A British submarias has performed a magnificent feat, sinking two German destroyers in the Baltic Sea, and twico compelling German squadrons to flee.

COPENHAGEN, October 15th.

3.55 p.m.

There has been a great fight off the Danish Island of Moon, near Klintholm Harbour, in the open Baltic,, between a British submarine on the one side and a German cruiser and three torpedo-boats on the other. The inhabitants of the island at about 7.30 o'clock on Wednes. day morning beard a terrific canzonade and saw the German warships inces santly circling, round the submarine, firing, and trying to avoid submarine attacks.

Suddenly there was * deafening ex plugion, and a German torpedo-boat sank, hit by a torpedo. The other Ger man vessels. fled southward.. The sub marino now energed and remained on the spot some time before she disap peared. A sharp look-out was kept- from the Danish coast all day long for survivors but none appeared. Two Ger- men warships arrived on the scene in the evening and played their search- lights in the vicinity vainly for an hour and then left.

Then he returned to his post with his wounds dressed and stayed in the firing-line until he was ordered out of action by the doctor.

In many streets one sees more uniforms that civilians, The general impression of the men of Kitchener's Army is decid edly most favourable. From the physical point of view the English have excelent material at their disposal, though whe ther the training is adequate is another question. The equipment of the soldiers is splendid, and particularly striking is the good condition of the uniforms of wounded soldiers or soldiers on

About the results of the recruiting it is difficult to obtain reliable information, but inquiries in different quarters: show that more volumteers are coming forward than the English army organisation can use. The recruits of Kitchener's Army are drawn from all classes of the popula tion; in general, however, members of the upper classes seem to prevail. Eug- hand to-day is sending her really best material into the field, and there is hardly an upper-class family which has not several of its members at the front.
