SEARCH BY FRENCH
SHIP IS PROTESTED
Senator Thomas Says "Out
rage" in Mexican Waters
Demands Inquiry.
BELLIGERENTS ARE WARNED
American Merchant Ship Metapan
Boarded by Armed Men From
Cruiser Conde and German
Passengers Put on Parole.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 17. Protest
against a forcible search of the AmerJ
can merchant shio Metapan by the
French cruiser Conde In Mexican w'
ters was filed in the Senate today by
Senator Thomas. A letter was submit
ted by the Senator from R. W. Patter
son, a passenger on the Metapan, who
said officers of the Conde forced five
Germans "on the vessel to sign parole
agreements binding them not to fight
aeralnst the allies In the European war.
Senator Thomas declared that the
"outrage" as reported by Mr. Patter
son called for prompt investigation by
the State Department.
Young? Germans Paroled.
The letter set forth that the Conde
stopped the Metapan between Carta
gena and Puerta Colombia on Sunday,
October 4, at 10:30 o'clock In the morn
ing. Two armed officers and two sol
diers from the Conde boarded the Meta
pan, which recently had been trans
ferred from British to American regis
try. Tht captain of the Metapan, the
letter said, assembled all of the passen
gers in the dining saloon of the Meta
pan, while the naval officers examined
the shin's papers. Later five young
Germans, bound for Colombia, and who,
according to Mr, Patterson, were on
board a. neutral vessel plying between
neutral ports, were "forced to sign a
parole in order to procure their liberty."
"This was an outrage committed on
American soil, under the American
flag, " said Mr. Patterson. "The pas
sengers of an American vessel were all
practically imprisoned by French offi
cers and men."
Captain Acquiesces Readily. ,
Mr. Patterson said the captain and
practically all of the oficers of the
Metapan were British subjects, and
that the captain served the French
"with alacrity.'
Senator Thomas' statement caused
Senator Stone, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, to interrupt pro
ceedings of the Senate with a warning
to belligerent nations with respect to
the risrhts of the United States as
neutral nation. He asserted bellige
rent and neutral nations had certain
well-defined rights under international
law.
"When we are performing our duty
to maintain neutrality," sa.id Senator
Stone, "nations involved In war should
be careful to recognize our rights and
to keep faith with us.
Belligerent Powers Warned.
"If thev fail to do so, then the re
sponsibility of violating the rights of
a neutral power will rest on their
heads. The Government of the United
States will maintain its position, "but
it is well for other nations to know
that we will not look with indiffer
ence on the violation of the rights and
privileges of our own Government or
our own citizens.
"We recognize and undertake to con
cede and enforce the rights of bellig
erent powers under international law,
but I thought it an opportune time to
say that belligerent powers, if they
care for the regard and friendship of
' this republic, should themselves rec
ognize and strictly observe the rights
and privileges of a neutral power."
WAR MYTHS.
In war, as in every other large undertaking, there is much ro
mance and more romancing.
' The conflict in Europe is no exception, as witness:
The French have an explosive called turpenite, invented by a man
who spent three years in prison because in a book he - inadvertently '
revealed certain high military secrets. This turpenite in a shell ex
plodes over trenches, leaving men petrified in death. Their rifles are
still at their shoulders, the trigger fingers compressed not quite far
enough to release the gear which fires the shot; smoking cigar
ettes are still in their lips; their mouths are arrested in the act of say
ing "Hoch!"; or a rifleman is found lifeless in the act of firing from
a chateau window, while his companions are caught by death as they
meld 80 kings pinochle.
This turpenite is one of the war myths. ' '
Another is the German 16-inch gun. There Is only one 16-lnch
gun in the world, and neutral Uncle Sam owns that. He is not espe
cially proud of his possession, because he is not sure whether it is
half as good as many of his 12-inch guns, and is certain that it la
not in the class of his new 14-inch gun. These are not land guns,
either. The Germans have a field piece of about 11-inch caliber
which moves on caterpillar wheels, and so have the French and Brit- '
ish.
This is the 16-inch gun myth.
Then there is the Zeppelin. The papers say that Count Zeppelin is
preparing to lead in person a raid on England, and by England here
is meant London. The German Z eppelin fleet is said to consist of
about SO airships. . Their crews number, roughly, 30 men, a total of
1500. It is admitted that 1500 Germans, even though heavily armed,
would have a short shrift against the 200,000 boy scouts which Great
Britain has mobilized. ,
But they drop bombs! .
A fair idea of the damage which Zeppelins can do by dropping
bombs may be arrived at by multiplying by 60 the damage that one Zep- '
pelin did in Antwerp. This one killed two women and injured a score
of citizens. It blew out the fronts of half a dozen houses and pep
pered others with small shot- Fifty Zeppelins in a "raid" over the
Channel might succeed in killing 100 people and wounding 1000.
They would frighten perhaps 50,00 0. But you cannot win battles by
frightening non-combatants. Otherwise the ancient Chinese system of
decking, out warriors in horrible masks would be practiced in
modern warfare. Even repeated visits of Zeppelins if repeated vis
its were possible, which they are not would only serve to wreck a few
buildings and make a few British landholders angry. Who knows
that they would not stimulate recruiting?
This is the myth of the Zeppelins.
Then there are the dogs of war. The Germans, clever people that
they are, have trained dogs to shy every time they see a pair of red
trousers. These dogs run ahead of the infantry skirmish line, and
when they rear up on their hind legs the German artillery gets the
range and opens fire. Also these same dogs have been entrusted with
. messages from one commander to another. Even in a strange coun
try they will convey a message from General von Blanck to General
von Zero when one general does not know where the other Is.
This is the myth of the dogs.
Then and most Important of all is tfce myth of the dum-dum.
The explanation of wounds which seem to have been made by ex
plosive bullets has been made here once before. To repeat it briefly,
the modern high-power rifle at close range makes a gaping wound.
But. as proof that the French are using these projectiles, which have
been barred by the laws of civilized warfare, Germans are sending
back to this country cartridges loaded with hollow-topped projec
tiles. These are labeled "cartouch de stand." This means in Eng
lish "gallery ammunition." Our American 'Army uses exactly the same
kind of ammunition for gallery indoor training of recruits. So far
the United States is the only great power which has not been accused
of using dum-dums. We are not fighting. The charge would fit us,
too, if we were at war and if gallery ammunition is to be considered.
This is the myth of the dum-dum.
There are other myths. Many of them. But space in this newspaper
is valuable, and an enumeration of them all would leave no room for
more important matter..
Newspaper readers should consider these myths when they read.
Many, unfortunately, do not.

LOJJDOM.. Oct 17. England's young
women are proving of great aid to
Lord Kitchener in his efforts to raise
a great second army for Great Britain.
A group of enthusiastically loyal young
women have banded together for the
purpose of Inducing all single young
men not now in the army to join or be
branded as cowards.
"The young, unmarried man who has
no physical weakness, no serious do
mestic or other ties, and who will not
now serve his country in time of need
proclaims himself to be an abject
coward and deserves the contempt of
every right-minded person," said one
of these young women the other day
"Single young men Bhould be made to
feel that khaki is the only fashionable
color. We girls are going to refuse to
be seen with any young man who does
not bear the khaki hallmark of man
hood."
"V ECLARING that German officers
luf had tried to force them to act as
nurses for German wounded, a party
of young English girls arrived in
Rotterdam ' the other day after a peril
ous journey from Germany. They had
ridden 30 miles in a wagon through
lines of soldiers, dead and alive. .
One of the girls the oldest, and her'
selr but 24 told of how they were
locked up in a room all night by the
Germans. She said that in the morn
ing an officer entered and, after look-
ins them over, said he "guessed they
were husky enough" to act as nurses
for the wounded. This girl said she
"gave him a piece of her mind," and
told him that they would die before
they helped take care of the Germans.
They were thereupon released, she says.

LONDON, Oct. 17. The war Infor

making it necessary to kill them and
to set fire to their houses.

Possible Chance to Cross Vistula

PETROGRAD, Oct. 17, via London.
According to Russian information, the
Germans are making a "demonstrative
advance near Ml aw a, northeast of
Warsaw, which is intended to fill the
gap between the East Prussian front
and the main front, which extends
north and south on a line across Rus

The German army, by continuous
maneuvers under heavy artillery nre
and with day and night outpost fight
ing, still is endeavoring to feel out
possible chances to cross the Vistula.
Refugees from that neighborhood say
that until three days ago all German
attempts to cross the river had been
repulsed with heavy losses. The Ger
mans found the river too wide for pon
toons and numbers perished in . at

Poles in that region are said by the
refugees to be hampering consider

When I started from home the fact

to Keep the secret, but when the action
began the sun was bright and the water
smooth not the most favorable con

I had sighted several ships during
my passage, but they were not what

came within my reach but I felt there
was bigger game further on, so on
went. I traveled on the surface ex
cept when we sighted vessels, and then
submerged, not even showing my
periscope, except when it was necessary
to take bearings. It was 10 minutes
after six on the morning of last Tues
day when I caught sight of one of the
Dig cruisers of the enemy.
I was then 18 sea miles northwesterly
of the Hook of Holland. I had then
traveled considerably more than 200
miles from my base. My boat was one
of an old type, but she had been built
on honor and she was behaving beau
tifully. I had been going ahead par
tially submerged with about five feet
of my periscope showing. Almost im
mediately I caught sight of the first
cruiser and two others. I submerged
completely and laid my course so as
to bring up in center of the trio, which

high over the water.
Accurate Aim Made Certain.
When I first sighted them they were
near enough for torpedo work, but
wanted to make my aim sure, so I went
down and In on them. I had taken the
position of the three ships before sub
merging and I succeeded in getting an
other flash through my periscope be
fore I began action. - I soon reached
what I regarded as a good shooting
point.

this distance, but It is understood to
have been considerably less than a mile.

an effective range of four miles.)
Then I loosed one of my torpedoes

feet under water and got the shot off

discovered tnat the shot had gone
straight and true, striking the ship,
wtiicn i later learned was the Abou
kir, under one of her magazines which
in exploding helped the torpedo's work
of destruction.
Crew Is Brave to Last.
There was a fountain of water, a
burst of smoke, a flash of fire and
part of the cruiser rose in the air. Then
I heard a roar and felt reverberations
sent through the water by the detona
tion. She had been broken apart and
sank in a few minutes. The Abouklr
had been stricken in a vital spot and
by an unseen force that made the blow
all the greater.
Her crew were brave, and even with
death staring them in the face kept to
their posts, ready to handle their use
less guns, for I submerged at once. But
I had stayed on top long enough to see
the other cruisers, which I learned
were the Cressy and the Hogue, turn
and steam .full speed to their dying
sister, whose plight they could not un
derstand, unless it had been due to an
accident.
The ships came on a mission of in
quiry and rescue, for many of the
Abouklr's crew were now In the water,
the order having been given, Ea"h

Cruiser Hogue la Second Vlrtlm.
But soon the other two English
cruisers learned what had brought
about the destruction so suddenly.
As I reached my torpedo depth I
sent a second charge at the nearest of
the oncoming vessels, which was the
Hogue. The English were playing my
game, for I had scarcely to move out
of my position, which was a great aid,
since it helped to keep me from de
tection.
On board my little boat the spirit of
the German navy was to be seen in Its
best form. With enthusiasm every man
held himself in check and gave atten
tion to the work In hand. .
The attack on the Hoguewent true.
But this time I did not have the ad
vantageous aid of having the torpedo
detonate under the magazine, so for 20
minutes the Hogue lay wounded and
helpless on the surface before she
heaved, half turned over and sank.

as if more anxious to help the many

save herself. In common with the
method of defending herself against
submarine attack, she steamed In a

which also made it necessary for me
to get nearer to the Cressy. I had come
to the surface for a view and saw now
wildly the fire was being sent from the
ship. Small wonder they did not know
where to shoot, although one shot went
unpleasantly near us.
When I got within suitable range I
sent away my third attack. This time
I sent a second torpedo after the first,
to make the strike doubly certain. My
crew were aiming like sharpshooters
and both torpedoes went to their bulls-
eye. My luck was with me again, for
the enemy was made useless and at
once began sinking by her head. Then
she careened far over, but all the while
her men stayed at the guns, looking
for their Invisible foe. They were brave
and true to their country's sea tradi
tions. Then she eventually suffered a
boiler explosion and completely turned
turtle. With her keel uppermost she
floated until the air got out from under
her and then she sank with a loud
sound, as if from a creature in pain.
All Three Sunk in Leas Than Hour.
The whole affair had taken less than
one hour from the time of shooting off
the torpedo until the Cressy went to
the bottom. Not one of the three had
been able to use any of their big guns.
I knew the wireless of the three cruis
ers had been calling for aid. I was
still quite able to defend myself, but I
knew that news of the disaster would

caused by good little U-9 is shown by
the English reports that a whole flo
