Struggle in Water.
London, 2:16 a. m.— The Scotsman
today publishes the narrative of a Ger
man bluejacket, a survivor of the Ger
man armored cruiser Bluecher, who
once lived in the United States.
The bluejacket said the German fleet
was advancing at full speed to attack
tlie English coast when the British
warships were sighted. The Germans
turned and made for port. The British
overhauled the Bluecher and opened
fire at a range of about ten miles.
Crews Wiped Out.
"We were under fire from first to
last,” the bluejacket continues. "The
British centered their fire on us. Their
fire was awful. Our guns were put
out of action, our decks were swept
end our gun crews wiped' out.
“One shell burst in the heart of the
ship, where many men were killed. I
saw five killed by one shell.
"I do not know what finished the
Bluecher, as she was full of holes, but
I heard she struck a torpedo.
Murderous Gunfire.
"If so we can thank the torpedo for
paving hundreds of lives from the
murderous gunfire. When the ship
was sinking I Jumped clear of her In
to the terribly cold water, which was
full of dead and men with shattered
limbs who were crying for assistance."
The sailor is credited with saying
that during the raid on Scarborough
the men believed they were taking
part In a great naval action which was
extending all over the North Sea.

NOTE, AS TO REASONS GOING TO WAR
London, 5:01 s. m.—The Times today In an editorial dealing with
the recent statement of the German chancellor, Von Bethmazin-Hollweg,
and the reply thereto, of Htr Edward Grey, the British foreign minister,
says:
“We have never denied that England had other reasona for going to
war besides her care for h«r plighted faith. That was a sufficient rea
son tint If the German chancellor thinks he can gain anything by an
iidmlasion that the maintenance of the balance of power was another
reason, he la welcome to It.
“We are quite content to leave It to neutrals to say which Interpre
tation of the chancellor's words they believe, whether the Interpretation
hitherto accepted or the Interpretation he tardily seeks to read Into
them.”
ARGUE THAT AMERICAN FOOD CARGO
FOR GERMANY SHOULD NOT BE LANDED
OWING TO GOV’T SEIZURE OF STOCKS
London, 12:40 p. m.—Tim decision of the German government to
seise stocks of flour and grain, makes those foodstuffs absolute contra
band Instead of conditional contraband, as they were heretofore, argues
the London Globe In a leading article printed today.
"We permitted food to be Imported to Germany,” the newspaper
says, "provided It was Intended for the civil population alone, but now
that It Is tob treated as government property It becomes absolute con
traband and vessels carrying food supplies to the enemy’s port, or to
neutral ports from which these cargoes are. to pass Into Germany, will
do ao at the peril of capture."
The editorial argues that In view of the new status of flour and
grain, the American steamer Wtlheiinlna, which sailed from New York
January 22nd with a cargo of food for Germany, baa no right to laa4
her supplies at Rotterdam.
