ENGLAND IN GLOOM
OVER TEUT0N REPLY
TOCHURCHHILL TALK
Kaiser Soon Accepted Chal-
lenge to Come Out and
Fight - German Tells
How His S Sub m arine e
Watched Ship.
BY w. ORION TEWsoN


LoNDON, sept. 70.
The sinking of three British cruisers
in the North Sea after they were tor
pedoed by German submarines cast gloom
over London, the more so as every one
had Winston Churchill's optimistic and
fighting speech fresh in mind
1t is fully recognized what a tre-
mendous strain is imposed on the British
fleet in it's tireless vigil and the natural
impatlence of the men for a fight, but
that the Germans are not altogether in
active is proved by yesterdays prompt
reply to Mr.. Churchills utterance.
In view of the disaster the following
narrative of Munich man who took
part in a German submarine trip to the
coast of Scotland is doubly interesting.
1t is taken from the Munich Neuesta
Nachchenten. of last Wednesday, and
reads:
"At distance of 1900 metres from the
enemy we were playing the accordion
and the enemy never heard us. More
than once when our motors were going
full blast we could not hear what the
accordion was playing, but we guessed
the tune from the movements of the
player. and the looks of his fingers as
they glided over the keys.

said our commander,
I'VE went out TO seq with other sub
marines. Then we separated. The U-15
we never saw again. She fell before the
enemy"
1t was U-l5 that was sunk by H. NJ
S. Birmingham.
''All the way along the English Coast
we went, at times under water. Six
hours work and six hours sleep for
the whole 10 days. So the days passed
by. a little while under, a little while
on top-that was the only variation

nounced in Paris.

w lOIN, sept. So'
That the Germans have reoccupied
three towns opposite the French right
wing in Lorraine was made clear when
the full text of the official statement
from the French War Office was read at
the French Embassy here today. The
official statement as given out in Paris
set forth that Domevre south of Bra
mont had been reoccupied by the enemy.
The Embassy received a statement,
however, which contains this phrase:
"On our right wing in Lorraine the
enemy has again passed the frontier with
several small columns. He has reoccu-
pied Domevre, south of Bramont, and
Nomeny and Dime, north of Nancy"
Further additional information in the
Paris statement was that Germans in
the Woevre district have directed their
movements toward Saint Boussant and
Limoy.
"In servia," the dispatch stated" a
general battle has been In progress for
a week in the region of Krupanj."
