Battleship Cornwallis Is Lost
in Mediterranean and 13
i of Crew Are Missing.
SEAPLANE CARRIER GONE
Converted Merchantman Doing Ser
vice With Fleet la Victim of
IT-Boat Explosion Accom
panies Its Attack on Fighter.
LONDON. Jan. 11. The sinking . of
the British warship Cornwallis by a
submarine in the Mediterranean Tues
day was announced today by the Ad
miralty. The seaplane carrier Ben-My-Chree
also has been sunk.
Thirteen men from the Cornwallis are
missing and are believed to have been
killed by the explosion. .
The warship referred to apparently
is the British battleship Cornwallis of
14,000 tons. The last previous reports
showed that she was in service in the
Mediterranean.
There is also a Cornwallis in the Z
class, consisting of warships retired
from active service, but the fact that
she was sunk in the Mediterranean in
dicates that it is the battleship which
has been lost.
The battleship Cornwallis was laid
down in 1907. She was 405 feet long
and was armed with 4 12-inch, 12 six
inch and 12 three-inch guns, six three-
pounders and four torpedo tubes. Her
normal complement was 750 men.
The Ben-My-Chree was a. converted
merchantman of 2651 tons gross.
Progress of the War.
r -II EI Turks apparently are- receiving
A hard usage at the hands of the
British in the Mesopotamlan and Egyp
tian theaters. Following up their ad
vance northeast of Kut-el-Amara, on
the Tigris in Mesopotamia, early in the
week, the British have again attacked
and captured Turkish trenches on the
right bank of the river and inflicted
heavy casualties on the Ottomans.
On the Sinai Peninsula, 30 miles
northeast of El Arlsh, Egypt, six lines
or Turkish trenches in front of the
town of Kafa have been captured by
King George's men.
Hard fighting is still in progress in
the region of Riga, in northwest Rus
sia, but the exact situation is still
not clear owing to the divergent re
ports of the Russian and German war
offices. Petrograd asserts that the
Russians south of Lake Babit captured
a village near the town of Kalnzem
and repulsed German counter-attacks
farther east.
Berlin says that all Russian attacks
were completely repulsed. Admission
is made by Petrograd that the Russian
and Roumanian forces In Moldavia
have made further retirements in the
Oituz, Kassina. and -Suchitza regions,
but it is asserted that the Teutons
who crossed the Putna River north of
Fokshanl have been driven back across
the stream, suffering heavy casualties.
On the other fronts nothing hut
minor operations and artillery duels
have taken place. The British on the
front in France have at several points
penetrated the German trenches, in
flicting casualties on the defenders.
STOLEN VIOLIN RECOVERED
Valuable Instrument Taken From

LONDON, Jan. 11. The new British
oan was launched at a. great mass
meeting at Guild. Hall today, when the
Premier, David Lloyd George, supple
mented his appeal- for subscriptions
with a brief and conhdent review oi
the war situation, and Andrew Bonar
Law, Chancellor of the Exchequer, dis
cussed the financial end of the plan.
Tremendous enthusiasm was dis
played by the crowds of people. Sup
porting the principal speakers was an
enormous assemblage of statesmen and
commercial and financial leaders.
It was the Prime Minister s nrst puo-
ie encasement since he took his pres
ent office and as he has just returned
from the Rome conference, curiosity to
hear his speech outweighed even that
to learn the terms of the new loan,
which is commonly called the "win-the-
war loan."
Bonar Law Strikes Keynote.
Mr. Bonar Law explained the new
loan, which, briefly, gives the option
of a 5 per cent taxable loan at 9 o or a
tax compound loan at 4 per cent at par,
which apparently is liable only to a
super-tax. Both loans will be free of
ncome tax if held outside tne unnea
Kingdom.
The keynote of the meeting was to
be found in a phrase used by Mr. Bonar
Law. will it ever be said that this
country is willing to give its sons, not
its moneys
This was greeted with, re-ecnoing
cheers. The reception of Mr. Bonar
Law's statement seemed to predict the
ereat noDUlarity of the loan, but a still
greater reception awaited jvir. iiioya
George, whose report of the great con
fidence felt at the Korae conference in
ultimate victory aroused a storm of
cheers.
Hint of Forced Loan Given.
So also did his declaration that with
nroDer support ine entente armies
would cleave a road to victory aurins
1917 and that the allies had made clear
in their replies to Germany ana tne
United States that war was preferable
to Prussian domination over Europe.
"The arrogant Prussian caste. ne
said, "flung Great Britain's signature
to a treaty into the waste-paper basket
as if it were of no account. But they
now know the pride of tne land tney
treated with such insolent disdain.
Thev know it all now."
The Premier made an eloquent appeal
to the nation to subscribe to the new
loan, and it is believed his appeal is not
likelv to fall on deal ears aner me
plain hint from Mr. Bonar Law of a
forced loan, should tnis loan not anaiu
its object.

ASTORIA COUNCIL SPLITS
Noisy Session Held Over Question or
More Policemen.
ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 11. (Special)
A split in the City Council occurred
Monday night over Mayor Harley's rec
ommendation that three additional
members be added to the police force.
A majority report favored the appoint
ments, but a minority report opposed
it. A whirlwind of abuse followed, in
which several of the Councilmen par
ticipated. Profane language was used
freely, and a fight seemed likely, when
the Mayor rapped the obstreperous
lawmakers to order and instructed the
chief of police to remove any individ
ual who forgot his dignity.
The minority report was lost by a
tie vote, and the majority report was
referred back to the committee.
