WARSHIP AT
BOTTOM AS
WELL AS
BLEUCHER
Berlin Official Report of North
v Sea Engagement Declares
English Battle Cruiser Sunk.
The Fight Lasted Three
Hours.
London, 12:35 p. m.—The German
official ieport on Sunday’s fight ad
mits the sinking of the battle cruiser
Bluecher, but offsets this loss with
tbe assertion “according to informa
tion available, one British battle
cruiser was sunk.” This statement
has been directly denied by the Brit
ish admiralty which says clearly: “No
British ships have been lost.”
First Battle, Dreadnoughts.
London, 12:36 p. m.—The news of
the first battle between dreadnoughts,
yesterday's naval engagement in tho
North Sea has aroused much more
enthusiasm among the British public
than either the fight off Helgoland or
off the Falkland Islands. although
both these engagements perhaps
loomed larger in actual results. To
the English public the combat of
yesterday means the triumph of their
long time confidence in their big gun
fleet and it calms the fear of the east
coast, of frequent repetitions of the
Hartlepool and Scarborough raid. Sir
David Beatty, the youngest admiral in
the British navy has become the most
popular hero of the war.
Lastid Three Hours.
Berlin, (via London, 11:35 a. m.)
The following official announcement
on the naval engagement In the North
Sea yesterday was given out in Ber
lin today:
“During the advance of our armor
ed cruisers Seydiltz, Derflinger,
Moltke and Bluecher, which accom
panied by four smaller cruisers and
two flotillas of torpedo boats was
steaming in the North Sea, these ves
sels became engaged with a British
detachment composed of five battle
cruisers, several small cruisers and
twenty-six torpedo boat destroyers.
"The enemy discontinued the en
gagement after three hours time at a
point seventy miles west —northwest
of Helgoland and retreated.
“According to the information avail
able, one British battle cruiser and
one of our armored cruisers, the
Bluecher were sunk. All the other
German ships returned to port.

NEW SEA GUN
OF GEHMANS
IS MONSTER;
READY FOR
CHANNEL
Will Command the English
Coast From Calais Six Miles
Inland. Projectile Weighs
a Ton, Range of Twenty-
Five Miles.
Amsterdam, (via London, 10:15 a.
m.) —A German mlllL-ry newspaper
announces that a new naval gun of
16-inch calibre and with a range of
25 miles has been created.
Remarkable Figures.
Berlin (via. London, 11:30 a. m.)—
Remarkable figures regarding a new
German naval gun are given by a Ger
man artillery expert writing in the
Artilleristche Monats Hefte. In dis
cussing an assertion by The London
Times that the German navy possesses
a gun which carries three miles fur
ther than the best British weapon, the
writer admits that the Krupp* are
manufacturing a gun whose projectile
weighs 920 kilograms (about a ton)
and which develops muzzle velocity of
940 metres (about 3,700 feet) a second.
The expert reckons from these figures
that the gun has 58 per cent more
nozzle force than the British navy’s
best weapon and has a range of about
42 kilometres (about 28 miles), while
the channel at Dover Is only 33 kilo
metres (about 22 miles) wide. He
says the figures given, if correct, will
permit tho Germans eventually to com
mand the English coast from Calais
for a distance of nine kilometres
(about six miles) Inland with the gun.
FRENCH OFFICIAL

Vienna reports the Austrians have

Russian army which invaded Ruko
wina. An official statement from the

Large Orders Here for Rus

Washington.—Germany protested to
tli© state department today through
her ambassador, Count Bernstorff,
against shipments of American hydro
aeroplanes to the European belliger
ents on the ground that such aircraft
are war vessels.
Under Construction.
“The Curtiss Works at Hammonds
port, N. Y., have sold and sent to
England tho well-known hydro-aero
plane 'America’ and five hydro-aero
planes of the same kind,” says a
statement issued hy the embassy.
“Thirty-six hydro-aeroplanes of a
different type have been ordered hy
England and are under construction
by the form. Also Russia has order
ed a number of these vessels from the
Curtiss for use in her navy.
“There is no doubt, and It does not
need any explanation that from the
standpoint of international law, hy
dro-aeroplanes have to be considered
as war vessels and that thertefore
by article VIII, of the agreement con
cluded at The Hague on October 18,
1907, neutral countries are prohibited
to supply belligerent countries with
such vessels.
Breach of Neutrality.
The selling of vhdro-neroplnnes by
the Curtiss works therefore constitu
tes a breach of neutrality. Hydro
aeroplanes are not especially mention
ed in The Tague agreement for the
simple reason that this kind of war
vessel did not yet exist at that time."

MOTION MAD? FOR THAW
TO GO TO BELLEVUE TO
DETERMINE HIS SANITY
Now York.—A motion to have Harry
IC. Thaw sent to Bellevue hospital so
it might be determined there whether
lie were sane was made today hy
Thaw’s attorneys at his arraignment
In the supreme court here on a charge
of conspiring with others tu effecting
his escape from tho Matteawan asylum
in August 1913.
Decision on the motion was reserved.
No attempt was made to obtain
Thaw's release on bail. He was re
manded hack to Tombs prison.
Justice Davis announced Inter Thaw
would he arraigned next Wednesday.
Tlw Justice will, on that date, decide
the motion to have Thaw sent to Belle
vue.
Thaw appeared irt court accompa
nied by two prison wardens. During
the dlHeusslng and arguing of the mo
tions. his face occasionally would
light, up with a smile of recognition
for men at the press table, or among
court attendants. Mr. Stanchfteld,
one of Thaw’s attorneys In announc
ing he did not expect to apply for
hall, said It waa hi* intention not to
hamper the course of justice.
Pleading on his motion to have
Tha.w committed to Bellevue he said
an act of the legislature passed In
1910 regulated cases such as that of
Thaw tiy decreeing that in the case
of a person charged with a crime for
which the maximum punishment la
$500; or a year in Jail, and found ap
parently to be insane, the Judge must
send him to Bellevue, where he must
he examined. If he tie found sa.ne
he must lie returned to the Jurisdic
tion of the state and the trial must
be resumed.
Mr. Jerome's rejoinder was that
there are but two ways In which Thaw
may get. out of Matteawan. One is
for the superintenden of the institu
tion to certify before a Justice of the
supreme court that Thaw ts sane, and
tho second ia by suing out a writ of
habeas corpus, As for the latter
method that, has been tried three
times, the prosecutor said and In case
the Justice decided that the defendant
was Insane.
Morgan J. O'Brien of Thaw's coun
sel, said It. was a serious matter to
send Thaw to Matteawan when tho
mandate of the supreme court order
ed him returned to the Jurisdiction of
New York state.
“If Thaw is able, on trial for con
spiracy, to prove that he is sane," the
lawyer said, “no Judge would have
the courage to send him back to the
horrors of an asylum.”

Joint Report of Secy’s M’Adoo
and Redfield Submitted as
Argument in Favor of Ship
Purchase Bill. Conditions
Particularly Onerous on South
By Enormous Ocean Freights.
Washington.—Senator Root led the
republican attack on the administra
tion ship bill in the senate today with
a denunciation of the democratic cau
cus, which made the bill a party mea
sure; of tile parliamentary tactics by
which tlic democrat* have so far forced
the republicans to do all the debating,
and, finally, with a denunciation of th*
bill itself.
Enormous Jumps.
Washington.—Evidence of extraordi
nary advances in trans-Atlantic fretght
rales since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war, amounting In some Instances
to 900 and even 1,150 per cont, was
presented to the senate today In a
Joint report from Secretaries McAdoo
and Redfield.
“While this report Is being written,"
the statement says, "Information is
received that rates are higher than
those given in some of the tables pre
sented and that even at these extraor
dinary figures It is difficult to obtain
cargo space for earlier sailings than
March and April.'
141 Per Cant Over Cost.
In one year, if American exports
maintain the December, 1914, level, the
report declares, the Increased rates
will make a charge of $216,224,400 on
American shippers and that If the Im
ports he Included on the same basis
of calculation the amount would reach
the silm of s3l 1,864,400, or 141.6 per
cent over the usual cost. If normal
rates are taken In conjunction with
the abnormal on the December basis
the freight charges on both exports
and Imports in a year would total
$532,110,000.
Heaviest Tax on South.
“It will he observed," says the report,
“that the greatest Increases In rate*
and the heaviest tax has been made
upon the products 1n which the Amer
ican farmer Is most concerned, namely,
grain and cotton.
"This Increase ts particularly oner
ous upon the cotton producers ot the
Bouth, because It comes at a time when
the effects of the war have greatly
reduced the value of cotton and when
the Houthern farmers are least able
to bear additional burdens.
Against Unitad State*.
The report concludes with an argu
ment In favor of the ship purchase
Mil, In which the senate Is reminded
that such unusual freight charge*, If
continued, may result in creating a
big bslance of trade against this na
tion. It points out that of American
ships In all trade worth about $600,-
000,000 the bureau of navigation say*
only ships valued at $69,000,000 are In
