CARRIED CARGO

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Sept o.
The German merchant submarine
Bremen. with s25. 100000 cargo,
has been captured by the British and
is being held at Falmouth. according
to DR.. r. TAFT Mckenzie, director OF
physical education at the University
Of Pennsylvania, who arrived here
yesterday after serving 16 months in
the medical corps OF the British
army.
Doctor Mckenzie bases his asser-
ton on what he considers reliable
information which he received short
ly before he sailed from England a
little more than a week ago. The
method and place Of the capture are
regarded as military secrets in Eng
land. he says. and for tina, reason
the story of the Bremen's fate has
been kept out of the British news
papers.
The story as it was told him was
repeated by Doctor Mckenzie yes
terday in his office at the University
gymnasium. He also gave graphic
accounts of life i'm England in war
times and the effect of Zeppelin
raids. poison gas and other examples
Of German "frightfulness" on the
English people.

tor Mckenzie that he had been called
to assist the British Government in
placing a value on the carga, reveal
ed the story of its capture. While
military censors have so far kept the
story from the British press, Doctor
Mckenzie says. he has no reason to
doubt It, as his informant is a man
Of reputation and high standing in
