Routed by Germans at Supposedly

Tho official press bureau has made

"In East Africa, It appears from the

were In much superior strength, the force
was compelled to fall back and await re

In spite of heavy casualties, the 101st

"The North Lancashire Regiment and
the Cnsmlr Rifles on the right, pushed on
In support, and under a heavy fire also
reached tho town. They found them

DOOM OF WARSHIPS
SEEN IN LATEST OF
SUBMARINE TYPES
Dreadnoughts, Even of Most
Powerful Build, Cannot
Cope With Hidden Foe
Able to Take Long Cruise.
By A NAVAL EXPERT
KEW YORK, Nov. 2t.-The sinking of
thn British superdrendnought Audacious
by the oxploslon of a Whitehead torpedo
fired from a submnrlne only confirms my
herctoforo published statements thnt no
surfneo vessel can wlthstnnd tho attack
of a Whitehead torpedo or mine, it nlso
proves that tho maintenance of a cIorc
blockade of one country's ports by nn
other Is impossible. It further proves
that It wilt bo Impossible for Kngland or
any other country longer to claim to be
"mistress of tho seas," because subma
rine boats aro rapidly being developed
with sujfficlent rndlus of action to chnso
and attack battleships on tho high seas.
I think the report that the submarine
which sank the Audacious was accom
panied by n mother ship was an error. If
the Germans have In commission some of
their 1912 or 1913 authorized class ot sub
marines they could rendlly have mndo a
cruise ns far as Lough Swllly and return
without n mother ship. Our Intest boats
of about the same size have a radius of
action of over 6000 miles at a speed of
It knots. A vessel o this typo would
therefore bo nblo to stenm from any of
tho Gcrmnn ports nnd talto up a posi
tion off any harbor or base which the
English might establish, either on the
English Channel or on the west coast of
Englnnd or Scotland.
If these vessels are fitted with anchors
so they could romaln at nnohor In a
buoyant condition, or with cushioned bot
tom wheels so they can He at rest or
navigate on tho bottom, they could have
renched Lough Swllly and have remained
on station for a month at a tlmo If neces
sary, awaiting opportunity to get within
sufficient close range to fire their torpe
does. I learned several months before war
was declared that Krupp had a large
number of Diesel engines under construc
tion (over 60), some of them of largo size.
This would lndlcato that 30 or more sub
marines wero then rapidly nearlng com
pletion. I therefore have no doubt that from
now on we will continue to hear of the
loss of England's capital ships unless
they withdraw them into land locked har
bors or keep them far away from tho
coast lines where thoy cannot bo located
by the Germans.
The only thing1 England enn do Is to fit
hor own submarines with bottom wheels,
anchor weights nnd mine detectors and
evading apparatus and mnko good Win
ston Churchill's threat "to dig tho Ger
mans out" or keep off tho German har
bors and keep their capital ships also
bottled up.
It appears the Germans, who arc the
great national students of new methods
of warfare, are rapidly getting Into the
position to carry out their desire as ex
pressed to mo by Admiral von Tlrpltz
several years ago at tho time I submitted
to them plans of the first cruiser typo of
submarine. The Admiral told me that
thoy wero more Interested In boats for
offensive purposes against a foreign coun
try than they wero In the defensive class.
At that time the failure to get a satis
factory engine prevented the construction
of such large vessels, but that difficulty Is
being rapidly overcome, and I expect
within the noxt two years we will be able
to build submarines equaling or exceed
ing battleship speed and radius of action.

between Plock nnd Lodz. Tho Russians
are evidently planning an ndvance north
west from Ncu Sandcc, ono directly west
from Tarnow nnd one southwest out of
Poland. They aro also still fighting at
Czunstoobrwa, near tho Slleslnn border,
nnd a victory there would cuablo them to
move straight south and Invest Cracow
from tho renr.
A great success by General von Hlnden
burg In tho north would, of course, de
lay tho Investment of Cracow, If von
Hlndenburg can again threaten Warsaw,
after defeating tho Russian right wing,
tho Russjun ccntro In Poland Will havo

heavily on von HlndenbUrg'a otratcsy
and his energy ns a fighter.
The Russians havo held Lemberg for
nearly three months and their- armies
are now lighting nt points 150 to 200 miles
west of Lemberg. It Is logical to risk
the prediction that the' evacuation of
Cracow is only n question of time.

PETROGRAD. Nov. 2i.-The Germans
have abandoned their main purpose of
pressing the Russians along the hanks ot
the Bzurn. Toward their own nrtlllery
positions along tho frontier soUthwftnl
from Kallss the Germans now are on tne
defensive. ,
It Is learned that a new German army
under the cavalry leader, General von
Makkenscn, has been brought to help
General von Hlndenburg In the crucial
struggle, Makkenscn's army comprises
two nrmy corps,
A great battle which will decldo the fate
of East Prussia Is rapidly developing.
German cnvnlry suffered ft disaster at D0
vlaten In attempting to strike tho right
flank of the Russian forces moving aerosa
tho Masurian Lakes. The Germans now
aro concentrating nil their strength on
the claborato position in the region of
Bnrkehmen, south of Insterburg.
"Thoso Inl.nbltnnts who ftave not fled

announce that trains with German nnd
Austrian oftlcer prisoners nro now passing

places. The Germann are locked In.
