IRISH COAST STEAMER
SUNK BY SUBMARINE

London. Feb. 2l (6:30 y. m.)--The
small Irish ccasting steamer Down
shire was sunk last night by Ger
man submarine off Calf of Mann, an
island In the Irish sea. The Ger
mans gave the crew five minutes in
which to leave their ship. The crew
landed last night at Dundrum, County
Down, Ireland.
The submarine which sank the
Downshire was the U-12. The Ger
mans fired three shots at the steamer
before her captain hove to. After the
crew OF the Downshire had taken to
the boats the Germans placed bomb
amidships of the steamer and eX-
ploded IL, and the Downshire sank in
a few minutes,
The chief engineer of the Down
shire gave the following account OF
the sinking of the vessel:
'The submarine was sighted two
miles away by the lookout and the
captain thereupon ordered me to push
my engines all it was possible. He
steercd zig-zag course, but the pur-
suer had superior speed and over
hauled us In a short time and fired
three shots. The aim was so good
that we stopped Immediately.
THE submarine drew up, tully
above the surface of the water, hun
dred feet away. Its captain hailed us
in good English and told us to get into
our boats with haste.
Then the waste steam began to
blow out of our exhaust pipes. the
German captain got excited at this,
thinking we were trying to signal for
help and ordered us to shut off the

Berlin, Feb. 21 (by wireless to Say

a British transport with troops and
accompanying steamer reached Berlin
too late for comment by the morn

All of the papers, however, feature
the report In first page headlines. to-
gether with reports OF the sinking Of
other vessels by submarines or mines
If, as indicated by the foregoing, a
British transport has been sunk the
news probably has been withheld in
London. Although accounts of the
sinking of various other steamers by
German submarines or by mines
have been passed promptly by the
British eensors. there was no inti-
nation in the London dispatches Of

The other objection is based upon the
increase provided for when the fees
Cf the office reach $4,000. To please

the large sums allowed for deputies

Aviators' Safety Parachutes.

The energies of practically all the
inventors of parachutes for airmen
have been directed towards the devel-
opment of a device for the airman
alone. the aeroplane itself being al
lowed to drop to earth unhindered.
Parachutes for the whole aeroplane
have just been designed by French
inventor. Two folded parachutes. con-
tanned in cone-shaped receptacles, are
attached to the wings as near the ends
as possible. BY means of simple
mechanism, operated by the movement
of a small hand lever, these para
chutes are pushed out of the contain
ers, after which they are claimed to
open freely, no matter in what man.
ner the aeroplane may be falling. All
the airman has to do is to hang on to
the aeroplane.

SHOE TOKEN OF sUBJEcTION
Ancient Significance Of Custom Which

Merely a Joke.

AS specially applied to weddings.
OF old shoes-or new slippers. for all
that-had at first a significance which
would surely be most Objectionable to
twentieth-century brides. 1t seems TO
have been a token of the complete
subsection of the bride to her lord
and master. In the East a shoe or
slipper was publicly borne at the head
OF the bridal procession in indication
of the brides subsection, and at some
Jewish weddings the bridegroom used
to strike the bride a blow with his
shoe as sign that she was thereafter
the HISTORIANS it was the custom for
the bridegroom to kick the bride, and
for her to remove from his foot the
shoe with which he had kicked her.
To this day there is a common GUS
tom in Russia for the bridegroom on
to pull off his boots. In one of them
is whip, and in the other a gift If
she pulls off first the one containing
the whip, she gets a stroke from the
lash, and is to expect floggings there
after, but If the gift is first disclosed
her married life will be happy. 1t is
related of Martin Luther that once,
after performing the wedding cere-
mony for a couple, he took off the
bridegroom's shoe and placed it upon
the brides pillow, as sign that she
should in all things and at all times
be subservient to her husband.
