EYE WITNESS TELLS
OF SUBMARINES WORK

London. March ~ G:tD u. M ~
An eye witness of the torpcdoiug Of
the British steamers Indian city and
Hcadlands, OFF the Sicily islands, tells
the following story of the event
About 3 o'clock Friday morning q
German submarine torpcdocd the
steamer Indian city. Of Biddleford,
within sign OF HughtuWn. on st.
Mary's island. The submarine re-
manned in the vicinity about an hour
and was an object of keen interest
to the ISLANDERS, who watched devel-
upments as the crew OF the steamer
rowed their boats toward the shore.
Two patrol boats. which were In the
roadsted, put TO sea and FASTENED in
the direction Of the submarine on
which they opened fire. The sub
marine was then about ten miles from
shore and the miniature battle was
kcenly followed by the sghtsecrs
crowdng the shore
when the patrol boats approached
the submarine, the latter suddenly
submerged herself, but rcappeared a
little later about two miles further
west The patrol boats stopped TO
pick mp the crew OF the Indian city
and then gave chase to the submarine,
tanced.
After evadng the patrol boats. the
submarine sighted the steamer Head
lands. OF lIartlcpool, ana went in pur-
suit of the ship. The chase was
brief. the German easily overtaking
the steamer seven miles south of St.
Agnes island. Both vessels We're seen
10 be constantly turning and maneu-
VeTlng as a result of the merchant
mans efforts 10 escape destruction
FINALLY the steamer stopped and
"a large quantity Of steam was seen
escaping from her safety valves.
Then IT was noticed that preparations
were being made TO leave the steamer
and "a few minutes later the crew
was observed In lifeboat pulling
away.
AT l0.l0 o'clock in the morning
through the telescope / saw a upward
rush Of black smoke, apparently the
result of the explosion OF a torpedo,
The Hcadlands evidently was struck
for she began to settle down
BY the stern. The submarine went off
to the westward. and apparently was
pursuing third steamer when she !

barrack now, and shortly after
Brussels was occupied two 77-milli-
meter guns were swung into position
near it, commanding the Marollian
quarter. AS soon as they were
placed, from every house in the
quarter where there was an extra
length of stovepipe a dummy cannon
was showed out of a window.
The soldiers made the Marollians
take down the stoyepipes, but they
could not arrest d quarter of a mill
lion people.
Regular patrols were placed in the
quarter then, so the half-grown
Marollian boys organized to patrol
the streets also. Sticking carrots
through the tops of old derby hats,
they contrived fair limitations of the
German helmets, and for arms they
carried broomsticks, into the ends of
which knives had been tied They
patrolled the streets as conscien-
tiousiy as the Germans, and changed
the guard as regularly Every time
the German Governor issued an order

One Of the orders issued by the
German Governor was hardly more
than a piece of advice to the people
to go back to what work they could
f1d. 1t was not unkindly meant.

When white paper was pasted over

Views OF The / ress
Comic Relief IN Belgium

T>HERE have been sorrow and
misery enough in Belgium, and
undoubtedly there still are. Yet
a traveller who has recently returned
from the captive nation Is able to
say, Belgium is so little conquered
in spirit that it is kept from instant
revolt only by the hope that the
Allies will soon drive the Germans
out" And he records such a glimpse
of the temper of the people as this:
saw street-vender selling little
buttons bearing the portraits of the
King and Queen of Belgium, and,
while this would not have struck me
as noteworthy in Brussels, where
nearly the whole population flaunts
its loyalty by wearing the portraits
Of Albert and Elizabeth, it was
another matter in Liege. The iron
hand is much more prominent there.
So | asked the vender if he was not
afraid of offending the Germans. He
was only a street-vender, but he rose
10 the situation. Stepping back and
placing his hand on his heart with
perfect dignity. he replied without a
trace of heroics, "We are always
Belgians."
Needless to say, where there is
such a sentiment thrilling the hearts
Of a conquered people, there are sure,
to be here and there outbreaks Of
ironic humor and rather bitter satire
which, however CALLING to those in
authority. are amusing to outsiders.
