Three British warships, the armored cruisers Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy, have been Slink in the North Sea by submarines, according to an ani nouncement given out by the official bureau. A considerable number of * the crews were saved by H. M. S. Lowestoft and by a division of tor-pedo-boat destroyers. Trawlers,and 1 their boats also aided in the work of rescue. The Aboukir was torpedoed first. The Hogu and the Cressy I drew in close to her and were standIng by to save her crew, when they were torpedoed. The warships lost were of the same type. AH telegraphic and telephone communication with Breslau has suddenly ceased. It is feared that the Russian center may have pushed forward and be attacking the city. An Antwerp dispatch to the Reuter Telegram company says the staff off General von Kluck, commander of the German right wing, was transferred to Mons, according to an uni confirmed report. The Belgian ret cruits of thd 1914 class have been f called to the colors. ' PARIS — The following official communique was issued: “The fighting today has been less violent. We have made noteworthy progress between Rheims and the Argonne ridge.” PARIS — Unless all signs fail, the beginning of the German retreat from France is in sight. i The government reports coincide with the opinion of military critics that all along the line German resistance is crumbling before the numbers and spirit of the allies.

BELGIAN RULER AND WIFE King Albert Shot Chauffeur When He Tried to Deliver Him to Foe. wwL a'- ■* PARIS — The newspaper Prog ret, du Nord prints as remarkable story to the effect that the king of the Belgians shot and killed his chauffeur who had tried to drive him into t£ German lines.

been able to maintain an offensive movement begun several days ago at critical points of the battle lines- - Noyon, Craonne, Rheims and the plains of Chalons. Their utmost power has been endured and repulsed by the forces under General Joffree. The perspective of the nine days’ fighting reveals that in a series of for key positions, where heights and entrenchments were taken and are taken, they were forced eventually to surrender ground. Allies Pay Fighting Cost. From every point of view, save one, the situation is cheering to the French nation. That one has to do with the dead. There is no denying that the battle of Aisne, if won, will be grained at frightful cost. From every point of the battle line, now 125 mites long in its main operations, comes the nev, s of enormous casualties. Germans Repulsed, Says Paris. PARIS — German troops were repulsed with heavy losses all along the battle front, of 150 miles. Desperate attacks near the center of the firing zone ended in defeat for the kais.er, leaving his right wing army exposed to the flanking maneuvers of the French and British, and compelling the crown prince on the German left to stand at bay before the French forces harassing his retreat. Fighting was most sanguinary near C a rone, where repeated bayonet charges by the Germans ended in their defeat. Bombardment of Rheims continued for four days and was without effect on the French battle lines. General Alexander Von Kluck, commanding the German right wing army, has been driven back to Noyon, north of the River Oise. The French have captured the heights at Lassigny, opposite Noyon. Both armies are greatly hampered in moving troops and cannon by the ceaseless rain of the last ten days. Mere than three million men have bten without shelter during this downpour and both sides are exhausted. In the Champagne country the French have gained ground, retaking several towns. On the eastern end of the battle line the situation is without significant change. All My Troops and Resources. LONDON — “All my troops and resources.” This is the latest offer of the Gaekwar of Baroda to the British government as announced by the secretary of state of India. Nearly all the Indian potentates have expressed a desire for personal service in the field. Jap Bombs Destroy Forts. PARIS — Telegraphing from Petrograd, a correspondent of the Havas agency says: “A dispatch received here from Vladivostok declares that Japanese aeroplanes, throwing bombs, have destroyed two of the important forts at Tsingtau.” British Cruisers After Germans. NEW YORK, — There was a persistent report in shipping circles that six of the fleet of British cruisers which have been patrolling North Atlantic waters have been ordered tc steam south at full speed to clear the South Atlantic of German cruisers recently active there. « [ Germans Quit Brussels. AMSTERDAM (via London), — According to a message which reached the Telegraaf, the troops of the German empire, who were in Brussels, have left that city for the French and Russian fronts. The army occu-; pying Brussels Is now Austrian, andt has with it seven heavy siege guns Jap Torpedo Boat Sunk. j PEKING. — Mail advices from fTsimoo state that the Japanese lost a 1 second torpedo boat outside KiauChau.

TORPEDO THREE BRITISH SHIPS England Suffers First Sea Reverse of War. GERMANS BLOW UP CRUISERS • Submarines, Presumably Operating Off Heligoland Bight, Send Aboukir, Hogne and Cressy to Bottom—Torpedoes Strike Two in Work of Rescuing Crew of Other. London, Sept. 23.—Out of a clear sky came the laconic announcement late in the afternoon that the Ger mans had struck another blow at the British sea supremacy. Three cruisers, their value totaling twelve million dollars and carrying a complement cf more than 2,100 men, were torpedoed and sunk in the North sea, off the Ge rman coast, by German submarines essaying a raid similar to that which sent the scout patrol cruiser Pathfinder to the bottom. These cruisers, the Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy, have been reported as very active in scouting close to the Helgoland Bight in an effort to locate the main German war fleet. Although the exact location of the disaster, the greatest of the war to date from the British standpoint, is withheld, there are evidences that it was not far from where the British cruiser squadron struck its first real blow against the Germans in sinking three light cruisers and two destroyers. Many of Crews Saved. Fortunately the loss of life is not absolute. The government says that a “considerable number” of the crew were picked up by destroyers and trawlers that hurried to the rescue. But the exact number of casualties wili not be obtainable until the list >d survivors can be completed/ IF is officially admitted, however, that it will be 'large, and among the number it is reported the most of the officers of the three big war ships. Submarine May Be sunk. Whether the submarines that caused the disaster escaped or whether, like the one which sunk the Pathfinder, they have also been sent to the bottom in their turn is not yet known. The bureau simply stated tnat the Aboukir, while engaged in patrol, was torpedoed by a submarine: that the Hogue and Cressy closed in to rescue the survivors then struggling in the water: that they in turn fell victims to the German submarines, and that a part of the crews had been rescued by the destroyers and trawlers, who, witnessing the tragedy from afar, had hurried to the rescue. » Aboukir First Sunk. The Aboukir, which was patrolling In the North se.a. was the first to be sunk when she was struck by a torpedo sent from a German submarine. The Hogue and the Cressy went to the rescue of the survivors, who were floating in the water. As they were lowering their boats the submarine of the enemv also ' launched torpedoes against the two cruisers, they also being sunk. The cruisers were almost blown to pieces, but fortunately there were many destroyers and trawlers near the scene, and they were rushed to the spot, picking up the men floating in the water. Description of Vessels. The war ships Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy are cruisers of the same type. Their tonnage, armament, etc., are identical. These vessels had a displacement of 12,000 tons, were 440 feet long and 69.5 feet wideband drew twenty-six feet of water. Each had a compliment of 755 men. including officers and crew. These cruisers had armaments consisting of two 9.2 inch guns, twelve 6 inch guns, twelve 12 pounders and five 3 pounders. The Aboukir and the Cressy were built at Govan in 1900 and the Hogue was Lt lit at Barrow in the same year. Two Submarines Sunk. Word has come from survivors of the wreck itself that two of the five German submarines that had slipped out from the German fleet and sank the British cruisers were in turn sunk by the Cressy before the Germans finally torpedoed and sunk the Cressy The news of the sinking of the two German boats came here fr >m Amsterdam.

1 - REAR ADMIRAL CHRISTIAN British Naval Officer Watching German Fleet. i A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR. Wednesday, Sept. 16.—The German aimy was fighting a defensive battle along its front from Noyon, c town on the Coise river, to a point north of Verdun.

Tw o Austrian armies in Galicia have effected a juncture at Rzesow, thirtytwo miles north of Przemysl. Thursday, Sept. 17.—Between 2.000,000 and 3,000,000 men are engaged in struggle that in ferocity and strategic Importance may rival the battle of the Marne, along a line of fifty-five n iles northeast of Paris, southwest to the Swiss frontier. Each side claims a slight advantage —and no more. In Galicia the Russian successes seem to be continued, with the Austrians and Germans falling back on Przemysl. Enormous losses to the Austrians are admitted at Vienna, to which city thousands of wounded are being brought. Friday, Sept. 18.—An official statement issued at Berlin says that the battle between the Oise and Meuse rivers continues with sure indications that |he allies are falling back. It is declared that the French attempt to cut through the German right wing failed and that a sortie from Verdun, on the right bank of the Meuse, was repulsed. Austrian advices report that the Servians have evacuated Semlin, the town which they seized when they began their invasion of Hungary. Servian reports are to the effect that their successes continue. The Germans, successful in driving the Russian invaders from East Prussia. are reported to be pushing their way into Russia Poland. The Austrian armies, following their disastrous clash with the Russian in Galicia, are believed to be attempting to form anew at Carcow. Saturday, Sept. 19.—A report from the German army headquarters, made public in Berlin announces German and Austrian successes in all theaters of the war. In France, it is declared, a decisive attack is being made north of Noyon; Beaumont has been stormed and 2,500 French have been captured: while counter attacks of the allies along the entire front have been rpulsed.

French still on the offensive with the ' Germans massing troops behind entrenchments for new counter attacks. Rheims was bombarded by the Germans and the ancient cathedral is in ruins. It is officially announced that the Japanese expeditionary land forces attacked the Germans thirty miles north of Kiaochau and defeated them. The Gerinans have abandoned a fortifed position and have fled in disorder. The Russians in Galicia continue their victories over the Austrians.
