German Admiralty Says Brit
ish Warship Ran Down
Submarine's Survivors.
PRISONERS KEPT HIDDEN
Orders Said to Have Been Given to

BERLIN, by wireless to Sayville. N.
Y.. Nov. 4. The German Admiralty
has furnished to the Associated Press
correspondent the details of what Is
characterized as a second Baralong
case. In which a British patrol ship, fly
ing American colors, it Is declared,
after destroying the submarine U-41.
deliberately ran down a rowboat with
the only two survivors of the under
sea boat in an endeavor to remove the
only witnesses and has since prevented
the interned victims, who were almost
miraculously saved, from communicat
ing the news to their own government.
The incident, according to the Ad
miralty, occurred on September 24,
1915, and has only just been learned
of through an invalided prisoner trans
ferred to Switzerland. The submarine,
according to the Admiralty account,
had halted in the neighborhood of the
Scilly Isles for examination of a steam
er under the American flag, apparently
An innocent merchantman.
Fire Opened With Hidden Guns.
The steamer ostensibly prepared to
lower a boat, but when the submarine
had approached to within 300 yards, the
supposed merchantman suddenly op
ened concealed ports and began firing
from two cannon, and also with rifles,
the American flag flying the whole
time, the account continues.
The submarine, irreparably damaged,
went under, but was able to come to
the surface later for an Instant and
Lieutenant Crompton, severely wound
ed, and Petty Officer Godau managed
to crawl out through an open hatch
before the submarine sank forever.
The survivors ultimately managed to
ewim to an empty boat. The steamer,
observing this, according to the Ad
miralty details, headed full speed for
the boat not to save, but to ram it,
placing a lookout in the steamer's bow
to facilitate accurate steering.
Germans Finally Picked Up.
The Germans, at the last moment,
(prang from the boat, and clung to
the wreckage of it for a half hour,
when the steamer finally picked tifaem
up.
The wounded Lieutenant Crompton
and his comrade were left without the
slightest medical attention in a small
cage on the steamer's deck until her
arrival at Falmouth the following day.
It is declared, although the lieutenant
had a double fracture of the jawbone,
a broad wound arms. thn rnu. nnri
cheek, wounds In the left temple and
on the finger, and an eye shot out. It
was not until September 29 that the
lieutenant was transferred to a shore
battleship, clad at the time only In his
underclothing, being transferred on
November 6 to the military prison in
York Castle, whence the officer, whose
wounds were still open, and who was
threatened with the loss of the other
eye, was sent in mid-December to Iyff
ryn, Wales, the account says.
Drastic Order Reported.
An Admiralty officer, recalling the
newspaper reports of some time ago
that the British Government, having
been forced by German retaliatory
measures to abandon drastic treatment
of capti-.es from submarines, had given
orders to take no submarine prisoners,
but to send them to the bottom with
their vessels, declared to the corre
spondent this case, with that of the
Baralong, should be considered as fur
nishing all necessary proof that the
undenied story regarding the govern
ment order was true.

U-BOAT RIDES GALE
Captain Rose Describes Voy
age Across Atlantic.
EVERY DIFFICULTY MET
Commander of U-53 Regards Feasi
bility or Transatlantic Round Trip
as Established Under Most
Trying Conditions.
BERLIN, Nov. 5. (By wireless to
Sayville, N. Y.) Captain Hans Kose, of
the German submarine U-53, today gave
an Interesting account of the voyage of
the submarine to American waters and
his impressions of Newport and of the
activity of the submarine off Nan
tucket. Despite the seriousness of the
mission of the submarine, said Captain
Rose, the voyage was marked by many
touches which relieved the tedium and
the dispiriting effects of the men's
confinement for several weeks clamped
down in their cockle shell.
The weather conditions during the
trip, said Captain Rose, were at times
bad, but the submarine surmounted
them so. successfully that the practica
bility of making the trans-Atlantic
round trip not once, but under virtu
ally 11 conditions, might be regarded
as having .been demonstrated.
Heavy Stormn Hidden Oat.
Storms were faced, said the com
mander, which would have tested the
stoutness of surface boats even of the
greatest dimension. Once off the Grand
Banks the submarine hove to like an
ordinary steamer. Mountainous seas
were running, but the underwater boat
rode them superbly, without taking
water on her conning tower or bridge.
When the submarine left the Gulf
stream, some of the crew suffered se
verely by the drop of 25 degrees" in the
temperature within six hours.
The American naval authorities, sala
Captain Rose, received the U-53 with
the greatest cordiality, but the com
mandant at the Newport station was
so evidently relieved when he learned
Captain Rose did not desire to replenish
his fuel or provisions that Captain
Rose received the impression he would
have encountered difficulties if he had
desired supplies.
Americans Do Xot Interfere.
The American officers, and particu
larly their wives, and daughters, said
Captain Rose, visited the submarine in
large numbers and were deeply inter
ested in her.
The submarine began her commerce
destroying activities after leaving
Newport.
Sixteen American torpedo-boat de
stroyers were assembled in the vicin
ity. Captain Rose said, but did not in
terfere in any way with the subma
rine's military measures.
POWERS PROCLAIM KINGDOM
(Continued From Firet Page.)
tiers of the kingdom of Poland shall
be outlined later.
Guarantees Are Fromlaed.
"The new kingdom will receive the
guarantees needed for the free devel
opment of its own forces by its inti
mate relations with both powers. The
glorious traditions of the, ancient Pol
ish armies and the memory of the
brave comradeship in the great war
of our days shall revive in a national
army. The organization, instruction
and command of this army shall be ar
ranged by common agreement.
"The allied monarchs express the
confident hope that Polish wishes for
the evolution of a Polish state and for
the national development of a Polish
kingdom shall now be fulfilled, tak
ing due consideration of the political
conditions prevailing in Europe and of
the welfare and the safety of their own
countries and nations.
"The great realm which the. West
ern neighbors of the Kingdom of Pol.
and shall have on their eastern fron
tier shall be a free and happy state,
enjoying its own national life, and they
shall welcome with joy the birth and
prosperous development of this state."
"Hour of Fate" DUcnmcd.
The semi-official Norddeutsche All
gemeine Zeitung prints a leading ar
ticle, entitled "Poland's Hour of Fate."
and says:
"The . Poles now are free from Rus
sian domination and have an opportun
ity to form a national state, to estab
lish connections with the central pow
ers, and, protected by relations to pro
mote their political and economic life
and develop their national civilization.
"For these purposes during the near
future the Poles will need our help.
Under Russian domination no Polish
administration, no Polish schools nnd
no Polish army were admitted. Tn
Russians neglected the construction of
railways and waterways. Everywhere
a basis of public life and admin'stra
tion must be created out of nothing,
and the reconstruction of a Polfoh na
tional life has to proceed etep by step.
"It was not the "protectors of small
nations' that restored Poland to its
own national evolution, but those two
powers against which the enemy ap
pealed to the hatred of small nations
of the world. The Western powers
showed only their sympathy for Poland
In words.
"If, today, a different decision had
been reached in the war if Russian
arms were victorious in the East then
for another hundred years the popula
tion of Poland would have to drag its
chains from promise to promise with
out any protest on the part of the
Western powers."

NEW YORK, Nov. 5. Completion of
negotiations with the Russian govern
ment for a $50,000,000. five-year. 64
per cent loan by a banking syndicate
headed by the National City Company,
which is controlled by the National City
Bank, brings the total borrowings here
of foreign countries, with the exception
of South America, to more than J2.000,
000.000. Negotiations for the present Russian
loan covered a period of more than
three months and at one time, it is said,
a loan of as high as $150,000,000 was
considered by American bankers. The
former Russian loan established a cred
it in this country for $50.000,000,. which
was to run for three years. Simulta
neously the Russian government estab
lished in Petrograd a credit of 150,000,
000 rubles in favor of the banking
group at a fixed ratio of three rubles
to one dollar.
Part of the present loan. It is un
derstood, will be used in paying for a
portion of $50,000,000 railroad equip
ment order placed with American
manufacturers about two months ago.
Associated with the National City
Company in the negotiations are J. P.
Morgan, the Guarantee Trust Company,
Kidder. Peabody & Company, and Lee
Higglnson & Company. The loan will
be a direct obligation of the Russian
Imperial government. Among the de
tails yet to be completed is the price
at which the loan will be offered to
the public. The yield on the last loan
was a little more than 614 per cent.
German Magazine Exploded After

WITH TH"E FRENCH ARMY AT
VERDUN, Nov. 5. (From a staff cor
respondent of the Associated Press.)
The French patrols have penetrated far
beyond Fort Vaux into the lines former
ly held by the Germans, but were not
able to get in touch with the former
defenders. It appears probable that the
Germans have retired their lines con
siderably in the rear, their artillery
positions being untenable since the
French drove them from Douaurtiont
after silencing 90 of their batteries.
Military observers point out thathe
Germans were forced to withdraw 'from
Fort Vaux within eight days after
Douaumont fell, whereas the French
held Fort Vaux four months after the
Germans had captured Douaumont.
The same observers regard the Ger
man assertion that they were prepar
ing to withdraw to stronger lines be
fore the battle of Douaumont as unten
able unless the Germans are ready to
admit that their withdrawal was one
of the most unsuccessful operations of
the campaign, as it cost them more
than 6000 prisoners and the annihila
tion of 22 battalions.
Signs that the Germans are prepar
ing for a counter stroke are entirely
lacking.
PARIS. Nov. 4. The abandonment of
Fort Vaux is regarded by the French
military critics as a fitting revenge for
the French heavy guns on the famous
German 17-inch mortars. The heavy-
calibre "French guns at Verdun began
concentrating their fire on Fort Vaux
on October 24, gradually increasing
their intensity, hour after hour, until
at the end of the 150th hour one of
the German magazines blew up.
The great -projectiles then began
searching o"ut their ammunition depots.
One French 16-inch shell, weighing a
ton, struck a magazine filled with hand
grenades on All Saints' day. Many thou
sands of grenades exploded, causing the
earth to. tremble.
BATTERY GIVES DRILL
IMPERIAL. VALLEY FOLK SEE REAL,
THING AT BR1WLEY.
Whole Exhibition Executed at Trot and
Gallop with Thundering Salute
as Fitting Climax.
WITH BATTERY A., Brawley. Cal..
Nov. 5. (Special.) In spite - of. wind
that blew 40 miles an hour. Battery A
gave an exhibition drill today. There
may have been a few natives who did
not see the drill, but judging from th
hundreds of automobiles parked on
either side of the road Jor a mile, 'no
body stayed home.
On account of Insufficient drill space.
Captain Helme ordered out only four
sections, and to give the people a touch
of the real thing he executed the whole
40 minutee of the drill at trot and gal
lop. Before the show was over the four
sections dashed madly across the lots,
the horses plunging through the shoulder-high
brush at a full gallop, ani
when the battery reached the east end
of the grounds the four guns swung
about, and first thing the thrilled spec
tators knew each gun belched forth a
streak of fire and. a thunderous roar.
As a farewell salute all the guns
roared at once.
The return to Calexlco will be made
tomorrow morning. Because the pay
master comes only once a month and
having come does not return until an
other month has passed, the wire'?ss
section company A of the Second Wash
ington left today. The radio squad will
stop at El Centro tonight and will be
on hand when the pay checks are hand
ed around.
Sunday's War Moves.
FRENCH troops have again smashed
the German lines hard. North of
the Somme, between Les Boeufs and
Sailly-Saillisel, to the east of the lat
ter place and on the St. Pierre Vaast
Wood sector, important gains were
made Sunday, according to the French
communication. The attack on the St.
Pierre Vaast Wood netted the French
three trenches on the northern side
and the entire German positions on the
southern outskirts of the wood.
The British over a front of 1000
yards captured the hills In the neigh
borhood of the Butte de Warlencourt.
In - the Verdun region the French
have takenvVaux entirely, and also the
town of Damloup, east of Fort Vaux.
Violent fighting marks the operations
in the region south of Gorizla. while
the Italians are endeavoring to advance
to Triest. Fresh gains have been made
by King Victor Emmanuel's men on
the Carso plateau.
Italians are alternately bombarding
Austrian positions at Jamiano and
throwing heavy Infantry effectives
against the town. Vienna says all at
tacks have failed.
