PROSPERITY
WAVE HITS
LUMBER TRADE
Great Boom Now on in Industry.
Mills, Rushed with Orders, Re-
fuse Business.
MARKING PRICES [

The wave Of prosperity that is
sweeping the country and making
history has, as was TO be expected,
invaded the lumber industry. Normal
" this lie the season OF the year that,
in the lumber trade, is considered
dull. that is. the buying and delivery
OF lumber begins 70 show a falling
on Not so this year, however. Re-
ports from all sections show an ever
increasing demand
Dealers have. because OF the de-
msnd made upon them, been marking
prices up, but the demand for ma
terial, especially for construction
work, has been steadily increasing.
Export trade also is improving and
many domestic buyers are in the mar
ket IL is said that a number OF large
dealers are sold up for months TO
come and are refusing 10 book orders
with a specific date OF delivery.
The demand for steel by the Euro
pean nations at war is accompanied
naturally by an increase in the export
demand for lumber. not only for those
nations who are at war. but also for
their former customers. The domes-
tic demand has been largely brought
about by the beginning OF Industrial
expansion operations, railroad extern
sion and building generally, while
the improvements in commercial lines
has stimulated the demand for lum-
ber for packing cases. crates and
boxes. Consumption is now running
much in excess Of production and
shows no signs OF abatement.
One drawback 10 the situation re-
ported IN this city IS the inability OF
exporters to find cargo room. This.
too, is true Of New York, Baltimore
and Boston. steamers. IL is said, are
giving preference to other cargoes,
while many carloads OF lumber await
shipment. This Is proving costly to
the exporter. but at this time no re-
lief is I'm sight. The lumber export
ports. such rs Galveston. Jacksonville
and Savannah are complaining OF the
scarcity OF bottoms and many mill
lions OF feet OF lumber are waiting

The car-buying movement Initiated by
the railroads several weeks ago. and
which promises TO provide altogether
10000 cars for car shops to turn out
in the next eight months, Is another
OF the factors contributing 70 the de-
mand for lumber.

SINKING OF FRYE
CHEERS BRITISH
Belief That Germany Must
Assume the Re-
sponsibility.
lBy cable to The Tribune

London, March l3.-The sinking Of
the Frye excites much interest here.
II is considered that England is play
ing in splendid luck TO have German
warship suddenly begin to treat grain
as absolute contraband while the home
government is fighting against the
adoption of any such principle. he
statment from Germany that the Prlnz
E:tel's captain sank the Frye in mo-
meut of misguided zeal receives little
serious consideration.
IL Is considered an act Of the official
German government, which, therefore,
is fully responsible. Americas atti-
tude is being closely watched. In most
quarters a warm protest Is expected.
"The Shipping Gazette however,
says:
For our part we are inclined to
think the United States will say a good
deal and do very little"
THE Morning POST says:
The responsibility can only be laid
by the German government upon the
captain Of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich,
and that is the method which will PROB
ably be adopted, together with offers
OF restitution and an apology. should
these be accepted by the government Of
the United States. the question will
arise as TO what should be done with
the captain OF the German cruiser. II
he has dsobeyed the instructions Of
his government he is clearly unfit TO
exercise his command and he should
be removed from il. Again, II IS con-
trary to observance OF neutrality that

1--WE had sixteen men in all. Three
OF them were Germans, so they were
not very much displeased. When we
got aboard the cruiser We were sem
below ! can't say we were treated
very well. We were not allowed TO
talk with one another. The food was
all right, but the water was very bad.
Still, il was the same water that the

"As soon as a vessel was sighted all
the prisoners we're sent below and
put under guard. After the capture
had been made and the new prisoners
taken aboard, all the prisoners would
be brought on deck to watch the de-
struction Of the latest prize. That
was the German way, undoubtedly, OF
giving US a treat.

.SLASHES WIFE AND
FICHTSIN HOSPITAL
Leaves Ten Cuts on Wom-

One on Policeman.

Thirty women patients In Lincoln
Hcspital, The Bronx, were startled last
night when a woman in one OF the cots
screamed fo- help. They saw man
who had been sitting by the bed run
toward an exit as blood started to run
from three long slashes in the woman's S
face.
The man was Albert Lashwsy, fifty
one years old, of 800 Mott Avenue. The
woman was his wife. Mary, thirty-six
years old. She was taken TO the hos
pital on February 10 with a broken leg
and placed in Ward =, on the four'h

Lashway appeared at the hospital
last night and demanded admlttahce'
The night superintendent, VINO says the.
man seemed under the lnnuenc- OF
hauor, refused to admit him, but sone-
how Lashway slipped in and up TO the
ward where his wife was.
For a while he sat with her un-
noticed. Suddenly he drew razor from
his pocket and cut his wife three times
across the face. Throwing her over
onto her face, ne slashed her back
three times, her shoulders twice and
her neck twice.
As Lashway ran toward the door
Drs. Hirsch and Smith tried 20 restrain
him, but the man turned upon them
with the razor and the surgeons drew
back. =,
The attack, the struggle that FOL,
lowed and Mrs. Lashway's shrieks had
worked the patients into q high state
of excitement. Several of them be,
came hysterical, and the nurses mad
all they could do to restrain them.
Meantime Lashway had run down the
stairs into the main corridor, where ne
found Patrolman Darcy. The super,
intendent, on the first floor, had heard
Mrs. Lashway's screams, and had blown
his police whistle. ri
Darcy blocked Lashway's path. ne
man drew his razor and slashed the
policeman across the face Darcy
clung to him, and before Lashway
could break away the surgeons arrived
and one of them, who had grabbed a
bed comfort, threw it over Lashway 5
head.
Lashway was locked up on a charge
Of felonious assault In his pocket
was found letter, which stated MS
intention of killing his wife and then
himself. She had ruined their SIX emil
dren and his life, he said, through
drunkenness. Their six children are IN
charitable institutions. In postscript
Lashway asked them to forgive HIM.

to Bottom.

Protesting that they had been unfair
ly treated by their German captors, 134
officers and seamen of four Of the mer-
chant vessels seized and destroyed by
the German cruiser Prinz Eitel Fried
rich arrived here from Newport News
on the Princess Anne, Of the Old Do
minion Line, at o'clock yesterday
afternoon.
The spokcsmen for the bitter party
were from the French and Russian
ships. They didn't appear physically
affected by what they regarded as
most unpleasant experience, but they
expressed high indignation over their
treatment on the Eitel Friedrich.
And they hadn't much regard for the
German sense of humor. The prison.
ers, they said, were kept below decks
when a capture was made. but were in
vited up TO watch as a captured vessel
was destroyed by dynamite.
The men brought 10 port were "a
from the Floride (French), q from the
Pierre Lott (French), % from the ia
cobsen French) and 13 from the lsa-
bella Brown (Russian). The best story

I've left Taltal, Chill, on December 3
with a cargo of nitre. We were bound
for Falmouth to await orders. About
IL o'clock on the night of January 26,
when we were in latitude 80 south,
longitude 25 west. we saw the smoke OF
the German. 1t was bright moonlight
night. We didn't take it for German
vessel-we thought it a friendly steam
er bound for Buenos Ayres.
Before we had clearly made out the
nationality and nature of the vessel she
was on US, asking our nationality.
When we replied we were ordered to
heave to, and two officers and fifteen
men came alongside and told us we
would have q half ''our to get our lug
gage off and stow the sails. As with
the other ships, the food was taken off.

favor by his seryile attitude. other
wise he would not have prohted by
the refusal of his officers and crew
to sign "A paper that they would not
engage in any hostile act against
Germany.
While the officers and crews which
were captured were not exactly NAL
treated, they were not shown any con-
sideration on the part of the Ger
mans. The food was detestable and
insufficient. Water was lacking and
brackish. The captives were placed IN
the midst of sick persons and they
we're almost eaten up by insects IN
the close holds.
This is treatment, perhaps, but it
is not ROYAL!
They were astonished at the es-
pionage against the least OF their
movements. In the tropics they were
refused water and did not have suf-
fcient air TO breathe. In cold weather
they were nearly frozen, with all the
doors open and no stoves"
The officers of the captured vessels
told their stories without a thrill. For
good reasons they looked upon the
situation as nothing short of an event
of tough luck, and there was nothing
of the dramatic in their .ccItal.
The French and Russian consuls
looked after the officers and men. The
officers went to the Hotel Brevoort
and the men TO the New Hotel at the
foot Of Barrow Street. All will leave
on Sunday for Havre on the French

Washington, March ~. Secretary Of
Labor Wilson's fondness fot dogs has
led him 10 adopt all tramp dogs that see
