STRUCK MINE
AMERICAN STEAMSHIP EVELYN
LOADED WITH COTTON, SUNK
IN NORTH SEA.
CAPTAIN AND CREW SAVED
struction Not Established-Ger-
many DiscIaims Responsibility,
as She Needs Cotton Badly.

Bremen.-The American steamship
Evelyn which sailed from New York
on January 20 with a cargo of cotton
for Bremen, struck a mine Sunday off
Borkum island, in the North sea. The
vessel sank. Her captain and 81 of
her crew were saved. The nationality
of the mine which destroyed the Eve
Ign has not been established.
The Evelyn is the first American
vessel to meet with disaster as a re-
suit of the sea warfare of the Euro
pean nations. 1t did not sink within
the war zone included in the German
admiralty's decree of February A.,
which vent into effect Feb. IS. Bor-
KUN island lies directly off the Ger
nan coast, at the mouth of the Ems
river, and is German territory.
Maritime records give the compile
ment of the Evelyn at rs men, so that
it is probable that all on board the
vessel were rescued.
The Evelyn was a single screw steel
steamship and was commanded by
Captain Smith. 1t was owned by the
firm of Harriss, Irby & Vose of New
York and carried a cargo of cotton to
Bremen. 1t was 252 feet long and 1885
tons net. 1t was built in Southampton,
England, in 1888. It's home port was
Philadelphia.
The Evelyn was last reported as ar
irving at Rotterdam OF February II.
While the extent of sea zones of war
proclaimed by Germany was never de-
fined exactly, the Borkum islands are
considered far distant from the danger
areas of submarines, although the wa
tiers of that vicinity are filled with
mines for defensive purposes, through
which Germany always has piloted in
coming ships. At the German embassy
it was pointed out that the accident
must have been caused by a mine, as
Germany, sorely in need of cotton,
would have no object in t~orpedoing a
vessel laden with such a cargo for
German consumption.
Early press dispatches from Berlin
announcing the loss of the vessel by a
mine caused somewhat of a sensation
in this capital, where the tension has
been more or less pronounced over the
situation in the wal zones since the
dispatch of warning notes by the Uni
ted States to both Great Britain and
Germany. 1t was conceded informal
ly that if the cause of the accident was
a mine there probably would be no
ground for diplomatic action by the
United States, as the laying of mines
is not prohibited by any international
convention now in force.
Berlin Blames England.
notwithstanding to advices receiv-
ed here Captain Smith of the American
steamer Evelyn has informed the Ger
man authorities that his ship came to
grief through the advice of a British
naval boarding officer, who instructed
him to follow the course on which he
struck the mines, instead of the north
erly course, as laid down in the Ger
man instructions. The disaster occur
red at A o'clock Friday morning and
the Evelyn sank seven hours later.
Captain Smith, a Dutch pilot, and 10
men drifted in a row boat initial Sat
urday afternoon when they were res
cued by a German patrol boat.

Improved Putting is Goal
Of Every Real Golf Player

Every golfer is anxious to improve
his putting. He tries a new putter,
he adopts a different stance, he
changes his grip, but often all things
fail, and his ball is as far as ever
from the cup. If he sees Walter j.
Travis on the green he initiates his
methods, but rarely obtains the Ira
Wis result. First he walks off the
green and surveys the roll between
his ball and the pin. Then he crosses
to the other side and gauges the slope
from the pin to his ball. Next he
picks up the dead leaves, straws, and
other such hazards, brushes away the
worm-casts with the back of his hand,
gives a last look-and misses his put.
He decides that he Is all wrong and
goes to the opposite extreme by initial
ing Alec Smith Alec strolls on the
green, gives what seems careless
glance toward the cup, and imme-
diately taps his ball down without
any ceremony. When the aspiring
duffer tries this the results are horri-
BILE, and he labels Smiths apparent
carelessness as a delusion and a
snare.
Then he watches Tom Mcnamara,
who has the reputation as a deadly
putter. and is astonished to find that
almost every ball that he hits on the
green. He tries this method in de-
spair and gives It up in disgust. He
eventually comes to the conclusion
that putting is natural gift, throws
away his old putter, and buys a new
one, with which he does just as badly
as ever.
