Two colliers were captured. The engagement, one of the greatest that has ever been fought between modern warships, lasted only five hours, The Scharnhorst went down at the end of three hours and the GneisenaufollowedAdmiral von Spee's flagship to the bottom two hours later. The fighting began at half -past seven o'clock on Tuesday morning, and by half -past twelve tho dangerous units of the German squadron had been dis- posed of. That left an afternoon of daylight for the British light cruisers to chase the Leipzig, .the Nurnberg and the. Dresden, The fate of the Leipzig was soon sealed, and she was destroyed in time' for the inclusion of the news in the first brief report which Admiral Stur- j dee flashed to England. The speedy Brititsh cruisers then continued their pursuit of the remaining boats, and overtook the Nurnberg within a few hours. • That the, Dresden was able to es- cape unscathed is most unlikely. The fact that her four companions were unable to escape the British net indi- cates that she had some part in the battle, and that only her great speed —she has made better than 27 knots —took her beyond reach of hostile shells for the time being. The Argentine Government has re - calved word that the German cruiser Dresden has arrived at Punta Arenas, on the Strait of Magellan. 'Admiral Von Spee went down with his flagship, the Scharnhorst, and the .total lose of life on the German side must baye bee:i upwards of 2,000 nien. a The Secretary of the Admiralty re• ceived a cable despatch from Vice - Admiral Sturdee stating that the Brititsh casualties totalled seven men killed and four wou:_ded. No officers, the despatch says, were killed or wounded. Mr. Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, issued a statement in which he said: "The• peace of the Pacific is now, for the time being, restored, and the commerce of all •nations can proceed with safety throughout • the vast expanses from the coasts of Mozambique to those of South America. • The expulsion of the Germans from the east is com- plete, and with good and vigilant ar- rangements by all a return by them should be rendered extremely difficult , and hazardous." SANK TURKISH WARSHIP British Submarine Dived Under Five Rows of Mines to do it e • The British submarine 1311, in charge of Lieut. -Commander Norman B. Holbrook on Sunday entered the Dardanelles, and in spite of the diffe Cult current dived .under five rows of mines and torpedoed the Turkish -battleship Messudielt, which was guarding. the mine fields. Although pursued by gun -fire and torpedo boats, the 1311 returned safely after beteg submerged, on one occa- sion,' for trine h1?u}'�5. When last seen the• Messtadieit va s lik n by the stern.

Among sua•h are a knitted jersey or sweater, a Money belt, spare shirts, socks, and handkerchiefs, a tin of dubbin, a sleeping cap, a small medicine case and a "housewife." This last item is very necessary, as socks and shirt' wear out very quickly on the march and have to be constantly repaired. An ,officer also wants a certain amount of camp equipment in the field. These various items aro .divided. into "war -kit" and "field -kit." The former consists of a sleeping -bag, cork mattress, blanket -bag, pillow, and buc- ket and costs about $32.50. .A flask, aluminum cep, brush and comb and shaving tackle, etc., are other de- sirable adjuncts. The "war -kit" is rather more elaborate, as it includes such articles as a mirror, basin, bath, bedstead, sheets, lantern, canteen, hold -all, and small tent.

Germany needs : 1;000,000 horses for cavalry and artillery to put, her colossal forces in the field. France requires probably 750,000, • and even Great Britain las needed es many as 230,000. Although England in pace times mounts only two-thirds of , her caval- ry, her horse bill amounts to about $400,000 a year --a figure which may be multiplied by four or five for the German army. In most countries' omnibus, farm, and domestic hors are registered as being available in time of war for miscellaneous ser- vice, and for thio anything from $30,000 to $150,000 a year may be paid by a military nation. France spends upward of $600,000 a year on horses for her great armi„s, As a general rule, the recruits are five years old, and cost $200 each, Queer Privilege Crops Up A coffee -stall opened in the Bank of England for the refreshment of the refugees recalls a little-known privi- lege of the '''..nk—no less than the right to sell' beer 'without a license. by the Charter of Incorporation, dated This privilege was allowed the Bank Tuly 27th, 1694, and'the directors, if they chose, could open a public-housa in Threadneedle Street.
