Ernest Schiller.
A young woman in Salem, Mass., financed the pro-German activities
of Clarence R. Hodson, also known as Ernest Schiller, who, single-handed,
captured the British steamship Matoppo at sea, and cowed her crew of fifty
six men. This is Schiller's story. To save himself from deportation to
England and the possibility of being executed there as a spy, he has "con
fessed" to planning explosions on many munitions boats bound for porta of
the entente allies.
