BRITISH SUBMARINE

London Trying to Gel Even For the
Loss of Three Cruisers
LONDON, Oct. 8.—It is officially
announced that the German destroyer
sunk off the Ems estuary was sunk
by a British submarine and not by a
mine as had been supposed. The fact
is taken as in some measure caunter
acting the loss of the Cressy, the
Hogue ami the Aboukir sunk by the
German submarine.

HE WYWEIGHTS FIGHTING
RERUN*. Oct. 8.—The Schwerath
letische Sport, the adherents of which
are especially strong young men, is
represented in the field by a great
number of wrestlers and heavy weight
lifters for the defense of the country.
The largest Schwerathletische club in
Berlin has sent fifty four, or nearly
all its active members to the front
Among these are Franz Buchholz, the
champion weight lifter of Berlin,
Kockel and Paul ini, the world’s cham
pion wrestlers and Koshler and Mag
sam. the European champions.
LONDON. Oct. 8.—The war has
brought about two innovations in the
leading London theaters, a reduction
of prices, and the privilege of sitting
in the best seats without wearing
evening dress. The stalls of London
houses, which correspond to orchestra
seats in America, are ordinarily sold
at two ami a half dollars, but several
of the principal theatres have reduced
the price to two dollars. Although
there was no hard ami fast rule there
was a custom which only a few inde
pendent people had the temerity to
violate that every occupant of the
stalls should wear evening dress. The
exceedingly fashionable theatres con
trolled by Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree
ami Sir George Alexander were
among the first to recognize that war
is a time when formalities are at a
discount.
When people are cutting on lux
uries, and many in mourning or op
pressed with anxiety for relatives at
the front, theatre going suffers a
sharp decline. In the interest of the
many people who depend upon them
for a living the managers are doing
their best to keep their houses open.
Profit sharing has been adopted by
many London and Provincial esta
blishments.
COl’LD NOT GET I P

W. E. Dunkle ami \V. J. Rolfe have

the Guggenheims who have taken a
very great interest in the strike re

KAISER QUITS JOBS
LONDON, Oct. 8—According to
Sir Edward Grey, the German Emper
or on August 4 sent one of his aides
de-camp to the British Ambassador
with the following message:
“His Majesty begs that you will tell
the King that he has been proud of
the titles of British field-marshal and
British Admiral, but that in conse
quences of what has occurred he must
now at once divest himself of those
titles.”
This was written by Sir Edward
Goschen in London on August 8, and
vet in the new montly Naval List,
just issued, a month after the actual
event, one reads: “Admirals of the
Fleet: His Imperial Majesty William
11., German Emperor and King of
Prussia, K. G., G. C. V. O.; his Royal
Highness Prince Albert William Hen
ry of Prussia, K. G., G. C. B.”
ONE FLAG FOR THE ALLIES
LONDON, Oct. 8.—England for
the first time in this generation is be
I coming thoroughly familiar with
i other flags than the Union Jack, but
it is having a hard time doing so.
In some quarters an attempt is made
to display the flags of all the allies,
reckoning them as France, Belgium,
Russia, Serna Montenegro and Japan.
One drawback is that all the national
flags mentioned except two are tri
1 colors, and to English eyes all tri
colors look more or less alike. In fact,
nearly every national flag in Europe
is a tri-color, either vertical or hori
zontal. France has the blue, white and
red vertical; Holland the red, white
and blue horozontal; Belgium, black,
! orange anti red vertical; and Russia,
i white, red, and blue horizontal. Ser
via’s flag is simply the Russian flag
upside down with a small device in
the middle. Montenegro’s is the same
as the Servian with a different de
vice in the center.
A special war flag has been de
signed by a woman who has attempt
ed to combine the flags of all the al
lies in one banner, but it is such a
monstrosity that no one displays it.

TOBACCO AND CIGARS FOR
GERMAN SOLDIERS
Berlin, Oct. 8.—In Minden a cen
tral bureau for the distribution of
tobacco products during the war has
been organized, with a view to equali
zing as far as possible the production
and operation of cigar factories in all
parts of Germany and to see to it
that the men and officers in the field
receive good cigars. The orders will
be distributed among the individual
factories according to the number of
employees.
A barber in Berlin has announced
by placards that he will give a free
hair cut to all children of fathers who
have taken the field.
LONDON—A “solid wall of war
ships” is thrown across the northern
part of the North Sea, according to
the captain of a British trawler who
has just arrived from Iceland. The
skipper said it was “absolutely im
possible for any foe to break through
undetected,” so constant and thorough
was the patrol to the north. It was
his own experience to be halted and
searched and after being released his
boat was followed by two torpedo
boats until it reached its destination.
The thoroughness of the patrol was
further testified to by another North
Sea skipper. His trawler was lying
along shore, when shortly after mid
night it suddenly found itself hemmed
in by a huge black object which prov
ed to be a British cruiser. Its officers
seemed to have had cat’s eyes. From
the dark a voice demanded to know
the identity of the trawler. It was
promptly shouted back.
“The name is quite correct, sir—
came another mysterious voice astern
of us,” said the skipper. “A submar
ine had crept up behind us and read
our name. Although all of our crew
had come on deck to see what was
happening, not one of them had seen
the submarine appear. The whole epi
sode only occupied a few minutes and
the cruiser, after wishing us ‘Good
Morning,’ and plenty of fishing, dis
appeared in the darkness.”

EU ROPE A N GOV ER N M ENT TO
ATTEND EXPOSITION
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 7.—Early
in August in response to inquiries
from all parts of the globe, the mana
gement of the Panama-Pacific Inter
national Exposition announced that
the exposition would not be postponed.
The development of events since that
time, in their relation to the exposi
tion, all tends to confirm the wisdom
of that original decision. When the
decision was made no word hed been
received from any European nation
as to what effect the European war
would have upon its plans. In the
last six weeks, however, it has become
evident that many European nations
will be represented at San Francisco.
So rapid has been the progress in
the construction of the city of foreign !
governments pavilions and palaces to
the west and south of te Palace of
Fine Arts during the first six weeks j
of the European war that each of
them appears to be making an extra
effort to surpass its neighbors. Of
the 40 foreign governments which
have committed themselves to partici
pate, not one has withdrawn. On the;
contrary many have applied for more
exhibit space and some have greatly (
increased ihcir appropriations. Spain,
France, Italy, Holland, Japan, China,
Sweden and other nations in the war
zone have officially notified the ex
position that they will proceed with
their buildings or exhibits despite the
war.
LONDON—The clash of war among
the nations of Europe has not modi
fied the views of the supporters of the
Channel tunnel scheme whose desire
to build a tunnel from Dover to Cal
ais has been blocked for years by the
military authorities on the ground
that it would destroy England’s in
sularity. *
Several Peers and members of Par
liament who have for long shown an
interest in the scheme declare that
instead of proving of assistance to
the enemy, a channel tunnel would
have been of supreme assistance in
transporting the British Army.
They declare they will continue the
advocacy of the tunnel at the end of
the war. The precautions suggested
to prevent the tunnel being made use
of for an invasion of England include
the flooding of a dip in the tunnel, j
commanding exits with guns that i
could not be silenced from the sea, j
and an electric button that might
touch off an explosion to destroy a
part of the tunnel if necessary.
