Today’s War in Tabloid
Evidences of a sharp sea fight In Chinese waters were brought to
Hong Kon« yesterday when two battered warships, either French or Rrlt-
Ish, arrived there with many wounded. The telegram, apparently cen
sored. did not Identify th« warships but said they were reported to have
been lb action with the Herman cruisers Hcharnhorst and Unelaenau.
A I .on <l<m report say* t.te captain of a Danish steamer declares be
passer) seven sunken Herman ships on the eaHt coast of England. He
could m»t identify them, but helb ved they were warships.
The reported purchase of the Herman cruisers Hoeben and Breslau
by Turkf' has been made the occasion of action by British. French. Bel
gian snd Bin Inn allies, which are to call Turkey’s attention to her duty
as a neutral
Greece is also perturbed by the purchase of the two cruisers which
she consider will upset the equilibrium of power In the Levant.. Russia
is reported from Ht Petersburg to have mobilised 5,600.000 men, 2,000,-
000 of whom are on the Herman and Austrian frontiers.
Today all Is reported quiet along the front., according to official
statements from France and Belgium
Belgian a*counts of yesterday’s cavalry encounter, known ns the
battle of llaelen, give the total Herman casualties as high as three* thous
and killed and wounded. No Herman report of the engagement has come
to hand
The Belgian staff believes the Herman movement at Harden was an
attempt U> reach Brussels which today is stated to be "no longer in dan
ger.”
French official reports say the Belgians captured 2,000 Herman
prisoners at I.lege ami the French have taken 1,500 along the fiontiar.
The Belgian government has requested France to provide places of in
terment owing to lack of room in Belgium.
Aviators are taking a very prominent part In scouting for the
armies In the field and are suffering severely, according to reports. Bel
gian authorities report the destruction of three Herman aeroplanes and
the death «>f two of their pilots, while French reports recount the narrow
escape of a French fcorial scout from Herman flying machines which
