the metal trades craftsmen of the bay
district. 81 believe the entire ship
building crafts of the Pacific coast will
appeal to President Wilson against the
decision"
