SUBMARINE SINKS CRUISER
British Vessel Caught Alone and De
stroyed by German.
London. The enterprise of German
submarines, which have been lurking
along the French coast on the Straits
of Dover, seeking to get a shot at Brit
ish ships engaged in bombarding the
German positions in Belgium waa re
warded when one of them attacked
and sank the light cruiser Hermes as
she was returning from Dunkirk. The
greater part of the crew was rescued.
The Hermes was a comparatively
old vessel and from a naval viewpoint
was of no great value, but the fact
that she was attacked so near home
indicates that the German submarines
must have a base somewhere on the
part of the Belgian coast w hich is oc
cupied by the German troops, from
which they menace ships of the allies
passing between England and France.
German Cruiser's Ruse Succeeds.
Toklo. The Russian cruiser Jem-
tchug and a French destroyer have
been sunk in the harbor of Penang
by the German cruiser Emden, which

ese flag and carrying a dummy funnel

received by the British embassy here.
Penang is a British possession 1b the
Straits Settlements.

DRYS CLAIM OREGON
They 8ay Victory Is Theirs By a
Majority of 12,000.
Portland, Or. The prohibition for
ces are claiming 12,000 majority.
Scattering returns seemed to Indicate
that the country precincts would de
liver a large vote for-the drys, while
many towns and county seats were
reporting strongly against the wets.
One of the surprising features was
the apparently close vote In Multno
mah, Clatsop and Wasco counties,
where it had been expected the wets
would show their heaviest strength.
According to returns received at the
headquarters of the Committee of One
Hundred, which hud charge of the dry
campaign, gr.ins were being made
where least expected and It was de
clared that If the proportion of gains
continued a big majority for the drys
was certain.
The towns of Coquille, Newport, To
ledo, Bend, Tillamook and Troutdule
were giving a majority for prohibition,
while the returns showed a cloBe vote
In St. Helens, Oregon City and The
Dalles. Nearly all the Willamette val
ley towns were expected to Rive a prs
ponderance of dry votes. There was
strong Indication that eastern Oregon
would deliver a substantial majority
for the drys.
