GUNBOAT SUNK
Crew Fired Her After German War
ship Demanded Surrender.
WAS CHARGED WITH PIRACY

Before German Sailors Could Take
Possession of Crete-a-Pierret Flames
Broke Out On Her, and the Panther
Fired On the Vessel Until She Sank.
Cape Haytien, Hayti, Sept. 8.-The
gunboat Crete-a-Pierret, which was in
the service Of the Firminist party, has
been sunk at the entrance OF the har-
Dor OF Gonaives by the German gun
boat Panther. The crew of the Crete-a-
Pierret left her before she went down.
The German gunboat Panther ar
rived at Port Au Prince September 5,
and received instructions from the
German government to capture the
Firminist gunboat Crete-a-Pierret She
left Immediately for Gonaives, the
seat of the Firminist government. The
Panther found the Crete-a-Pierret in
| the harbor of GOnaives, and the COM
mander of the German gunboat in
formed Admiral Killick, on the Crete
a-Pierret, that he must remove his
crew and surrender his vesSel in five
minutes time. Admiral Killick asked
that this time be extended to 15 min
utes. This request was granted, on
the condition that the arms and am
munitiOn on board the Crete-a-Plerret
should be abandoned when her crew
left her
The crew of the Crete-a-Pierret left
that vessel amid great disorder At
the end Of Is minutes the Panther sent
a small boat carrying an officer and
| 20 sailors, who were to take posses
sion of the Firminist gunboat When
these men had arrived at point about
80 yards from the Crete-a-Pierret,
flames were seen to break out on board
of her. She had been fired by her
crew before they left her. The Pan
Their then fired on the Crete-a-Pierret
until she was completely immersed
Thirty shots all told were fired.
There is much feeling here against
the Firminists, and their cause is con
. sidered to be a bad one. Soldiers are
leaving here to attack st. Marc.

tien that the German steamer Marko

= Cape Haytien, had been stopped OF
, September by the Firminist gunboai

harbor of Cape Haytien, and that al

steamer from the gunbOat and tool

spite of the protestations of Captain
/, Nansen and the German consul. The
seizure of the MarkOmannia has beer
. characterized as an act of piracy, bu
a dispatch from Berlin, dated Septem

Giles did not take a tragic view of the
! seizure of the German vessel, but tina
satisfaction would be demanded. Tht

in Hayti would be awaited.

CRITICISM OF PUBLIC MEN

IT. HERE are those who think that
there is at the present time too
i much denunciation OF public men
u would not be dihcuIt to show
that there had been great modification
in the literature Of invsctlye within the
last few years. Indeed. fl sometimes
seems as though cur political criticisms
were becoming altogether TOO tame and
gentle On the whole IL is not well 10 De
too tender Of public men. Honesty and
fairness are, OF course, essentials IN any
criticism that is al all worthy Of respect
But when il comes to dispensing with
vigor. directness and severity it is easily
possible TO 60 too far.
These remarks. says the Indianapolis
News apply particularly TO conditions
now prevailing in this country and Great
Britain. In many respects the situations
in the two countries are strikingiy SINH
lar But the most important resemblance
IS the absence in both countries Of any
thing rising to the dignity Of an opDosi-
ton party Without an effective opposi-
tior IL Is more than ever important that
the newspapers and critics in private life
generally should do their fun duty in a
critical way. and do il courageousIy and
plainly Another thing 20 be borne 10
mind is that in both Great Britain and
the United States the Government IS en-
gagged In war-and war Of which large
numbers Of people do not approve. This

Within the last four years. however. the

The Pie Should Be Passed.

a man appears who does not consider
"public Office a priva,e snap" and who be-
lieves that the pie should be passed
around" and not kept in front Of one
place all the time. The following from
the Greensboro Herald Journal explains
the above:

tie is thoroughly American. Being an
American, 1 purpose 20 act upon the above
principle
Although l have worked the Office ~

cept and example. and give the other
boys a chance.
Il. Of course. do not doubt ny ability

duciye to the public welfare for a man to
hold an Office until he begins to regard it
as private property.
