SEBVIANS BAPIUHE BflSNIAN BAPIIAL HARV'ICH. Eng., Sept. 23,â€"(Via London.)â€"-It is computed here that 700 men from the British cruisers Aboukir. Cressy and Hogue were sav- ed. Thirty uninjured ofl‘icers, survi- ‘cors of the three sunken warships, arrived here last night. They had been rescued from the water and wore improvised clothing. Eighty survivors were landed at Parkeston Quay, three miles west of Harwich. It is estimated that each of the cruisers carried about 755 men, or 2.265 in all. The loss of lives would thus appear to be about 1,500. Two Submarines Sunk. YMUIDEN, Holland, Sept. 23.â€" (Via London.) â€"â€" Two of the five German submarine boats which at- tacked ind sank the British cruisers Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue were sent to the bottom by the British ships, ac- cording to survilors of the cruisers who arrived here yesterday morning. Survivors Landed. AMSTERDAM, Sept. 23. â€" (Via London.)â€"â€"The steamer Florea arriv- ed at Ymuiden last night with 287 survivors from the British cruisers sunk by the German submarines. One dead and a few wounded were also aboard. Nevertheless, it came as a surprise to Englishmen that big ships such as these sunk so easily could be attack- ed and destroyed While the German fleet has been able to remain in safety in its mine and fortress protected Tarbors. This was one of the things which the British navy has been led to ex- pect. for the Germans have quite frankly avowed that their plan was to reduce British naval superiority by submarine raids and the sewing of mines, and they have been training their young officers for sallies of this kind. The daring raid of German sub- marines has momentarily diverted at: tention from the battlefields of the continent. These three cruisers had arma- ments consisting of two 9.2 inch guns, 12 6-inch guns, 12 15-pound- ers and 5 3-pounders. The Aboukir and the Cressy were built at Govan in 1900 and the Hague was built at Barrow in the same year. The speed was 21 knots. The Aboukir was torpedoed first. The Hogue‘ and th; Cressy drew in close to her and were standing by to save her crew when they also were torpedoed. The warships Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy are cruisers of the same type. Their tonnage, armament, etc., are identical. These vessels had a dis- placement of 12,000 tons, were 440 feet long and 69.5 feet wide and drew 26 feet of water. Each one had a 5 crew of 755 men, including officers. Continuing, the announcement says that a considerable number of the crews of these vessels were sav- ed by H. M. S. Lowestoft and by a division of torpedo boat destroyers. 'l‘rawlers and their boats also aided in the work of rescue.

Sept. 23. -.â€"The destruc- tion of the wireless telegraph: sta- tion on the Islahd of Nauru, which removes the last German stationary wireless apparatus in the Pacific Ocean, is reported in a despatch to ,the Renter Telegram Co. yesterday from Sydney, N.S.W. Scattered fighting has taken place at Rabaul, Neupommern, an island in Lhe Bismarck archipelago. The na- tives, under German leadership, pro-v- (d troublesome, but the Australian landing party took to cover cleverly an: suffered no losses. AUSTRALIANS SilENEE « BEHMAN WIHHESS The British flag now flies over the island, though the German governor and his staff have been allowed to remain. “Life,” said the Speaker, “is not what a. man gets out of it, but what he puts into it. Truth has ‘been too long upon the scaflold and wrong too long upon the throne. God has a moral order of things and your peace and happiness depends upon your finding out that moral order and conforming to it.” Service was the standard of life. Selfishness was the curse of the world. The cause of the war today was because Germany took upon her- self the right to interpret their pledg eS, promises and treaties in accord- ance with their own interests. When the spirit of selfishness governs a na- tion’s actions then decay has com- menced. He explained that between two peo- ple there could exist a close friend- ship only in so far as the two a- greed. So when they walked togeth- er with God, when they agreed with Him, and when they disagreed .with Him they could not walk together. The oldest element in the churchtwere apt to look upon the rising genera- tion as not quite so good as their own. and the younger people were inclined to take Jan exactly opposite View of the matter. But he said of the latter that if they measured up to their opportunities to the same extent as their fathers had measur- ed up to their opportunities, they would be acguitting themselves well. It would not do for the young pw ple to take things as they found them, gather them around themselv- es and enjoy them. They were expect: ed' to usevthem not:to-enable them to do more and better. work. In the first few sentences of his evening address the Rev. Dr. Shorey won the hearing of the audience. Briefly and in a humorous trend he recited some of his experiences in carnectiea with the Charlotte Street church and other churches. Then turning to more serious matters he addressed himself to the young peoâ€" ple. I Rev. 8. J. Shorey, D.D., of Lind- lsay, a former pastor of Charlotte gStreet Methodist Church was the ilast to give an address. Speaking, Qas he was to aformer congregation, he had great difficulty in not dealing with freminiscences which however lhe promised to deal with at night. jThe laying of the corner stone for Trinity Church meant more than the world could realize. Every Christian Church erected means that the indi- vidual would become more and more impressed .with the fact that he must he possessed with righteous- ness, truth and justice and it was only when the individual realized this, that the nation began to rea- lize it. The great conflict at present waging makes one feel like closing the doors of the churches and ex- ,claiming “We have failed." But that is only when in a weakly mood'. The stronger spirit urges us to work for the Christian Church andurge on the nations to realize that,they, like individuals, must walk in righteous- ness, truth and Justice, then and then only will Christianity be sav- ed. At the laying of the corner stone of the Trinity Methodist Church at Peterboro on Monday, Rev. Dr. Shorey, a. former pastor ofthe Charlotte-st chu‘rch, spoke as fol- lows:â€"â€" ‘ REV 03.

Ma- ny of the men gave up positions to enlist in defence of the Empire, and although they were not accepted they are entitled to the same treat- ment as is accorded to those .who have. been accepted. If the stories told' by the volunteers are true an investigation is in order. We believe that if this matter was brought to the attention of the Minister of Mil- itia, it would receive prompt atten- tion and the public would be given the facts of the case in short order. A number of them are still in town, and_ as an order has been is- sued to return all uniforms, it finds some of them without clothing to replace the khakhi. When the volunteers were a short distance from Quebec, it is claimed the man in charge of the tickets was arrested and as a result;the boys, when reaching O-ttaWa, had considerable difficulty in getting transportatiOn home. They arrived in Lindsay Saturday without money to secure lodging and needs and had to rely on the generosity and hospitality of their friends. as the majority of them are not residents of Lindsay, This morning one of the volun- teers, an intelligent young man, made the statement that the men were told to get ready to return home on short notice. They were given tickets as farwas Lindsay, said tickets being in charge of a volun- teer who was instructed to seethat the men arrived at Lindsay. The men were given no rations for the trip home on the trains or money for the time they were on duty, but were packed 011, so our informant says, to shift for themselves. Some of the volunteers, he further asserts, were deprived of the wrist.watches given them by the citizens of Lind- Say. ‘ The Post is not in a position to confirm or refute the charges made by the volunteers. We feel, however, that the charges would not be made by the men unless there was evidence to substantiate them. The Volunteers who have returned from Valcartier to Lindsay are loud in their complaints of the treatment mete-d out to them by the authorit- ies at that camp, and if the stories told by them are true, this treatment can only be characterized as dis~ graceful and a reflection on those whose duty it was to look after their welfare while wearing the‘ uni- form.
