GERMANS LOST 2,000 IN SEA FIGHT British Naval Victory in South Atlantic Is Chief Topic of Dis cussion in London A COMPARISON OF SEA BATTLES In All Naval Engagements of Present War Thus Far There Is a Great Disparity Between Losses of Vic tor and Vanquished Lcwdon. Dec. 10.—The British r.avy has square*! the aooount with Admiral Count von !>pee. In the most important cava! eng»gemen t in point of guus and yet fought in the war. Vice Admiral Sir Frederick C. D. Stur dee's cruiser squadron yesterday en gaged near the Falkland Islands the German squadron of Admiral von Spee, sank his flagship, the armored cruieer, Scbarnhorsi, of 11,800 tons; a sister ship, the Gneisenau, and the light cruiser Leipzig, of 3,250 tons. The light cruisers Xurnberg and Dresde® escaped and are being pur sued by the victorious Brinish fleet. Two colliers attached to the Geirman fleet were capture*!. Admiralty's Offlcial Statement The official statement of the ad miralty. published by the press bureau last nigiu says some survivors of tae t?n«senaa and Lerpiig were rwouod. No men ton is made of any survivors of the flagship Sehamhorst. and it is believed Admiral von Sj«e went down witii his ship. The compiacements oi tae Scharnhorst and the were 765 men each, that of the N'urn was 323 and of tae Leijvug iS6. Thrs more ti>aa I.SOO officers and men were aboard the three ships sunk, and it is believed the total German loss was not far from 2.000. The British casualties are unofficial- IT reported as three in killed and wounded. Discussing Victory in London London. Dee. 10, 12.37 P. M. The B-iiish naval victory in the South At lantic is being dis-ussed in England to day almost to th* exclusion of all other phases of the war news. The last word regarding the naval engagement was that the British squadron, after sinking the German cruisers Scharnhort, Gnei iwcau and Leipzig, with the loss of near ly 3.000 men. was pursuing the fleeing Dresden and Nu-nberg. the other two vessels present when the action opened. The British public is awaiting anxious ly for news of the outcome of this chase. Naval observers, commenting on the action off the Falkland Islands, makes now of the fact that in all naval en gagements in the present war there is groat disparity between the losses of the victors and vanquished. In the case of the British cruisers Monmouth and Good Hope, sent to the bottom by s German squadron off the coast of Chile early in November, the Germans were practically unscathed and the same is true of the British in their victorious engagement in the South At lantic. Defeat Means Annihilation In other words, defeat at sea means virtually annihilation and the loss of all crews with the exception of such men as the victors may be able to save. This is attributed to a great extent to the fact that naval engagements have oeen between ships of unequal arma ment. The German guns outranged the British off the eoast of Chile and the role was reversed off the Falkland Is lands. Nevertheless, it is argued thai even with ships uf similar armament the disproportion of losses between the victor and the vanquished would be greater by far thar anything possible in land warfare.

Gneisenau and Leipzig by British warships off the Falkland Islands say that the N'ernberg and Dresden, the two other German cruisers in the battle, were badly dam a*ed. ®l)e Star- Inkpetiktil LATE WAR HEWS SUMMARY 1 The German 11a* that stretch as across Franc* for more than 3)00 miles is said ty the French war office to be giving way before the attacks of the allies. The offlcial statement from Ber lin to-day gives few details of the fighting in Franca, although asserting that the allies in one instance were re pulsed with heavy losses. The French announcement says that the allies have prosecuted the offensive successfully at points scattered much of. the way across the country. Specific mention is made of the capture of trenches, of victories in artillery duels and of advances of 900 to QOO yards. These onslaughts have led to spirited counter attacks by the Germans, who yesterday are said to have made no less than six of these attempts in the Ar gonne. The German statement is confined so far as the fighting in the west is con cerned. to a reference to the conflict in the Argoune where it is stated an attack of the French was repulsed. The German military authorities say that in the east the advance along the Vistula river is being continued and that a small Polish town has been cap tured. As to the campaign in the South ern Poland where, according to unof ficial advices from Berlin, the Russian wings have been thrown back, the war office statement merely says that at tacks of the enemy were repulsed. To the north, in east Prussia, the fighting has diminished in intensity, apparent ly pending the outcome of the battle west of Warsaw. In this region, says the German war office, only artillery encounters are taking place. The naval battle in the South At lantic and the illness of the Emperor William diverting attention to-day from the great struggles now in pro gress in Belgium, France and Poland. The fate of the small German cruisers Dresden and Nurmbnrg. which at last accounts were being pursued by British warships had not been disclosed. The British admiralty preserved its silence as to the makeup of the squad ron which sent to the bottom the for midable German cruisers Scharnhorst C*atiaa*4 n Math Pas*.

Un confirmed reports which have reached Amsterdam, according to the corre spondent of the "Morning Post.'' state that Dixmude has been occupied by the allies. KAISER IS REPORTED TO BE ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY London. Dec. 10, 3.35 A. M. The British public is manifesting fullv as keen an interest in the reports of the German Emperor's illness as in the news of the naval victory. From dis patches received here during the night it appears that Emperor William was seized with an attack of influenza while on a secret visit to Emperor Fran cis Joseph. The most reliable sources of information by way of Holland and Copenhagen indicate that h« now is making progress toward recovery. It is noted that the Emperor's quiet and unheralded arrival at Berlin last Thursday night as a sick man threat ened with nervous breakdown was his first visit to the capital sinc e the be ginning of the war. The German news papers of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which have just arrived here, make no mention of his name beyond the brief announcement that the Emperor had re turned to Berlin. This apparentlv in dicates that the new s of hij illness" was suppressed until danger was past. To Give Luncheon for Mrs. Tener One of the farewell functions lo be given for Mrs. John K.

HD All ATHLETE IS THE 111 Son of Berwick Minis ter, a Sunbury Back slider and a Hobo Also Penitents ONE MAN GIVEN A NEEDED BATH During Excitement at Last Night's Aft er Meeting a Woman for First Time Refuses Dr. Stough's Appeal to Join Husband on Front Benches The after meeting at the Stough tab ernacle last uight, when the evangelist shook hands with the trail hitters as they stood to their feet oue bv one, had more thrills from beginning to end perha[H» than any former gathering at the front seats. There were tihe usual martied couples, husbands haviug gone front at the per suasion of wives, or wives at the im portuning of husbands, or both at the urging or personal workers. There were young men andvoung girls, too, in the throng of about eighty penitents. But there were some extraordinary cases in additiou, which made the meeting stand out. One of the first men to shake hands with Dr. Stough was a full-blooded In dian. who said that he was from Ne braska. had attended the Carlisle In diau school, had later been placing pro fessional football and baseball." but was now "down and out, through booze." He promised that he was going to lead a different life. Another peni'ent was a man from Sunbury who had hit the trail there, but he testified that when he came to this city with the Stough party a month ago he "went out for a couple hours with the boys." and after his return to Sunbury could not content himself un til, he said, he "came back to this dirts rotten old burg to get right with Ood." He intends to take a course in the Moody Bible Institute. Minister's Son There In the company was also the sun of a miuistqr of Berwick who hud co-op erated 1-4 the Stough campaign there. The youtig man had come to this eitv with this sole intent of hitting the trail. fee first time sitree the opening of the elmpaign, a woman in the audi ence lasr night refused to join her hus band on tho "mourners' bench."

Mrs. Rosin's cries awakened a boarder on the second floor and the would-be robber fled. He went into the shop and asked for a package of cigarettes. Mrs. Rosin had to turn her back toward the man to get the package from a shelf. He struck her over the head with a piece of iron pipe, and turning, she guarded off a second blow by throwing up her arm. She screamed, when the inau, be coming frightened, ran out of the store and up State street toward the ceme tery. Mrs. Rosin's injuries are not serious, the blow on the head not inflicting an open wound. She reported the case to the police last evening, telling them that the man had been in the store twice before laying his plans for the robbery. The police were instrumental 1 in sending a man to the penitentiary ; several years ago who robbed the store ' in a similar manner. i HELPED FHiHT AX DOVER FIRE Elliott Speer, Nephew of Edward Bai ley, Lost Clothing, Books and Camera Among the boys who were at Phil lips Andover Academy, Andover, Mass., last Tuesday morning, when Bartlett Hall, one of its oldes* dormitories, was | wrecked by fire, aro John C. Kunkel, I Jr., of Harrisburg; John P. Charlton, | Jr., of Reading, whose father was a na tive Harrisburger. and Elliott Speer, a son of Robert E. and Emma Bailey j Speer, and nephew of Edward Bailey, of this city. Mr. Kunkel had just returned to the academy after bis father's funeral in this city. He arrived in Andover on Monday night. The building contain ing his sleeping quarters was not burned, but he was one of the volunteer firemen. Mr. Charlton, who is living in Bishop Hall, was in no immediate dan ger and be too, was one of the volun teer fire company that performed deeds of valor. Mr. Speer was not so fortunate. His quarters were in Bartleit Hall and he was aroused by the cry of fire. He found the room full of smoke. He es caped in his pajamas and sweater, but lost all of his property in the room, including his clothing, books and a fine camera. The building destroyed was one of the landmarks of the historic academy. It is tffougiit that coals from a fireplace started the blaze. After five hours of fighting the firemen managed to control the blaze, but two of them were over come by smoke. All the occupants of the rooms, 143 in number, escaped death, some by a narrow margin. COAL TAX CASE ARGUED Question of Distribution of Revenues Among Counties Occupies the Lawyers This Morning Half a dozen of sixty or more coal companies that are attacking the act of July 1, 1913, which taxes them two aud one-half per cent, on each ton ot' coal prepared for the mnrkot, this morn ing began their second attempt to show that the legislation is in itself a viola tion of the State Constitution. Testi mony was taken before Judges Kunkol and MoOairell as the basis for the claims, dealing principally with the amount of coal mined by the companies involved in the test suits. Few witnesses were called, the pro ceedure generally being contlued to both sides tiling affidavits of facts agreed upon. For hull an hour or more the lawyers wrestled with a problem of de termining the liability in three specific cases. It was shown that coal is being mined iu three separate counties and then run through one breaker. The act provides that fifty per cent, of the tax collected shall go to the State and the rest shall be proportionately divided among the counties in which the coal is prepared for the market. The ques tion naturally arose whether three coun ties giving up coal that is run through a breaker in one county can share in the distribution. The lawyers were figuring vet when Judge Kunkel announced the close of the morniug session.

He will, however, suugest to the commissioners the advisability of get ting in touch with real estate dealers with a view to getting their ideas of the market values of the houses. Unless agreements are reached on the price question with all property owners, the City Solicitor will within the next month or two be directed to start condemnation proceedings agiinst those owners who cannot otherwise come to terms with the city. That will moke necessary the ap pointment of a board of viewers to fix the amount of damage to be sustained by the owners through the los 3 of their properties. Bonds then will be filed by the city as security to the property owners, the homes be razed and the (street opened as planned. Viewers then again will go over the ground and determine what benefits have been derived by the proper' 1 owners on the east skle of Front street through the improvements. Assess ments then will be levied against tihe latter. If agreements are reached between the city ami any number of property owners without condemnation proceed ings, the owners in those cases will be asked to vacate and they will receive the city's bond as security for pay ment of the consideration.

It cre ated great consternation among thi populace and the attention ot' noted men of science has been attracted to an event that is almost beyond belief. The house of the owner of the sheep that gave birth to the phenomenon, at tracted immense crowds of the curious, as the people in long processions liocked, to the scene of the occurrence. Giovanni Fiori is the name of the shepherd who was in charge of the fl >ck when one of its number is said to hove .given birth to the monstrosity, which weighed twelve pounds.
