The film inspector, who visits
the theatres of the state looking
for uncensored films which are be-
ing shown, has prosecuted pro-
prietors as close to Abilene as
Manhattan. The manager of the
Marshal theatre was fined $25 and
costs for showing a picture sent
out by a company when it Yves CEN
sored and barred from the state.
The film company had to pay the
fine and costs. Inspectors who may
have visited the local theatre, with
out doubt, found them showing
only films passed by the state
board and in every way complying
with the law.

LONDON, April 6-Dashing
through heavy sea with incredible
speed, giant German submarine tor
pedoed and sank the British steamer
Northlands off Beachy Head on Mon
day Landed at Deal today by a Bel
gian steamer, some of the "a mem
bers of the crew of the NorthIands
expressed the belief the submarine
was the famous U-12. Others were
convinced it was an undersea raider
of newer and more powerful type.
On the heels of the news of the
sinking of the Northlands came word
from Blythe of the torpedoing of an
other trawler by submarine in the
North sea. Thirteen members of the
crew of the trawler Agatha, Landing
there, told of the sinking of their
vessel which made a brave attempt
to escape the German but was run
down and sent to the bottom.
The Northlands also tried to es-
cape but was overhauled and torpe-
doed.
The Northlands' crew told the most
thrilling stories of submarine war
fare yet heard. The signal Of the
submarine to halt was ignored. The
Northlands started a dash for life.
The boats were manned but constant
ly the steamer plunged forward in
zigzag course toward the shore. A
gale was blowing high and high seas
caused even the big steamer to roll
and pitch. The submarine could be
seen gaining. cutting through the wa
ter at amazing speed. 1t soon came
alongside.
Abandon your ship" was the COM
mand of the submarine. The boats
were lowered and within five min
utes, while the crew was still rowing
within 100 yards of the Northlands,
a torpedo struck her amldships and
a terrific explosion nearly broke the
vessel in two.
