VICE ADMIRAL STURDEE

Vice Admiral Sturdee, the British
:ommander who destroyed the Ger
man fleet In the South Atlantic.
BRIEF WAR NEWS
Servia's successful counter offen
live against the Austrtaas, resulting
u the practical expulsion of the Aus
trian troops from Servian soil, was
Jie most important war development
luring the past week.
The success of the Servian army
sam as a result of the withdrawal
f several Austrian army corps to
block the invasion of Hungary by the
Russians. The Austrlans remaining
in Servia were too weak to withstand
the attack of the Serbs and were rout
id with great losses.
The Russians were driven out of
Hungary at the cost of disaster in
3ervta. Though the Russians were
iriven to the north of the Carpathi
tns they accomplished the purpose of
the Hungarian demonstration by 11b
trating Servia.
The Russian troops which bad been
lent into Hungary weakened th Slav
armies In central Poland at the same
time. The events of the week reveal
this as one of the reasons why the
Germans have progressed so near to
Warsaw. The bear sacrificed her own
defense to rescue her cub and Mar
shal von Hlndenberg seized the op
portunity to drlv his wedge Into th
bear's PolUh cava.
Although not accomplishing any re
mit of military importance, the Ger
mans were able to humiliate the Brit
ish navy by making a successful jour
ney of nearly 700 miles through wa
ters guarded by the Union Jack. The
escape of the raiders is all the more
exasperating to Great Britain because
three battle cruiser were in the at
tacking squadron. These capital ships
are a part of Germany's first line sea
strength and had they been destroyed
the victory would hav been of prime
Importance. Fog favored the Ger
mans, but splendid seamanship also
contributed to make this the most dar
ing exploit of the war.
In France and Belgium the allies
have made substantial progress dur
ing the week. Along a front of 70
miles, from Dixmude to Albert the
battle line has been moved forward by
distances varying from several bun-,
ired yards to nearly five miles. There
have been no such consistent gains
since the allies gained the battle of
the Aisne. .
Loss of Ship I Denied.
London. The Admiralty has Issued
a statement denying that any British
warships were lost during the recent
raid by a German squadron on the
east coast of England.
African Revolt Wanes.
Cape Town, via London. General
Louis Botha, Premier of the Union of
South Africa, considers the rebellion,
apart from the rounding up of a few
stray bands, is at an end.

Geneva, Switzerland. Statistics
showing that Germany has lost 1,200,
BOO men, killed, wounded and captur
ed, appeared in Swiss and German
newspapers.
Durum Wheat Brings $1.37.
Duluth. Durum wheat sold at $1.37

est price ever recorded for that grain.
Taft Raps Referendum.
Detroit "The initiative, the refer
endum and the recall are a complete
oegation of the representative system'
established by the Pilgrims and Puri
tans," declared ex-President Taft In
in address at the annual dinner of
the New England Society of Detroit.

x-presi(lent of the Cincinnati, Hamil
ton & Dayton railroad and wealthy

uings. Mr. Zimmerman was the father
