Thieving Pirates, is
Way German Journal
Interprets U. s. Note

HAMBURG, Nov. 11.--(Via London.)-
The Hamburg Nachrichten, commenting
on the American note, says:
Pirates. commercial robbers. law
breaking and 'inelegant' extortionists are
pilloried before the whole world by the
note. whose protests and demands are
exhaustively based on existing treaties
That is the chief meaning OF the note.
THE violation of Gracian neutrality
was established for all time by the
Grecian note OF protest over the signature
of the then premier. Venizelos. The note
of the United States has also testified to
Great Britains numberleSs crimes
against maritime law.
What will happen further depends on
how Washington IS ready to act II its
demands are not fulfilled. and II Great
Britain does not abandon its violations
Of neutral rights. The American gov
ernment does not lack the power and
methods of bringing pressure to bear.
For the present we are content with the
characterization of Great Bditain as a
selfish. greedy and thieving despot on
the free seas"

Bible Reference
Sent by Dakotan
Held Up by Censor

SIOUX FALLS. s. D.. Nov. u.-(Spe-
cial.) .)-Because Herman Halvorson OF
Sinai. a member OF tho Board OF Com
missioners of Brookings county quoted
two verses OF scripture in a cablegram to
his brother, Peter Halvorson. a mission
airy in Madagascar, the British govern
ment held up tho cablegram under the
belief that It was cipher message. The
cablegram was sent to the brother in
Madagascar for the purpose of informing
him of the death, OF the mother of the
two men in South Dakota. The two verses
OF scripture had been selected by the
South Dakota brother TO be used at the
funeral OF the mother, and he cabled
them TO his brother so the latter could
utilize the same verses at simultaneous
funeral services in honor of the mother
at services held by him in his mission In
Madagascar.
The British government finally was sat
isfied. after referreg the matter back TO
the United States and South Dakota, and
after delay OF some days permitted the
cablegram to go forward after the word
''verses'' had been added.
The cablegram consisted OF fourteen
words and cost the South Dakota brother
$3.50 There Is no doubt the British gov
ernment spent several times that amount
before IL was convinced that the cable
gram was purely personal one from one
brother to another announcing the death
Of their mother.

FIRST STORIES OF DISASTER

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE italian
steamer Ancona was not sunk with
out warning, according TO informa-
on obtained from survivors landed
at Malta by the Reuter- correspondent
and cabled here.
The Austrian submarine, which
overhauled It after long, stern
chase, gave the commander a brief
respite to permit the removal Of pas
sengers, but the indescribable panic
which began among the immigrants
on board as soon as the underwater
craft was sighted was responsible for
the loss of many lives. In a mad
rush for safety men, women and chill
dren overwhelmed the boats. several
of which we're overturned before they

cupants fell into the sea and we're
drowned.
Passengers agree, the Correspon-
dent says, that shots fired around the
steamer by the submarine apparently
to hasten the loading of the boats
