WEPT AS THEY KILLED.
Germans in the vosges Said to Have
Lamented Their Orders.

PARIS, Feb. l6.-The Eclair re-
prints from the Journal de Geneve al
legged details Of a visit to Gerberviller,
the Meurthe ct Mosene township of
. 600 inhabitants where Sister Julie
saved wounded French soldiers by
bravely confronting the Germans, who
sacked the town, shot 1876 civilians and
burned everything except a little group
of ten houses surrounding that which
sheltered Sister Julie s wounded.
After describing from information
furnished by survivors, how the
German soldiers wept, lamenting the
brutality of the orders they dared not
disobey,' the correspondent tells of
his visit to Sister Julie, whom he
found cutting clothes for refugee chill
dren out of German overcoats.
''The stuff serves useful purpose,
after ALL - she said, as she shaped a
tiny pair of trousers.
"The best of all, says the CORE
spondent, recounting his conversation
with her, "was her reply when l said
that our troops would repay the Ger
mans with interest. She answered: ]
pray we may never 30 what they have
done here.'

SHIP BILL FIGHT
LAUNCHED IN HOUSE
Rule Limiting Debate to Six Hours
New Measure Expected to Secure
Approval.

WASHINGTON. Feb 16.-President
Wilson 5 fight for his ship bill was
launched in the House today with u
special rule limiting the debate to six
hours. Democratic leaders were sure
that holding their large majority firm
they would have new measure bear-
ing the approval of the administration
and probably attractive for RepubIl-
cans ready for the Senate before the
end Of today's session.
Meanwhile the senate marked time,
committees showed activity on the de-
tayed appropriation bills ana the spe-
cial committee appointed to investi-
gate the lobby in connection with the
ship bill held q preliminary meeting.
President Wilson. after conferences,
came to no determination on the ques-
tion of an extra session and only sent
out word to press the fight in the days
remaining of the 63d Congress.
After a preliminary round of debate in
which the Republicans hurled charges OF
gag rule and the Democrats defended
the measure the special rule was finally
adopted 1S6 to 139 and the house settled
down to six hours Of speech-making which
under ordinary circumstances would per
init final vote about $ o'clock tonight.

BRITISH SUBMARINES
IN BALTIC, But HOW?
Crept in After Steamships, One Berlin
Version-shipped Via Russia Is
Another.

AMSTERDAM, Feb. 16.-The Ber-
liner Tageblatt discusses the question
whether British submarines are in the
Baltic and gives publicity to two di-
vergent stories. According to one yer
sion, numerous communications from
well-informed sources Leave little doubt
that the recent attack on the German
cruiser Gazelle was undertaken by
large modern British submarines man
ned by English crews. Russia pos
sesses no underwater vessel of suffci-
ent tonnage and adequate equipment to
operate so far from it's base
1t was known some time ago, ac-
cording to this story, that three large
British submarines We're lying at the
Russian port of Helsingfors, and it was
also known that a fourth British sub
marine of the same type maintained
communication between the coast of
Finland and the Russian naval station
in the Baltic These submarines can
not have entered the Baltic by way of
the Sound because the water there is
too shallow, the entrance too narrow
and the traffic in ships too great; tney
are alleged to have entered by way of
the Great Belt. although this is thick
ly strewn with mines. They accom-
plsh this by the simple trick of fol
lowing closely in the wake of steam
ships, which were carrying a pilot to
guide them through the mine fields. Al
any moment the submarines might have
collided with mines. while at times
they were forced to conceal themselves
by descending to the bottom and rest
| ing on the sea bed. This continued fol
several hours on one or two occasions

NEW KITCHENER ARMY
POURING INTO FRANCE
Reinforcements Estimated from 100000
to 100000 Are Nearing the Front.

NEW YORK, Feb. ia Paris letter
received by the Brooklyn Eagle tells how
the first troops Of the new Kitchener
armies are now pouring into France in
numbers variously estimated at 100000
to 100000 men.
The new men, says the Eagles CORE
spondent, have come from all parts of the
empire. Even a regiment from Malta has
recently been landed In France. The
Canadian forces that have been drilling
at Salisbury Plain are now in France
All that can be said is that these troops
have bv no means been simply taken
across the Channel and landed on the
north coast Of France That would be in
vlting too much danger from agiators and
submarines. The recent and repeated air
attacks on Duuknk have been caused be
yond a doubt by the movement Of troops
and supplies. The new troops have come
into France by the ports on the west
coast, from Brest to BordeauX. while, of
course, the Indian contlngents have been
landed at Marseilles
The unofficial reports are to the effect
that before long the British forces will
take the entire battle line north of Arras
or at the bend at Compiegne. all Of which
viii be no secret to the Germans The
most northerly British concentration camp
has been laid at Etaples, a small city
near the coast, south of Boulogne In
addition to being near the coast, it is a
strategic railroad centre, with connections
north, south, and east toward the battle
| line. Recent visitors there say that a
| whole new city has been built by the
! British government for the troops. There
are miles and miles of tents, and to sup
! ply drinking water new water main has
been laid through the city.
Persons who have come from England
recently report that for weeks at time
practically all railroad traffic had been
interrupted, because the troops were be
ing moved to France The same is true OF
the French lines, on which the newly made
English soldiers have been shipped from
the coast to the points on the battle lines
where they are to taste trench life and
German fire.

The recent supreme court decision

tried, District Attorney Clyne said,
''is not extraditable. but conspiracy to
violate the United States law is. If the
pugilist is not returned through any
of our various plans either before or
after his boxing match at Jurez.
Mexico, he will be indicted for con
spiracy, arrested wherever he may be
and brought back. He may elude it
and escape to Europe again, but his
freedom will be short hved.''
