PIRATES GRASP EAGERLY
AT UNDESERVED MERCY
Crew of Crippled Submarine Glad Enough to Surrender to Americans.
"Kamerad" Is Cry of Huns in Distress.

BT RALPH D. PAINE.
(Copyrijht 1918. by Ralph D. False.)
INSTALMENT 7.
The Submarine That Surrendered.
T WAS wholly superfluous for the
U-boat commander to pass the word
to his men that they had better sur
render. They waited not for any such
formality, but concluded, unanimously,
to do this very thing. There was no de
sire to be dead heroes. They wished very
much to convey their intention to the
destroyers before shells, torpedoes and
depth-charges should spoil their ami
able programme. -
They came swarminar out of an open
hatch as if violently propelled from
below, like so many jacks-in-the-box.
ever was a large, populous German
submarine emptied so rapidly. And as
they madly erupted on deck, every Hun
flung his hands above his head with
the most passionate sincerity and held
them upraised while he bawled:
"Kaaierad! Kamerad! Xamerad!"
A gunner's mate on the forward deck
of theFayiing grinned and exclaimed
with pardonable emphasis:
. "Kamerad" Brings Response
'Kamerad, hell! What kind of a
word Is that -to use In war? Some
body ought to tip these poor boobs off.
We are sure-enough enemies."
"They behave as if they expected us
to shoot 'em in cold blood." growled
another petty officer. "What do they
think we are? Germans?"
I deck of their pirate craft, the Huns
grotesque postures of humble supplica
tion. 30-odd men who had forfeited all
right to be regarded as prisoners of
war because the work they did violated
every decentinstlnct of humanity and
every hard-won precept of civilization.
This particular group of German
criminals, may not have slaughtered
women and children at sea or blown
up helpless merchant seamen in' open
boats or wantonly drowned them, but
they would have done so had the op
portunity offered and had their com
mander so decreed It. Prisoners of war
they were, however, to be treated far
better than deserved. The sea had
spewed them up aliva and it was their
glpd fortune to be rescued.
Teuton Scuttles DiTer. .
Resolved that the enemy should not
tow his U-boat into port as a prize to
gloat over, the Oerman commander
hastened to scuttle her and his crew
might sink or swim. It was impos
sible for the destroyers to thwart his
intention, for he had remained in the
conning-tower while iiis men fled on
deck. The clamor of "Kamerad" still
rent the air when he stole below, tin
observed and opened the sea-valves
which let the water gush in.
.This was a sad disappointment to
the'' American bluejackets who were
fondly hoping to make It a perfect day.
In fact, "Chips" had already begun to
break out in a five-Inch hawser to pass
over the stern of the tanning.
"The swine have sunk her, damn
their eyes!" he mourned, in great dis
gust "Stow that hawser away and
step lively. We won't need It. And I
had bright visions of jerking that sub
clear across the pond and moorin' it
alongse. the Battery. Oh, boy!"
Snb Settles Under Crew.
The submarine filled and settled
beneath its crew before the destroyers
could lower away boats. As it foun
dered, the men were washed from the
deck and two or three were caught
under the aerial wire and carried dowff
until they managed to struggle free.
Only one man of the lot was missing.
The scene was, in a way, much like
that of the tragedy of the British
steamer Belgian Prince, torpedoed and
sunk, whose crew was transferred to
the deck of a German submarine which
closed her hatch and ran several miles
before submerging and deliberately
drowning all but three of the prisoners.
There was a similarity in the aspect
of these two scenes, as I say, a sub
marine dropping from under a crew
massed on deck and men fighting for
life in the sea, but the difference was
Immensely vital and significant. These
German captives experienced a kindlier
fate. There was no idea of employing
their own infamous doctrines against
them, but an instant readiness to save
them from drowning and to give them
decent care.
Fanning Rescues Castaways.
The Fanning now swung in closer to
rescue the castaways, while the Nichol
son, whiuh had stood by in case of
need, hastened to rejoin the convoy,
having bean in at the death.
Thirty-odd German sailors and very
odd they looked, all bobbing about in
a tranquil sea, their submarine gone
to the bottom and the whole affair,
from start to finish, had lasted less
than ten minutes! In the war-zone
there seldom occurs what might be
called a protracted performance. It is
touch and go, hit or miss and If you
miss the other fellow he is very likely
to get you.

broader basis. Including more factors
than memory.
"Many factors might ba considered,

Holland, Fearing Vessels Will Be
Sunk by V-Boats, Goes Without
Supplies Available in
This Country.
WASHINGTON', .Sept . 20. The ac
quiescence of The Netherlands govern
ment in German threats which kept
400,000 tons of Dutch shipping idle in
port while the people of Holland Buf
fered for want of the food these vessels
mlaht bring, is commented on in a
statement issued today by the State De
partment The statement is. issued to
clear up misapprehension as to the at
titude of the United States toward ex
ports to Holland.
The department expresses tne nope
that The Netherlands government will
lift the embargo on the movement of
its ships, which constitute the only
considerable unit of idle neutral ton
nage and in effect gives notice that ap
peals for American foodstuffs will be
In vain until Hollond follows the ex
ample of the Scandinavian countries,
Switxerland and Spain and enters Into
equitable agreements with the United
States and the allies.
Reviewing the efforts of the Ameri
can Government to lend its assistance
the statement discloses that after refus
ing to approve a tentative understand
ing for the export of food, petroleum,
metals and other supplies reached in
London last-Winter, The Netherlands,
bowing to the German threat to torpedo
even ships sailing , between neutral
countries, failed to avail itself of the
offer of the United States and the allies
to permit the export of 100,000 tons of
bread cereals as an emergency measure.
In spite of the free licensing of
bunker coal for ships other than those
originally stipulated and which carried
50.000 tons of cereals to Holland, an
additional 50.000 tons, largely in Argen
tina, has been left untouched for mora
than six months.
While Holland is apparently at Ger
many's mercy in sending her idle ships
to sea. The Netherlands government
could, it Is pointed out, by refusing to
