Teutons Violate All
Sea Warfare by Firing on
Sinking Men; Great
Hardships.
J - i
(Uv Associated Press.)
Harrowing tales are related by, th6
survivors of the eleven British and
Swedish steamers sunk by two armed
German raiders Wednesday in the
'North Sea.
While all bn the two destroyers
werrr4ost in a gallant "effort 'to hold
the Germans at bay -until the mer
chant vessels could escape, reports
from various points show that num
bers of the merchant, crews have
reached port after undergoing the ut
most suffering on the open sea.
Left Crews to Drown. ,
Tlje official statement says:
"Anxious to make good their escape
before British forces could' intercept
thenr, no effort was made to rescue
the crews of the sunken British de
stroyers and the Germans left the
doomed merchant ships while these
were still sinking, thus enabling the
British patrol craft, which arrived
shortly afterward, 'to rescue soma
thirty Norwegians and others, regard
ing whom the details are not yet
known. The German navy by this
act once more and further degraded
itself by this disregard ofthe hpstoric
chivalry of the sea. ,
One Hundred and Forty-five Lost.
"The German official communique
on this subjeM states that the attack
took place within territorial waters in
the neighborhood of the Shetland
island and that all the csobrt vessels,
including the destroyers were sunk
with ,the exception of one escort fish
ing steamer. The statement as to
the locality of the attack is untrue,
as is also the statement regarding the
destruction of the escort vessels.
''The enemy raiders succeeded in
evading the British- watching squad
rons on long, .dark nights, both on
their hurried oKward dash and heir
homeward flight.
"It is regretted that all the eighty
eight oflicets and men of his majesty's
service Mary Rose and forty-seven
officers and mer of his majesty's serv
ice Stron-? Bow were lost."
Thirty-Seven Rescued.
- Christiania, Oct. 20. The admiral
in command reports the rescue cf 37
men from the .steamers sunk" by the
German raiders. The following' de
tails are given:
"Rescued from Norwegian steam
ers: Kristine, , one man; Serhaug
(599 tons), 11 men; Silja, seven;
Hahil, seven.
"From wedish steamers: Wikan
der, tVmei; Wistur, nine.
Fire After Surrender.
"A dispatch from Bergen says that
several survivors arrived there last
night and related harrowing stories
of their two days' sufferings and pri
vations in small boats before landing.
The captain of one of the Norwegian
steamers, the sole survivor of that
vessel, said he ordered his crew into
he boats, hut the Germans began'fir
ihg immediately. After the boats
Wvie lov.ered a shell hit one and
killed nine men. ,
Ignore Desperate Plea.
"The crew in despair returned to
'the steamer and signalled to the Ger
mans to cease firing, but their appeal
was not heeded. The bridgewas
then hit and knocked overboard with
the captain and fhe rest of the crew.
The captain managedto save himself
by swimming to a raft and he was
picked up two hours later by a boat
from one of the other "sunken steam
er?. "It is reported from Utvar that 1
men from a British destroyer ,arrived
here at, 3 o'clock 1'riday morning. It
was at' ths potTthat a Norwegian
torpedo boat touched.- with 37 sur
vivors from various sunken Steamers."

Bowing to the powers that be, the old machine gun company
of the 'Sixth Nebraska has passed into history.
When the Sixth regiment ws splito- 1
the machine gun company remained
intact under jCaptain fiuehler Met
calfe. The cqrhpany was transferred
into the 126th machine gun battalion,
with the understanding that it would
be recruited to full strength. As soon
as the .transfer was completed a bat
talion order was issued adding E com
pany of the Second Iowa, including
the officers. The officers have now re
turned,' and outranking the officers of
the old Sixth company, they will take
oflice at once,.
MEN ARE COMPLIMENTED.
As soon as the drder came to the
officers, transferring Captain Metcalfe
to the ,59th depot brigade, the other
officers at once announced their in
tention of asking transfers to the
same brigade, which they were al
lowed. -
When the news was broken to the
men it was received with intense emo
tion.' Tha company had a reputation
and all had felt sure of remaining in
tact. Major Lund said: "Captain Met
calfe, you have one of the finest or
ganizations I have ever-seen. Your
men are gentlemen and the discipline
is such as is seldom seen in the army.
We are sorry to lose you."
Captain Metcalte asked the ohicers
of the Fifth Nebraska if they would
be willing to take such men as might
wish a transfer. They not only vanted
those who wished to go, but offered
to take the company intact.
. Cheers For Fifth.
A meeting was held yesterday
and when it was announced that the
Fifth would. accept, the machine gun
men aose with a. cheer and the en
tire company asked to be transferred.
(The transfer was not made with
out evidence of amotion on the part
of both men and officers.'
AH will Ije transferred to the head
quarters company of the Fifth Ne
braska, from which they will be al
lowed to transfer where tHey win.
With Captain. Metcalfe, go Lieu-'
tenants Cool. Coad' and Stone. All
the officers plan to stay together as
long as possible with hope of a pos
sible" reorganization.
Iowans 9 Also.
Several men of the Iowa company
have asked to be transferred with the
gun company. "Dod" Hill, one of
thji best known army cooks in the
"country, said: "Captain, I'm going'
too, you've 'the best bunch of-men
I've seen and I'll stick with them."

All the survivors praise the captain
of the Antilles and the members of
the gun crew who stuck to their posts
until the waves closed over the ship.
When the Antilles sank, 40 or 50
men were at the stern. Most of theln
leaped 50 feet or more into the sea
as the stern rose to a perpendicular
position. The sea was running high
at the time, making it difficult to save
the crew and passengers. Some sur

Washington, Oct. 21. All hands in

tion to compensations which will be

No Need to Tell Our Patriotic Girls to
Beware of Slackers; They Are Taboo.
MUST PROSECUTE GREAT WAR
By GEORGE ADE
This s a letter to the fortunate ones
who, 10 years 4rom now, will be en
joying the benefit of what all future
histories will call the great war.
You (the gifts df sweet 16 and
slightly upward and the boys who are
getting ready to vote) will know more
about this war when you are plump
and middle aged than any one can
possibly kno.v this year.
' When the dust has cleared away
and the large events of the war can
be seen from a distance then you will
understand that the issues involved
had to be fought out, that the United
States had to take part, that the task
we are nowmickftaking had to be ac
complished. Let us hope that each of you can
say, 20 years from now, "I was young
at the time, but I knew what .the war
meant, and 7 helped."
Not all of the heroes are in the
trenches.
To prove that brave men remain at
home, here am I, a case-hardened
bachelor, venturing to give fcdvice to
young women, every one of whom
knows all about the war or, at least,
about one young man who has
marched out to win the war.
No need to tell them to knit. They
are knitting.
Why whisper to them to beware of
"slackers?" fhc poor "slacker" al
ready has felt the scorn of their
Balances.
Perhaps some hints may be tabu
lated in the methodical style so dear
to professors. '
In Tabloid Form.
Efficiency of soldiers at the front
Slid in the training camps isjependent
upon: (
(a) Physical welfare, resulting from
comfortable garments and sensible at
tentions, provided by young women
between the ages of 16 and 21.
(b) Mental cajm, induced by the
knowledge that all the girls at home
will postpone definite arrangements
until the soldiers come back.
(c) Spiritual exaltation, encouraged
by the occasional receipt of letters
from young women between the ages
of 16 and 21.
From the above analysis it becomes
evident that the successful prosecu
tion of the war is not dependent upon
the president and c?binet. or even
upon the Council of National Defense,
but upon Fiord and Elsie and Agnes
and Jessie.
Don't let anyone tell you that war
is strictly a business proposition.
We can't win the war unless the
bands play and the girls wave their
handkerchiefs. Evcy selected man
who starts to France must sec himself
'as the hero of the play who stes in
-between the villain and the persecuted
heroine and strikes the brute to the
eartth, saying, "Take that! take that!"

FRENCH BAG FOUR
ZEPPELINS AFTER
LOND0NAIR RAID
Eleven Dirigibles Appear Over
France; Anti-Aircraft Defense
Breaks Up" Attack by
Tremendous Fire.
(Ily AwtocluteiJ I"rr.)
On the French- Front in France,
Oct. 21. Four German Zeppelins
were destroyed or forcedto land in
various districts of France in the
course of a raid undertaken by
these hostile aircraft during last
night.
ELEVEN SHIPS STARTED.
London, Oct. 21. There were
eleven Zeppelins in the original group
that appeared over French territory,
Reuter's convspondent telegraphed
later, and they scattered over various
parts of the country when attacked
after a general warning was sent out.
They dropped no bombs in France.
'The approach of the Zeppelins was
signalled throughout France late in
the evening.' At once the air defense
squadrons (and batteries all over the
country were warned and the enemy's
airships were attacked and scattered
all over France like a flock of fright
ened birds. "
.; Bring Down Aircraft.
One Zcppe'in was brought down
at, St. CIcmeiil. near Luneville, by
anti-aircraft guns. Two others were
brought down or forced to land, one
at Vergeanr.es, in the dufiartment of
Cote d'Or, and '.he other at Laniarche.
in Haute-Marnc. One of these was
damaged bv French airmen and the
other by guns. A fourth Zeppelin,
after being chased throughout central
France through the districts, of Lyons,
Dijon and St. Marccllin, was brought
down at Gap, in the Hautes-Alpes.
Tragedies in London Raid.
While rain search was made lor
any military advantage gained by last
night's air raid several tragic stories
came to tight. Perhaps the most piti
ful was the killing of a widow and -her
seven children, m addition, to a lodger
in the house. It appears that the
mother went tfi the front door and
inquired of a neighbor whether the
"signal" had been given and turned to
go back, when the bomb dropped. A
few minutes later the neighbor found
the mother unconscious in the street,
her home wrecked and her children
buried in the debris. The woman re
gained consciousness long enough to
ask for her children.
