Big Supcr-Drcadnought, Costing $12,.
000,000 Sent to Bottom Italy
Declares War On Turkey.
London. A dispatch to tho Central
News from Petrograd says that tho
Germans lost the battlo cruiser
Moltke, threo crulsors and seven tor
pedo boats In the Riga battlo last
weok.
week. The report says tho Ger
mans tried to mako a descent
near Pompvin (Pemnigol, on
the cast shore of tho Gulf of Riga,
some thlrty-llvo miles north of Riga).
Four barges crammed with soldlors
took part In the descent. Thoy were
repulsed by tho Russian troops with
out tho co-operation of artillery, tho
Germans being exterminated nnd tho
barges captured.
Tho German battle cruiser Moltko
was a vessel of 23,000 tons and car
ried in ordinary times, to complement
of 1,107 men. It was a sister ship of
tho famous Coeben, which became a
part of tho Turkish navy after tho
commencement of the war and was

Tho Moltke was 500 feet long and
was armed wIUi ten eleven-Inch guns
and twelve six-inch guns and twelve
twenty-four pounders. In addition,
Its armament Included four twenty
Inch torpedo tubes. It was built In
1911 and had a speed of about twenty
eight knots.
Tho Moltke was In tho battlo with

cost ofthe Moltke was about $12,
000,000. Italy at War With Turkey.
Rome. Italy declared war on Tur
key August 21. The Italian ambas
sador at Constantinople asked for his
passports and departed. Ostensibly,
Italy's reason for declaring war was
that Turkey refused to permit Ital
ian reservists to return to their na
tive country to take up arms against
Austria, Turkey's nlly. Rome news
papers also charged that tho Turks
were plotting to regain Tripoli, an
nexed by Italy following tho Turko
Italian war of 1912, and that Italian
subjects In Turkey have been mis
treated. Reports two weeks ago were that
Italy had concentrated 150,000 troops
and a fleet of transports near Taran
to to aid in the Dardanelles campaign.
Germany is expected to be at war
with Italy before long. Berlin news
papers several weeks ago declared
Italian newspapers woro paving tho
way for war with Turkey by printing
stories of alleged Turkish outrages
against Italians.
