The Meteor is one of the largest and fastest torpedo boat destroyers affedat. She is one of thirteen of her cluss built under the naval estimates of 1913. . An additional dozen of shmilar boats were authorized in the egtimates of 1914, last L, ¥ Witness Tells of Battle. Harwich, Via. London, Jan. 7 1:46 a, m.—A witness of the naval battle on Sunday in the North Sea, who has returned here, describes the inking of the German cruiser Bluecher as a terrible sight. The sea was covered with wreckage and men struggling for their lives. When the British launched a boat to rescue the survivors a monoplane flew verhead and dropped bombs, which though they did not fall nearer than a hundred yards, prevented *yany of the drowning men from being .taken out of the water. British Destroyer Struck. One British destroyer was struck by a German shell, which pierced her boilers and put her out of action. She was towed to the east shore base for repairs. Throughout the progress of the paction the British vessels were con- stantly attacked by German sub- marines, but British torpedo boat de- “TIZ” FOR ACHING, SORE, TIRED FEET for tender, puffed-up, burn- ing, calloused fecet and corns. - w1z “Sure!

A German survivor admits that the objective of the German squadron was a port on the east coast of Emgland.

The red pantaloons were long in passing. The heroic associations of their eighty-five years' reign made a change seem a sort of sacrilege, and in spite of the lessons of the Trans- veal, the army clung fondly to the old Ted, immortalized on so many fields of battle and familiarized to the world by Detaille and other military paint- ers. men who become Napoleon Opposed Red. Napoleon the Frst was opposed to red for the infantry. The \adoption of this color must be credited to Viconte de Vaux, minister of war in 1829, and it was his sole contribu- tion to military history. During the second empire a pro- posed change to blue was defeated by the minister of agriculture, who objected that the change would ruin a thriving industry in the department of Vaucluse, which furnished the “madder” with which the cloth was dyed. After the Transvaal campaign the question came up again and the niinister of war appointed a commis- sion to examine it. Nothing de- veloped and the Japanese-Russian war broke out and the question being agitated again, the minister of war appointed another commission. Third Commission Appointed. After the Balkan war, during which the Bulgarian officers found it expedi- ent to tear off the red trimming of their cloaks, a third commission was appointed. In 1903 the Boer colors were most favored. In 1905 a sort of violet blue had more partisans. In 1910 grayish green was preferred and specimen uniforms of this color, de- signed by Detaille, were worn by se- lected companies at the manoeuvres. Made in Germany. In the meantime commercial war had bested the industry of the de- partment of Vaucluse and the color- ing matter for the French infantry pintaloons was made in Germany. No commercial obstacle remained, but official routine had tangled the ques- tion in so much red tape that the out- break of the war found the army still in the conspicuous red trousers. Millerand abolished all commissions and dressed the class of 1914 in the shade he preferred. CONNECTICUT LABOR LAW, Becomes Inoperative by Annullment of Kansas Coercion Statute. Hartford, Jan. 28.—The labor law in Connecticut, which has been made inoperative by the decision of the su- preme court of the United States in the Kansas so-called coercion statute which was declared unconstitutional on Monday is section 10 of the gen- eral statutes of 1902, section 12 97 entitled “Attempt to prevent laborers joining 1labor organizations." The law reads: “Every person and every agent or officer of any corporation who shall coerce or compel, ar at- tempt to coerce or compel, any la- borer, mechanic, or other employe in the employ of such person or corpor- ations, to agree, that as a condition of retaining his position as such em- ploye, he will not join any labor or- ganization shall be flned not more than two hundred dollars, or be im. prisoned not more than six months, or both."

The most interesting of these is how the threatened bombardment of the city itsclf was averted. After shelling the railroad line nes Pajas, a British cruiser appeared fere Alexandrette, where, meanwhile, the two locomotives of a train which had been partly demonished by British shells also arrived. The commander of the British vessel demanded the surrender of the garrison of Alexan- be- the city within eighteen hours under penalty of bombardment of all public Lulldings. Reply of Turkish Commander, The reply made by the Turkish commander was that for each Turk killed he would hang an Englishman. In the end it was arranged that the biowing up of the two locomotives which had escaped the bombardment at Pajas would settle the matter. The correspondent speaks of the loco- motives as ‘“culpable,” but does not explain the reason why he uses this term. Later in the day the Turkish com- mander sent word to the British cruiger that he could not find any dynamite for the blowing up of the locomotiv All dynamite had been sent to Damascus, he asserted. The commander of the British cruiser then offered to supply enough ex- lccomotives. Steals Mobile Train. While these pourparlers were in progress a Turkish locomotive en- gineer had quietly steamed to Pajas, hooked his engine to the partly de- raolished but still mobile train and then made off in the direction of Mer- sina. When the English heard of this they made the two locomotives in | Alexandrette useless, and then | steamed back to Pajas, too late, how- ever, to reach the train with their guns. With throttle wide open the Turkish engineer was well away tuwards the interior when the British cruiser arrived at Pajas. To make the humiliation of British more complete they had mean- | while been joined by the Russian cruiser “Askold.” When the two re- trrned to Alexandrette they found that the commander of the city still in- sisted that for each Turk killed in the proposed bombardment an English- man would be killed, not by breaking his neck at the end of the rope, but by strangulation, possibly, the most horrible form of death: Checkmated, the two cruisers steamed for other parts. BASEBALL SEASON ON PANAMA CANAL ZONE Opens in Earnest With Formation of New Eight Team League—Close Race for Pennant. Panama, Jan. 28 (Correspondence of the Associated Press).—With the beginning of the dry weather which lasts until May, the baseball season on the Canal Zone began in earnest with the formation of a new eight team league. All the players are either employes of the Panama Canal or enlisted men in the various military | crganizations stationed on the Isthmus. Already a number of games have been played, enough to show that the teams are very evenly matched and that the race for the pennant likely will prove a very close and interesting one. The games are usually played on Sundays and holi- days, a regular schedule having been prepared. ivery team is-pledged to refrain from professional practices, and bet- ting on the games is absolutely for- bidden by the Panama Canal govern- ment which will dismiss any one from ity services found guilty of doing so. Immediately after the formation of the new league Colonel George W. Goethals, governor of the Panama Canal, announced that he would not only present the winning team of the season with a handsome pennant, but | would also give various valuable | prizes to individual ple TERS PROTES in Cable Communi- | | United 26, cation With States.

Berlin, Jan. 28, (Correspondence of the Associated Press) Roland von Berlin” brings the following anecdote cencerning the Emperor and a general designated as “B.” During his recent trip to the East- ern theater of war, the Emperor paid a visit to the general in question, and stowed the keenest interest in, and | most intimate knowledge of, what the army corps commanded by “B” had done. The corps in question was one of the very best, said the Emperor to the general in the presence of the staff officers, and he hoped that it would continue its fine work The conversation had taken place in the building in which the head- guarters of the general were located. After shaking hands with the officers, the Emperor left, accompanied by Beneral “B" and some of his aides When the party reached the door it wag found that several thousand Rus sian prisoners were being marched past. For moment the emperor | ched the procession, then, with a | proad smile on his face, turned General “B” with the words “I will say, General, that cleverly done.” The smiles of wider yet when General ‘B tried a to this is the Emperor the to explain grew embarrassed that it rman Emperor Smiles and Tells His | | Philanihropc F Such 1dsa, New York, Jam danger that the foundations with sources might churches, schools as the has done to John D, yesterday, at the | country ! iden gested | being conductea the foundations mission on indust Such an effo said, would ne in the first place, United States wi such a thing, and, dations had no sul purpose, he sald, better conditions, “Court of Referring to dation, he dec! remote future that its directors of the same high at present cont had no objection, of lagt resort,” col ident of the Un ernor of New ¥ idents of seve the power of vi tion: but he did | an amendment necessary He within the term | foundation coutd] | itice, “in the di | or in anything | philanthropic pul When the h Iockefeller and another meetin | graphed shaking: | “Mother" “After we ha sald Mother Joi come out to Coll the things I h what you see wil which will make try's greatest m Mr. Rockefell “I'm afrald you compliments."
