German Submarine Captains Kill
Crew. Blow Out Own Brains
- When Caught
(AssOciatod Press BY Federal wireless. J


NEW YORK, February 1l.--That the
crews of whatever German submarines
may be entangled in the steel nets set
by the British navy and trapped below
the surfac are killed by their own of.
ficers to avoid the slow death Of suffo-
cation, is the report brought here by DIR.
M. s. Inglis, Canadian surgeon, con
neeted with the Canadian Army Mel.
ical Service, who has just returned
from England.
Doctor Inglis states that he has per,
sonally examined the bodies found by
the British in seventeen German sub
marines, towed into port as prizes after
being captured in the British nets. In
zach case, he says, after the underwater
lrafts have been opened, the members
of the crews are found to be shot, eac h
seaman with bullet in his brain.
The belief is that the commanding
officer kills his sailors and subordinates
and then commits suicide, accepting
this alternative to a slower but as cert,
lin q death,
The British are now using glass. bot
toned boats in their scouting work for
submarines.

WASHINGTON, February 1l-A real

scientific tariff board are two great OBJ.
jeetives which President Wilson has set
himself to attain, he told the delegates
to the convention of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States here
last night. He is working hard to get
both, declared the President. ~
Mr.. Wilson also said that the coun-
try is being well served by the reserve
bank act. But for that law, he told
his hearers, the financial crisis that
came with the outbreak Of the war in
Europe, would have wrecked the Uni

He also took the oppo, sunity to find
fault with the attitude Of the American
business man, who, he asserted, has

his country, and has. refused to broaden
his mental and commercial vision be-

London is watching with consider.
able anxiety signs of gathering of the
war cloud over the allied forces now
entranched outside of the Greek city
Of Salonika, and il is believed that
the Teutons and their Bulgarian allies

have had considerable successes to
the northwest of Vimy in the Artois
region. There the Germans are said
to have captured a large section of the
Allied trenches. #
Berlin also laid claim to the recap
ture of a mine crater at Neuville, where
of late there has been much desperate
fighting. 1t is admitted by the Ger
man war Office that the French had
been successful in driving the Teutons
out Of section of trenches south of
the river Somme.
This last gain by the allies is called
by Paris, tfEaterial, - and Paris also
reports that the French and British
have been victorious in trench con

WTASHINGTON, February H.
w Lindley NJ. Garrison, secretary
Of war in President Wilson 's
cabinet, and Henry Breekenridge, as
sistant secretary Of war, yesterday pre-
sented their designations to President
Wilson, who formally accepted them.
The fact Of the acceptgheess Of the two
|reyignations was otisialiy nmpuneed at
,the'white House last night.
This step on the part Of the seere-
taty Of war, which had been wholly
unexpected by the general public, is
expected to mark the acceptance Of d
number of radical changes in the mill
tary program now being mapped out by
the military committees Of house and
senate and the abandonment Of the
Continental Army idea, which con-
stituted the pivotal point Of Secretary
Garrison's preparedness program.
Garrison Makes Statement y
Mr.. Garrison stated last night, after
the White House announcement of the
acceptance Of his resignation, that he
had resolved to resign when it became
apparent that the congressional major
ity was not. prepared to endorse the
main feature Of his military program
and when the President, although an.
nouncing that he continued to approve
the Continental Army idea, stated that
he would not make a fight for it in
the face of congressional opposition.
The President took the stand that the
main thing now is to secure the adop-
tion of sore legislation which win pro-
vide the nation with an adequate force
of re'9rves and told Mr. Garrison that
he was willing that the details for this
legislation should be worked out
through "common counsel =
Philippine Bill Opposed
1t is understood that another sub
stantial reason why the secretary OF
war has stepped down and out Of the
cabinet is TO show his opposition to
the action of the senate IN passing the
Philippines Bin as altered by the
Clarke Amendment, which places the
further occupation of the Philippines
by the United States as not less than
two and not more than four years,
when the independence of the Filipino
Republic will be recognized and guar.
anteed. ~, ~-a 9.g &.'

lieves is really her own. "Silver
Spurs" also hears of the gold and de-
cides to secure it for himself.
While waiting for the stage coach,
the girl and the bandit meet. "Silver
Spurs" gallently gives her the first
chance. While Kate holds up the
coach, but is not able to secure the
gold, "Silver Spurs" keeps back the
sheriff and his posse who are riding
to protect it. "Silver Spurs" is wound
ed and is tracked to Hates cabin by
the posse. Deering enters the cabin
and despite Kate's protest that the
bandit is not there, discovers one of
the spurs. This spur happens to be
the one which Kate had Mexican girl
steal from the bandit to complete her
disguise
Frightened passengers of the stage
coach reach the Red Dog" Saloon and
there the gold is turned over to the
saloonkeeper for safe keeping. Kate
hears this and climbs through the
window and attempts to secure her
gold. Deering, seeing, crawls in be-
hind and captures her, supposing her
to be the real "Silver Spurs" When
he finds out who it really is, he is
thunderstruck, but decides to do his
duty. Kate is held for immediate trial
and is about to be sentenced to be
hanged, when the real "Silver Spurs
enters and after stealing the gold
leaves a sarcastic note where the re-
firing jury can see it.
Kate is acquitted. Deering realizes
his mistake-takes her in his arms
