BRITANNIA MUST
RULE THE WAVES,
ALL ENGLAND CRIES
Loss of Hawke Starts Criti
cism of Admiralty's In
ability to Check Daring
Raids of German Sub
marines. By ED L. KEEN
LONDON, Oct. 17.
All England demands revenge. The of
ficial announcement that another British
cruiser had fallen victim to a torpedo,
hurled by a German submarine, stirred
the nation to Its depths. Tho Iosb of the
Hawke, with virtually all her crew, Is
In Itself no eerlous disaster to Britain's
sea strength There are plenty of war
craft ready to commission to take her
place But tho almost uninterrupted
scries of successes of tho Gorman sub
marines, which seem to be able to go
whero they please, unchecked by the
British destroers or torpedo craft, has
started a chorus of crltlclBtn of the Ad
miralty that only a stern blow, with re
sultant success, can check.
While details of the loss of tho Hawko
aro withheld, the very fact that her sur
vivors were landed at Aberdeen would
indicate that It took place far from the
German coast and very close to a British
naval base Bccauso of this fact tho
bewilderment grows. "Where is the Brit
ish fleet?" now Is the question on every
one's lips this evening But it Is a ques
tion that for strategical reasons must go
unanswered
At the Admiralty no comment was ob
tainable on the latest German move But
the chiefs there made It very plain by
their attitude that England would reply
In ItB own way, and It will not be greatly
surprising If news was soon forthcoming
of a British naval move that will balance
the now greatly one-sided scale.
The general situation Is described as ex
cellent. The uprising In South Africa
rapidly Is being stamped out Reports
received by cable from Premier Botha
state that the at my Is absolutely loyal,
that all persons suspected of nntl-Brlt-Ish
sentiments arc being arrested as rap
Idlv as thev can be located, and that
It will be possible to rescind tho martial
law order In the near futuio. Brigadier
General Lukcns, who is In charge of the
operations against the Germans In Ger
man Southwest Africa, reports that the
Germans have withdrawn B0 miles Inside
of their frontier, leaving a wide space
of desert. In which all water holes have
been polluted The Germans are acting
entirely on the defensive, and their ulti
mate defent Is considered a certainty.
In France the Germans slowly are being
driven back and arrangements have been
made to prevent their taking Dunkirk,
Calais and Boulogne.
tn Belgium the situation Is hidden un
der a cloud of censorship, and there Is
no confirmation of the unofficial reports
that Ostend now is held by the Germans,
although It is generally accepted as true
WILD ANIMAL MARKET

LONDON, Oct 17 A dispatch to the

The firm had a contract for the deliv

So persistent were the reports that tho

of any further operations by German sub
marines had been received here since yes
terday's announcement that the cruiser
Hawke had been sunk. Tho Admiralty

out foundation
Despite the denial from the Admiralty,
the report that disaster had overwhelmed
the Invincible and Terrible continued to
circulate, and at 1.15 this afternoon tho
bureau Issued tho following supplemen
tary announcement:
There Is no truth whatever In the
rumors that any vessels of the navy
have met disasters other than those
abi.ut which official announcement al
