The kaiser is putting his recruits through all the bayonet drills in the manual and the photograph shows some of them drilling at Potsdam barracks. (Correspondence of the Associated FtfuO BERLIN, Feb. 6. The German newspapers have commenced the publication of a series of "eye wit ness' articles on naval affairs, writ ten by Otto ron Oottberg. a well known author. Of the battle of Jan oatr S4, In which the German cruiser Bluecher was sunk, Von Gott berg, writing from interviews with par ticipants, mostly orflcers, says the German squadron was made up of the first-class trulBers Bluecher, SeydllU, Derffllnger and Moltke, the smaller cruisers Kolberg, 8tralsund, Graudens and Rostock, of wnlch the last two were not engSRed In the actual fighting, and of torpedo craft. The Kolberg win the first to night the enemy, a small BrltUh cruiser, accom panied by destroyers. The remainder of the British fleet u still below the horizon. The Kolberg immediately opened fire. After several mlnutea the British hip opened with one of Its forward suns and then began an artillery d'ifl Iwtween the two small cruiser. The Kolberg noted that several of Its shell made Rood hits The Kolberg received two nrltlsh hells, one from a l-centlmeter -lnch) run and the other from a 10 1-centlmeter (-Inch gun. Neither ahot did murh ma terial damage, but three men ware killed and two wounded. British Fleet BUhtr. The Kolberg steamed ahead and was1 planning to close with the enemy. How ever, Ita slatar cruiser, the Btrelsund, steaming further to the right and a long dlstanee ahead of the squadron, had sighted the main body of the British fleet oomlng up and signaled to' the admiral en board the Beydllts. Eight large hos tile ships sighted on the starboard bow." The flagship thereupon signaled a com mand which swung the great German cruisers around and closed the umbrella screen of destroyers. The fleet now headed southeast The British ships again had dropped out of sight snd did not ap pear untir some time later, when the pilot of the Moltke called attention to five big hips on the starboard quarter, that Is, to the westward on the opoalts side from those sajn before. Shell nrraes Them. "The commander and the pilot," writes Von Ootlberg, "were still studying through their glasses the five scsrcely visible shadows on the gray waves when a big shell struck the water 600 yards away, throwing up high pillar of water. The enemy had unmsskel him self. Either five hitherto unreported big hips hsd been lurking undiscovered be hind our ships or else five of the eight previously sighted hsd made a wide circle completely around our squadron, The German sblps Immediately ans wered the fire of the enemy. In orJer to bring more guns Into action, first the enemy, then the German squadron took the familiar echelon formation, like a flight of steps and steamed along twanty-two kilometres, (thirteen miles an hour) each ship trying by constant turn ing to bring as many guns as possible te bear. The British concentrated their fire on our rearmost ship, the Bluecher, and shortly landed a severe hit over the engine room. This forced the Bluecher to drop back slowly even before It hoisted Us signal after a second shot reached the engine room, 'all engines uselesa." niaerher Om Fir. "The Bluecher was a mass of flames from forebrldge lo stern, the pillar of fire above It towering to the sky. Forty-five minutes later the quarter slack ef the Beydllts also began to blasa.

The British were shooting st a very extreme range In order to keep out ot reach ef our middle artillery.

General Venustiano Carranza, as the first chief of the constitutionalist army, notified the world today that all com munications to his government from outside sources must pass through him. If directed to any general, he said, they must be referred to him anyhow. . Carranza's decree reached Washington through Rafael Zubaran Capmany, his minister of ,the In terior, who telegraphed it to Ellseo Arredondo, Carranza's local repre sentative. The order, apparently, will make It Impossible for diplomatic repre sentatives of foreign governments to deal with the Carranza government except by going to Vera Crus, which they have been unwilling to do lest such action be construed as formal recognition. Already most of the diplomats at Mexico City have asked I their governments for permission to leave; when the situation becomes in tolerable, and some of them have been advised to use their own dis cretion.
