STRANGE STORY IS TOLD
 OF SUBMARINE INCIDENT

NEW YORK, Dec 1.-One of the most awful stories of the war was related here by witnesses who were present when two hundred and fifty persons, including women and children, jumped overheard from the British steamship Borealis in th. Mediterranean when a Turkish submarine suddenly made its appearance. An extraor- dnary feature of the story is that the commander of the submarine performed a heroic part in trying to save the panic stricken people. The occurrence took place October ?. As the vessel was travelling along the submarine suddenly appeared on the surface close by and panic at once seized upon those aboard Several women threw their babies into the sea and then jumped after them The Turkish sub- marine crew acted with splendid heroism trying to save them, and only twenty five persons were drowned. In the midst of the panic the Turkish commander was heard to cry out to the people on the ship in perfect English For Gods sake go back to your ship. We are not murderers." He and his men gave up every other thought in the effort to haul the women and
 dren out of the water One woman threw three children into the sea and then went raving mad. Finally the steamship was al lowed to proceed on its way, and the gal
 ant Turkish commander waited and watched until she was out of sight

TWO DAWSON YOUNG MEN
 KILLED IN THE WORLD WAR

The Dawson News of October 29 reports the death at the front of Jack Watt and Charley Philllp-, two of the first men to en- list in Yukon territory, The News says;
 Jack Watt and Howard Grestock were the two first lukoners to leave Dawson tor the front They got away from Dawson m August 1913, immediately after the news ot war having been declared reached here. Both joined the Strathcona Horse and trained at Salisbury last spring, and this year volun- teered with the others of the force to go to the front as nfantrymen when it was de cided that cav airy would not be needed
 Jack Watt was a native of England and leaves an aged mother there for whom he wa, the sole support. He lived in and about Dawson for years, and was engaged here in prospecting and other work. He was a veteran of the Boer war, where he served with distinction. Everyone here who knew Jack honored and respected him, and his death will be keenly regretted throughout the Yukon, and by many friends of his now far beyond Iukons borders.
 Phillips referred to in the message as having been killed in Africa, must have been Charley Phillips. who left here last March for the front. He visited his old home in England and aiterward joined the Twenty fifth battalion Royal Fusileers, Legion of Frontiersmen, which sailed shortly after ward for East Africa. Only yesterday the News published letter which 1t received the evening before from Charley from point in East Africa. If the report is true that he is killed, that may prove the last letter from him to his old Yukon friends. He was in the same regiment with Andy Hart of Dawson. Charley was handsome young man, in the prime of life of lovable disposition, and ore who made friends every where. He mentioned in his letter yester- day that he he'd three brothers in the ranks,

krause in Jail

Mrs. Christie, the wife of William Christie, for whose supposed murder Edward krause is held in jail in Juneau, visited the prisoner recently and pleaded with him for some in formation about her missing husband. Krause was deeply affected but replied, Il cannot tell" and refused to state whether these words meant that he knew or did not know or refusal to tell. It IS coming to be believed that Krause is not guilty of half the crimes which had been laid to his charge, although the conviction IS strong that he dl't do away with Christie and Ole Moe at least. During all his life he has been noted as a silent teciturn individual, and he IS living up to that reputation in jail Mrs. Christie seemed to be deeply moved while visiting him.

Many Men Missing

Three more names may be added to the list of missing men in Southeastern Alaska, says the Valdez Miner. The Juneau papers have been asked to assist in securing in formation as to the whereabouts of NelS Peterson, Henry Johnson and Andrew Brown, who went out on deerhunting trip to Pybus bay, intending to remain only ten days or two weeks. They had not been heard from in five weeks. The men bor- rowed Mir. Carlson's launch, the Sjofogel, as Brown, the only one of the trio who had owned a boat, lost his launch when the City of Seattle bumped it at the Pacific Coast wharf some time ago Mir. Carlson feels certain that harm has befallen the three men, They had intended hunting in
 he south arm of Pybus bay, but as the .aunch Murrellet was in both the north and south arms of Pybus bay about the time tohnson, Brown and Peterson should have been there and saw nothing of them, they are believed to be lost. The disappearance ,f the three men brings the list of missing men up to eleven three of whom, William Christie, James Plunkett and Ole Moe, are thought to have been killed by Edward Krause. The others are l. H. Irwin of the federal bureau of fisheries, Charles A.
