MEN DESTROYED; ckiniiun Dcininco LNULflnU r\LJUIULO German Cruiser. Terror of the Sea, Run Down at Last. KOENIGSBERG BOTTLED UP iieritimiy lias Threatened to t'ut Oil Food Supply Unless llolpiuis Iteturn to Work. Ivondon, Nov. 11.?Widely different claims of contending armies in the eastern and western theatres of war, especially concerning the West Flanders situation, last night left but one big unci sputed fact on land or sea. That was the destruction of the German cruiser Knulen and the trapping of the German cruiser Kcenigsberg, the latt"r in a palmlined lOast African river under cir niciKB an enort to resume their nor mal oceupations. The Belgian a:i_ iwfir is that it lius boon impossible to resume a semblance of normal activity because the German soldiery has commandeered all implements and materials necessary to an industrial revival. The British government, tonight issued another so-called white paper, reviewing the incidents which proceded the declaration of war against Turkey. If deals in the main with the Goeben and Breslau affair and sets forth that the Grand Vizier all along was at. least ostensibly gainst dragging Turkey into the conflict, but either wap powerless to resist Enver Bey and^'his associates, or while outwardly Opposing them,, was winking at the. fast approaching rlsis while the Turkish and German preparations went forward. NAVY IN THE PICTURE. The British navy got into the war Dfcture trtdiv wi'th iu/a ? the destruction of the German cruiser Emden In the eastern waters of the Indian ocean and the bottling up of the KoenlgBborg, considered her later ship, in the western extremity of the same sea. These two raiders, especially the Emden, have many ruccohshs to their credit, and their skill In evading the net thrown out for them has betn a matter of chagrin to British Whenever You Need a General Tonic Take drove's The Old Standard Grove's Tasteless chill Tonic is equally valuable as a General Tonic because it contains the well known tonic prooertiesofOUINIEE and IRON.

Cheers broke forth at Lloyds on the announcement and for the moment the struggles of the armies n France, Russia and elsewhere were forgotten. CAVALRY ENGAGEMENTS. Yet all these armies were at each other's throats?the Germans and Russians clashing in cavalry engagements along the German frontier; the Russians still harassing the Austrians in Galicia ami the French, British and Belgians uniting to hold back what appears to bu a tremendous German attempt to b*euk through the allied line u the /tlmty of Ypres Many dispatches speak of the movement of German troops east ward tram Belgium as indicating the nefiil of roinforoomaiits along (ho oaatern frontier, hut m-ither tin French nor Herman official state, meats indicate any slackening in th iolonoe of (ierman attacks in Wcs: Flanders. In fact, the French statement says tiiat between the sea and Armentieres the opposing forces wore both acting on the offensive. CONTRADICTORY MOWS. As to the outcome of this double offensive the rival contentions are contradictory, the Hermans claiming slow progress near Ypres, and the French assorting that the Herman attack was beaten hack. In view of what seems to he a sustained and concerted Herman effort in this re-' gion. the reports of the German reH tirement are hardly borne out. although it is said they have moved their headquarters stll farther east,! this time from Ghent to Alost. The situation along the battle linein France proper, from the standpoint of the allies, was summed up in a dispatch front an observer with the Indian corps, who says there* has he^n no marked change anywhere*, though he profe*sses to see a gradual weakening of Herman attacks. REPORTED THREAT. Aside from the* military aspects of the war. what stood out boldest today was Germany's reported threat to cut off food the United States is sending to Ho|g\irm, if the Belgians eliil not return to the*ir cities and naval men. The Hmden's end came in bat as befitted her record tliroughc history for .according to all counts, even those of her victit she played a clean game strictly ' accordance with the recognized r of naval warfare. After a sharp action off Coi Island with the Austrialian crui Sydney, the German ship with her casualties was beached ablaze. '1 German cruiser Koen'gsberg met less glorious fate as she was bott up !n such a position that she m either bo captured or surrendei IIIUU^II in UllIIVI IrtBC BUC 1'IUW.l will be nothing but a useless liu A REMARKABLE CHAPTER. The Eniden lias contributed to t history of the war one of the in remarkable chapters. For slu audacity and success it has f parallels certainly none since I Alabama, the famous old Confed ate warship was roaming the so Twenty-two ships, mostly B-iti have been sunk, and one has be captured by Hie Ceruiun cruiser Since early in August the Enid has been at work Most of the til she was preying on Brit sli shippi in the Indian ocean, but late h month she suddenly appeared Penang, on Malacca Straits. It w here that the Emden performed li most during feat. A fourth smo> stack was rigged 011 her deck a a Japanese flag run up. Thus d gulsed, Bhe steamed boldly into t harbor, passing unchallenged unci | the British guns of the fort and fir torpedoes which sank the Russi .cruiser Jemtchug and a French c ' stroyer. Then she steamed aw and escaped through the straits. PROPERTY DESTROYED. The property destroyed by t I Emden had a toal value of aho ' $4,000,000, exclusive of tlieir c: goes. The Emden's largest guns a only 1.1 -Inch. Of these she had tc Iler speed of 24.5 knots vsas li greatest asset, as she was able run down merchant sh.'ps wii' and then escape from larger li slower vessels that pursued 'i< British.

It is assume however, that she has obtained sul tfiont food and fuel to meet li needs from captured ships. In one instance this is known have been done.
