TO FIRE LONDON
NEXT GERMAN MOVE

Boston. Mass. May s.--Sailors from
the German vessel here say that within
a month a desperate effort Is going
to be made to destroy the city of Lon
don by nre. The men who made this
statement are the same ones who said
three weeks ago that the Lusitania
was going to be torpedoed. They also
say that within two weeks one of ths
British ships sailing out of this port
is 10 be torpedoed.A
The sailors grew merry recently at q
certain saloon where they have been
in the habit OF congregating and II
was then the remark was made that
orders had been issued by the German
admiralty to the submarine feet to
get" the Lusitania. and that she was
sure to he sunk.
Continuing their boastfui converse
ton, the sailors said that big fleet
OF Zeppelins and Taubes WAS going
TO make m attack upon London on
a certain date in the near future, AM
plans had been perfected whereby
Germans In that city, upon the nrst
appearance Of the airships over Lon
don. were to start simultaneously 900
or 400 fires. aiming particularly 20
destroy property along the water
front.
The Germans said they expected 70
lose many of their flying machines
but thay. considered the price would
be cheap considering the damage they
expected to infiict.
