Because something is offered you for little money does not
necessarily mean that it is a good investment. The value of
an investment should be carefully figured on the return it will
likely bring. •
If your Investment is in Town or City Real Estate, there
will be no profit made if the Town or city is not growing. If
the Town or City is not growing or at a stand -still, property
decreases, you lose.
If the Town or City is growing and likely to grow and your
property is in the growing area it advances at double the per-

Carmen Vessel Declined to Stand up
anti Fight the Smallest aritlsh
Warship on the Atlantic'
For half an hotfr on Thursday night,
August 6, H.M.S. nriatol, the smallest
British warship In the North Atlantic,
fought a long-range duel with the
Karlsruhe, one of the German cruisera
which have boost trying to intercept
British shipping an the Nlorth At-
lantic, Fleeting from, I1.M•S, Suffolk,
which interrupted the Karlsruhe coal-
ing at tea from the North German
Lloyd steamer I{ronpriz Wilhelm, the
German cruiser was intercepted by
the Bristol southwest of Bermuda, and
for a half hour a long-range running
fight tools place in the blackness of
Sarni -tropical night.
Racing through the heavy swell at
a terrific clip, the. ships exchanged
broadsides without inflicting muco
damage, the conditions being very un-
favorable for accurate gunnery, Al-
though the Bristol's consorts were
at feast 100 miles astern, the German
Would not stand and fight. Altering
his course, he gradually drew away
from the Bristol owing to superior
speed, and after half an hour was
out of range of the British ship's
six-ineh bowcltaser. All tlirougli the
night the ,chase lasted, but somewhere
in the darkness the German doubled
and made off south to San Juan where
he put in for coal some days ago,
Details of this action were brought
to Halifax last Friday by H.M.S, Suf.
folk, the flagship of Rear -Admiral
Cradoek, -commanding the fourth
cruiser squadron.
"Nineteen thousand yards was the
closest we got to her," said the flag
captain of the Suffolk. "The Bristol
was to the north of us and the Ber-
wick to the south. We called 'loth
of them up by wireless and oruered
them to aid in the chase. The Ber-
wick tried to cut off the Kronprinz
Wilhelm, while the Bristol took a
position to intercept the Karlsruhe..
All afternoon we raced after the fly-
ing German, By 6 o'clock her smoke
had disappeared, and then all our
hopes centred in the Bristol picking
her up. At 9 o'clock that night the
welcome news came through the air
.to us from the Bristol: "Enemy in
sight.'' A few minutes later came
the message: "We are engaging the
enemy."
"Although we must have been fully
one hundred miles astern by then,
we raced on for all we were worth.
We had no fear of the result if the
German• stood up to the' Bristol, fqr,
we were all sure that our fellows
could whip. the 'Karlsruhe easily at
close quarters, but wanted to be in
at the finish ourselves,
"The Karlsruhe had the heels of
the Bristol, too. They were in action
for just about half an hour. For a
few minutes the German stood up,
and the ships fought broadside to
"broadside, the Bristol using her two',
6-inchers and the five 4-inclrers on
ler broadside against the Karlsruhe's
five 4.1's. After a few minutes, Trow -
ever, the Karlsruhe turned and ran.
The Bristol chased her, firing her for-
ward 6-incher. It was difficult to make
anything like good practice. It was •
•pitch dark and the sea was heavy.
Not one of the German sheIis landed
anywhere near the Bristol, but our
chaps think they 'got some shots
aboard the Karlsruhe. However, i
Iong-range fighting, under thpse
ditions, it is pretty, .,.difltctllt to do
mucic, and theme •Kt:arlsruhe's speed
saved ler gain."
, GERMANS FALL -BACK
iPrench Troops Attacked Aggressively
--Captured Many Prisoners
The following official statement was
issued at Paris late Sunday night:
"A forward movement developed Sun-
day all along the front from Becht -
court (Rixingen), in Lorraine, eleven
miles southwest of Saarebourg, to
Sainte Marie -aux -Mines. We carried
the latter and advanced into the re-
gion- of Saint Blaiz.
• "The French troops, who occupied
Donau on Saturday, continued to ad-
vance, their progress being especially
rapid in the Schlrmeck valley, W
have taken 1,000 prisoners in ad
dition to rive hundred on Friday.
Large quantities of equipment were
abandoned by 'the Germans; we have
also captured this, We pushed as
far as Lorquin Heights, capturing a
convoy belonging to a cavalry divis-
ion, consisting of nineteen automo-
biles and lorries.
"The Germans attacked Dinant (in
Belgium). Their force consisted of a
guard division and the first cavalry
division, supported by several bat
taIlions of infantry and machine gun
companies. When these forces ap-
peared on the left bank the French
attacked with great vigor and dash.
The Germans soon gave way and
recrossed the Meuse in , great die -
order. Many who failed to reach the
bridge slipped down the steep bank
and fell into the swiftly -flowing river
and were drowned.
"Profiting by the disorder, a French
light cavalry regiment followed over
the river and pursued the Germans
for many miles. This regiment put
to flight and drove before it greatly
superior forces of German cavalry."

established three classifications for

No one has for a moment dcul,to3
:he loyalty of our German brotherly
here. The German here naturally
sympathizers with hie flesh and blocd
in the Fatherland but knows full well
that the Kaiser is to .blame for this
terrible war which has staggered the
natione. It is in the interest of the
world wide pease,and also the welfare
of the German people that 11.e
malitariste who have so long eni•:r uta d
Germany shall bite the very dust. Pro
fessor F. V. Riethdorf of the staff of
Wood,+tock Oollege, and a former Ger-
man soldier, has written a remarkable
letter in denunciation of the German
Kaiser, which is published here. After
stating that the quarrel in the present
war is not with the German people.
Professor Rinthdorf says :
"We must deeply sympathize
with the German people in the suf-
ferings and dangers brought upon
them by their ruling classes, by an
oligarohie, insane, military govern-
ment. It is the Germany of the
'clinched fist' and the `drawn
sword', of the 'shining armor' and
the 'sabre rattling in the scabbard'
that calls for no sympathy on our
part. It is the German fiat has
precipitated the monstrous world
struggle of the day that fills us alt
with borrow and indignation.
"1 rem a native German and a
former German soldier. My own
position in this struggle is perfect-
ly clear. My loyalty to the British
flag makes' me etand against any
and all enemies of Britain. If need
be I should even light against Ger-
many, though with a bleediog
heart, Furthermore, I desire die•
aster to the German army in this
war, for the reason that it will
mean restoration of fellowship a-
mong the western natione for one
of the greatest peoples of Europe.
A liberated, free, democratic Ger-
many will start on a new and last.
ing era of prosperity, of peace, arm
in arm 'with England and France.
Germany's defeat will mean the
establishment of a German repute.
He, and the elimination of William

Such things as 'divine right' and
~mailed first' are anathronierns, an
insult to the intelligence of the
peoples of the twentieth century.
William If. is the common foe of

Defeat of Germany in this war
means ultimate salvation and free-
dom for her; Germany will be the
greatest gainer through defeat,,"
