| Brlin, NOV. 15.-Thc Austro- Hun.
| garian admiralty yesterday officially
announced that the Italian steamship
| Ancona attempted to escape at full
speed after a warning shot had been
/ fred across her bow, and that the YES
sci stopped only after being shelled
several times by an Austrian subna
rine The submarine commander, 1t
is further asserted, allowed the An
cona's passengers and crew 40 minu-
ties to abandon ship. after which the
vessel was to.pedoed, sinking three
quarters of an hour later. The re-
port that the submarine fred on the
life-boats is denied. The statement
issued by the Austro-Hungarian adj
miralty. after declaring that the for
eign press had spread false rumors
regarding the Ancona incident, says
the sinking took place as follows:
THE submarine fired one shot in
front of the Ancona's prov, whereup-
on the steamer fled at full speed. in
accordance with the order issued by
the Italian authorities, which in
structs ships commanders to flee or
to sink the submarine The subma-
rine pursued the steamer and con
tined firing. but the vessel stopped
only after being hit several times.
THE submarine allowed 45 minutes
for the passengers and crew TO aban-
don the steamer, ON board of which
panic reigned, but only q small num-
Der of boats were lowered and these
were occupied principally by the
crew, A great number of boats. prob
ably sufficient to save all the passen-
gers, remained unoccupied After
period of so minutes and as another
steamer was approaching, the subma-
rine submerged and torpedoed the An
coma which sank after an additional
45 minutes If any OF the passengers
lost their lives this was due to the
fault OF the crew, because the steam
er tried to escape after it had receive
ed orders to stop. and then the crew
saved only themselves and not the
passengers.

press that the submarine fred On the
Ancona's lifeboats are mendacious in

REDUCING FIRE E.ANeER
Forestry Department Encourage
Lumbermen to Reduce Fires

Forestry Department Encourage
Lumbermen to Reduce Fires
In order to reduce the danger Of
fire after numbering. the Vermont for
estFy department is introducing a
novel method. In New-York there is
law requiring all lumbermen to Top
the branches from trees when cut so
that they will reach the ground and
speedily decay. There is no such law
in Vermont and it is the practice
among our umbermen to leave the
ground covered with slash in such a
way that it soon becomes very dry
and is almost sure to burn in time.
Lumbermen are interested in protect
ing their uncut forests from fire, but
as a rule seem to care very little what
happens TO their land after cutting.
During the past few years the state
has been called upon to pay several
thousand dollars for eXtinguishing
large fires which are really due to the
carelessness of land owners in leay,
ing fire nuisance.
In order tc encourage the propec
disposal OF slash the state forester
offers a prize to the lumber company
that makes the best disposition of its
slash during the winter Of 1866
The prize offered is the maintenance
during the fire season of 1916 OF a
state or federal patrolman to protect
the holdings OF the company making
the best effort to protect itself. This
patrolman will be in addition to the
regular force which has been main
tanned the past two years.
In Offering this prize the Forestry
department does not impose any I'M
possible conditions It does not spec
ify in what way the slash shall be dis
posed off 1t does not require that
the slash throughout d cutting shall
he disposed Of 1t may be on a strip
along the edge Of the cutting, 1t is,
however, stated that no applicants
win be considered who have not
made some disposal of slash over an
area of at least 100 acres All com
,panies desiring to be considered in
this contest should notify the forest
ry department before March Is, 1916,
in order that their lands may be in
spected before the spring fire season.
