said. were shot down in cold blood by
members of the British boats crew to
whom they had surrendered.
The affidavits were made by sailors
from the Nicosian, whose capture the
submarine was attempting when at
tackled. The first reports or the attack
came in an unauthenticated letter from
DR.. Charles B. Banks, veterinarian on
hoard the Nicosian. He stated that
the officers believed the submarine was
the same one which sank the Arabic.
The Ambassador made 10 recon-
mendations i'm submitting the atidavits
and would not say, when questioned at
the Ritz-Carlton, whether he would ask
the United States 10 act in the matter.
According 20 the affidavi.s, six Of ;he
German sailors were shot while seek
ing rescue in the water-the captain,
after raising one hand in surrender
and the others were shot down after

ried on until .hey disappeared in drift
ing clouds. Il was all that one could
see of our infantry attack, led by
bombers.
The enemy was firing tempest OF
shells. Some of them were curiously
colored, of pinkish hue or with orange
shaped puffs OF vivid green. They were
poison shells. giving out noXious gases.
All the chemistry Of death was poured
out OH both sides.

as usual in machine guns, and held on
to some of his trenches with desperate
courage, while those which we had
captured came under fire Of his bat

[By Cable to The Tribunal

British Headquarters, Oct. II (Dis-
patch from Philip Gibbs to "The Daily
Chronicle" London. The following is
a description of the British gas attack
on October l3 on the German trenches
from southwest of Hulluch to the
Hohenzollern redoubt, near Loos:
The whole line of battle was in a
grayish mist, which obscured all land
marks, go that even the tower bridge
was but family visible. But presently,
when our artillery lifted, there were
new clouds arising from the ground
and spreading upward in a great, dense
curtain of heecy texture. They came
from our smoke which was TO mask our
infantry attack, and beyond them rolled
another wave of cloud OF thinner, winter
vapor, which clung 10 the ground and
then curled forward to the enemy's 3
lines.
That's our gas said voice on one
of the Stag heaps amidst the little
group of observers, "and the wind is
dead right for it."
Said another voice: "The Germans
will get taste of it this time"
Then there was silence, and some OF
those observers held their breath as
though the gas had caught their own
throats and choked them. They tried
20 pierce that great bar of cloud to
view the drama behind its curtain.
The men caught in those fumes in
terror-stricken flight before its ad-
vs .ce and the sudden cry of the en-
