S. S. VERONA FOILS
U-BOAT ATTACK
Italian Liners Seamanship Wins
Safety by Making Most
of Heavy Sea.

A heavy sea, which tumbled Ger
man submarine around so roughly that
accurate aim with her torpedoes or
deck guns was impossible, was all that
saved the Italian liner Verona when
she was chased by a U-boet in the
Mediterranean on November 10. The
ships captain. Simone Gull, told Of the
encounter when he brought the Verona
in yesterday morning.
The captain said the submarine few
no flag. Good seamanship, that took
the greatest possible advantage OF the
rough weather, played big part in
the Verona's escape. The vessel car
ried no passengers.
1--WE saw a big submarine rise about
two miles to starboard when we were
1iO miles west Of the Straits OF Boni-
facio on November 49," said Captain
Gull. "I crowded on all speed and
steered so that the submarine would
have to take the heavy sea on her quar-
ter.
although it was not rough enough
TO bother the Verona, the submarine
rolled and pitched so that the crew
could not aim either Of the two deck
guns at us. Finally we saw them go
below. and although they chased US
for about an hour and half we did
not feel In much danger. We were
sure that the submarine could not fire
g. torpedo with any accuracy in such
sea.
81 sent wireless reports TO all ships
and shore stations as soon as | saw the
submarine, but | did not ask for help
because we carried no passengers and
I did not think we were in much dan
ger. We heard later that French de-
stroyer had gone to look for the sub
marine"

GERMAN OFFICER
HELD ASPLOTTER
Baron Won Brincken Sur
renders to u. S. at
San Francisco.

San Francisco, Dec. 4.-Baron George
Wilhelm Won Brincken, a German cav
airy captain, who claimed immunity
from arrest as Military Attache of the
German Consul General here last night,
surrendered early tonight TO Federal
authorities and was charged with at
tempting to destroy commerce with the
Entente Allies. He was released in
bail Of $4,000.
The arrest of Won Brincken was in
connection with the alleged conspiracy
to block traffic and destroy vessels
carrying food, clothing and ammunition

war. The formal charges against Won
Brincken associate him with Charles C..
Crowley, a detective, and Lewis j..

Berlin. Dee. 4.-Clemens DelbrGck,
Minister of the Interior, made an at
tack before a committee Of the Reichs-
tag to-day on newspapers which have
been blaming spectators as solely re-
sponsible for the prevailing high prices
Of necessaries. The Minister asserted
that men and newspapers that dismiss
the matter of high prices by merely
using the word "speculator" have not
studied conditions and have no basis
for their contention.
Although individuals have attempted
to make profits by raising prices, the
Minister added, il is inaccurate to at
tribute TO them the entire responsible
ity for the present high cost of living.
lie reminded the members of the
have increased in other countries TO a
greater extent than in Germany.
Socialist speakers fully approved the
governments measures 10 protect con-
sumers and secure a better distribu-
tion of supplies. but demanded that the
government go even further and apply
the card system TO meats. lard and vir-
tually everything else, wholly TO elm
mate the middleman. One Socialist de-
manded that the government carry out
the resolution already unanimously
adopted by the Retchstag, providing for
the establishment of central govern
ment Office having complete control OF
food supplies.
A conservative speaker pointed out
that the prizes Of feed have risen more
than the prices Of meat and milk. He
said that the production OF litre
1.06 quarts of milk now costs 334
cents more than in normal times He
recommended that the governments Of
other states follow the example OF
Prussia, which proposes to devote 100,-
100000 marks (s25,000000) to procure
supplies Of feed for fattening swine.
Owing TO the difficulty experienced
by the people in obtaining sufficient
butter the Berlin municipality has or
ganized a so-called butter bureau. The
function of this bureau is TO distribute
in Berlin and vicinity the quotas Of

miles off shore, west Of Nieuport.
"It was an ideal spot for our pur-
nose. The sea was shallow, giving the
submarines little chance of escape. BY
plunging in wide spirsls we descended
on one Of the boats, which, being above
a sandbank, could not dive. She made
desperate efforts to get away, steering

and so turned our attention to the
other boat. Apparently it was more
difficult to handle her, for despite all
endeavors she failed TO get out of tho

feet above the sea.
"When we were certain Of not miss

the satisfaction Of seeing we had made
a hit. Even with the naked eye we
could observe that serious damage had
been inflicted on the deck Of the boat.
ave circled around twice more over
the doomed submarine. A second bomb
did the rest Of the work. She broke
in half and sank.
ave did not wait 10 see more. Mo-
ments were precious. We had to get
