Chaw fiharlft GODDESS ENGLISH SI GREA T GERMAN WARSHIP Slav Admiralty Says Two Ger- man Cruisers and Eight Tor- pedo Boats Alto Destroyed. Contiuued from First Page, of Pernov bay, on the northeastern shoulder of the Gulf of Riga. Either the accompanying warships were unable to support the landing of the troops or the Russian strategy In some way overcame the advantage of German naval guns, for the troops were permitted to land and .were then at- tacked and exterminated by the Rus- sian forces at that point. Russ Losses Not Stated. The. Russian troops at Pernov did not even have the support of artillery. Fur thermore they were taken completely by surprise. How they accomplished the utter defeat of a force which must have numbered some 8,000 mon, aided by the gunfire of convoying wars"hlps, and later captured the transports as well Is not explained. In giving this account of Russian suc- cesses In the Gulf of Riga the presi- dent of the duma said nothing respect- ing the Russian losses during the naval engagement or while the Germans were attempting to land a body of men on Pernov bay. Von Hindenburg Cheeked. Along with the news of a naval vic- tory came word from the war office that von Htndenburg's attempt to turn the Russian right flank has met with stubborn resistance that has brought the Germans to a halt. The newspapers headed reports of the Russian naval victory with lines such as "A Great German Rout." and de- manded to know If German newspapers would continue, their talk of a separate peace with Russia. They printed promi- nently the statements of Foreign Min- ister Sazanoff to Petrograd newspaper publishers yesterday with reference to peace rumors. "These rumors of a separate peace are due to repeated enemy overtures to France and Russia," said 'the foreign minister. "These have been totally re- jected. New Attack Not Expected. "The enemy's attempts to sow dis- cord among the allies Is predestined to complete failure. The ties binding the allies are only strengthened thereby, and their confidence In the ultimate at- tainment of their common ends Is un- wavering." Military critics here took the view that the severe defeat reported to have been administered the Germans in the Gulf of Riga engagement will end the attempt to land troops from transports to aid in the attack on Riga. The Ger- mans having once penetrated the gulf with strong forces and having been driven off, It was held that the attempt would not be repeated. if: Read It Here Now THE SEE IT LATER IN THE MOVIES Dramattttd FIFTEENTH INSTALLMENT. BARCLAY'S servants GORDON to admit no one orders. The city was In a turmoil. With each fresh edition of the newspapers the situation of the conspirators became more serious. In the public parka effigies of them were hanged or burned. It became necessary to keep a cordon of police about Barclay's nouse. In Semmes' house and Sturtevant's no window remained whole. For twenty hours these two men had beeen Bar- clay's guests. Gunsdorf's great hour had come that hour for which he had plotted all his life, and lied tor and schemed for. He had been the leading figure In the mob that had tried to lynch the triumvirate in the first burst of rage. And he found himself suddenly at the head of all the lawless elements in the city. He was drunk with power and a sense of his own Importance. But openly h spoke of his love for mankind. Through a man friendly to him and deep in Gunsdorf's councils, Tommy learned that the life of the man who had adopted him and been good to him was In danger. His house was to be stormed over the heads of the police, and himself hanged or torn to pieces, as might happen. All their differences fled from Tom- my's mind and he remembered only their mutual affection: so he hurried to the old familiar house and was presently admitted. "It's Just to say a few words," said Tommy, and he told Barclay what Gunsdorf was planning for that very day. Gordon Barclay had turned very gray In tha last few days. He wai a broken and disappointed roan. BtlU he clung warmly to that remnant of life which remained to him. "We'll go to Gull Island," he said simply, "fill this thing has blown over. I suppose you are not unhappy about what ha happened. It's a pity she came back . . Tommy, when we quarreled I waa ambitious for power only. Later 1 began to think that Celestla waa a real panaoea for a sick world. So that if I had ben destined to rule. 1 would have ruled for the good of the peeple. I want you to know that what began In cynicism epJed In faith and honesty. I have put you back In my will for practically everything I possess. Carlton Fitch has turned knave. Mary. If she marries him, will be worthy of him." "You'll need somebody to keep house for you at Gull Island." said Tommy. He was too moved to refer to what he had Just learned. "I'll get Celestla there as quickly as I can." "Have you married her?" Tommy looked very manly when he Bald that he had. And Barclay smiled on of his old-tim- e dassllng smiles. "And I think." he sata, finally, "that you had better get out of this house as quickly as you can. I'm going, too. I can't afford to be a hero." Thev shook hands and parted, never to me'et In this life again. Late that night Tommy and Celestla and Freddie the Ferret, whom Tommy was trying to train to be his valet, caught the last boat for Bartell's, on Bartell's Island, from which Gull's Island may be reached In an hour In a fast launch. They had had no word of what had happened In New York. At Mlssaquld, the point of departure for Bartell's, there seemed to be somo sort of a rumor tn the air and a state of suppressed excitement. Usually it is a town that goes to bed very early. But this was not the case tonight. There was a rough looking crowd at the station, and at the wharf. Tommy, without arousing suspicion, could not find out If Barclay, Bemmes and Hturtevant had gpne on ahead or were following, "It they are behind us," he said to Calestla, "they'll have to charter some RUSH FOR TICKETS TO POLI OPENING Keen Interest Aroused In Reap- pearance Here of Favorites of Jast Year.

'England shall not be allowed to put her wolves of war in the armor of sheep clothing-mark- ed: Peaceful, U. 8. A.' and under this guise claim the privilege of setting upon Germany or any other nation." This wns the comment of Senator Lewis of Illinois here, en route home from the American Bar Association session at Salt Lake City. "If England converted the passenger ship Arabia Into an arsenal as claimed, then Invited American passengers Inno- cently to risk their lives in taking passago on such a ship, England Is the offender against America," he con- tinued. "The United States will not allow England to force its Into war with Germany as the result of deliber- ate acts of England." Colonel McElroy 1o Attend New Hampshire Reunion Col.

A rounded, billowing top Is set upon high, almost perpendicular, sides There Is only one l&ndlng place, and from this the habit- able portions of the island are reached by a steep and narrow path. A deter- mined man with a pile of cobblestones could stand off an army. It was Gordon Barclay's favorite es- tate. The timber was mostly scrub oak and scrubby little pines, but In a dense grove of these Barclay had built a low, rambling house which was very dear to him, and wonderful rose gardens which were een dearer. In this Island retreat, open and ready for the master the year round, the tri- umvirate. If only they could reach It, would be as safe from mob violence as on a ship at sea. A steep climb, a wild expanse of star- lit moor, little ancient trees growing very close together, a strong perfume of bayberry bushes, of sweet fern and roses, and then the d, softly-lighte- d hall, with many men servants, a cool delightful night, soundly slept these were Celestla'a first impressions of Gull Island. In the morning .she went with htr husband to the eastern cliffs, and she had her first look at the ocean sullenly tumbling, w hlte-man- under a gray and sullen sky. Tho wind blew In their face a cutting, wot wind, the beginning of an easterly storm. In short. It was about as natay a morning as you could ask for. But to Celestla and Tommy the weather seemed heavenly, and expressly manu- factured for lovars and love-makin- g.

There was a fountain a bronze youth arms akimbo, who with nurred cheeks blew a fine spray of water. Him certain stray violent men pried from his base and used, swinging him by the feet and arms, to batter down the solid, heavy front door of the house. This done the leaders rushed In, and for a moment were halted by the un- compromising dignity and grandeur of the hall. Facing them was a flight of marble steps. At the top of these stood Gordon Barclay, When the crowd rec- ognized htm they yelled like a pack of wolves. The corners of his mouth twitched with a kind of glassy con- tempt. He turned slowly and passed through a doorway that was Just behind him. slammed the door shut and lockod it. Not til! then did he show a sign of fear or haste. Now. however, he ran swiftly through the library, out at tho other end, and down a back stair to the service courtyard.

On the box sat two brave and handsome young men In tha Barclay livery. In the body of the car aat Semmes and Sturtevant. Bturtawaat looked furiously angry. Semmes looked seasick At the gates stood two footmen ready to fling them open. Most of the crowd was at the front of the house. In the narrow alley at the back there waa only a scattering of riffraff. One of the men on the box handled a double-barrele- d shotgun. In Sturtevant's hand, cooked, was a .45 automatic. Meanwhile the bronze boy of tha fountain came up the front stair, bat- tered head first, and was used to ram down the door behind which Barclay had been s.een to disappear. The first man to enter the long, rich library was Gunsdorf. He gave only a K'lance at the open panel which dls-cloE- ed the Inviting; Interior of a safe, or at the greenbacks and yellowbacks of all denominations which the wlley financier had scattered about the loom, en tables, on chairs, on tha floot such things were for children. Raging for his comrades to follow him, Gunsdorf rushed the length of tho room, found the bark stair down which Barclay had retreated, and came in less time thnn it takes to tell It to the service court at the back ot the houre. But nobody followed Gunsdorf. The open safe, the scattered bills, stop- ped men as a solid cliff might have, done. Vengeance was forgotten, ana the crowd began to loot. When Gunsdorf reached the court- yard the gates were half open. On stronK steel braokets fixed to tho back of the car were two spare rims, with Inflated tires. These formed a, resting place for Gunsdorrs feet ana a grip for his hands. But the first forward leap of the car. followed by a hair-raisin- g swrve to the left, al- most threw him off. Shots were fired. The car went OTer something soft that screamed and that remained In the stroet after tha car had passed, and thwaefced like a, newly landed fish. -- Gunsdorf stood upon the spare twee and clung to them, and the lights or New York whirled by. The scene of ihe riot was far behind. Un Fifth avenue the car raced.

GERMAN WARSHIP

Slav Admiralty Says Two Ger-

man Cruisers and Eight Tor-

pedo Boats Alto Destroyed.

Contiuued from First Page,of Pernov bay, on the northeasternshoulder of the Gulf of Riga.

Either the accompanying warshipswere unable to support the landing ofthe troops or the Russian strategy Insome way overcame the advantage ofGerman naval guns, for the troops werepermitted to land and .were then at-tacked and exterminated by the Rus-sian forces at that point.

Russ Losses Not Stated.The. Russian troops at Pernov did not

even have the support of artillery. Furthermore they were taken completelyby surprise. How they accomplishedthe utter defeat of a force which musthave numbered some 8,000 mon, aidedby the gunfire of convoying wars"hlps,and later captured the transports aswell Is not explained.

In giving this account of Russian suc-cesses In the Gulf of Riga the presi-dent of the duma said nothing respect-ing the Russian losses during the navalengagement or while the Germans wereattempting to land a body of men onPernov bay.

Von Hindenburg Cheeked.Along with the news of a naval vic-

tory came word from the war officethat von Htndenburg's attempt to turnthe Russian right flank has met withstubborn resistance that has broughtthe Germans to a halt.

The newspapers headed reports of theRussian naval victory with lines suchas "A Great German Rout." and de-manded to know If German newspaperswould continue, their talk of a separatepeace with Russia. They printed promi-nently the statements of Foreign Min-ister Sazanoff to Petrograd newspaperpublishers yesterday with reference topeace rumors.

"These rumors of a separate peaceare due to repeated enemy overtures toFrance and Russia," said 'the foreignminister. "These have been totally re-jected.

New Attack Not Expected."The enemy's attempts to sow dis-

cord among the allies Is predestined tocomplete failure. The ties binding theallies are only strengthened thereby,and their confidence In the ultimate at-tainment of their common ends Is un-wavering."

Military critics here took the viewthat the severe defeat reported to havebeen administered the Germans in theGulf of Riga engagement will end theattempt to land troops from transportsto aid in the attack on Riga. The Ger-mans having once penetrated the gulfwith strong forces and having beendriven off, It was held that the attemptwould not be repeated.

FIFTEENTH INSTALLMENT.BARCLAY'S servants

GORDON to admit no oneorders. The city

was In a turmoil. With eachfresh edition of the newspapers thesituation of the conspirators becamemore serious. In the public parkaeffigies of them were hanged or burned.It became necessary to keep a cordonof police about Barclay's nouse. InSemmes' house and Sturtevant's nowindow remained whole. For twentyhours these two men had beeen Bar-clay's guests.

Gunsdorf's great hour had come thathour for which he had plotted all hislife, and lied tor and schemed for. Hehad been the leading figure In the mobthat had tried to lynch the triumviratein the first burst of rage. And hefound himself suddenly at the head ofall the lawless elements in the city.He was drunk with power and a senseof his own Importance. But openly hspoke of his love for mankind.

Through a man friendly to him anddeep in Gunsdorf's councils, Tommylearned that the life of the man whohad adopted him and been good to himwas In danger. His house was to bestormed over the heads of the police,and himself hanged or torn to pieces,as might happen.

All their differences fled from Tom-my's mind and he remembered onlytheir mutual affection: so he hurriedto the old familiar house and waspresently admitted.

"It's Just to say a few words," saidTommy, and he told Barclay whatGunsdorf was planning for that veryday.

Gordon Barclay had turned very grayIn tha last few days. He wai a brokenand disappointed roan. BtlU he clungwarmly to that remnant of life whichremained to him.

"We'll go to Gull Island," he saidsimply, "fill this thing has blown over.I suppose you are not unhappy aboutwhat ha happened. It's a pity shecame back . . Tommy, when wequarreled I waa ambitious for poweronly. Later 1 began to think thatCelestla waa a real panaoea for a sickworld. So that if I had ben destinedto rule. 1 would have ruled for thegood of the peeple. I want you toknow that what began In cynicismepJed In faith and honesty. I haveput you back In my will for practicallyeverything I possess. Carlton Fitch hasturned knave. Mary. If she marrieshim, will be worthy of him."

"You'll need somebody to keep housefor you at Gull Island." said Tommy.He was too moved to refer to what hehad Just learned. "I'll get Celestlathere as quickly as I can."

"Have you married her?"Tommy looked very manly when he

Bald that he had. And Barclay smiledon of his old-tim- e dassllng smiles.

"And I think." he sata, finally, "thatyou had better get out of this houseas quickly as you can. I'm going, too.I can't afford to be a hero."

Thev shook hands and parted, neverto me'et In this life again.

Late that night Tommy and Celestlaand Freddie the Ferret, whom Tommywas trying to train to be his valet,caught the last boat for Bartell's, onBartell's Island, from which Gull'sIsland may be reached In an hour Ina fast launch. They had had no wordof what had happened In New York.At Mlssaquld, the point of departurefor Bartell's, there seemed to be somosort of a rumor tn the air and a stateof suppressed excitement. Usually itis a town that goes to bed very early.But this was not the case tonight.There was a rough looking crowd atthe station, and at the wharf.

Tommy, without arousing suspicion,could not find out If Barclay, Bemmesand Hturtevant had gpne on ahead orwere following,

"It they are behind us," he said toCalestla, "they'll have to charter some

Gulf Island resembles a loaf of breadthat has risen too much. A rounded,billowing top Is set upon high, almostperpendicular, sides There Is only onel&ndlng place, and from this the habit-able portions of the island are reachedby a steep and narrow path. A deter-mined man with a pile of cobblestonescould stand off an army.

It was Gordon Barclay's favorite es-tate. The timber was mostly scrub oakand scrubby little pines, but In a densegrove of these Barclay had built a low,rambling house which was very dearto him, and wonderful rose gardenswhich were een dearer.

In this Island retreat, open and readyfor the master the year round, the tri-umvirate. If only they could reach It,would be as safe from mob violence ason a ship at sea.

A steep climb, a wild expanse of star-lit moor, little ancient trees growingvery close together, a strong perfumeof bayberry bushes, of sweet fern androses, and then the d, softly-lighte- d

In short. It was about as natay amorning as you could ask for. But toCelestla and Tommy the weatherseemed heavenly, and expressly manu-factured for lovars and love-makin- g.

At the gates stood two footmen readyto fling them open. Most of the crowdwas at the front of the house. In thenarrow alley at the back there waa onlya scattering of riffraff. One of the menon the box handled a double-barrele- dshotgun. In Sturtevant's hand, cooked,was a .45 automatic.

Meanwhile the bronze boy of thafountain came up the front stair, bat-tered head first, and was used to ramdown the door behind which Barclayhad been s.een to disappear.

The first man to enter the long, richlibrary was Gunsdorf. He gave onlya K'lance at the open panel which dls-cloE- ed

the Inviting; Interior of a safe,or at the greenbacks and yellowbacksof all denominations which the wlleyfinancier had scattered about theloom, en tables, on chairs, on thafloot such things were for children.

Raging for his comrades to followhim, Gunsdorf rushed the length oftho room, found the bark stair downwhich Barclay had retreated, andcame in less time thnn it takes to tellIt to the service court at the back otthe houre.

But nobody followed Gunsdorf. Theopen safe, the scattered bills, stop-ped men as a solid cliff might have,done. Vengeance was forgotten, anathe crowd began to loot.

When Gunsdorf reached the court-yard the gates were half open. OnstronK steel braokets fixed to thoback of the car were two spare rims,with Inflated tires. These formed a,

resting place for Gunsdorrs feet anaa grip for his hands. But the firstforward leap of the car. followed bya hair-raisin- g swrve to the left, al-

most threw him off.Shots were fired. The car went OTer

something soft that screamed andthat remained In the stroet after thacar had passed, and thwaefced like a,

and clung to them, and the lights orNew York whirled by.
