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.

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.
