Sheerness, England, Nov. 28. It Is
believed that the explosion on tho Bui

About eight hundred lives wero lost,
as the vessel sank before the dense
cloud of sinoko mid flame cleared
awny. Fourteen members of the crew
escaped death and wero picked up by
vessels which quickly cumu to the
scene.
Next to the drcadnaught Audacious,
sunk by a mine off tho north con 1 of
Ireland on October 27, the Bulwark Is
tho most serlouB slnglo loss that the
Urltlsh navy has so fur suffered in the
war.
Plan to 81ft Disaster.
It Is believed that the Huhvark's ex
plosion occurred In tho shlp'B forward
magazine Whether It was caused by
accident or design Is a question to be
determined by the commission which
has been appointed to investigate.
There Is llttlo evidence that tho
Bhlp was torpedoed or struck by a
mine.
Tho force of tho explosion was so
great that on some of tho other ves
bcIb lying in tho harbor there was not
a piece of glass or crockery left whole,
even half-inch plate glass In tho port
holes being shattered.
Houses seven and eight miles dis
tant wero shaken und windows broken.
Pieces of tho ship oven wore thrown
Blx or sovon miles on tho Essex shorn
Tho Bulwark, which wub ono of tho
older battleships, cost .C 1,000,000
($5,000,000) It displaced 15,000 tons
and had been In service about fifteen
years.
Churchill Announces Loss.
London, Nov. 27. It was officially
nnnounced by Winston Spencer
Churchill, first lord of tho admiralty,
that tho British battleship Bulwark
had been blown up off Sheerness, on
the Thames, 35 miles down the river
from London.
A vice-admiral and a rear-t. .mlral
who wero at Sheerness reported that
they wero convinced that tho disaster
was caused by a magazine explosion.
Mr. Churchill, speaking in the house
of commons concerning the disaster,
Bald: "Tho loss of tho ship doea not
Benslbly affect our military position,
but 1. regret tho loss of llfo, which was
very heavy. Only 14 men wero saved.
All tho officers and tho rest of the
crow, which ordinarily numbered be
tween 700 and 800, perished."
German Naval Victories.
Gorman submarines hnvo sunk two
moro British steamships and a Her
man mlno has sont to the bottom a
British naval colllor, according to ad
mission of tho British admiralty.
The submarine victims were tho
merchantmen Mnlnchlto and Prlmo.
Thoy wero destroyed in tho English
channel.
Cpmlng on tho heels of tho appall
ing tlisnster which befell tho Urltlsh
battleship Bulwark, when It wns blown
up with tho loss of moro than 750 ofll
cers und men, these new evidences of
hostllo nnval menuco nt tho very gntes
of London hns served to spread con
Bternatlon over England.
Churchill Seeks to Allays Fear.
A supremo effort to allay tho grow
ing terror of tho British people was
jmndo In nn extraordinary speech In
,tho house of commons by Winston
Churchill, first lord of tho ..dmlrnlty.
Ho reviewed tho operations of tho Brit
ish fleet in tho war nnd contrasted tho
present und prospective strength of
tho British fleot with that of tho Ger
man fleet, declaring new warships
were being finished so rapidly li. Eng.

"At tho beginning of tho war wo

NO DETAIL8 OF VICTORY.
Petrograd Claims Success In Poland
but Report Is Meager.
London, Nov. 27. Tho Hussion gen
eral staff still Is withholding tho de
tails of the victory which all other
dispatches from Petrograd say the
Russians havo won over the German
forces which penetrated Poland.
Tonight's olllclnl report simply says
tho battle continues to develop to the
advantngo of the Russians nnd that
the Germans are trying to extricate
themselves from n position very un
favorable to them.
The Germans, on the other hand,
claim they have Indicted heavy losses
on the Russians between Lodz nnd Lo
wlcz. The military authorities In Petro
grad, assuming that the unofficial re
ports of a victory uro true, express
astonishment that the Germans should
hnve attacked Lodz, for they say de
feat there was Inevitable.
The Germans who advanced from
tho north and south, these military

SOUTH AMERICA WOULD BE RID
OF EUROPEAN WARSHIPS.
Belgians Do Not Receive Enough to
Keep Them Alive Appeals to
College Men for
Help.
Western Newspaper Union News Service,
Washington. The United States
government has been asked by the
principal nations of South America to
co-operate with them in negotiations
with the belligerent powers, of Europe
to bring about the exclusion of all
belligerent warships from the waters
of the two Americas and safeguard
the trade of Pan-American countries
with ench other. Argentine, Chllo,
Peru and Uruguay have laid their sug
gestions before the Washington gov.
eminent, while tho Brazilian govern
ment Is considering the advisability of
taking a similar stop. Practically all
the Central .und South American coun
tries have been circularized by some
of the principal nations, resulting in a
series of diplomatic conferences in
Washington and the capitals of South
America, which are now In progress.
Appeals to College Men.
Washington. An appeal to univer
sity, college and school pupils for as
sistance in alleviating suffering and
distress in Europe has been issued
by tho American Red Cross.
"Frequently operations have to be
performed without anaesthetics," the
appeal says, "the lack of gauze band
ages and absorbent cotton produces
infection, ending often in death from
gangrene or tetanus. The armies en
gaged are composed of young men of
our own age and for this reason it
seems particularly fitting that their
suffering should appeal to you."

date the United States, upon which
the Belgians must depend in the'maln
for sustonnnce, has furnished less
thnn hnlf that amount. Ten ounces

death by hunger. The foregoing
epitomizes a statement issued by tho
Amorlcnn commission for the relief of
Belgians, carrying a plen for tho small
quantity of food specified for each in
