LONDON, Nov. 10. So far as known
the German cruiser Emtlcn had cap
.Ured, sunk or driven ashore 2-1 ves
sels In her raids on Allies' ships In
tho Pacific Ocean. The 21 ships aro as
follows:

Not Including tho TumorickU.e Pon
rabble and tho two unnamed ships,
tonnage of which nro not known, tho
victims of the Emden represented a
total tonnage of K,0G5 and a. valuo of
more than J10,000,000.
LONDON, Nov. 9.
The cruiser Emdon, German terror of
tho East, whoso sensational falds on
British shipping and even on allied war
ships have been a constant source of
humiliation to thp British Admiralty, has
been destroyed. Finally forced into bat
tle by the Australian cruiser Sydney, the
Emden was sent aBhoro on fire from
stem to stern. Her grave Is on the Cocos
(or Keeling) Islands, In the Indian Ocean
southwest of Sumatra, where she was
driven by tho Sydney after a sharp fight
KOENIGSBEBG BUN DOWN.
The news of tho destruction of tho
Emden was announced by the Admiralty
today. Almost at tho same time came
word of another British victory on the
ca, when it was announced that tho
German protected cruiser Koenigsberg
had been driven Into the mouth of tho
ItuflJI Illcr In German East Africa. The
Bittlsh cruiser Chatham ran down tho
Koenigsberg, and tho Admiralty declared
tho German vessel had been bdttlcd up.
The destruction of tho Emden, which
caused great rejoicing here, followed a
chase. In which the Sydney, heavier and
more formidable than her opponent, also
showed greater speed.
Unofficial advices reaching here declare
that Captain von Muller and a majority
of the crew of the Emden nre believed
to have been saved.
The Sydney, which was one. of the 70
warships that wero on the trail of tho
Emden, came upon the German cruiser
early yesterday. Tho Emden tried to
escape from the Australian warship, but
the Sydney proved too epeedy.
FOnCED TO GIVE BATTLE.
The Sydney opened Uro upon the Ger
man ship and the latter, being unable to
outdistance her rival, stood by off Keel
ing, in the Cocos group, giving battle.
After a sharp fight, In which the Emden
was badly damaged by the Sydney's
shells, the former was run ashore.
Tho Emden had been set afire by Are
shells and was burning briskly when she
was beached.
Tho Sydney fired a few moro shells Into
tho stranded German ship and then drew
oft.
Tho casualties on the Sydney were three
killed and 15 wounded.
HEAVY LOSS ON EMDEN.
It Is believed here that the loss of life
aboard tho Emden must have been heavy.
Sho carried a crew of 321 men. In the
destruction of the German vessel the
sinking of tho Russian cruiser Zemtchug
ond tho French destroyer Mousquet on
October 2S, at Penang, has been avenged.
On that date the Emden entered tho har
bor, flying the Japanese flag and tor
redoed the two warships.
The Emden'H career has been the most
picturesque in the Kaiser's navy. Com
manded by Captain Karl von Muller, she
Jias swept the Pacific, capturing or Blnk
lng moro than a score of merchant ves
sels of the allied nations.
Coming on the heels of the stirring war
apeeches of Lord Kitchener and Winston
Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty,
tho feat of the Sydney In destroying the
Emden roused London to a fever of en
thusiasm today. Tho cry now Is that the
Good Hope and Monmouth must be
avenged.
PLAY13D HAVOC WITH SHIPPING.
The Emden had played havoc with Brit
ish, mercantile vessels and had eluded all
efforts of the British and Australian navy
to capture her until this meeting with the
Sydney. Of the 48 British vessels de
etroyed, from the beginning of the war
up to the end of October, the. Emden Is
credited with having ended the course of
21, The vessels sunk had, an aggregate
value of W 000,000, exclusive of their car
goes.
The Emden began her activities against
the shipping of the Allies on August B,
when" she sank Uie steamship City of
Winchester In the Indian Ooean. Five.
days later she made a dash Into the Bay
of Bengal and destroyed two more Brit
ish, ships. By September U she had sent
Svq more British merchantmen t0 (he
Htom.
On September 14 the Emden went out
injo me inaian ucean again and sank
thjtfe British ships In one day. By Sep
tember 20 she had added a collier, o,
dredge and another steamship to- her list.
Qn Septomber 23 she bombarded the city
of Madras, but slipped away when the
forf? answered her fire. Two vessels
wejwi sunk by her on September t6 and
another one the next day.

ALLIES ADVANCE
AS NEW FORCES
GRIP IN BATTLE
German Attacks Repulsed
and Franco-British Lines
Pushed Forward in Fierce
Fighting in Dense Fogs.
Hattling desperately in dense fogs,
which have caused such confusion in
the ranks that both armies have at
times fired upon their own men, the
Allies have repulsed the German at
tacks and have advanced at several
points in the face of tremendous fire
from the Germans' big guns. Both
sides have received reinforcements,
and the fresh troops are being hurled
into the foremost ranks.
Ypres, one of the chief points of
attack, lias been set on fire by the
German shells, and other towns along
the battle line are burning.
The official statement made in Paris
this afternoon says that between
Rheims and Berry-att-Bac and also in
the Vosges attacks by the Germans
have been repulsed and that the Al-lies'-lines
have been slightly advanced
at several points.
Cracow again is under Russian as
sault. Heavy artillery is pounding
at the outer line of forts and the
Cossacks are sweeping the surround
ing country. This marks a fresh en
try of Russia into Germany, as Cra
cow is the key to Silesia. The Aus
trians are reported in a rout in the
vicinity of the San.
AH zones of contact between Rus
sians and Germans arc now reported
by Petrograd as in the Kaiser's ter--itory.
The province of Posen has
been penetrated further by the Czar.
Shabats, an important town of
Scrvia, on tli,Save River, was bom
barded by the Austrians, who were
forced to cease attacks after a 12
hour artillery duel.
Ensigns of Japan and Great Britain
now float over the German citadel of
Tsing-Tao, into which the Allied
forces made triumphant entry today.
SiXj hundred thousand Russians are
pressing nacK me xurK cavalry in a
rapid invasion of Armenia.
Bedouin raiders have attacked the
Italian fortress of Slonta, in Cyrene.
They were repulsed. An Italian of

assault followed operations of Sun
day, in which Italian store trains were
seized by- the Turkish raiders.
Whether or not these moves in Africa
will provoke Italy to war with Turkey

WOMEN WORKERS.
VIEWED AS EACTOR
IN UNION LABOR
Report to American Federa
tion Convention Urges Im
portance of Their Organi
zation. The second session of the 31th annual
convention of the American Federation
of Labor, In Horticultural Hall, this
mornlnc. was devtoed entirely to reports
of committees. Those which reported
were: Committee on Credentials, Com
mittee on Rules, and Auditing1 Committee.
A striking' fact In the report of the
Committee on Women's OrRanlzatlon
was that during1 the past year a cent was
contributed by 1.167,591 members for tho
special work of organizing the women
workers of the country under the ban
ners of the American Federation of
Labor.
"The American Federation of Labor has
not been unmindful of the organization
of women workers," saya the report In
this matter. "It has been necessary for
women to enter many fields of Industry,
where they work side by side with men.
Unless they are organized they constitute
a direct menace to the Improved con
ditions In that Industry which men have
secured through organization. Unorganiz
ed workers anywhere constitute an In
direct or a potential danger to better
conditions which organizations have se
cured for organized workers.
'Training and customs of centuries have
made most women mora blghly individ
ualistic than men In their Ideals and
practices. Women remained In their
homes long after factory production dis
placed heme production. They have been
later and slower In learning the lessons
that teach the necessity for united ac
tion for the protection of the workers.
Since women have gone Into the mills.
the factories and the shops, mdny have
not yet learned to look upon their work
as a permanent trade.
"Their work is casual labor whllo
they wait for what they have been
taught to regard the end tn life mar
ilage. For this reason women workers
as a rule accept conditions as they find
them and make little effort to bring
about Improvements."
The convention was addressed this
morning by Dr. Charles J Hatfield, ex
ecutive secretary fo,r tho Study and Pre
vention of Tuberculosis. Dr. JUttteld
told of the work accomplished by tho
society and thanked, the A.- F. of L. for
the suppo'rt it gave the society through
its national office, the 'State federations
and the hundreds of unions throughout
the country.

TRANSIT
TAYLOR DEFIES
UNION TRACTION
TO HOLD UP PLAN
Director, Accusing Company
of Denying a Necessity,
Warns of . City-owned
Competitive Transit System
Director Taylor's Ultimatum
to Union Traction Company
There Is no question about the city's
ability to establish recommended rapid
transit facilities.
There Is no question as to the city's
ability to have them equipped and
operated Independently If the Union
Traction Company persists In with
holding Its support.
What Is needed now to make the
program effective Is approval on the
part of the stockholders of the Union
Traction Company and on the part
)f .City Councils.
The city Is going to establish ade
quate rapid transit facilities.
Tha Union Traction Company stock
holders aro now in receipt of divi
dends equaling 17.15 per cent, on the
U'.SO paid In on their stock.
It would not be a hardship on the
Union Traction Company stock
holders, who are In receipt of a
rental of $1,800,000 per year, to turn
back one-half of that rental as an
additional Investment upon which
they would bo allowed 6 per cent.
If the city should be forced to
establish an Independent system of
municipally-owned, high-speed lines,
operated Independently In competition
with the existing sjstem, the Union
Traction Company stockholders would
find the earnings of their property
depleted to such an extent that the
pajment of such dividends could not
be continued.
If the Union Traction Company
stockholders fall to Indorse the transit
progrum, the Frankford and Wood
land avenue elevated lines may be
connected by a competitive Chestnut
street subway rather than by the use
of the present Market street subway.
Direct notice that Philadelphia will
build and operate its own high speed,
modern transit system, If the Union Trac
tion Company stockholders do not fall
In line with the transit development plan
without delay, has been served by Tran
sit njrctor A. Msrrltt Taylor, who today
reiterated his remarks cf last night be
fore the Traffic Club.
Director Tailor, In a snappy, straight-from,-the-shoulder
talk that bristled with
fasts, held up the Union Traction Com
pany as the one big obstacle to rapid
transit in this city. The Director pointed
out that extension wban eded to the
stating surface system was the only
burden put up to the Union Traction
Company. This conHtany, be said, mum

th people a necessity.

ship, the cruiser Tennessee.
Admiral Flske, chief of the Bureau of
Operations, Navy Department, stated that
Ave dnjs ago he sent a message to the

BIGGER NAVY APPROPRIATION
Saya Next Year's Budget Must Not
Exceed Present Amount.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. President
Wilson today said there would be no In
crease of naval appropriations for the
coming year.
The navy program, It Is understood,
ccntemplatea two battleships and the
usual quota of auxiliary craft. The ex
pressed opinion of Admiral Dewey and
tho General Board of the navy, that four
battleships were necessary and a large
number of submarines, apparently has
beer. Ignored by the framers of the pro
posed measure The President declined
to discuss the details of the drafts of
tho supply measures.
The only department that will be given
increased funds In the coming fiscal year
Is the Department of State, because of
the heavy expenses to which the depart
jnent was subjected by reason of the
war In Europe.
AH the other departments of the Gov
ernment, the President declared, would
receive amounts equal to or less than
they had operated on during the present
fiscal year. He was asked how the Gov
ernment could operate its numerous new
bureaus without Increasing expenditures,
but he declined to be drawn Into a dis
cussion of the budget.
