BRITISH AND BERMANS
HAVE BATTLE AT SEA
LONDON, Jan. 23.—The Admiralty
reports a naval engagement off the
Dutch coast between the North Sea
light forces and German destroyer
squadron wherein one German war
ship and one destroyer were sunk
and others scattered. The British
suffered the loss of one destroyer
when an explosion followed a hit
and three officers and forty seamen
were drowned. Many of the British
destroyers were hit, but none seri
ously damaged other than that re
ported. The engagement took place
last night. A large number of
German sailors were rescued by the
British flotilla.
NEW LONDON. Jan. 23.—There
is a persistent report that the
Deutschland is arriving tonight.
LONDON, Jan. 23.—The Admiral
ty is silent in the raider reports
and absolutely no reports are made
public as to the operations of the
ships which are supposed to be pur
suing the commerce destroyer.
Here the belief prevails that the
raider is now safe within German
ports.

that the commerce raiders which J
destroyed so many British and Al- I
lied ships have made a complete
escape and are again in Germany.
Everything indicates that the Ger
man boats have eluded the searching
squadron although the latter is
having its movements veiled in
mystery.
The Entente ships have not hesi
tated to sail during this time from
Brazilian ports. It is believed that
a dearth of rubber occasioned the
daring German raid.

KANSAS STARTS LATEST
PROHIBITION MOVE
TOPEKA, Jan. 22.—In the Kan
sas legislature today was started the
latest prohibition bill. This bill is
directed against the use of tobacco
and is introduced by wet supporters
who are aiming a left handed blow
at prohibition in general. The bill
is very drastic, prohibiting the use
of tobacco in any form and makes
smoking in public places punish
able with a heavy fine.
While the anti-prohibitionists have
started this in order to bring the
prohibition movement into ridicule,
many prohibitionists announce their
intention of supporting the measure
and it may pass.
