ALL ENGLAND AMAZED AT THE DARING NORTH RAID EA. IN THE However the British; Fleet Must Run Great Risks in Order to Ensure the Food Supply of Great Britain. London, Sept." 23.--The sinking of the three British cruisers by five German submarines, in the 'North Sea, occurred at 7.30 o'clock yes terday morning. The Dutch steamer Titon picked up 114 Survivors, most of whom were transferred to British torpedo boats. Ther daring raid of sublnarines across the North Sea has momentar- ily diverted attention from' the bat- tlefields of the 'continent. This was one of the things which the British navy had been" led to expect, for the Germans have frank. ly avowed that their plan was reduce British naval supremacy by submarine raids and the sowing of mines, and they have been training their young officers for sallies of this kind. Nevertheless, it came as a * shock to Englishmen that big ships. such as these could 80 easily be attacked and destroyed, while the German fleet has been able to remain in sai- ety in its mine and fortress pro- tected harbors However, the British fleet must keep the seas' to insure Lireat Bri- tain's food supply, and in doing so mist run great risks, 'he ships which were while obsolete, still were very use ful vessels, and it is some satisfac tion. to England to know that her cruiser ; fleet, is still double in num- ber that of the Germans, and that, as Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord of the admiralty, has said, Eng land should be abje to build dur ing the war three to---Germany's one to sunk, Sank Two German Submarines, Ymuiden, Holland, Sept. 23 of the five German submarine which attacked and sunk the tish cruisers Aboukir, Cressy Hogue, were sent to the bottom the British' ships, according to survivors of the cruisers rived hers last evening ---------- Two boats Bri and by the who ar Vengeance Demanded. 23. ~ Demands for speedy vengeance op. the German for their exploit - in" sinking three Pritish armoured cruisers are voiced by most of Lhe newspapers to-day It is suggested 'that while England has many times as many submarines as has Germany they have yet failed to demonstrate their worth. Fantastic stories of their pene- trating into German harbors = are circulated, but none have been. com firmed: As a result of the agita tion naw, going on in every part of England, it is believed that these craft will now at least make an at tempt to even the score England was still without details of the Cressy, Aboukir Hogue tragedy to-day. gmbers of the crew of the Abou kir; "who were rescued, declare that the Germans fired seven torpedoes, and that = five hit, The Aboukir was struck simultaneously forward and. aft, and practically blown to pieces. Her 'boilers exploded and added to the terrible nature of the disaster. Hardly a member of 'the crew was uninjured. The Hogue and Cressy, . believing their sister ship had struck a mine, steamed speedily to her assistance. The Hogue was putting over her boats when a tor pedo struck her sguarely amidships, and she likewise went down. Two torpedoes struck the Cressy below the water Tine and practically tore he: yose from her hull. ' he latest estimate is 1,624 lost and including are believed to be practically all the officers of the three ships. London, = Sept, official and Three German Generals Killed. Berlin, Sept. 23.--In the list ol casualties posted to-day are the names of Generals Von Trotha, Vor Arbou and Von Wrochen, all killed in action, and Generals Von Willisen and Von Kuehme wounded.

The Austrians have many Slavs, some of SUBNARINES ett eget shot. large numbers of Slav en and children are employed by the Auss' trians digging intrenchments and transporting 'supplies. Military experts estimate that nearly two million or more men are now in the zone where the battle has been in progress ten days.
