SECOND GERMAN
SUBMARINE SANK
Captain of Steamer Aston Re-
ports His Ship Rammed and
Sank Hostile Ship in English
Channel Last Saturday.

WEST HARTLEPOOL. Eng
land, March 5.-Another German
submarine has been sunk, accord
ing to information given out here
today. The owners of the British
steamer Aston announce that the
captain OF the ship reported to
them that he had sunk a German
submarine in the English chan
mel last Saturday.
If the report OF the captain of

claims of the captain of the
Thordis that his vessel rammed
and sank a submarine in the
channel.

LONDON, March 3. - There was
wild rejoicing throughout England to-
day when the news was flashed to
all parts OF the United Kingdom that
the German submarine. US, had been
sunk in the English channel. AL
though it had been reported that from
two TO six German submarines had
been destroyed the landing OF the
crew of the Us in Davor was the
first tangible evidence that any Ger
man under sea boat had been sunk.
When the first news OF the loss Of
the US was received from Paris,
where it lad been announced by the
French ministry OF marine there was
feeling of deep regret that the sub
marine had not be attacked, and sunk
by a British vessel. This feeling Of
regret was later turned to joy when
the British admiralty announced that
it was a British torpedo boat destroy
er which had sent the Us 10 the
bottom.
The acceptance by the admiralty Of
the claim of Capt. Bell, of the steam
er Thordis that his ship rammed and
sank a German submarine in the Eng
lish channel off Beachyhead makes it
practically absolutely that two Ger
naa submarines now rest beneath the
British waters.
posed to be / ON a submarine, was
picked up off Christiansand, Norway.
About the same time Il was reported
that the U-16 had been sunk after
making an unsuccessful attempt
upon the cross-channel steamer Vic
toria.
The arrival of the crew OF the sub
marine US in England brings to
climax the controversy led by Lord
Charles Beresford over whether or
not such prisoners shall be treated
and tried as sea pirates. Lord Char
les has strongly advocated such ac-
ton because of the nature of the Ger
man submarine war against English
shipping.
The officers and members of the
crew of the Us are being detained In
Dover castle. 1t had been said that
the US was sunk yesterday morning
but the German seamen declare that
the vessel was not attacked and sunk
until last night. They declared that
two shots were fired at the US. the
first missed, but the second damaged
the submarine to such an extent that
she had to be abandoned at once. The
US was one OF the finest under sea
boats in the German navy

by Justice Stafford, as an Illustration
Of high type Of poetry. But the speak

THE Old Golden Bucket" which. he
said. were only fair, and "owed. their

Mr.. Kelley quoted freely from many

that poetry had to do with the soul
of things. In the larger sense" he
said. poetry includes music and the
fine arts. painting and sculpture. AMI
even the vital element of religion is
simply spiritual poetry. Poetry is not
primarily intellectual. as is philosophy.
for poetry not only seeks to awaken
thought. but warns the heart and in
spires the soul. Its language is pic

Why send afar, to Cork or

of hay? Let's buy the goods we
make at home, and show we're
patriots. that way! The giant
vessels sail the deep and bring us
doodads made abroad; we buy
such traps, and fail to keep our
money on our native soil. Those
ships take back our hard-earned
cash, to pay the freight for Eu-
ropes kings; to pay for bottled
succotash, and stuff we grow at
home, by jings. My wife's new
lid was made in France, and It's
a phony thing, indeed; the broad
cloth in my Sunday pants was
manufactured by the Tweed. The
sauce the grocer sent today was
brought from Lunnon in crate;
it costs like blitzen-l must pay
the duty added to the freight.
We sing our patriotic songs. and
boost the Flag, and seldom cease;
but when we want gargoyles or
gongs. we ship them in from
southern Greece. And. as l write,
a hundred barks bring curley-
cues across the foam; oh, profit
by these sage remarks, and learn
to buy your junk at home!
