Horrors of the Battle
GUN CREWS WIPED
OUT BY BRITISH
One Shell Bursts in Heart of German
Cruiser and Many Men Were Killed,
Says Subject of Kaiser, Who Once
Lived in America
By Associated Press.
London, Jan. 27, 2.16 A. >M.—The
"Scotsman" to-day publishes the nar
rative of a German bluejacket, a sur
vivor of the German armored cruiser
Bluecher, who once lived in the United
States.
The bluejacket said the German fleet
was advancing at full speed to attack
the English coast when the British war
ships were sighted. Thereupon the Ger
mans turned and made for port. The
Bluecher, which was comparatively
slow, made desperate efforts to keep
up her maximum speed, but the British
overhauled her and opened fire at a
range of about ten miles.
"We were under fire from first to
last," the bluejacket continues. "The
British centered their fire on us. Their
lire was awful. Our guns were put out
of action, our decks were swept and our
guu crews wiped out.
Saw One Shell Kill Five
"One terrible shell burst in the heart
of the ship, where many meu were kill
ed. I saw live killed by one shell. When
the ship was sinking I jumped clear
of her into the terribly cold water,
which was full of dead and men with
shattered limbs who were crying for
assistance."
The "Scotman," which is published
in Edinburgh, also prints other ac
counts of the battle as gathered from
men engaged in it.
For forty miles the two fleets raced
along over the shortest route for
Heligoland before the guns did any
real damage. Then the Lion, which was
leading, overhauled the slow Bluecher,
and, in passing her, gave her a broad
si le, causing frightful damage. The
Lion did not wait, however, but con
fined in pursuit of the fleeing Derf
flinger, Seydlitz and 'Moltke.
Flight to Escape British
The Tiger, which came next, also
poured a broadside into the Bluecher,
,as did also the Princess Royal, both of
which were speeding on to join in the
chase of the others. It was already evi
dent at this time, according to the news
paper's informants, that the Bluecher,
abandoned by her swifter consorts, was
a doomed ship.
The chase already had continued for
two hours. The light German cruisers
quickly did their best to cover the
fleeing battle cruisers until the task was
hopeless, when they followed the ex
ample of the big cruisers and devoted
their entire powers to getting away.
The bigger ships were now being
steadily overhauled and pounded bv
British cruisers. The Lion, which had

overhauled and smashed a second broad- ;
side into the Herman line, according to i
the men interviewed, saw that the light !
was likely to be prolonged right up to ,
the mine fields. The Tiger, Princess 1
Royal and Indomitable were now with
in range of the large vessels, aud the |
men in their interviews are credited;
with expressing the belief that they
wrought terrible havoc on the German
battle cruisers.
Derffiiuger Set on Fire
The fire of the Dertlllnger and Seyd
litz, it is asserted, grew weaker and
weaker as the running fight proceeded.
"Within half an hour's run of the
mined area," said one of the men, "the
Derftliuger was on lire. Masses of
flames were sweeping her forward deck,
her decks were strewn with wreckage
of the shattered upper works and when
she reached the shelter of the mines
>he had no answer to give to the hail
of projectiles which followed her home,
she must have suffered serious loss of
life.
The third vessel in the line was
believed to lie the Seydlitz. but possiblv
was the Moltke. It suffered even
worse. It came under the Lion's fire
and, besides, received something from
the fire of the Tiger, the Princess Royal
and the Indomitable. She was in a
terrible plight. One after another, her
guns were smashed and put out of ac
tion and there was great execution
among her crew. She was a silent ship,
steaming desperately for shelter, with
the whole of her deck ablaze.
Ships Succeed in Escaping
"Meantime the Lion was devoting
her attention to the struggle between
the light cruisers using her speed and
gun power with great effect. She
worked in an endeavor to head off the
German light cruisers and drive them
down upon the British vessels, which
were in hot pursuit. It was a difficult
task. Having regard for the large
number of ships engaged, the Lion did
great damage among them, but tliey
succeeded in escaping.
"The Bluecher made a gallant tight,
•but, as ship after ship turned their
guns upon her with deadly effect, her
doom was sealed from the first. Her
upper works were smashed out of a'.l
recognition and virtually every gun
was put out of action.
".lust at the .dose of the action the
Arethusa tired a torpedo at the Bleueli
er, which took effect. Her crew leaped
overboard as she suddenly heeled over.
>he sank steadily with a slight keel
until her decks were awash aud thou,
with a sudden roar, turned over aud
sank with her flag stili flying.
British Turn to Rescue
"The British vessels turned their at
tention to rescue aud large numbers of
men were picked up. More might have
been saved but for a new factor.
"From the direction of Heligoland
came a huge Zeppelin and a number of
aeroplanes, which began dropping
bombs upon the destroyers engaged in
the work of rescue and which, there
fore, had to abandon their task. There
upon the air craft followed the disabled
ships homeward.
"A slight temporary derangement in
the running gear of one of the British
'.varsliips may have led to the observers
in the a:r craft to the conclusion that
serious damage had been inflicted ami
niven the Germans a basis for the'r
'aim that a British battleship had
been destroyed.
"The vessels have come out of the
fighting bearing undoubted marks of
'he conflict, but in no case has the
damage been other than slight."
First Shot at 15 Miles
According to other accounts from
members of the crew, the British
squadron tirst sighted the Germans
about 30 miles off the British coast.
The light was good and th« sea fairly
smooth. The Germans could be seen
miles away and when the Lion fired the
first shot from starboard the fleets were
about 15 miles apart
The British gia linlly o.ci'i?ned the
Germans, despite the fact that thev
were dropping min-s as they steamed
away.
t The accounts vary concerning the
aiicraft attack.* Some say one of sev
eral aeroplanes took part, while others
state that an airship also took part
i lie action.
FOOD SHIPMENT GUARANTY
IS MADE BY GERMAN OFFICIAL
Washington, Jan. 27.—Count Von
I Bernstorff, the German Ambassador,
| notified the State Department yesterday
that his government had given official
assurance that no foodstuffs shipped
from the United States to Germany
would be seized for military' or any
1 other governmental use.
The order of the 'Federal Council of
! Germany for the seizure of all stocks of
i com, wheat and flour by February 1
1 is construed by some of the officials here
as likely to deprive the owners of the
. cargo of the American steamship Wil
helmina of the right they claim to land
: their food supplies in Germany.
The basis of their claim was the
I declaration that the grain was not in-
I tended for the German army or the Ger
j man government, but for non-combatant
j individuals, and therefore not subject
j to seizure according to the terms of
The Hague convention.

as a sphinx, but believe ine, everything
is all right with the allies."

NAMING A BATTLE
Opposing Armies Do Not Always Give
It the Same Designation
Many of the world's mo.-t famous\
battles have two names. Thus the bat
tle of Waterloo is known by that name!
only among English speaking peoples.!
The French cali it the battlf of La
Belle Alliance. The battle that deed
ed the war between Prussia and Aus-j
tria in 1866 is known among the Ger-
I mans as the battle of Sadowa, but the \
( Austrian* call it the battle of Kecnig
f graetz. In the war of 1870. be ween '
j Germany and France, the great en
gagement that the Germans call the
j battle of Gravelotte :s pokeu of b
the French as the battle of S:. Priva:.
' The same thing was cowman in cur
j civil war. The battle that is known in
the north as the battle of B ill Run
j would not be recognized by most sort'i-l
j erners under that name. In the south
;it is invariably ca"e.| the battle of
I Manasias. So the battle that the Fed
eral generals called the battle of Pit:s
| burg Lin i'ing was by the CjnfeJeiate i.
I called the battle of -hiloli. Antiet.ini
|is called in the youth the batt e of
Sharpshurg. The writer, a southerner, i
whose father was a Confederate ofli
eer, was twenty years o'.d before he
ever heard cf the battle of Ant etam,
although he was familiar with all th.ij
detaiels of the battle ol Sharps'jurg.
j The reason for this is that the o•-
; posing armies always name the battle!
; from some prominent geographical
! landmark, and as they Icok at th > lie!d j
| from different points of view they nat
urally settle on different names. Thus,
at Waterloo, the battle tcok its ling
! lish name from the little village where I
Wellington made his final headquar
ters and whence he sent to England
the first dispatch that announced hit
victory. So in 1 S6t! the headquarters
of the Prussian army was neir the vil
lage of Salowa, whereas that of tire'
Au-triane was near the village of Kce
| niggraetz. At Gravelotte the little vil
lage of that name was an important
point in the German lines. On the side
of the French the hamlet of St. Priva
was the. key to their battle formation.
As long as they held that they were'
invincible, but when the Germans
, sailed it in the rear and drove them |
jout the day was IGSt. —Youth's Com
panion.
Paxtang to Have Lights in a Month

her most distinguished successes.
Miss Terry, who conies to the Majes

ed a fine and ncble type of stage wom
an. Her impersonations of Shakes
peare's women have been without par
allel. Her Olivia, her Portia, and her

j Portia gave to Henry Irving's masterly
j production of the "Merchant of Vc-|
I nice" a softening beauty and a spirit
ual brightness that relieved and con
trasted happily the somber tone of that j
! near tragedy. Miss Terry's wonderful
