GERMAN VICTORS
KILL ALL AT SEA
Ships Raked by Fire at Close
Range After Convoys Are
Put Out of Action.
ALL LIFEBOATS FIRED ON
Hoisting or White FIa Is Signal for
Fresh Fusillade and Swedish
Ship Is Among Victims,- Nor
wegian Papers Announce.
liONXKDN, Nov. 5. (By Canadian
Press.) An apalling story of cold
blooded massacres by Germans of
crews of British North Sea convoys in
a recent battle is told by the Norwegian
newspapers. Tha Tidenstegn said the
German cruisers were observed at 6
o'clock in the morning- and were
thought to be British vessels, but at 7
o'clock, when there was more light,
they suddenly began shooting and the
convoy was terrified to see the British
destroyer at the stern of the convey
begin to sink, although it fought to
the end. The German cruisers, after
signalling the vessels to stop, ad
vanced on each side of the convoy,
which they swept with all their guns
at a range of less than 200 yards.
The German destroyers came up and
helped to spread death and destruction
on the defenseless ships, shells falling
thick and fast. The Germans were not
content to sink the ships, but shelled
the lifeboats and every living thing
coming their way was mercilessly
slaughtered. The survivors owed their
lives to the high sea which was run
ning, making the boats a difficult
mark.
In the midst of the massacre another
British destroyer came up and imme
diately attacked, but was soon sunk
In the unequal struggle. The German
flotilla then cruised backward and for
ward along the sinking steamers, pour
ing a fresh and terrible rain of shells
at a range of 100 yards. One shell
went through the Swedish ship Wirn
dar. exploding in the lifeboat on the
other side and killing all its occupants,
14 men and three women. The other
lifeboat rowed back to rescue the cap
tain and two waitresses from the
wreck. A shell struck the boat and
killed five of her occupants, only the
mate escaping by swimming. The
Wirndar was now a mass of flames.
The two girls jumped into the sea and
were apparently drowned. The cap
tain was saved by clinging to the
wreckage. As the two women were
sinking an English ship hoisted the
white flag. The answer of the Ger
mans was a shot which killed them
both. Twelve men of another ship
had just got into the lifeboat when a
shell killed them all.

LONDON, Nov. 5. At a meeting in
Petrograd Saturday, reported in an Ex
change Telegraph dispatch, representa
tives of the whole Petrograd garrison
passed under the guidance and influ
ence of the Bolsheviki, the radical
pacifist group. There was great ex
citement in the city.
Leon Trotzky. president of the cen
tral executive committee of the Petro
grad Council of Soldiers' and Work
men's Delegates, spoke with great con
fidence, saying the soldiers' and work
men's delegates would come Into power
Sunday (yesterday). Many meetings
were organized by the Bolsheviki.
On the other hand, the Cossacks held
a religious procession, carrying the
cross and their banners and Inviting
the public to participate.
GERMAN SITUATION MIXED
Von Hertling's Administration Is
Looked Upon as Experiment.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. 6. Satisfaction
of the liberal elements of the German
population and press with the new ad
ministration in Germany is mixed and
half-way. It is balanced rather on the
assumption that Count von Hertling,
the Imperial Chancellor, is entering- of
fice as the representative of the ma
jority of Parliament than upon Von
Hertling's personality, and he evidently
will last only so long as he conducts
his administration as the representa
tive of the majority party.
Count von Hertling. notwithstanding
his age and previous record, has shown
pliability and elasticity toward the de
mands of the majority party which
were scarcely expected and the success
of the Von Hertling era will depend
largely on the ability of the Reichstag
majority to hold together and agree on
a policy which Von Hertling will be
willing and able to represent.
The Pan-German movement has an
swered the appointment of Von Hert
ling with a straight declaration of war,
based on his known and suspected at
titude on peace terms and the belief
that he is Inclined to make peace on
a basis which will permit later a rap
prochement with the western powers.
Count von Hertling's views on Bel
gium, however, are not those which
the entente powers are considered like
ly to accept. They were phrased to
appear that Belgium's anti-bellum pol
icy must be altered in favor of Ger
many, presumably by some checks in
consistent with its full Independence.
RUSSIAN'S ARE DRIVING TURKS
Reports From Various Points Show
Soldiers Still Fighting.
PETROGRAD. Nov. 8. In the region
of the Black Sea coast the Russians
have driven the Turks from their first
line and advanced in some places to
the third line, the War Office an
nounces. Large quantities of arms and
munitions were captured.
In the Keham region, southwest of
Eeyzingan, small Turkish detachments
attempted to take the offensive, but
were repulsed.
In the Belimur region Russian scouts
dispersed several parties of Kurds.
On the northern front the fusillades
attained a certain intensity in the
Dvinsk region. In the sector west of
Lake Svonten the enemy opened a vio
lent artillery fire. '
On the western, southwestern and
Roumanian fronts there were fusillades
and scouting operations.
Measures to curtail the activities of
medical organizations, including the
Red Cross, have been undertaken at
army headquarters to eliminate all
those whose employment is not abso
lutely necessary. This action was be
cause of the difficulty in obtaining the
food supply.
No further passports will be issued
to Russians who desire to leave the
country, says the Novoe Vremya.

Prisoner Result of Saturday's
Raid on American Trench.
(By the Associated Pres.
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Nov. 6. A small detachment
of American infantrymen was attacked
in the front-line trenches early Sat
urday morning by a much superior
force of the German shock troops. The
Americans were cut off from relief by
the heavy barrage in their rear. They
fought gallantly until overwhelmed,
solely by numbers.
The fighting In the trenches was
hand-to-hand. It was brief and fierce
in the extreme.
As a result of the encounter three
Americans were killed and five wound
ed. A Sergeant and two corporals and
nine men were taken prisoner.
Two French soldiers, who were in
the trenches, also were killed. The
enemy lost some men, but the number
Is unknown, as their dead and wounded
were carried off by the retiring Germans.
From the beginning of the engage
ment until the end the Americana lived
up to all the traditions of the Ameri
can Army, the records showing the
bravery of the detachment and of sev
ral members.

The list was accompanied by the fol
lowing announcement:
"The War Pepartment has received a
dispatch from the commanding general
of the American expeditionary forces
which states that before daylight No
vember 3 a salient occupied for instruc
tion by a company of American in
fantry was raided by Germans. The
enemy put down a heavy barrage fire,
cutting off the salient from the rest
of the line. Our losses were three
killed, five wounded and 12 captured or
missing. The enemy's losses are not
known. One wounded German was
taken prisoner."
The general practice of trench raid
ing all along the front seems to offer
a possible explanation for the sur
render of the captured 12. It has
been customary for French, British or
German raids to be carried out with an
intense barrage fire used to isolate the
small sector of the enemy line which
it was planned to invade. As addi
tional protection for the raiders, the
artillery fire has covered a far wider
portion of the front than that which
constituted the real objective of the
raid. The object of the fire is to con
ceal from the defenders the exact point
of attack until the raiders arrive there.
20 Men Probably Aloae.
Presumably the American trench
raided was an advance post, with only
20 men in it. It could not have had a
front of more than 50 or 60 feet. Pos
sibly it was the bead of a sap driven
out into No Man's Land at right angles
with the general trench line, to be used
as a listening and observation post. In
that case the barrage fire of a few
guns could cut the sector off absolute
ly from Its support. The thin line of
the communicating trench would be
unpassable under a shrapnel shower.
