Eleven In First Week.
[By Ed. l.. Keen, United Press Staff
Correspondents
LONDON, Feb. 25.-Eleven steam
ers are known to have suffered dlsas-
ter in British waters since Germany's
new war zone decree went into ef-
feet one week ago. At least three
others are missing, possible victims
cf German torpedoes or mines And
Berlin clings to her claim that Brit
ish transport has been sunk in the
English channel, despite authoritative
denials here.
Two of the vessels sunk in British
waters were neutrals, the Norw egian
steamers Relridge and Regin. The
French steamer Dinorah was sent to
the bottom off Dieppe. The other
known victims Of Won Tirpitz's new
warfare were British.
The kaisers "untersaa bootes" have
been active in three distinct regions
around Britain's coast. They have
sunk two steamers il the Irish sea;
have attacked eight more in the Eng
lish channel and today the admiralty
ofieially admitted the sinking of the
steamer Deptford in the North sea off
Scarborough
The small coaster Western Coast,
whose sinking was also announced to-
day, went to the bottom southwest OF
beachy Head and several miles west
Of the zone where the Germans have
displayed unusual ACTIVITY In the last
twenty-four hours. The Harpalion
and Rio Parano, torpedoed yesterday
afternoon, were sunk near Dover. The
western Coasts survivors were land
ed at Portsmouth today.
That the German submarine COM
manders intend to give no warning to
merchantmen hereafter, is indicated
by the stories told today by members
OF the crews of the Harpalion and the
Oakby. In each instance, they said,
the Germans shot torpedoes against
their vessels and then slipped away,
ieaving the crews to the mercy OF the
waves.

Since 1898, when France first real

have been passed for the protection Of
women about to give birth to children
under unfortunate circumstances. Al

Matrimonial Mixup and
AnioaZ Of Girl Bride
Make Preacher Resigr

Kenosha, Wis, Jan. 12.-Because a
16 year old girl, whom he had married
in Chicago last November. came here
to assist him in his church work, Rev.
James Morrison Darnen, pastor Of
Henry NJ Simmons Memorial church,
has given up his pulpit here.
The night before when Darnell had
learned that his wife was determined
to come here. Mrs. Ruth Soper Darnell,
to whom. the minister had referred as
his wife. left hurriedly with her baby
for her home in Owatonna, MINI.
Darnell. whose marriage to Doris
Vaughn was performed by the Rev
Myron T. Adams Nov. II. 1919, re-
turned to Chicago with her and now IS
at her home. To the trustees of the
church he showed clippings from an
Owatonna paper announcing the birth
Of a son to the Rev. James Morrison
Darnell and wife, and giving the date
Of their marriage as October, 1913
As a means of deferring further the
arrival Of the Chicago bride, it is said,
Darneu wrote her of a smallpox cpl
demic, OF which he said he had become
a victim and that he was locked in an
isolation hospital. and finally that his
cousin had lost her life through the
disease
Then Mrs Darneu telegraphed that
she would start from Chicago at once
for Kenosha. Mr.. Darnell took Ruth
Soper Darnel1 and her baby to the
train bound for Minnesota He met his
wife next morning and explained the
situation. which, he said, was cOmpli-
Gated but innocent She was satisfied,
but the trustees Of the church were
not. The pastor therefore rendered his
resignation and went to Chicago with
his wife.
