ENGLISH HAVE WON ANOTHER SEA VIOTOSY German Vessel is Batterer! and Sunk by English Fleet .. THE GERMAN SHIPS FLED Or Entire German Squadron Would Have Been Now at Bottom of North Sea. England gained the second sea victory of the war in the North Sea last week. The news was related as follows in news received from London yesterday. An attempt by a German cruiser squauivn tu repeat tne lucent attacK on Scarborough, the Hartlepools and other British coast towns, was frustrated last week by the British patrolling squadron, and in a running fight the German armored cruiser Bluecher was sunk and two German battle cruisers seriously damaged. The British ships suffered only slight injury. So- far as is known only 123 of the Bluecher's crew of 885 were saved. JlSJL iiuiiic y%<\\AJiof auu it, vyao viiij aiter a ster?< chase that the faster British ships- got within range/of them. The running battle lasted mote than four hours,, the firing being plainly heard in- Nfrrth Holland where it was judged the fight took place north of the island of Amel and SchriermanikOog. The Bluecher which was slower than the other German cruiser, fell behind and succumbed to the heavier guns oi the Lion which was leading the British squadron. The other German ships got within the mine and submarine area, two of them in a badly damaged condition, and it was dangerous for the big British battlecruisers to follow them. The fact that only 11 were wounded aboard the Lion indicates that the British casualties were light. It is possible that more of the Buecher's crew were picked up by the British destroyers. The text of the official press bureau statement follows: "Early this < morning a British patrolling squadron of battle-cruisers and light cruisers under Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty with a desroyer flotilla ander Commodore Tyrwhitt r? l .hi , nignvcu twr uvnnau uauie cruisers and several light cruisers and a number of destroyers steering westward > and apparently making for the English coast. 'The enemy at once made for home In high speed. They were pursued and about 9:30 a. m. action was joined between the battle cruisers Lion, Princess Royal, New Zealand and In' domitafete on the one hand and the - Derflinger, Seydlitz, Moltke and r Blueelter on the other. A well contested running fight ensued. Shortly after 1 o'clock the Bluechor, which had previously fallen out of line, capsized and sank. "Admiral Beatty reports that two other battle cruisers were seriously, damaged. Tlujy., we re, however, able to continue their flight and reached an jaroa where dangers from German submarines and mines prevented fur? mm .......... tncr pursuit. . "No British ships have been lost and our casualties in personnel as at present reported arc slight, the Lion, which led the line, having* only 11 wounded and no killed. "One hundred and twenty-three sur vivors have been rescued from the Bluecher's crew of 885, and it is possible that others have boon saved by some of our destroyers.

The*. British were superior in ships engaged, weight of armament and speed*' and* the -flight of the German ships into the mine and submarine infested field possibly saved them from further losses. The Bluecher was a cruiser of 15,550 tons displacement, and although commissioned in 1908, was completely rerigged last year. She was not classed as a battle cruiser, but was in the next class to those formidable fighters. With her were the Derflinger, Germany's latest battle cruiser, which had just left the builder's hands and the battle cruisers Seydlitz and Moltke, the latter a sister ship of the Goeben, formerly of the German but now of the Turkish fleet which was reported damaged by the Russians in the Black Sea.

E-68 | | GERMANS MENACE REAR OF THE RUSSIANS. Have Got Around Behind Forces Marching Upon East Prussia. Petrograd, Jan. 21.?German forces have appeared in the rear of the Russian army advancing towards the Prussian border. They are along the road from Plonsk, 40 miles northwest of Warsaw, to Goslitza, thus being between the advancing Russian army ind the Polish capital. So far as is known only comparatively small bodies of Germans consisting of reconnoitering detachments are in the locality. The Bourse Gazette says the Russian military authorities have learned that Russo-Germans in this vicinity have given information and other assistance to the Germans. On that account the newspapers say, Grand Duke Nicholas has ordered that all Russo-Germans resident in the district between Warsaw and the Russian front dispose of their property within six days, preparatory to being removed to the interior. MUCH COURT DELAY. Will be Saved by the Dixon Bill Passed by the House. By a vote of 58 to 26, the house sent to third reading last week a bill by Mr. Dixon of Fairfield "to promote a speedy administration of justice in the courts of the State/' . , . The bill reada: "Section 1. That from and after the passage of this act no judgment shall be set aside or new trial granted in any case, civil or criminal, on the grounds of misdirection of the jury or the improper admission or re jection or evidence or Tor error as to any matter of pleading or procedure, unless, in the opinion of the court, to which the application is made after an examination of the entire case, 1 it shall affirmatively appear that ' ' the error complained of resulted in a mis carriage of justice o? that some constitutional right of the party- making the application has been invaded, abridged or denied." In appealing to the house to pass the bill, Mr. Dixon said, that its > enactment, besides speeding up trials, Would rut down rnnrt r?r?af a Mr. Moise of Sumter told the house that a majojrity of the judiciary com? tee had reported unfavorably on the bill because it believed that the bill would limit instead of extending the power of judges. Mr. Moise said the committee was in favor of the principles of the bill. Mr. Graydon of Abbeville held that the bill would put too much power in the hands of the judges and would, in effect, abolish trial by jury. Mr. White of Clarendon spoke in favor of the Dixon bill.

AMERICAN SEAMEN TAKEN 8Y GERMANS They are Released or Trouble Would Have Ensued COTTON SHIPMENT CAUSE *n -r ht -ii ^ ? .Qt'iuru masters umcially Reported to This Government, Prisoners Are Released. Washington, Jan. 21.?While the American government today waited Great Britain's explanation of her seizure of the American steamer Greenbrier, it developed that American sailors of her crew as well as those of the steamer Carolyn, which sailed from Savannah, had been arrested by German authorities at Bremen. In a dispatch informing the State Department that the sailors has been released and were free to join their ships, the American Consul at Bremen gave first information that the sailors had been arrested but added no details Officials here could only suppose that the men might have been arrested for mispondllft nshnrp nr nneoiVilw <lnto!n. - ? ? ?? V x/ v * \IV>VM A*? ed until the departure of their ships to suppress any military information they might gain. The Greenbrier, whose detention is now the subject of diplomatic negotiation, sailed from New Orleans and Norfolk with cotton for Bremen under a certificate issued by the British consul at Norfolk. Her commander complained that a British cruiser seir.ed his ship on the high seas, hoister theEnglish flag and damaged the vessel in navagation before he permitted her to proceed to Bremen. The Carolyn also carried a cofton cargo. Apparently she got through without interference and the arrest of her sailors is her tfrst appearance in international incidents arising out of the transportation of cotton to Germany. She called at Falmouth, however, before proceeding to Bremen Secretary Bryan's request for infor mation of the circumstances surrounding the seizure of the Greenbrier has been received at the British embassy here which withholds comment. Advices are expected at the State Depart ment after communication between the embassy and the London foreign office. The detention of the sailors at Bremen is expected to be explained in later dispatches. ' i . r~ 1 ATTENTION Mr. Stock Owner!

LAST WEEK SAW | BUT LiTTlE BONE 3y South Carolina Law Makers in Columbia 1 STOP DELAYTN TAX PAYING New Bill Proposes a Penalty of Five Per Cent for Not Paying Promptly. Last week saw but very little aceom I 1 - * pusneu in uotn branches of the general assembly of this State. Quite a number of bills were introduced in both the House and in the Senate. There was much talk on the various measures that came up. The house passed to third reading a bill placing a 5 per cent flat penalty on taxes paid after December 31 instead of the cumulative penalty of 1 per cent, a month up to March 1. The bill was amended to require county au ditors to notify the comptroller general of the amount of the penalties. Pro ponents of the measure told the house in debate that it would result in the prompt payment of all taxes by large taxpayers before December 31 in each year. The bill was introduced by Mr. Liles of Orangeburg. It reads: "Section 1. That section 454 of volume 1, code of laws of South Carolina, 1912, be and the same is hereby amended, by striking out all of said section and inserting in lieu thereof the following. "Sec. 454. Delinquent taxes; penalties; executions. That when the taxes and assessments or any other portion thereof charged against any property or party on the duplicate for , the current fiscal year shall not be , paid on or before the 31st day of December, the county auditor shall proceed to add a penalty of 5 per cent, on the county duplicate and notify the comptroller general of the amount thereof and the county treasurer shall collect the same, and if said taxes, penalties and assessments are not paid on or before the first day of March next, thereafter the county treasurer shall issue tax execution for the said taxes, assessments and penalties against the property of the defaulting taxpayer, according to iaw. "Section 2. All acts and parts of acts contrary to this act are hereby repealed. "Sec. 3. This act shall take effect on the 30th day of September 1915." $100 REWARD $100 The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.

Certain Chattel Mortgages to be Signed: in Duplicate. With the intention of protecting mortgagors from, unscrupulous mortgagees, the house last week passed to third reading a- bill providing the manner ih which mortgages for per-' property shall be executed. The opinion seemed to be widely current In the house that mortgagees of personal property had-frequently imposed upon mortgagors, especially when the latter were illiterate. The bill passr last week- was a.substitute bill by the judiciary committee for the bill in troduced by Mr. Wallace. The bill follows: "Section 1. - That all mortgages of personal property made by any person shall* be executed in the presence of two disinterested persons and who are not related to the mortgagee either by ties of blood or marriage and who are not in the employ of the mortgagee; said persons shall hear the mortgage which-shall be executed in duplicate, read and explained to the mortgagor, after which said persons shall subscribe their names to said mortgage as attesting witnesses. All mortgages of personal property not executed in accordance with the provisions of this act shall be null and void: Provided, That this act shall apply only to such mortgages of $50 or less. "Sec. 2. This act shall become ctfcctive July 1, A. T) 1915. "See. ft. That all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with this act bo, and the same arc hereby repealed." UGH!

The fighting still went on at the many places where it has been raging for the past many moons, and about the only thing which added new excitement of a very mild kind to the conflict was the opening of a new theater of the war in Egypt. We give below an account of the first skirmish news of which reached this country by the last of the week and was as follows: The a<" ranee eruard of the Turkish I army undertaking an invasion of Egypt reached the British outposts cast of the Suez canal, where the first skirmish of war in this region took place. Official report says the clash was a small affair, only one British officer being wounded. But dispatches from Cairo declare the invaders suffered severely from th British machine guns. The dispatches did not disclose the size of the Turkish force engaged, but said the fight took place east of El Kantara, which is on the Suez canal, and is the terminus of the caravan route from Rafati, the border station between Egypt and Svria. The dia tance from Rafati to E! Kantara is 143 miles, and, as the British had filled in all the wells, along the caravan route, the invaders would have had to carry their own water. Even El Kantara is supplied by a pipe line from a fresh water stream which runs under the Suez canal. Advance Guard Engaged. It is believed the fighting of the British forces was with the Arab of Kurdish horsemen employed by the Turks as scouts for the main army un der Dejemal Pasha, which consists of three army corps and which is believed to have had hardly time to cross the desert. The British have a strong force to guard the canal. Nothing has been heard of the mili tary venture which it was reported the German# were preparing for Emperor William's birthday ui\!&fls their attacks on the French at Ypres and on the British at LaBassee were intended as such. All official accounts agree that these attacks were very severe, but beyond this there is nothing in common between the accounts of the Allies and the Germans concerning the fighting. ' The French communication repeats the statement that the Germans were repulsed with heavy losses while the Germans says that the British were unable to recapture their former po.sitior.s. Similar contradictory ' statements are made regarding the severe fighting taking place near Craonne and Perhtes in the Argonne and in the vieinity of St. Niehel. In all these eases both'sides claim victories. There was increasing activity along the front. The Russians there report ed to be pushing their offensive both in East Prussia and in Poland., north of the lower Vistula, while the Germans said to have been repeating their attacks in Central Poland. In Galicia an Austro-German force attempted an offensive which, according to the Russian accounts did not meet with success. Roumania, which just received a loan of $25,000,000 through the Bank of England was said to be watching closely the concentration of tho Austro-German force in Transylvania, which might be used either against her or the Russians advancing through Bukowina. Tho loan to Roumania was advanced by the Bank of England to the Bank of Roumania against treasury bills.
