DEUTSCHE TAIMYRLAND
EXPEDITION is CAPTURED
1nterned With Hundreds of Other
Prisoners of War at Kirensk
in Siberia.

CHICAGO, November IA special
wireless to the Daily News from Lon
don says.
Information has reached London
that the members of the Deutsche
Taimyrland expedition of 1914 have
been captured by the Russians and in
termed at kirensk, with hundreds of
other prisoners of war. The expedition
was headed by Eden Zeeler, a German
American, formerly of Portland, Ore
He left Germany last spring for Si-
IBERIA. equipped with many kegs of
delicatessen. a moving picture ma
chine. note paper and wagon loads Of
sundries. The objective was the mys-
terious peninsula of Taimyr, jutting
out from the northern coast of Si-
IBERIA. In July, having advanced 100
miles on its way north through
Irkutsk, the party was reported to have
gone broke"
"Backers of the expedition in Ger
many failed to respond quickly and
members of the party obtained loans
from friends in Siberia. When the
war broke out the Russian government
requested the members of the party to
define their status. The government
then shipped them 1000 miles north to
Kirensk, which is an unpopular place
of banishment. The daily allowance of
each member of the expedition for food
is said to be equivalent to cents"

VACANCIES IN MARINE CORPS.
Effort Will Be Made to Fill Them
From Naval Academy.

The existing vacancies in the Marine
Corps and those to occur before the June
graduation will be filled mainly from the
Naval Academy, according to the pres
ent plans of the Secretary of the Navy
There are at present nine vacancies and
probably there will be three or four more
before the next class graduates from
Annapolis. 1t is assumed that the Secre-
tary will call for volunteers from the next
class, but if the Marine Corps cannot be
filed in that manner the academic board
will be called upon to select members of
the class who the members think may
be especially fitted for service in the
corps.
With the many calls upon the Marine
Corps for eXpeditionary service. it is be-
coming attractive to midshipmen that
it is thought that no difficulty will be ex-
perienced in obtaining volunteers from
the academy. For years the officers OF
the Marine Corps have been anxious te
have vacancies in their organization filled
from Annapolis, but that has been op-
posed by certain senators and repre-
sentatives interested in civilian candi-
dates.

ELECTRICITY FOR BATTLESHIP
California to Be Equipped With New
Method of Propulsion.

The first dreadnought in any navy to
be propelled by electric power will be
the great California, which is to be
constructed in the New York navy
yard. After carefully studying the re-
markably efficient performance of this
essentially American idea on the big
collier Jupiter, Secretary Daniels has
adopted the recommendation of Rear
Admiral r. S. Griffin. engineer in CHEF
of the navy, and authorized the install
lation of the electric drive mechanism
on this latest type of battleship.
If the performance of the electric
system on that Iship realizes expecta-
tions it probably will displace finally
the present methods of direct connec-
tion of the steam turbines or recipro-
eating engines with the propellers of
naval ships.
