Squadron in Chile
FIRST GIGANTIC
NAVAL BATTLE
English Cruiser Monmouth Sunk With :
Nearly All of Her Crew—Only I
Minor Damage to German Ships and
But Two Casualties
Valparaiso, Chile, Nov. 4. —The vic
tory of the German fleet, under Admiral
Von Spee, .consisting of the armored
i-ruisers Scharnhorst and Gmeiseuau and
the ligflit cruisers Nurnberg, Leipsic and
Breanen over the British squadron made
up of the cruisers Monmouth, Good Hope
and Glasgow and the transport Otranto,
commanded by Rear Admiral Cradock,
continues the sensation of the hour
here.
That the Germans were able to sink
or scatter the British sijuadrou with
only minor damage to their own ships
and a casualty list of only two wounded
is a subject of wonder.
The Monmouth is known to have been
lost with practically all of her irew, as
a result of this first hig naval light of
the c.ar; the Good Hope was severely
damaged and on tire when she escaped
under cover ot darkness and it is be
lieved her that •'he went to the bo Rom
while the Glasgow and the Otranto too'k
ict'uge in a Chilean port.
British Vessels Bottled
The Scharnhorst, Gweisenau and |
Vurniberg were >;ili in thp harbor early j
to-dav coaling and provisioning in rep- |
.■nation for steaming away later in the
day. It is supposed t'hey will relieve
the cruiser Leipsic and Bremen whi h
have the Glasgow anil Otranto bottled
up in the port of Talcahuauo, eight
miles northwest of ( an. opt ion. It would
sewn like madness for these British
ship? to leave this haven of refuge and
it is likely t'hat they will be dismantled
and interned unless a superior British
and Japanese fleet should make its ap
pearance and go to their relief.
Admiral Von Spee. in his official re
port of t'he battle whih took place Sun
day afternoon off the Chilean island of
St. Maria, says the action lasted only
an hour, being discontinued at night
fall when the British were forced to
give way.
Vessels Escape in Darkness
'"The Good Hope," he says, "was
then so badly damaged that she was un
able to resist and could only make her
efcea'p protected by the darkness.
"The Monmouth, under identical con
ditions, tried to escape -but v.as follow
ed by a small cruiser and was sunk
* witih a few shots. Owing to the hur
ricane tfnat was blowing no boats could
be lowered and consequently there was
a terrible loss of life."
The German admiral, in noting the
«s'ape of the Glasgow and the Otranto,
s<<ys it was due to their speed and the
darkness.
British Artillery Ineffective
Details of the fight picked up from
informal conversations with German of
ficers who came ashore from the war
ships show tihat. the Germans, owing to
the superior range of the guns on the
armored cruisers Se'haruhort and
Gneisenau, opened fire when six miles
away. As the ships closed and the
range came down to a distance of
four miles the British ships were able
to reply, but by that time they were al
ready seriously damaged. The Germans
• leclare that the British fought heroic
ally but that their artillery was inef
fective against the superior weight of
metal that tthe Germans were able to
pour from the more modern guns of the
armored cruisers. Tt is started, however,
that the light German cruisers pluckilv
closed in on the Britis'h and took part
in the battle. One of them, it appears
from the official report, gave the Mon
mouth her death blow, as crippled and
in flames, she tried to escape.
Correspondent Describes Sea Battle
London, Nov. 4, 4.45 A. M.—Tele
graphing from Yarmouth regarding the
raid made by a German squadron in t'he
North sea Tuesday, the correspondent of
the "Times" says:
"The whole of the crew of subma
rine D-o. which was sunk by a mine
dropped by a German cruiser, were lost
except two officers and two men. Four
men were saved from the drifer Fra
ternal, which was also sunk, but six of
her men were drowned. The mine
drifter Copius was also struck by a
mine about the same time as the others
and sank. Only one member of her crew
was saved and nine were drowned.
"The fight was so close the shore
that some of the shells dropped within
a mile of the beach one exploding with
in a few hundred yards of the naval
air station on the south side of Yar
mouth.
■'lt is believed here that the Ger
man raiding squadron intended to bom
bard the coast."
Story of Rescued Sailor
The correspondent of the " Daily
Mail" at Lowestoft gives the story of
a member of the crew of the British
Cruiser Halcyon, rescued by-the German
vessels. The sailor said:
"We left Yarmouth at six in the
morning and when about ten miles out
we met the German ship. We chal
lenged them but supposed they were
British as we did not expect to find the
Germans so near the coast.
"The only reply was a shot and soon
the shells were raining around us, the
Germans firing as rapidly as possible.
One shot wrecked the wheel house,
seriously injuring the helmsman and
another pierced the funnel. We were
hit about eight times and' considering
that we were covered with spray and
uuing at a good rate the gunnery of the
Germans were real good.
"Just before they elearei off one of
our rlestroyers ranie up antl put up a
s.reen of smoke from her funnels. The
Germans had trietl for 45 minutes to
sink us hut failed owing to the cap
tain's splendid seamanship.''

S. Whitman was elected to succeed Gov- j

by what bids fair to be a record vote, i
Whitman Leads by 150,000
As the late returns came in' Mr.
Whitman's plurality mounted steadily!
and early to-day it was estimated that i
he would win bv nearly 150,000.
Complete returns show the following j
Democrats elected to the Senate:
Oscar W Underwood, Alabama; M«r

Arkansas; Duncan U. Fletcher, Florida; 1
Hoke Smith (long term), Thomas W.

Incomplete returns indicate the clec- |
tion of the following Democrats to j
the Senate:
Benjamin F. Shively, Indiana; I
George K. Chamberlain, Oregon; Roger I
C. Sullivan. Illinois.
Republican U. S. Senators
Complete returns show the election 1
of the following Republicans to the i
Senate:
Frank B Brandegee, Connecticut:
James H. Brady, Idaho; Albert B. Cum-1
mins, Iowa; Jacob H. Gallinaer, New;
Hampshire; James W. Wadsworth, New !
York; Asle .1 Gronna. North Dakota; j
Warren (>. Harding, Ohio; Boies Pen-;
rose, Pennsylvania; William P. Dilling-]
ham. Vermont.
According to the early morning re- j
turns, the results of the Senatorial con-1
tests werp uncertain iu California, Colo-,
rado, Kansas and Nevada. In Califor-j
nia, Representative John li. Knowland, J
Republican; James B. Phelan, Demo- j
crat, former Mayor of San Francisco, |
anil Francis J. Honey, are candidates I
for the seat of Senator Perkins. No J
indication of the result had been re- J
reived in the early hours of the day, al-1
though the re-election of Governor j
Hiram Johnson gave the Progressive
leaders hope that the remainder of the j
California t'eket would be elected.
Latest returns from Colorado indi-|
i cated a strong Republican vote, both |
j for Governor and for Hubert Work, I
i Republican candidate for Senator.
I against Senator Charles S. Thomas, |
Democrat. Returns from Kansas show-;
ed former Senator Charles Curtis, Re- |
publican, loading with Victor Murdoch.;
Progressive, second, and George A.I
Neely, Democrat, running a close third.
The out -ome this morning was very j
uncertain.
Democrats Lose Senators
Administration leaders expressed
much concern over the indications in
the early returns from Nevada. Al
though no figures had been received j
reports were <that Samuel Piatt. Re- j
■ publican, had been elected to succeed j
Senator Francis G. Newlands. There j
(also were eariy morning reports that i
Senator Lawrence V. Sherman, of Illi-1
I nois, still had hope that returns from j
some of the country districts of Illi-!
nois would overcome the lead of Roger j
Sullivan. Should it develop that Suiii-i
' van, New lands and Thomas would be |
j defeated, the Democratic majority in
the Senate would be reduced to four.
At an early hour to-day returns from i
the i'ongressional districts in many 1
I States were incomplete. Actual returns j
] showed a Republican gain of fifty-four j
I House seats, which would make a dif-1
I terence of 10S in the House majority,
j provided later returns should not de
| velop Democratic gains. That would j
i reduce the present Democratic majority I
] of 14 1 to 33 There was everv indica-!
j tion, however, that this majority would I
jbe reduced still further. Republican j
triumphs not yet recorded were expect-1
ed in Illinois and other Middle Western!
and Western States. "Uncle Joe" Can-i
nou was elected to Congress in his Illi- j
nois district.
Oa the basis of actual returns the i
Republicans gained ten in New York;!
five in Connecticut; one in Delaware;
twelve in Michigan; two in Indiana;
one in Maryland; three in Massachu
setts; two in Michigan; two in New;
Hampshire; five in New Jersey; one in
New Mexico; one in Ohio; six in Penn-I
svlvania; one in Rhode Island; one in!
South Dakota, and one in West Vir
ginia.

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?
This question and "How to Prevent
Colds'' is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really a fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in Scott's Emulsion |
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. It contains nature's medicinal-"
fats, so skillfully prepared that tlic
blood profits from every drop, an'' it is
free from harmful drugs or alcob',l.

Myrkie-Harder Draw Big Crowds
Harrisburg theatregoers are parti

want they are not slow in showing
[ their approval as can be seen by the
j big crowd that turned out again for;
Tuesday's matinee and night perforin- j
anccs. This Myrkie-Harder Company is.
most deserving, as they not only pre
i sent pretty scenic production but have
a real experienced cast that woud be!
hard to duplicate, as every person seems
to fit right in their respective parts, j
! To-night "Stop Thief." A pyramid of,
1 thrills on a laughing platform exactly
1 describes "Stop Thief," the new play I
success which Myrkie-Harder will pre
sent at the Majestic. According to wide!
report it is one of the best of the many
so-called "crook" plays offered the'
amusement seekers since the vogue foi"
this style of entertainment became'
popular. "Stop Thief" comes to lis
with the stamp of a "hit" placed;
upon it by audiences in New York,
where the piece enjoyed nearly a year
of phenomenal prosperity. An irresis
table combination of laughing thrills
and suspense forms the appeal in the
farce, which is from the pen of Carlyle
Moore. It will supply you with some of j
the heartiest laughs imaginable and!
that's as good a recommendation as l
any one should expott. adv. j

At the Orpheum
The Orplieum's whole ticket was'
[elected too, so there's no one 'round I
1 there to go up salt river either. And I
! now that we are in for prosperity and |
1 good shows and are just as sure ot one (
as we are of the other, who carest
S There's only one thing that we do
know and that is that it will be well
nigh onto impossible for the Orpheum
management to send an aggregation of I
talent to Harrisburg that will eclipse;
I the attractions that are being present
■ ed there this week. Such clever artists, >
such varied and really diverting enter- j
! tainment would be hard indeed to sur-'
i pass. Interest is of course centered in
j the big headliner called "The bast |
Tango," that is magnificently staged, j
I beautifully .;ostumed and about the j
! best enacted playlet yet shown at the 1
I Orpheum. And its Parisian! It deals j
] with a romance, the scene of which is
laid in the summer garden in the rear |
| ot' a Parisian cafe, overlooking Paris.'
I Fletcher Norton, who is clever and in- j
] teresting as of vore. is an idol at the
i cafe, he is a general adventurer, and
ne'er do well and loved by a singer in I
I the cabarets ot' Paris. During the act-1
I tion of the piece an old sweetheart of I
; his appears and as they dance together,
; his new lov<* stabs and kills her. The 1
; police appear on the scene because of i
I a scream and in an effort to shield the i
j murderer, Mr. Norton dances with the |
; dead girl. The police seeing that no '
one is killed or hurt, leave. Plenty of 1
action, superb acting, gorgeous staging j
and a splendid cast, make "The Last |
! Tango" the best playlet the Orpheum I
has hail this season. The Orpheum's en- i
1 tire bill is unusually clever and de-1
serves capacity audiences all week.
