JAPANESE CRUISER SUNK BY MINE IN KIAO-CHOW BAY; 271 OF CREW PERISH One Officer and Twelve Men of the Takachicho All That Were Saved of the War Ves sel's Complement of 300 Men, According to Official Report—Austrian Submarine Reported Sunk in the Adriatic To-day by a French Cruiser —Allies 9 Fleet Again Starts the Bombardment of the Forts at Cattaro Tokio, Oct. 19, 5.30 P. M.—lt is •fficially announced that the Japanese cruiser Takachiho was sunk by a mine in Kiao-Chow bay on the night of October 17. One officer and eleven members of the crew are known to have been saved. The Takachiho was on patrol duty outside Tsing Tau when she fouled the mine. The Japanese destroyers heard the explosion and saw the flames that resulted. They hur ried to the assistance of the cruiser which, however, dis appeared quickly and in the darkness it was possible to rescue only twelve men. Twenty-eight officers, 54 non commissioned officers and 189 seamen perished. The Japanese cruiser Takachiho was built in 1885 and refitted in 1900. She was a vessel of 3,700 tons and was 300 feet long and had 46 feet beam. Her main battery con sisted of eight 6-inch guns and her speed was about 18 knots. She carried a crew of 300 men, only twelve of whom, according to the official report, are known to have been saved. AUSTRIAN SUBMARINE SUNK Cettinje, Montenegro, Oct. 19, va London, 1.46 P. M.— An Austrian submarine was sunk in the Adriatic to-day by a French cruiser. Two submarine vessels went out from the bay of Cattaro to attack a French fleet, which was making its way along the Dalmatia coast. They were quickly sighted, however, by the French who took aim and sent one of them, the leader, to the bottom. The other submarine escaped. The French fleet subsequently recommenced the bom bardment of the forts at Cattaro. An Austrian areoplane dropped several bombs in the neighborhood of the fleet but no damage was done. A struggle for the possession of the strip of French seacoast that is nearest to the shores of England was the most interesting phase of the war situation to-day. British naval forces are reported to have joined in the movement with the allies who are making a determined stand on the Belgian frontier against the westward drive <»f the German right wing. 1 lie exact battle lne is not known. This afternoon's official French statement says that the German artillery lias attacked without success "the front of Nieuport to Vladisloo. to the east of Dixmude." The allies, it adds, have advanced as far as Roulers and there has been sharp lighting on a front from La Basse to Ablain and St. Nazaire. Paris states that the allies are moving on Lille which Mas occupied by the Germans on October 13. An earlier dispatch from London stating that the Ger mans were bombarding Lille may have referred to events prior to October 13 and been delayed in transmission from France to London. There is nothing from Berlin to reveal the position of the (iermans that are contending for the coast line. There is no doubt, however, that they are bound for Dunkirk and < alais and are prepared to meet a strong resistance. Rains that caused much suffering to the troops in France earlier in the campaign are falling again on the battlefield so continuously that great hardships result to the men and military maneuvers are made more difficult. Germans and Austrians have encountered bad weather in Russian Poland, heavy roads delaying the movement of their artillery. They claim, however, to be making progress along the \ istula. Petrograd asserts that the invasion has been definitely checked. Nothing is known definitely of the fate of Przemysl in Galicia but the best information is that it is still holding out against the Russians. Vienna asserts that.the siege of the city has failed. An Austrian submarine was sunk bv a French cruiser in the Adriatic to-day. Japan lost the cruiser Takachiho which struck a mine while patrolling off Tsing-Tau. Two hundred and sev enty-one officers and men perished. Additional Canadian troops were landed at Avon mouth, England, to-day. The Turkish government has refused the British de mand that the German crews be discharged from the cruisers Gbe ben and Breslau which Turkev bought from German v.

At the dinner hour the men who do not live in the immediate' vieinity, sought relief from the heat of the inid-day sun in nearby restau rants.

LEAVES A NICKEL BEHIND Jacob Sawyer's Establishment on Mar ket Square Opened and Entered, but Missing Goods Are Paid for in Good American Money The police are not worrying about the thief who boldly and within a I square of police headquarters entered | the peanut wagon on Market square I in front of Miller & Hades' stove, stole a pack of peanuts and left in return a new buffalo nickel. There is nobody to swear out a war ■ rant for the arrest of this person, al ' fhough it is a crime to break and enter, and that is what happened. Some time < between midnight Saturday and 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon somebody got hungry for a pack of peanuts and, seeing the* peanut stand handy, decided to get the peanuts. He wasn't a reg ular thief, just a man hungry for pea nuts, and lie paid for what he took. , Had he closed the door as he found ! it, the "loss'' would not have been dis ; covered until it was time to open shop I this moruing, but the door was not closed properly and it swung open yes | ferday afternoon, attracting the atten ; tion of a small boy, wno reported to I Policeman Wiesman, who investigated and found the nickel. The policeman sent for Jacob Saw i ver, 306 South Second street, owner of the stand, and fo ' his son-in-law, John . Tolmi, who closed up Saturday night. who took a complete inventory of the i stock. Kvorything was accounted for ! but a pack of peanuts, hei;ee the con- I elusion that the burglar was just i hungry for peanuts and had the money I to make the purchase, but no place to j buy them. i 'Mr. Sawyer is inclined to treat the ' affair as a joke, not as n crime against the iommon wealth. Re is not worry i ing and consequently the police are not worrying.
