LONDON, Oct. {

LONDON, Oct. 3.
Lieutenant Frederick Drake, of the
Eleventh Hussars. who has returned to
his home at st. Adams, describes his
escape from a district infested with Ger
man soldiers
I'VE used to fight all day." he says,
''and trenches all night. We had no sleep
at all; we never shut our eyes.
THE first of our fellows to be shot
were the doctor and his orderly They
were binding up a man VINO had been
wounded, and the Germans came up with
in 20 yards and shot them dead. 1t is of
no use throwing up your hands. 1t is
best to shoot and the ntrust to luck.
I'VE were sent right out in front of
everybody to the place d'honneur.' After
six days I was left with 36 men to hold
the Germans back while the others got
away. But we were surrounded by a bril-
gade of German cavalry.
First of all we tried to get cross coun-
try, but we were caught up in barbed
wire. and they turned two machine guns
on us. They killed lot of horses. but
no tmany men.
I'VE then fought our way to the road
which leads into the village of Honcourt
The village was held by the Germans and
was bhrrlcaded with machine guns As
we went into II We We're being shot at
from behind and in front, and there was
barbed wire on both sides of the road.
I'VE galloped the barricade I had nv
horse shot about 200 yards before I
reached the barricade. and was stunned a
bit. When 1 got up again found all the
other fellows swarming on the barrIcade.
"I Joined in the hunt. and eight others
and eventually got out OF the village on
foot into a wood. There / divided the men
into twos, otld them the direction in
which 10 go and left them. / told each
pair to hide in different parts of the wood.
Eve spent two days and two nights in
that wood, with the Germans all around
us. Tney were so near. in fact. that we
could hear every word they said. The
corporal who was with me had ciga-
rette cough, and was in fear and trem-
bling lest he should attract the attention
OF the Germans Had he done SO. 1t would
have been all over for us.
Leaving the wood by night, we pushed
on TO Cambria, where we heard the Eng
lish We're, but when we arrived we found
they had left the day before. We then
hid in a wine cellar. and the Germans
came and burnt down the house above us
We escaped, however through a ven
tilator.
1--WE crawled out through the kitchen
garden and hid in some wheat sheaves
for the rest of the day, and at night we
moved south, where we heard firing
going on.
Near Avesnes-le-C Comte we secured a
motorcaT and drove toward ST. Pol, but
when we had gone about half way we
found a German sentry outside a house.
AS we raced past him he fired a shot or
two, but missed us, and We got safely
through the village.
when we eventually arrived at
Boulogne. I went to the British Consul.
and in accordance with directions con-
veyed through him. I returned to the
War Office"

SINKING OF GERMAN
SHIP WINS LAURELS
FOR BRITISH CREW
Commander of Submarine
E-9 and Men Are Popular
Heroes for Destroying
Cruiser on Foes Coast.
LONDON, Oct. Q.

LONDON, Oct. Q.
The naval hero of England today Is
Lieutenant Commander Max X. Horton,
commander of the British submarine B-s,
who has added to his laurels by making
a raid into German waters and sinking
German torpedoboat destroyer off the
mouth of the River Ems.
Lieutenant Commander Horizons previ-
GUS exploit had been the destruction of
the German cruiser Hela, and 1t unof-
ficially is reported that the E-9 had sunk
a German cruiser during her operations
off the Ems River. but this report had
not been officially confirmed by the Ad-
miralty at the time this dispatch was
received
The British press pays high tribute to
the daring of Commander Horton and his
gallant crew who braved death by ven
turing into the midst of German fleet
to attack.
When the E-9 returned to Harwich
harbor yesterday she flew two flags bear
Ing skull and cross-bones, signifying
that she had been successful on her dash
into German waters.
Members of the crew of the E-9 have
given the following details of the tri-
umph which was achieved on tuesday:
The E-9 ventured into the midst of a
German fleet keeping watch for an OPP
portunity to make an attack upon
detached ship. One of the German tor
pedoboat destroyers, steaming very slow
ly, offered a fair target at 600 yards.
The submarine determined to attack this
vessel Two torpedoes were fired five sec
onds apart. The first missed, but the
second struck the German vessel amid
ships. The German ship was wrecked
at once, the debris flying high in the
air. She rolled over on her side and
went to the bottom. The sea was per-
fectly calm and the submarine rose to
the surface after firing the second tor
pedo. From the periscope a bit of the
bow of the German vessel could be seen,
but this Immediately disappeared. A sec
ond torpedoboat destroyer, which had
been steaming along with the one that
was sunk, made off at top speed.
The English believe that this is only
the beginning of a series of raids in
reprisals for the sinking of the English
cruisers Aboukir, Cressy and Hogue by
Germans.

VISIONS OF SAUERKRAUT
SAVED A CABBAGE PATCH
Little Termonde Garden Intact Amid
Desolation, ostend Reports.
OSTEND, oct.

OSTEND, oct g.
The systematic way In which the town
of Termondo was destroyed by the Ger
mans. who thrice captured and abandoned
1t, is shown by the notices posted in
various places. On the quay appears the
warning, "Achtung. Inter allen UNI
standen Schiffs schoenen nicht Anzun-
den." (Waming. Preserve ships in all
cases. Not to be burned) On certain
dwelling houses "Dieser Hauser Schoenen
Nur wherose Frauen." preserve these
houses. Only defenseless women.)
At each end of a very ordinary looking
cabbage patch in the village of Male the
word ''verboten" has been Inscribed. The
houses around have been burned and
shattered. Every tree In the avenue ad-
Joining bears bullet marks. There ara
bullet holes drilled In the iron uprights
OF the fencing. But for some reason
the owner of the garden is as puzzled
about 1t as anybody-all the military
might of the Germans was concentrated
effectively on the inviolate preservation
of that cabbage patch.
English and French recall that sauer-
kraut Is favorite food of the Germans.
