LONDON, Nov. 3.
One German cruiser and ten armed patrol
boats sunk told the story of a British sea
victory announced today by the Admiralty
from the North Sea.
According to Copenhagen dispatches de
scribing the action, tho German auxiliary
cruiser sunk was the Marie of Flensburg
(or Flemborg), 3000 tons. Sho was literally
overwhelmed by the deadly accuracy nnd
rapidity of the British Are and sank aflame
ten minutes after starting tho' engagement.
Her commander, Captain Lauterbach,
was one of the seven German survivors
brought Into Copenhagen wounded.
"My vessel's four guns were almost un
workable because of the hall of Are which
the enemy destroyers centered on us," he
declared. "We were soon a mass of flames."
The Admiralty statement located tho sea
battle occurring In the Cattegat, Just ad
jacent to tho Skagerrak, where "was fought
the famous Battle of Jutland earlier In tho
war,
-Copenhagen placed It still more definitely
M occurring twelve miles north of Kullen,
or to the north of Gothenburg.
The loss of life on the German vessels
must have been very great. Copenhagen
reported the seven survivors landed there
htd said thirty of their crew of eighty-one
aboard the cruiser were killed outright.
The British Admiralty mentioned sixty
four prisoners having been taken.
The British squadron suffered no losses,
it was officially stated. Tho British fleet
was referred to as "our naval forces operat
ing In the Cattegat."
CQPENHAGKN, Nov. 3.

ers td Real Facts
Former Transit Director A. Merrltt Tay
lor Issued a statement this afternoon de
nouncing n pnmphlet bolng circulated In
West Philadelphia today by backers of the
fifty-fifty ticket as a "trick of a pickpocket"
wUo Is trying to blame another for what
he has done.
After denouncing a lies statements In
tho pamphlet, Mr. Taylor charged that the
amendments to the Sinlth-JIltten transit
lease prepared by the sis attorneys who
supported his criticisms of the lease, have
been submitted to the officials of the transit
company by tln present administration and
that the Mayor ml his followers are en
deaoring to keep secret until after election
the fact that the company will not accept
thr-3 amendments
Mr. Tajlor's btatcment follows:
"This morning West Philadelphia Is being
Hooded with printed pamphlets headed,
'West Philadelphia Republican Council
manic Association.'
"This pamphlet Informs citizens that the
political Issue la 'transit schemers and
gamblers In real estate against the trolley
rider's that If citizens want high - speed
transit for a universal five-cent fare, they
should vote the Republican ticket nnd It
they want high carfares, a permanent
elKht-cent exchange ticket and an Increased
tax rate they should vote the Town Sleet
ing ticket.
"It Is the well-known practlco of pick
pockets and criminals to cover up and
escape by accusing others of their crimes.
So-called Republicans have adopted thes
tactics In their last desperato effort to dis
claim their responsibility for the Smith-
'MlttrgtfUBlZ&fai4Wn fiWiti nr'ijisjV'P
EXPOSE OF LEASE
"It Is well known that I exposed the faet
that the Smith-Mitten lease would have
continued the Illegally discriminatory ex
change tickets, and that It would have Im
posed upon street railway passengers aa
obligation to pay, through excessive car
fares :
(a) Fifty dollars a share for the en
tire capital stock of the Philadelphia
Rapid Transit Company, which Is now
selling at J26 a share
(b) A guaranteed dividend of S per
cent to tho Philadelphia Rapid Transit
Company stockholders.
to To repay to the city tho entire cost
of construction of its high-speed lines.
"No wonder they want to escape this
nerlous charge, which was backed up by
six of the foremost attorneys In Philadel
phia. The attorneys who have been back
ing up my efforts to secure a fair and
squari deal for the city from the transit
company prepared amendments to th
Smlth-Mltten lease which would have elim
inated these objectionable features.
CONCEALING THE FACTS
"These amendments have been submitted
by tho Smith administration to the P. R.
T. Company, which has declined to agree
to them.
"This fact Is not publicly known, but
I deliberately charge that It Is true, and
that It Is being concealed from ,the citizens
of Philadelphia until after election.
"The only way we can expect to get a
square deal for the street railway pas
sengers In Philadelphia is by driving out
of office men who aro controlled by the
contractors and corporations and by put
ting in their places the men who have been
selected by a great town meeting of un
controlled citizens to govern Philadelphia,
for Phlladelphlans."
