BIG BATTLESHIP LOSTJBBBITAIN Bulwark Blown Up in Estuary of River Medway, Near London. ALMOST ENTIRE CREW GONE -4 Between 700 and 800 Men Killed—Be lieved to Have Been Caused by Ex plosion of the Magazine—Russians Claim Victory Which Is Denied by Berlin—Little Fighting in Flanders. London, Nov. 27.—The battleship Bulwark of Great Britain was blown up and sunk in the estuary of the Medway river. Between 700 and 800 men were lost, Including Capt. Guy Belater, her commander, and all her officers. Only 14 of her crew were saved. It is announced officially that the ex plosion was interior and originated in 'the ship's magazine. The disaster is the most appalling, ■with the exception of the loss of the Audacious, the British navy has suf fered in war. The men aboard her had not a lighting chance for their lives. The boat sank in three min utes. The band was playing aboard the Bulwark. Near her were anchored several other ships. Churchill Announces Disaster. Suddenly a terrific explosion oc curred in the bowels of the ship. A great cloud of smoke arose, envelop ing the Bulwark and shutting her from sight. A great white flash of fire streaked through the black veil; the smoke cloud thickened and rolled out ward and upward. Announcement of the loss of the Bul wark In Sheerness harbor was made in the house of commons by Winston Churchill, first lord of the admiralty. Only Twelve Are Saved. Mr. Churchill’s official statement fol lows: "The battleship Bulwark was lying In the harbor at Sheerness when she was blown up. The disaster occurred at 7:53 o’clock in the morning. The ship was tom absolutely asunder and had entirely disappeared when the smoke cleared away. It Is the opinion of the admirals at Sheeraess that the ship was destroyed by an explosion of the magazine. Only 14 members of the crew were saved. The destruction of the Bulwark will not sensibly af fect our military or naval position.” Chief Loss Is in Men. The Bulwark was of 15,000 tons dis placement. It wai4 laid down in 1889 and completed in 1902. It was 411 feet lung, 75 feet wide, and drew 29 feet of water. Its armament consisted of four 12-inch guns, 12 6-Inch guns, 16 12-pounders, six 3-pounders and four submerged torpedo tubes. It had a complement of 750 men. It cost $5,000, 000. Although too old to be any longer in the first fighting line, the Bulwark still was a useful unit. The loss of the ship, however, was nothing compared with the heavy loss in trained officers and men. The Bulwark in its early, ca reer was quite a favored ship. For a long time it was the flagship of Ad miral Charles Beresford in the Medi terranean. STAFF MAKES NO BIG CLAIMS Petrograd Official Announcement Sim ply Report* Victory Over the German Forces. London, Nov. 27.—The Russian gen eral staff still is withholding the de tails of the victory which all other dispatches from Petrograd say the Russians have won over the German forces which penetrated Poland.

The Germans, on the other hand, claim they have inflicted heavy losses on the Russians between Lodz and Lowicz. Lord Kitchener in the house of lords today stated that “the re-enforced Rus sian troops in this neighborhood have been able to check and defeat the Ger mans with, I believe, heavier losses than they ever sustained before.” The Russians are said to be continu ing their advances through the Car pathians in western Galicia and against Cracow and also are forming a half-circle around East Prussia to avoid the well-fortified and difficult Mazurian lake region.

In these battles our young troops did brilliantly in spite of great sacrifices. “We have not succeeded in bring ing this fighting to a close in spite of the excellent results already gained. This is due to the enemy bringing up extra strong re-enforcements from the east and the west.
